Bugs found in Gather Meetings for iOS
Gather Meetings is a mobile app designed to facilitate remote team collaboration and socialization. It aims to recreate the experience of an in-person office environment by providing a persistent virtual space where team members can interact naturally.
The app offers features like easy meeting access, seamless meeting scheduling, integration with popular calendars, and the ability to view and share meeting details. Users can also easily see who is online and engage in spontaneous interactions.
QAwerk recently thoroughly examined Gather Meetings and identified some areas for improvement. We hope this report will be valuable to the Gather Meetings team in enhancing the app’s performance and user experience.
