  1. 5/5Joined up for Smith & Wesson Forum

    I joined up for the Smith & Wesson Forum while researching my next firearm purchase and was not disappointed. There is an excellent community of individuals with far more knowledge and experience than myself and their reviews were extremely informative. Additionally, I found several other forums that I would have never considered looking in to had I not come across them on Gather. The Blacksmithing Forum, for instance, may have sparked a new life-long hobby for me.

  2. 5/5Great community consultation

    They have worked hard to make this app work and let me tell you, it works great! It seamlessly connects multiple forums (which have different usernames due to being different individual websites) into one package. My favorite part are the messaging system which allows you to communicate with admins from different forums but from the same location in the gather app.

  3. 5/5New app with forums of like minded individuals & interests.

    Initial impression was that there was not a lot of activity by users, only to realize it was indeed a newer app that is gaining popularity. Different forums are popping up every day where you can Gather and speak with fellow users on whichever forum topic you choose. Great for finding out information or sharing your knowledge on particular subjects.

  4. 5/5Cool App

    What a cool application for surfing the forum. It took a little time to learn all the nuances but once figured out was helpful and fun to use. The menus work really well and the interface is great too. It made surfing the forum a pleasure and the app looks really cool. I’d recommend this for anyone who wants to try surfing the forums. Still much to learn but overall very intuitive and a pleasure to use.

  5. 5/5Big improvement over mobile website

    I downloaded Gather as an easier means to interact with the Smith and Wesson forum. The app provides a much nicer user experience than trying to post via the mobile website, and the signup couldn't have been easier.
