Can’t use it with Google Maps unless you pay?
I can’t change the default setting for navigation or display from Apple Maps to Google Maps unless I choose to go pro? Seems like an excessive push towards payment to me...
Serving deliberately misleading ads onto the app screen
First time I’ve opened the app in a while and I was served with an ad on the app’s Home Screen disguised as an app button. There’s a tiny ad marker underneath it, but it’s so small that it’s very easily missed. This is clearly a deliberately misleading ad intended to trick people into clicking. If What3Words are going to serve ads like this, then they need to take some responsibility for preventing this sort of thing. Purely on the basis of this, I’m rating as 1 star and deleting the app from my phone.

Profit over emergency considerations
I opened the app and was greeted with two pop ups - one asking to collect private data and another telling me to pay for Pro. It’s disappointing because if you ever needed to open the app in an emergency , it feels like they now care more about making profit off you than being the best tool in a crisis.

Was great, now 25% of screen blocked by google ads.
You sold out to google for their massively intrusive ads. A mapping app needs the screen & your now crippling the user to pay to show the full screen.
‘Bend over & take it or pay’ is a disgusting way to further monetise your product. I hope you go bust.

Not good anymore
Used to be a great app a few years back. Now almost every feature requires the paid version.
