Gathered Reviews

Overall Gathered concept was exactly what I was looking for and purchased a month trial on my MacBook. Unfortunately I’ve already canceled my subscription because of Gathered lacking some important features.
1. Not being able to share your boards is the main missing feature that made me switch to another app. This feature is extremely important for anyone collaborating on a group project.
2. There were also a few bugs within Gathered that were beyond annoying. Anytime I’d try to save one of the images to my photos folder, it wouldn’t let me save another image until the program was closed and reopened.
3. My account wouldn’t sync to Gathered on my iphone which is feature that’s a must for busy on the go people who aren’t able to take their laptops with them.

It’s great at creating inspiration boards or mood boards that are local but it lacks in the tools that would make it an actual amazing organization tool, such as bulk tag or keyword editing. Otherwise, it’s the best in the market

I use Dropmark and a few other methods to organize images, inspiration etc. This is really close to being a replacement since it’s native and minimal. Only thing I’d Ivone is the ability to save reference websites along with images. I currently screenshot sites and add them into the info, but it’s not super efficient. I do web design so saving inspiration sites etc would be super cool along with my general reference/mood images.

It looks a lot like pinterest and it’s pretty attractive scrolling through completed album. Free version only allows you 20 photos though which is basically nothing.

Suggestions:
•You can only add one by one which isnt very effective.
•You should be able to add tags to better organize.
•When clicking an image you should be able to swipe left and right based on sequential upload.
•When holding image and dragging you should be able to re-arrange location/change sequence

Have to say Gathered is one of my favorites, it’s invaluable for keeping track of assets and inspiration for graphics and design work. It’s like a personal pinterest. I like that Gathered interface is super polished and instantly intuitive to anyone familiar with iOS. It’s especially great how the native markup tool is integrated right into Gathered as well.

If I had a critique, I wish the markup annotations would show all the time, not just when the full image is viewed. But it’s not a huge deal.

Awesome that it’s a single purchase for the iPad, iPhone, AND the Mac versions.. Since most apps would charge a separate fee for each, it’s a steal for something that flawlessly syncs between all my devices.

Finally, a true successor to Ember!
