With the launch of portfolio tracking, Gather is becoming one of Australia's most comprehensive money apps
From automated account tracking to monitoring and classifying expenses, Gather looks to step in where Pocketbook left off.
The hardest part of keeping a budget is keeping on top of where your money is going. Over the years there have been a number of apps and services that have offered a level of finance tracking, but one by one they seem to fail.
Pocketbook was my go-to app for a while, until it closed up shop. I used Pocketsmith, but the lack of a usable mobile app (and the ongoing subscription cost) really held it back. Apps like Frollo and the Finder app have some elements I like, but ultimately left me frustrated in one way or another.
So I've been watching the launch of Gather for a while now. Like Pocketsmith, it's a paid service, but unlike Pocketsmith it's mobile first, making it a much more convenient user experience.
This week, Gather launched Portfolio tracking, which was one of its big missing features. I've spoken with Parth Gulati, one of Gather's founders, to get a deeper insight into the latest update.
