User Reviews

Overall, Gather is praised for comprehensive, region-specific plant and mushroom profiles with seasonality and look-alikes, high-quality photos, and reliable reminders. Its intuitive, beginner-friendly layout and the journal feature to track foraging spots are frequently cited as game-changers. Reviewers also value trusted content from experienced foragers and potential for future updates. The main downside is the subscription model: high price, no free tier, and perceived paywall that turns off some users who would prefer a one-time purchase. Price remains the primary barrier despite strong utility and growth potential.

Pros

Region-specific, thorough plant and mushroom profiles with seasonality and look-alikes, plus high-quality photos.
Easy-to-use, intuitive layout that makes foraging approachable for beginners.
Reminders and accurate seasonal timing help plan and not miss foraging windows.
Journal feature for recording locations and tracking foraging progress.
Trusted content from experienced foragers with potential for future updates.

Cons

Subscription-based model with a high price and little to no free access.
Perceived paywall or bait-and-switch: app appears free but requires sign-up and payment to access features.
Desire for a one-time purchase option instead of ongoing subscription.
Cost barrier may deter beginners or budget-conscious users.

I have been getting more and more into this as I’ve gotten older as a kid. I mean, we ate a lot of wild stuff, but not foraging per se . I think you did an incredible job with this. I think it’s top-notch. Books. And with some of the more difficult species, I have struggled to ID. This takes a lot of the guest work, not all of it work out of what you were looking at ,I think it’s the most efficient thus far in my experience

I’m a forager who enjoys learning about new edible and medicinal plants that grow near me. My biggest concern when learning about a new plant is always toxic look a-likes, and have to hound the internet to be sure I know what I have— I’ll still do this of course, but this app is so detailed and has all the possible look a-likes (toxic and not) listed as well. The photos are incredible, and I love the option for notifying me when new plants may be coming into season. — I can’t recommend this app enough!!

This would have been a good app if anything were available without payment. The only thing you can do without paying is journal. Zero help. App makes you go thru all the prompts, captures your email to spam later, then finally tells you to pay to unlock every feature. Garbage.
