No response from app, good idea that doesn't work

VERY HAPPY I DOWNLOADED THIS APP.
EXTREMELY HELPFUL IN EMERGENCIES

Broke down on the motorway, lone hysterical woman phoned the AA for emergency recovery. Customer services asked am I traveling north or south. Yes something I really should have known but I had no idea. gave them the 3 words and 💥 BOOM 🥰 they knew exactly where I was. I recommend all parents to get their families to download this. I laughed when I first heard about it BUT was extremely thankful I had it when needed.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Brilliant little app, I live in a very difficult location to find, sat nav only comes to main entrance half a mile away, this app brings a visitor/delivery to my doorstep. Easy to save regularly used locations and can pinpoint where a digital photo was taken. Thoroughly recommended.

Utter waste of time
Closed protocol used to make money
GPS is the only reliable way of position fixing. You can’t save locations and what if you don’t remember the 3 words of your destination correctly?
Google maps gives you gps coordinates. Learn to read them and you’ll know exactly where you are….

This is a fantastic app and one that could potentially save your life. It will pinpoint your location to a 3m x 3m square and it will enable people to locate you in an emergency. It is also great for delivery companies that use this app as they can locate your location very easily, especially in rural locations, making it better for everyone. It can be used in certain sat nav systems and as more and more people and companies use this app it will revolutionise the way that we travel, meet friends etc. Just give it a try and you will be amazed!

Trying to figure out how this is better then latitude and longitude or GPS?
Failling to see why this is useful.

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

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.
