And if anything pops up, we’ll ensure you have what you need to handle it.

started out fine, actually liked it better than life 360... now, though...hasn't refreshed in 4 weeks (and there has been PLENTY of movement). contacting the developer has been useless-- all I've gotten is a generic "we got your message" email.... I'll give them a chance to correct it, but if not, I'll be uninstalling the app

Hi Michele - We sent you an email on Saturday, Feb. 14 with our findings. Our reply could have gone to your spam folder. It seems that the user you are referencing is likely logged out of the app since January 20th. If they just open the app and log back in, then location sharing should resume as normal. Thank you!

Simple, straightforward free location app. It works great for my family. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because the location has a slight lag to it at times and it has sent me notifications that my kids have left the house or school when they didn't. They appeared in the right place when I pulled the map up. I have not used the car service feature and probably won't since I go to a family member for all things car related. I have had the app for about a week.

Thank you for the feedback Kimberly! We have multiple improvements planned over the next weeks to increase location accuracy and better handle situations where users have low connectivity, which can lead to these types of situations. If you have any issues in the meantime, please reach out to us at support@gather.life. Thank you!

no it does not. I just tested it again and there are no notifications. The minute you stop driving the little. Symbols up with the top notification bar disappear. And there's no notification that I did anything you might want to take a look at it again nope still doesn't work the notification appears on the top line but then dissappear when travel stops and I have viewed it yet.

Hi Michael - What you are referring to is called a "foreground service". It will appear as a silent notification when Gather is actively tracking your driving trip and will disappear when your trip has ended. You should now be receiving notifications as expected from users arriving / leaving the places you've setup though.
