## What is The Location App?

The Location App is a simple application that displays your location on a map, but more importantly, display the actual location data; i.e. GPS coordinates, closest address, What3Words identifier and Google Plus Code. This is a great app for anyone who just needs that type of location information quickly. 

The Location App also lets you tap on your location identifiers to rapidly share the selected location data with anyone using a typical share sheet that includes sharing by text message, email, etc. The recipient taps on the sent link and your location will appear on Google or Apple maps, or in the What3Words App.

You can also use The Location App to search for a specific address, lat/long pair, location name, a specific Plus Code or a What 3 Words code. If the search term is located, pins will be place on the map and you can tap on a pin to get all of the location information for that pin. Optionally, you can then open the item in Apple Maps or Google Maps.

### 5/5 — location

*2022-12-24*

my location is all messed up

**Developer response:** Can you tell me what is messed up about it so I can try to figure out why?

### 5/5 — Cool mapping app

*2021-08-29*

This is a cool app that gives you lots of ways to share your location with other people. Would love to see the app include a way to enter a Plus Code and then show the associated location on the app map and then be able to share that location to other apps on one’s own phone to navigate there, such as, Apple Maps or Google maps.

**Developer response:** Feature request added to latest version. Thanks for the idea.
