Gather Reviews in May 2025: User Ratings, Pros & Cons

good

It feels like a real place and it works well! Now I can finally stop finding a website for a virtual office now that I have my very own gather space :)

Nice Idea, mad scripting

Nice Idea, all Browsers has enought compatible, but the developers are not experienced enough to work across browsers! Android and IOS are no longer usable, but why?!? No App im AppStore… Pats are gread but limited for Nothing! The Idea is unbelievable but the People behind there are nothing. This is so mad, kick the developers!

Really confusing…

Was excited to use this with our family but so confusing to use ! Hope you can make it more intuitive so more ppl can enjoy 👍

Pros and Cons Quick Read

PROS: Looks pretty cute, has a social edge over the no-nonsense video conference apps like Zoom and MSTeams, excellent audio and good video quality, press Z for dance, many thoughtful features (but not as many as there should be), social setting audio simulation is super good CONS: Can only walk in four directions, walking near others auto connects you to others' vid and mic feeds (this might give the feel of a real life setting where you can half-hear conversations you walk past, but here ...

nice idea, but terrible exxecution

the call quality is so bad, it's always at 1 bar. I have a good connection, zoom, google meet, skype, everything works. but in gather the voice is choppy and breaking.. tried turning off on any/all possible settings. nothing helps.

It's a nice idea, but needs work

It's a nice idea, but the map just doesn't save. I spent an hour constructing a virtual environment, saving regularly, only to end up losing it all to a really old saved version. Hopefully when it is more stable and they've worked out the bugs it will be a great platform. But right now it's not reliable enough.

very hard to customize

very hard to customize, and kept crashing when trying to save the new map. Not very intuitive. Shame as it's a nice concept.

This works well

This works well for people missing their 'common room' or bar experience at conferences or events. Think 'milling' at a drinks party.... who might you bump into? Would like to have more interactivity...

I just had a few minutes on this…

I just had a few minutes on this through my organisation. Seems a great idea and a lot of fun. We might subscribe to it.

I could not connect for a full 30…

I could not connect for a full 30 minutes. The real gather.town was the friends we made trying to connect on the way.
