Very Useful Program. A 911 dispatcher manager suggested that “What 3 Words” was a very useful app to install because if you need help you can provide most 911 services the three words of your location and 911 can locate you. The app interacts with Google maps which also makes it a very useful tool to have.

Sounds useful but. Marketing convinced me. Apple downloaded for me. Tried to sign up with email account. Took all the steps. Tried to input a country other than the first in the alohabet-Albania- but could not see the country names. Page where they should appear was just white. I can hear the countries scrolling but there are no names appearing. I scrolled ahead several times to try to get to my country but gave up at Ireland. It is not a simple process to keep trying this way. I prefer not to create new accounts with Google sign in and do jot use Facebook at all. So I cannot create an account.

Wonderful app. Wonderful lists!!! Wonderful idea!!!. The app allows you to create lists that you can share and see on a map. Specific lists and distances from your current location. Wonderful idea as well to help find exactly where you are!!! Thank you!!! Many great ideas and awesome app developers!!! Find your designation and multiple ways to navigate using all the best nav apps. Way to be a team player!!! My go to app for where I’ve been, where I want to go, and what I want to share!!!

Great potential, but........ This app has great potential to get to a much more accurate location than normal GPS, but it has a couple of shortcomings that need to be addressed. First, if you decide to save more than a few locations you will have a hard time finding the one you want since there isn’t any way to sort them. They are just listed in the order you saved them. Until app makers like Apple add 3words to their contact app this is a problem. 3words could at least list them in alphabetical order using the name you set for the location. Second, the voice recognition is useless. I set 3 words to US English and it never locates the correct address. It always finds addresses that aren’t even in the US and the street numbers and names aren’t even close to what I am saying. One other small thing is when I copy an address from Contacts that includes an apartment number or suite number, 3words isn’t smart enough to parse out the apt or suite info so it can’t find the address. I have to edit it out myself manually. Since voice recognition doesn’t work, the app is kind of useless if you are in a hurry. It will also be much more useful if Apple and others add support to recognize the /// as a link so you don’t have to copy and paste the location.

What3wordd. Got to get my family to get this app. I picked my address and it showed my apartment and highlighted exactly where my apartment was on the 7 floor! AMAZING!!!!!! If my grandkids run into any kind of real problems in second it will show wher they are. Can not think of a app that should could be the most important one ALL should have on their phones. It tracks on demand.

New and innovative approach. I like the idea and can imagine so many uses for this mapping approach. I like being able to save the locations. I would like to change the order of my saved locations. So far I cannot see how to change the order of saved locations. It appears to be sorted based on the last location saved is top of the list. Great idea with vast potential, great job!

Great app. Suggestions for the future. There are so many possibilities for what could be done with this app. What if you could connect it to social media and publicly share locations. Or you could look at the map and turn a filter on to view popular saved locations that are represented by different colors based on how many people have saved them. You could learn the popular places at a state park and go there without having to do tons of research! Keep adding on to this, you’ve got something good here.

Every one can use this. This app and technology are too cool and too important to not know about. I went on a new hike today and it was not in an area easy to give directions.. I arrived first and shared my three words with friends. They found me easily. Also have used it when I park my car in an unfamiliar location. Going bike riding , I send my husband the exact spot to bring a picnic when he is traveling by car. I love this app.

Sounds like a good idea. I’ve read and heard so many stories of people getting lost hiking, or being injured with terrible outcomes. Having a power source too sounds critical. So I will upgrade my remote charging options, to always have some back up charging devices. I’ve subscribed. K. Krahl

Great app with a big flaw. I love the idea of this app and they have done well implementing it. HOWEVER, it is useless without cellular data (which I suspect is the case in many, if not most, areas that do not have street addresses). I tried using the app in several national parks ( which have spotty or no cell service) over the last couple of weeks. The app ‘works’, giving a 3 word address based on the GPS but there is no map. It sorely needs downloadable maps similar to the way the HERE WeGo app works.

Everyone should use this, especially realtors!. Have you ever looked at a real estate listing, especially for rural land, to find the address vague? No matter how hard you try, you can’t find the property using an online map. How great would it be if realtors used this app to locate the entrance to the property so precisely! I have recommended this app to so many people for so many reasons, not the least, 911 call centers! Download it today! You will not be disappointed.

Very accurate. Learned about this app from a Airbnb in the Cotswolds, UK where there are no addresses per se. They used this app to locate the entrance to their place as well as to locate a suitable parking location if there weren’t any available near their place. I ended up using what3words to get a spot’s coordinates then use those in Google Maps to navigate. Works great!!!

Can’t get it to work and no instructions. I installed it on iPhone because of a local news story that local 911 is using it. I can’t get it to work. There are no instructions. It asked me to pick a language, and then I get a blank white screen that says What Three Words. In perfect English. If it isn’t actually supposed to do anything for me it hardly tells me that since there ARE no instructions. What idiots. I sure can’t give 911 3 words if it doesn’t give them to me. ////////////////////////:///// I followed link from news article to what 3 words web site and got a screen that said click on search bar to get three words, unclear which space they mean, I clicked all over the page and nothing happened. /////////////////////////// My guess is this app run by high tech engineers who can’t think and don’t care. Developer any response that doesn’t include a link to the instruction page will be nonresponsive. That’s instructions not a video demoing how blocks on a map correspond to 3 words. You need to grow heads.

Critically Important App. I just told my family members to download and install what3words. Everybody should have it. This app can save lives. Don't get stuck in a situation where you can't communicate your exact location except in the most circumstantial fashion, by numerical coordinates, or by saying what you see around you, or by walking to find the mile marker while other drivers are zooming by at 65mph. What if you are trapped in earthquake debris, or are on a rooftop in a flood, or have lost your way walking in the Pine Barrens like Paulie and Chris in The Sopranos, or had a bad fall while hiking? Three words is all it takes for people to locate you with a precision of a 3x3m square.

Really bad gimmick. This system is a disaster: taking in account different accents, tourist and visitors from other countries, using their native language in the app. If you have to spell the words in an emergency, they are far to long. Most people don’t know how to spell accurately The list goes on and on …. This app is actually very dangerous. Ther are alread several great emergency apps that can send exact coordinates by text and email without the confusion What3Words would bring! Please do a little research on Google before you use this app.

If only…. This app and the power of it to precisely direct someone somewhere is phenomenal. IF ONLY EVERYONE USED IT! My hitch is having to get people to download to use it. Ugh. I’m a Realtor based in Palm Springs, CA. Physical address are great, but not when it’s a condo within a complex that convoluted. If more agents used this app, life would be a so much easier.

Who the heck would add something like this?!. If you feel like something strange is going on in your home or common surroundings, check out this app, it’s the creepiest, rapiest app I’ve ever seen. Gives information about your home and life to the worst people!! I added this because I was curious after seeing all these random apps directed towards my life, I instantly noticed why all these crazy creepy things were happening and my home was even broken into numerous times. NEVER HAVE I EVER BEEN SO DISGUSTED W AN APP IN MY LIFE! I’m still trying to get my life together, this gives hints and pointers and access to people all over the place about you and the people in your home and even pin points different areas of your home! This app is dangerous and should be taken down!

This is amazing. I always think when are we going to have an application that preciously show a location or allow us to share our location when we do not know or it does not have a door no or street name, here it is !!! Great work :)

Nice app with potential to be explored. It works as advertised- far easier to remember words than numbers. New / effort reducing usage will appear when adopting accelerates. It is already integrated with google maps for navigation . Wish early adopters could choose words

I could have…but didn’t know about it.. I have just downloaded this app. But I’m writing too say, I need this just 2 weeks ago. I had been visiting a friend who lived in mountains of Northern New Mexico. Only 30-40 minutes from the state’s largest city. But it’s off the grid. I ran into engine trouble on my return home. This stranded me in 18°F weather I was not prepared for. Along a busy road used primarily by long haul truckers moving very fast. I was stalled on the white line of the shoulder. And very much afraid. I had no heat that working and used my battery up with warning lights. My road side assistance could not locate me. I couldn’t reach anyone I knew it was just after 11:00pm. I froze and was afraid till I was rescued by a towing company owner who was almost 2 hours away. Who cared to do whatever it would take to find and help someone didn’t know. I was traumatized by this event. I was also blessed that he cared. If I had installed this app it would have been easier to be found and it would not have taken 11 hours. Cold and afraid with nothing to eat or drink. I have this app now and I to never use it. But I feel better prepared should I need to. Thank you for helping ease the burden of my experience. It’s nicest thing next to being rescued that anyone could do for me. I recommend this app for everyone!

OMG!!! Great app. I’ll tell you one thing, get this app on a stand-alone GPS device and you’ll put TomTom and Garmin out of business. I’m going to try this app on my iPad mini 2 for my part time job driving for Uber. I think this is not only the coolest idea but if it works out for my part time work with Uber and Lyft I’ll buy a new bigger iPad for 1 and I’ll tell all my friends and family to get this for 2. Thanks for the great app

Fun toy, mostly worthless. Requires robust internet connection. No pattern to the words - is ‘robust,internet, connection’ nearby, or far away? Is it even valid? If you receive a 3 word location, and it isn’t valid, what’s the problem - spelling or a misunderstood word, or even 2 misunderstood words? Requires secondary app to get directions - not a show stopper, but a pain to switch. A solution in search of a problem already solved better by LAT/LONG. Sure, you could say nobody knows their LAT/LONG off the top of their head, but you can find it on a paper map. 3 words needs an electronic device and a connection.

Impressed, awestruck actually. I am so impressed with the depth of thought and the utter simplicity of this app. I would love to meet the creators and ask about their spirituality. Only by meditating and brainstorming would this have ever been possible. Triangulation has been around for centuries. This is space chess triangulation!!

All you need is the “network effect”. Thing is: this is such a great idea. Extremely well thought out, in spite of some comments of people who don’t get it. But I hope this can gradually gather steam (you really need some publicity!), as the most serious problem is that people who tend to understand *why* this is a good idea don’t need it as much as those who don’t know how hard it is to locate a place and communicate that accurately. As more and more people use it, however, hopefully the network effect will amplify its relevance. My brother drives for Lyft, and really wishes they used it.

Brilliant. Just absolutely brilliant as sometimes people sends you a location but they are nowhere to be seen, now thanks to this app there is no stone that has been left unturned without you actually having to turn those stones as they have done it for you. Trustworthy and reliable. NICELY DONE

Interesting Idea - But Not Sold On The Necessity. The concept sounds interesting, but I’m not sure how this is more useful than other apps already on your phone. You open the app and are presented with three words that identify where you’re standing. You then send or otherwise communicate those words to someone else who enters them into their copy of the app, ‘pointing’ to where you are on a map. In order to get someone to you though, the lat/lon coordinates or address needs to be sent to another mapping app for navigation directions. Consider that I Can tap-hold on the included map with my phone, then hit the ‘share’ icon and text, email, etc the precise location - which can then be tapped by the recipient to show my precise location on a map and/or satellite image, with navigation options. Seems faster to me. W3W seems like a linguistic way to point to a spot on a map - but with modern smart phones, which are needed for this app anyway, you can point to that spot with your finger so … why?

DOWNLOAD IT FIRST IN YOUR FAM!. Seriously, go download it already, tell the family and friend to do it too. This is going to change how we deal with the world forever. AND ITS FUN, the word combos can just sound plain silly, I just go on sometimes and click the squares around where I am and always get a good laugh or 2. NONE of the words are profanity or inappropriate, just common everyday words in a sometimes funny 3word combination. IT ONLY WORKS if we all use it and will be the location pinpoint overhaul the delivery industry has needed since GPS&CPUs changed everything. Why are you still reading, go tell it on the mountain!!!

Needs improvements. This is a very good idea and concept. The app though needs some improvements: 1) A way to actually copy the three words without all the extra text copied with it. Maybe this is in the settings maybe this is a separate ‘copy’ selection. 2) A way to pronounce the three words. Yes there’s a microphone to listen for input but there is no output. 3) selecting neighboring squares around your Geo location is very clunky. The app should have accessed all of the neighboring square data. It should be much quicker than it is. 4) when absolute precision is not necessary, it would be great to have a list of the three words surrounding you. That way it would be easy to find an easy, pronounceable, & fun three word combination. This would be useful for finding a word selection for your house or business when it is acceptable to be off a little bit.

Love this app as a hiker. Often, there is no address for hikes and so this is a great app to track all of the trails that I love. And also great to direct my friends to meet me there. However. I seem to have hit a limit on the number of places that I can save. I would like to have more ability to save more locations. Thanks!

Your Location in Seconds. It’s amazing the way the system works I just click with my finger on the phone and immediately gave me the three words for my exact location this generates a immense benefit for all human beings to feel safe that will be located in case of getting lost or accident

The best location app ever!. How many of you have relied on your GPS to send you to a venue or an event only to find that you’ve ended up in a cornfield opposite where you should’ve been. Well this app solves that problem not only for locating an event or a place you may want to go, but more importantly if you’re lost on a hike or simply lost anywhere, this app will tell authorities exactly where you are and also notify those folks that you put in the app of your location. A fantastic idea now brought to the world for free! Don’t be caught without it.

No more maps. What an interesting innovation. Congratulations to the team. With ever changing roads and developments, finally an app that will not have to change. More ever this will solve several issues associated with traditional map which normally defined by a street address and stop at the street level.

Great product poor marketing. What3words is a great product, super helpful in many situations but, this will not save your life in the wrong situation. If you are in the middle of the Moab dessert or some other remote location that doesn’t have data services then it’s useless. The marketing claims it will safe your life, but only in the right conditions. Do you have data or voice service, great, you can tell someone, but if you have mobile and data service, then your Google maps works, and you walking directions work and you 911 works. This app is great for non-emergency situations to a point. I think it’s greatest potential is for deliveries, I want my DoorDash delivered to me on the beach where there is no address. That would be great. But stuck somewhere with no data or voice, this app is useless… in these instances, Spot or some other pocket sat com system is the only real option.

Question to the developer. I’m been long searching for an app that routes me back to my home when I’m stuck somewhere while walking/hiking/running. The other day I was running and lost my way while going back home. Had to use Apple Maps app on my iPhone to track back home. Will your watch app allow me tell or choose from my favorites and reroute me to my home from where I’m? Also, I wanted to connect this step as part of my workout activity. If these two features are available, I’m sold. For example, Garmin Forerunner 965 does this. Appreciate your input.

Haven’t had to use it yet, but it’s great family safety. I really like this app. I haven’t had to use it yet, but I believe it is the most worthwhile app on my iPhone. They have location dialed in. My son and his girlfriend just rented a place in Jefferson,NC and apparently it’s so far out the trash truck doesn’t go out that far. And they tell me it’s pitch dark at night. That got me thinking what if you need police or fire. Would they be able to find him. I’m hoping this app will do the trick. Something is better than nothing.

Another “disruptive” technology. An immensely important app that everyone should download. This has the capability of being another “disruptive,” game-changing technology. This simplifies a desired address to a 3x3 meter square. This could improve navigation for regular commuting, ride sharing, delivery services, search and rescue.... The possibilities are endless. My only recommendation to the developers would be to allow the app to access your Contacts List to search those addresses for their 3 words. Otherwise, wonderful work! Kudos!

So Many uses. This app is wonderful. I wish more first responders and the public alike would use it. I have found it useful for locating lost items, specific addresses, and I use it as a password creator. It is fun to put in 3 random words and see where it takes you. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for an adventure and to step “outside your box” and into a 3x3 meter box. AWESOME!!!

Simple and Accurate. The best app for requesting emergency response when off the beaten path or in a large crowd or big city. A must have for camping and exploring areas unknown and known. This app could potentially save someone’s life by getting a first responder there with no time wasted. It also works great for parents and children or friends trying to find each other. It doesn’t drain your battery by constantly running in the background either. Well made application.

Still useless, only map app that only runs in Portrait mode. Seriously, how hard can it be to make What3Words run in Landscape mode? This is coding 101 stuff, but apparently not for this app. A Map app that doesn’t rotate is not a map app at all. I have a 12.9” iPad Pro with attached keyboard that I normally use in Landscape mode. Since the app only runs in Portrait mode, I either have to use it sideways with my head tilted 90% left (causing great pain), or unplug my keyboard, physically rotate the screen to Portrait mode, and replug/re-rotate when done, no thanks! If it ran in Landscape mode would be a great app, really - how hard can that be??? Please recognize that some of us run apps in Landscape mode, as this app is truly painful for iPad with keyboard

On Point. This app is Amazing, it only takes 3 minute to install , it’s easy to use and 100 % accurate. Everyone must get this app it could save your life and the life of your love ones. I’m going to share it with all of my friends and family. Thank you

Great way to find the driveway of a rural winery. Google maps’ location pins and Siri Directions often don’t know exactly where a driveway entrance is located. Both have been off by 1/10 of a mile or more. It’s not a simple task to turn a tour bus around on a narrow country road, so 3 Words may just prove to be invaluable in my line of work.

Excellent service!. I have not had the “what3words” service for more than a month. I have a situation on a busy thoroughfare and needed to call for a towing service. Because of “what3words” the towing service provider was able to pinpoint my location without my having to risk exiting my vehicle in the middle of ongoing traffic.

Not bad but not disability friendly. I like the idea of this app but did noticed a couple of problems. My husband is blind and when the bus lets him off at the wrong spot I need to know where to go pick him up. While the words themselves work with voiceover the map does not. It provides no fees back at all beyond error beeps. The next problem is I clicked my location 3 or 4 times and it gave me different locations each time, one time it even showed me in my neighbors kitchen. Not overly accurate if you ask me. If I am waiting for the emergency responders and it shows me 15 squares from where I am it could be troublesome I really like the idea of this app and I will update as I play with it

Location finding is not reliable. The concept of this app is fantastic! Every 9 square meter area of the planet has a unique three word combination. Very useful to find precise locations, EXCEPT.... it can never quite find me. It’s the only map-related app I’ve used that keeps bouncing around to try and find me. I don’t know why this problem exists. Until it’s fixed, I have to find my desired location on the map myself and choose it. I can’t rely on the app to do it. So until then, three stars.

Great location fonder. A great app to install on your phone. It will locate you within 10 feet. If your phone is on and you were in an accident, it can be used to find you. Also, you can use it with “find my iPhone“ or “find my iPad“ if you have lost it someplace. Easy to use. Highly recommended.

Travel woes. A year or two ago I was in Costa Rica looking for an Airbnb I had booked in a super sketchy neighborhood. Everyone had tall gates and walls around their houses. The directions had an address and “ we are the house with a pink door and a tall flag pole. I drove around that super sketch neighborhood for almost an hour before saying screw this and going to a hotel. What 3 words could have saved me $$ and a lot of headache I love the concept.

Exact location. This app pinpoints exact locations. One drawback is that its maps are waaay out of date. I’ve had horses for years, but app map is pre-horses. Also, both our driveways have been blacktopped for years, yet map shows gravel drives, one drive which is no longer even there! I’d give this app 5 stars and gladly pay for it if it had updated maps, and kept them up to date.

What three words. Chris is a very intelligent man. So proud of him for coming up with this technology. I was an EMT. Everyone with the technology to support this should download it right away. I am very impressed. I’m going to tell my whole family about this and ask them to download it. I will worry so much less having this app and knowing that my kids have access to this. Chris should be a household name. Your the coolest in my book. Thank you for your thoughtfulness.

Phone app is great, watch app could be too. The phone app is awesome. So useful for many things like food delivery to apartment complexes, meeting friends when no address is available, boat and hiking navigation, locating a parked car and so much more. The Apple Watch app could be amazing with a few tweaks. Currently it’s possible to save a location using the watch but there is no way to view the saved location list. Relying solely on voice search can be cumbersome as so many words sound similar and background noise can be a problem. It would be so useful to have a “saved list” on the watch to pick from. Folders would help with organizing locations. Going out for a hike, urban exploration or jet ski ride with a list of locations, added to favorites in advance on a phone or tablet would be great. The compass navigation would be so handy on the watch. Especially without a phone. A few tweaks on “compass mode” would make a big difference. The heading could be more bold and pronounced to make it easier to see at a glance. Also the distance needs to be bigger and bolder so it’s easy to see at a glance. Currently it shows the destination in bold print in the center of the compass. That isn’t very useful while actively navigating. I would rather have to tap or long press to confirm or change the destination. Overall this is a very useful app. I hope they make a few changes to the watch app and make it as awesome as the phone app.

Wandering Folks Located. I saw this app demonstrated on CBS News and found it to be the perfect thing for finding folks who wander around when on outings (or for those who are “directionally challenged”). The senior citizen that I am, I’ve always been great with locations and directions, but my comrades - not so much. Now to get them onboard and have them load this app!

Great app. Just needs some tweaking, ie finger print and photo recognition to login

Much easier than coordinates. A brilliant app which allows the pin-pointing of a location. Use it to identify where you are at a concert, when camping or even to have items delivered. So simple even youngsters can use it. So accurate that it can easily be used to locate lost or injured people or broken down vehicles. A real winner!

What3Words Review. It is amazing. I was told about it by a close friend. It is so easy to operate. Thanks John Barnett.

Elegant, simple, clever, useful. What a great system. Congratulations on the concept and making it a reality. Not sure how it works for other cultures/alphabets/characters

Manie. Very accurate. I can now see why this app is an app everyone should have. No one knows when they will need it. Well done. Will save lives.

Getting friends to fallow.. I’m always telling friends that the best location Finder is What 3 Words. Is it working for them ? I don’t know and always forget to ask them again. I must admit that we’re very happy with the app

Great safety tool. Very accurate

A...MAZ...ING!!!. Learn to use this amazing app in about 10 seconds. It may be the most useful app you will ever download.

Needs landscape mode. The lack of landscape mode is a major problem for two reasons: a) some people may wish to use this on an iPad; and b) it is often more convenient to view a map in landscape mode.

Outstanding concept !. Still reeling at the possibilities of this, please send me share option form !!

So easy. Type in business name or street Unlike using a.G P S were accurate address is required which takes time but this is super quick as volunteer we use latitude and longtitude addresses to me will be more accurate especially searching open waters at night as long as we are given the correct set of digits

New location. Great

The future. This will be the way all Mail is delivered

Brilliant idea. Now way possible to remember those coordinates, using a 3 word address with integration with google maps is a elegant easy to use alternative. ....and I can sign on using Apple security

Simplicity plus. Innovation, quirky and fun. Importantly, almost as pinpoint accurate as GPS coordinates, but simpler and easier.

Used to direct ambulance to injured rider. Today we used W3W to direct the emergency services to a location in the bush here in Queensland. So simple and unmistakable. Brilliant product.

A good & simple way to address things. GPS co-ordinates and map grid references can be confusing and difficult to remember/transcribe at the best of times, and this is where what3words comes to the fore - it has a simple 3-word address for every 3m X 3m square on the earth’s surface. 3-word addresses will never replace GPS co-ordinates or map grid references - they are not designed to. But they are designed to provide a simple addressing system for places that can’t be easily addressed by existing systems, such as: Where to meet your friends when going to a football match or picnic in the park, Which track to turn at when walking or 4WDing in the bush, Where emergency services can find you when you injure yourself on the beach. You can also have fun with the app by setting up treasure hunts, car rallies, etc.

Brilliant. I love how this app saves me time and the frustration of locating places with ease.

Excellent. Easy to use

Love the What3words Compass. Well done. Wish this w3w compass had been available earlier. Would have saved me getting lost using maps overseas

So useful. So helpful! I use it all the time and share frequently thanks for a brilliant idea and use of technology

Home Location. The Best Arial View of My Home !

Such a great idea, an emergency locator for the layperson. This is such a good idea that emergency Plus app in Australia has incorporated it in its app. To think that this is implemented across the globe is just mind boggling. Well done guys for thinking of such an easy way to locate the precise position of someone.

Acceptance. I hope the emergency services in Australia come on board with this brilliant app.

Super fantastic. Such a great idea. I wish more people used this app

words for the world. I love living in so many words. Mimi

Great App. Brilliant idea… showed a friend of mine who was determined to prove google maps was better and I was able to convince him that this was more user friendly and he changed over to this…. Shared with all my contacts ….

Sharon. So much potential. Amazing concept to change the lives of so many, to give them what a lot of us take for granted, an address and what that can deliver.

Great way to tell people your location. Great way to tell people your location

Wow. What a great concept works amazing. Able to now pinpoint a location in the middle of field in simple language if needed. Thanks fir dreaming this up and rolling it out. Game changer term us overused but not this timr

Lost in a park. Wow, could not find group in very large park, used this product and went straight to them. 👍

Fulfils a need I didn’t know I had... I read an article on what3words in yesterday’s Melbourne Age - so I thought I’d look at the website, and discovered the App. It’s absolutely brilliant. Last year I fell and fractured my hip after tripping on a path in bush land, and I found it difficult to explain to the phone operator where to send the ambulance. If I’d had it last year, it would have been much easier - the App automatically installed on my Apple Watch after I’d installed it on my iPhone, so if I have another fall (touch wood), I’ll be able to get help much more quickly. I’m thinking of other uses for a very good App.

New app. Wait until I have used it

Way to go in Central Australia’s Outback!. Most good things are simple yet elegant

Amazing.. A game changer. Needs a greater take up by Australian businesses and services, but that will come.

What a brilliant idea. The journey continues I can know the path obscured by mystical unique three words. I can tell you where my course is——->

Remote location finder. If stuck at the side of a long backcountry track. This is how you can simply get help to your exact location.

Tutorial completely useless. Tutorial completely useless for someone who knows a 3 word address and wants to go there. Application provides no assistance as to how use the 3 words to find an address. Remarkable!!

what3words is AMAZING!. This is the best innovation in addressing and location accuracy ever! I love it ♥️ Navigate “down to the spot”, not the “near enough” you get from traditional addresses. Highly recommended. Also try the 3WordPhoto App; it is awesome!

My input observations. The squares to accept Privacy and T&Cs were very pale when viewed on iPhone Otherwise all good David

Best Maps App. Love using ‘What3Words’ it’s a unique app with amazing accuracy, this will be the go to app in the future and used worldwide 👍

It seems like a good idea.. Most suitable for remote areas.

Great app. The three words need to be bigger though.

A great idea for pinpointing locations. Very helpful for pinpointing a spot in a remote location, or somewhere in the suburbs that’s missing a precise detail. Great fun

Amazing. I have only just started here, it is incredible!

Best thing since sliced bread. So simple to use and SO many ways to use it. “Meet me here” means you can’t miss each other. Getting stuff delivered to EXACTLY where you need it and not the other side of the house (shifting a tonne of sand is no joke). I can’t wait for drone deliveries to the exact spot in the back yard (and not in the pool!). Simply the best thing ever.

Brilliant navigation app. Brilliant navigation app: perfect for global navigation in 50 languages.

Home 🤗. Truly a great “Locator” App, and I will recommend it to family and friends. Everybody git’s lost sometimes and somewhere …… if you are in strife, for any reason, this can be a life saver. 🤗🤗🤗

Genius. This changes everything

Download language does not work. Any language download will just stuck with 0 byte… well i guess im stuck with UK English for now

Missing ability to tag images.. Great that we can add /// to photos but ideally allow upload to gallery associate tags with the images. People can then flag landmarks and useful information.

Funny names for places!. This app is so fun! Like with the Book Master of All Masters, this app creates hilarious names for every place on Earth! As a visual thinker, I think of these as funny images and characters.

Super Amazing, Wish it was Apple Watch Compatible. The uses for this app are limitless and I’ve already read so many stories where this app has saved lives. My only suggestion/ request is that it becomes Apple Watch compatible! This could be so helpful!

Dangerous and misleading - DO NOT USE. Disappointing to read that you mislead people by claiming your app is endorsed by a well respected rescue organisation. You use unauthorised photos as well. Based on this deceit, I will discourage anyone from using this app.

Lost. This is amazing

Helpful App. It takes you places

Saved me. This app is amazing and is incredibly easy to use. Today my wife called me saying she was on the side of the road and that the car was smoking. Once I made sure she had pulled over and that she and our child were out of the car (and that the car was not on fire), I asked her where she was. She wasn’t sure. I then remembered that we had just downloaded this app (but had never used it before). All I had to say was, “Send me your What3words then hangup and call CAA for a tow-truck - I’m on my way.” Having never used the app and despite being flustered and not the most tech-savvy person, my wife sent me a message (it’s integrated into the app), which opened on my What3words app and I hit ‘navigate here’ and it popped open in Google Maps (what I like to use). Download this app and have your friends and family download it - you never know when you’ll need it like I did. To the developers: thank you.

App. Will this app be available for androids as well In The future?

100 Adelaide St W - pointing to wrong location. First time to search an address on this app and point to a wrong location, about 3 miles with the correct location. When I complained this inaccuracy to them, they pointed the blamed Google and Apple maps as these are their sources for geocode and told me they can’t do anything. Wow, you are blaming other companies while they don’t share profits to your app. Why not coordinate with them to correct the issue instead instead of putting the blame to them. Did Google and Apple maps ask this company to use them? Or do you even have license to use these companies in your app? Update: Why should I be the one to contact your sources? I am not the developer of this app. Besides, this address is CORRECT when I search in Google and Apple maps.

God damn genius. I don’t usually leave reviews... but holy!!!! This is so unique and fascinating and so simple at the same time!! Ahhh!!!

Super duper. Great to use.

What3words. This App, once shared with family, relatives, friends and more will easily allow you to find yourselves due to it’s precise location abilities.

what3words. Très utile pour la marche en forêt, pour placer des jalons dans le parcours et les retrouver aisément par la suite.

Anup’s Review.. Brilliant. Everyone should use it. It has totally changed the way I navigate.

Difficulty signing up. The T&C check box is rather faint to see. Took awhile before I saw it.

WOW, it’s simple and amazing!. I just saw this in a rescue story on my local news and went right onto the App Store to get it. I just tried it out and am amazed what it does and how simple of an idea it is, but of course I never would of thought about it. This may literally save my life one day. So I’m goi g to tell everyone about it. They said that you don’t need cellular to use it. So that could of been helpful when Rogers was down the other day. Thanks to the creator’s of this!

Cool. Mysterious

What 3 words. Really great app

Brilliant. Love the logic - 3 words what more do you need?

Terry’S first effort. Very impressive satellite picture

Excellent Tool. If you work in agriculture you need to have this app! My coworkers and I send what three word codes If we need to get accurate directions to a field location for trials, scouting, or meeting places. The most accurate gps app I have used to date. Highly recommend!!!

Is this no good for english speaking canadian. It does not have a option for english canada only usa and if u want canada it says french wth

So simple. This really is a god send as I’m starting to loose my way getting confused and lost sometimes. 53 and not getting younger this really is simple to setup (5 minutes) and really easy to use.

Richfield st patricks catholic church. 1860s bell. Mcbride bc St patricks church Its got different date than mcbrides so called exestance Mcbride was called richfield till a fire ripped thru the trench It does not have the same dates as the records Of mcbride or the catholic church Pitt lake can be seen from the steeple

Why? Just why?. If you have a phone to use this app, you can use the GPS to find your coordinate that will be understood by EVERYBODY without using a stupid app! And GPS will work when those server will be down

My3Words, Phenomenal!. Absolutely incredible. I’m sure it will save lives, loves and lost pets. I would love be to see it do live, real-time tracking. Will never get lost again. The applications for this new service, technology will only continue to find new applications in the betterment of humankind’s living and experiences. What’s next? The moon...Mars? Maybe the oceans depths. Time will tell. Tick, tick, tick. Greatly appreciated.

What3words. Don’t understand a thing about this app.

work.work.work. Leads to a graveyard. LOL

Amazing. Google and apple maps never showed my house. Everyone always got lost and ended up in some place that wasn’t anywhere near. This app makes it so much easier to find, I love it, brillant idea and app.

Why is the app so big?. Why is it 124 MB? It literally just shows a map and some words on the screen. This app should be all of 30MB. Why is this app so bloated? It seems like a waste of space on my device for an app I only ever use once in a blue moon. Please work to reduce the app size and remove unnecessary SDKs, etc.

Really cool idea! Not Worth It Right Now. This app is super impractical and kind of a waste of time. Why would I open an app that simply redirects me to google maps or apple maps? Why not just open Apple maps or Google maps first? Maybe try incorporating this tech into google maps or a friend finder app? I Imagine myself using this to find someone in a crowded place. For example it would be useful when locating a friend at a festival or a date at a busy park. Since this app decides space by a 3 meter radius and Google maps and Apple maps are accurate within a 5 m radius. This app is technically more accurate which would be helpful in crowded places and could be used to locate people with more accuracy. I’m not saying don’t use this app. I just don’t have use for it as of right now and see no point in opening an app that’s simply going to redirect me to another app for directions somewhere.

So cool!. This is the coolest app I’ve ever seen!

Use. Great app

Not well explained. Just downloaded this and it seems like a good idea but how it works is not well explained. Maybe too many programmers and not enough input from common sense.

This will save lives!!!. Why is our useless government not standardizing this?!?!?!? This app will save lives! Lets get the word out there people!!!!

I might need. I might need that just in case and I like hiking alone. Hopefully I may never need that, but you never know. Thanks for the program.

///closed.standard.scheme (sorry Yukon). Think these three words before sharing any social connections with the app as they will push you hard. stop trying to make it happen *outside of M25* Gretchen — it’s not going to happen

First use. So far this is very intriguing. It could be a lot of fun as well as very useful.

Fun. Something fun to do with my friends… cause we enjoy games like geofinder this is a fun and free alternative

An Excellent App. Excellent ! Amazing accuracy and far better than looking up an address on a map. What.3.Words can take you right to your destination’s door.

Precision. My ice shack is in the middle chunk of a huge lake. The weather can kick up any time, leaving little margin for error. Friends can travel from any direction and arrive safely and precisely on their first transit. The comfort of knowing a location gives me confidence in the oft-times austere outdoor environment. JPB

TuxedotylerHavoc —/: React / r / blockchains —NFTs — what3. -words. This is awesome! This is Great! What3words changes the world. Find anything or anyone and have.m A code. — react R Tuxedo0–/

Easy and Accurate. Amazingly usefully in giving some one your exact location .. WhatsApp is similar.

Police rescue. My wife and I were in a tough spot in rough terrain and needed help this summer. We called 911 and the responding officer directed me to the what3words website. I sent him the three words and they came through thick bush up a mountain straight to us. They say 90% of their rescues are resolved by using the app. I can’t recommend it enough.

What three words. Very easy for anyone to use!

It works!. Easy to install. It does tell you exactly where you are!

Great but could use widget dark mode. I love the technology and want to see it grow and develop into a universal standard. It might help if a little more attention was made to the UX. Allow dark mode for the widgets so that it can be integrated more aesthetically on the users app pages. Add features that make it more fun to play with the tech, maybe gamefy a part of it. Onwards and upwards for What3Words!

A review. Nice app bro

Wrong address. My address is incorrect. Do you use google maps? Drivers using it have gone to the wrong using it.

Adsterra is the most preferred ad network for those looking for an alternative to AdSense. Adsterra is the ideal choice for new sites with low daily traffic. In order to advertise on the site in Adsterra, like other ad networks, a certain traffic limit, domain age, etc. is required. There are no strict rules. Sign up!

Your entire family needs this. This app saved the life of a couple In fog in rising waters it’s how I found out about it. They went right to them.

Crashed my iPhone and then Froze it. It took lots of work to restore my phone just to come back here to post this. I haven’t even had a chance to check my files and apps. Your app however, once downloaded immediately crashed repeatedly and on the third time, locked up my iPhone, which I use for my business. Until you correct this, it shouldn’t be available to download.

A New Way To Navigate. Amazing new application of existing technology. I found it interesting and easy to use. Only time will tell if it catches on and becomes all that it can be. Great app. Very cool stuff.

Amazing the billion-dollar companies never did this. Just goes to show you that if it doesn’t make them money, they aren’t interested. This app is a MUST-Have.

So easy. It is the fastest way I know of to give a specific location to anyone, on any platform. Everyone should have this on their device, and be able to help family members download it onto theirs so that they can be found in case of emergency, or just a social meet up. So easy to use.

Three word ap. The weird thing is my house was built 31/2 to 4 years ago. When I put my location in it show a field with no house. So that needs to be updated more often.

Great tool for finding specific spots. I was always answering my phone for deliveries since my address is a bit complicated. With what3words, I don’t have to worry about my deliveries and answering my phone anymore. 😊

Best App I have tried all year.. Very clever. Very simple concept. Very useful. I think this is an idea like gps, where we haven’t determined all of the applications just yet.

Incredible App. The what3words is a testament to its designers ingenuity and patience. To be able to locate any object or destination with greater precision than GPS is miraculous. My congratulations and gratitude to the designers for this potentially life saving tool. SEM

Great for the average person. Ham radio operators have be using grid Square coordinates or Maidenhead coordinates to report their location for years because it is much easier than latitude and longitude. It is nice that somebody has taken this idea and made it even easier for the average person to use.

Me And My Family Have Downloaded It. Me And My Family Have Downloaded It , And It Helps Out Most Of The Times , whenever we don’t know the Name Of a street , We Just Click on a Block , and we know where they are. SUPER HELPFUL 10/10 ⭐️🤩

Useful app. Very useful and helpful app, though I do wish it would have the option to stay on- I use it while driving to report potholes and find I have to keep touching the screen often to keep the phone from going into lock mode.

Looks Awesome. Cannot create account.. This looks awesome. My family regularly goes up to the Sierras and I will keep this in my back pocket. But, it’s going to be really hard to use if I can’t make an account with any of the SSO providers offered. When I attempt to make an account, despite it being SSO, it fails with the error “All Fields Required” - every visible field had data in it. I will gladly amend this if I can ever get in.

Confidence. kowning my location during times when it is absolutly is very important. Under conditions where life and line are threathed.

New to this app. I travel alone across state lines and even throughout my home state. I hope I never have to use this app, but it is comforting to know I have it in case I do ever need it.

Wow!. This is remarkable! It’s so accurate! I have no idea how you did it but you did a splendid job. Everyone should have this app. I heard about it on the news this morning and glad to have it

Huge leap forward for safety. Imagine being able to describe exactly where you are, anywhere you are, to emergency services by saying 3 words. For instance, if you’re in the middle of the woods, or in an unfamiliar place. It’s an amazingly simple and powerful tool. Every parent should have it, and every emergency service should integrate with it.

Lost? Again?. This is great! I travel a lot by myself and I often tend to get turned around. Knowing I have this app available will ease my mind in case I get lost.

Asking for a review before I even use it?. How can I give a accurate review when all I’ve done is set it up I don’t even understand to yet?

Great concept, but …. My wish list includes being able to select a saved location on the Watch app. Also a little more work should have been done to eliminate rude word combinations. But I like the concept. Great for pick up people at an airport.

Creative, Innovative, & Amazing. This app is amazing! I can find any 3x3 Meyer square in the world and allow others to find it as well. It's easy to use and is even fun to see the addresses of places you frequent. Overall, I love it so much.

Cool idea, evil company. Cool idea! Unfortunately, this company is pretty terrible. A security researcher noticed that extremely similar phrases were very close together (few km or miles). The company said that should be extremely rare, but that is incorrect. Now the company is going after and attacking the security researcher. I wouldn’t recommend this app to anyone because of the poor business practices of this company.

Absolutely Needed; pre-installed on every phone. Just the way we needed when everything is distracting US and all we wanted to know was our exact GPS location: these 3 words will! A must have!

So useful. I run a summer tour group and use What Three Words all day, every day, all summer. Brilliant system, very easy to use app, and it interfaces with your directions-getting maps apps perfectly. I wouldn’t leave the house without it!

Languages. This is a great idea! The problem that I ran into is that once you install one language, the app doesn’t recognize others. I use it in English, but let’s say someone uses it in Russia and sends me a Russian 3-word address because that’s the language that they use the app in. It won’t recognize is.

Will it really work?. I gave it a three star review for clever concept and ease of installation. But will it really work in an emergency situation? Will the cops/firefighters be able to find me? Are ALL emergency responders on line? Will it sync with the fall-detector on the Apple Watch? Lots of questions; few answers. At this time it’s vaporware.

Very impressed. Looking forward to see what this app can really do I’m intrigued hoping that it will be the next Waze better than Apple Maps better than Google maps

Thank you to the person that came up with this idea!!!. I just got this app but I have read about how it has saved peoples lives!! I think this is a wonderful idea. God Bless the person that came up with this idea.

What? Only 3 words?. Yes! Who has such an idea?! Just the concept, never mind the algorithm and mapping and putting in place the (permanent) 3-word addresses for every 10-foot square on the planet! This is truly an idea suited to such words as “boggled,” and “mind blowing.” 🤯Get It! Then I dare you to get lost😠!

I just used it to give 911 the location of a car accident. I couldn’t see the nearest cross street, so I asked if I could give the What3words location, and dispatch said yes. Huge help.

Outstanding!. Not only is the math fun and cool the concept is fabulous! We’ve not only had great success navigating with it, but we’ve had a blast just playing with it! Great way to get kids interested in orienteering and navigation too!

The Future of navigation is here!. The concept is brilliant and the implementation is flawless. I've never had so much fun looking up random places on a map! And the use cases are endless. I'd love a journaling or travel blogging app that used this technology.

Very useful (make a SOS quick button for emergency situations). I love this app. It is very useful in so many ways. I was thinking that a “SOS” button should be incorporated to the app. Say a child gets kidnapped and could quickly send out a location to Pre-determined people in their contact list. Love the app!

Early but…. WOW! This app is probably the best I have downloaded in ages! The uses are all - well - useful. So many times you are in large public areas, and finding friends is a nightmare…. Now 👍👍

Coordinates. Would appreciate the equivalent longitude latitude coordinates for each three word square. Thank you. EDIT/ UPDATE: Thanks for the tip on how to get the numerological coordinates for each Three-Word-Square 🔲! Upgraded my Star ⭐️ Review from three to five 🖐️!! (“Settings 👉 Display Settings 👉 Degrees - etc.”)

Finest location sharing. Can’t believe this hasn’t become THE way for people to congregate. The great equalizer for all people - classless, unerring, creating a flat, geographic location engine that’s far more accurate than anything I’ve encountered.

Very impressed.. Never knew this existed, was very surprised how well it works. Hopefully I’ll never need to use this but if I do I will remember what I need to do. I’m thankful for technology. Thank you

Dictated by a Likable User. I have always loved the idea of 3words, and I have used it with glee sometimes. However, I have been quite saddened with the inability to save locations. Well, hot-freaking-dog! Wait no longer, because my wish has become reality! Thank you for making this app immensely easier to use on a day to day basis.

Brilliant!. What3Words is a genius solution to the challenge of communicating locations. It’s only weakness, if you want to call it that, is the lack of integration with Apple or Google Maps.

Awesome. It’s amazing to be able to save people’s lives. What would make this app even better if it was able to be data free. Just Incase you were somewhere you don’t have a signal. If there was an emergency situation. If you had a satellite phone. You could save anyone world wide.

Exact Location. This app allows the exact location of your loved one when needed for emergencies or where are my kids at.

Potentially Life Saving. I have used this app once, and it gets a 5 star even if I never use again. I am a paramedic, and we were able to locate a injured patient in the woods with ease because of this app.

Works really well for no address outdoor recreation spots. The app is really good. Very helpful finding and saving remote, unmarked, or other hard to find locations. Easy to organize saved locations in specific folders. Highly recommended!

App consistently 2 squares off. Tried this app at home after I downloaded and it consistently showed my location 2 squares off from where I was. Not too far off granted, though it was a little unnerving when I went upstairs and the blue location dot placed me up in a tree in the park next to my house.

W3W the humane way of identifying location. I have been using What3Words for about two years and continue to love it. It is so much easier for the elderly to remember 3 words than trying to memorize two strings of of eight to to ten digits in length.

On Point. This app is Amazing, it only takes 3 minute to install , it’s easy to use and 100 % accurate. Everyone must get this app it could save your life and the life of your love ones. I’m going to share it with all of my friends and family. Thank you

Game changer!. I wish everyone would start using this app! What3words revolutionizes the way we think of locations and finding things. What an awesome idea and the implementation is fantastic. Please give it a try!

This is amazing!. There are certain things that are true game changers. This is one. You can now tell anyone exactly where in the world you are (including EMS) using only three words. Now even your child can know his address by the time they go to kindergarten.

What a great project! What location are you?. This seams to me to be an important app that we should all have. It would be good to know your 3 word location especially when you need it. You need to check this out.

What??. I love the idea of this app; however, I just used “Find my location” on my computer (in my lap) and my phone (in my hand) and came up with 3 different words for the same location, and a location on the map that is a block away. I am inside a bldg, so this might be the problem. But presumably if I am having a heart attack in my bed & need precise location, I’d also be inside.
