  • 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
  • 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!!

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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
  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
  • 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!

  • 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!!!
