what3words Reviews 

Brilliant app - used it when I broke down and wasn’t sure exactly where I was. Everyone needs this!

Excellent app. Saves lives. I think this will take over all things location based

Sie denken sie bekommen mich mit dem Spruch: ungenaue Ortsangaben sind einfach nervig. In Wirklichkeit is die viele Werbung von what3words das einzig nervige.

I only downloaded the app a week before we were having a weeks holiday in Cornwall. Am I glad I did. My husband and I were on a coastal walk from Mousehole to Lamorna Cove when I slipped and broke my right ankle. The emergency services were called, they asked if I had what3words on my phone. I said yes, I pressed the app & 3 words appeared. The words were given to the operator to which they replied we have your location. An air ambulance was with me within 1/2 hour. Thank God for the app as it could have been much longer if they had not got my location.

I keep trying to load app but although I allow it to use my location it places me in Oxford instead of Frome Somerset. Not much use really.

Couldn’t get past agree with the T’s and C’s. Rejected because I had not agreed T’s and C’s so gave up.

Why not use a grid reference? This app is fail to danger and rather futile considering the alternatives, OSLocate for example.

Really happy with this app, the more I use it the more I realise just how useful it is .

The idea would be a good one, except that the developers allowed plurals and verb tenses. This means for example that very simple mistakes can be made. The 3 word address /// hamper.keeps.banana is in China, whereas /// hamper.keeps.bananas is in Australia and ///hamper.keep.banana is in Cyprus. This is just poor development with no forethought.

Great Free App - friend found me quickly in a vast outdoor carpark when I broke down. Delivery drivers love it when trying to find our house. And, in the unfortunate case of an accident, giving a three word location while possibly injured and in shock will be much easier than the alternatives that others are advocating. That is why emergency services and car manufacturers across the world are adopting it.

Fantastic little app.Can help finding all those awkward places for our drivers

Great concept and great app. What3words makes it easy to get someone to a location without a street address (or with a street address that seems almost impossible to find). Just need more services to tie into it.

As someone who discovered w3w,six years ago,early one morning while looking on Twitter because I couldn’t sleep.I have been using it ever since to find places,meet up with people and now use the Satnav as it is by far the most accurate on the market.Whenever I have had a problem with the app they have responded,sometimes instantly,at all times of the day.I think four in the morning takes some beating...I said I have trouble sleeping.Family and friends have been using the app almost as long as myself and the system never lets them down.Apart from being an extremely useful tool it is great fun and as children seem to like the randomness of it....it is also lovely to see a simple free app encouraging children to use words...which with all the other distractions these days is quite a feat.Another great feature of the app is the amount of lives it has saved and will continue to do so.

I started using this about 6mnths ago I love it! I love being able to share my 3 words it jus makes so much sense! Deffo recommend it

What3Words has been useful to me in several ways, even including on my own property. Having known it and used it for several years, I've been pleased to see that an increasing number of emergency services are adopting its use. The person in trouble doesn't even need to have the app installed; just call the emergency number you'd call anyway, and they take it from there!

Easy to use and track down locations such as "where are you on the beach? or "which car park are you in?" We used both these last week whilst on holiday in Cornwall!
I'd recommend giving what3words a try. You'll then wonder how you managed without it on your phone!

I've used what3words since the start. It has more than served its purpose. Fun with treasure hunts with my grandkids, locating friends in places, our walking groips use it constantly.
I cannot recommend it enough. Thankfully I've never had to use it in a critical situation. However I know it's there.

I feel the excellent What3words PR team is doing a disservice to the general public by pushing what3words as an aide to emergency services. Both apple and Android phones have a builtin system to make it exremely easy to send you lat/long to emergency services. Users should be encouraged to set up this system.
In addition, all messageing apps on both Apple and Android make is VERY easy to send your current location (lat/long coordinates) to anyone. It just takes about 2 clicks. I feel this is much better than encouraging people to downlaod the w3w app.
