However…
How is this different from sharing my location from my iPhone with someone?
Description
what3words is an easy way to identify precise locations. Every 3m square has been given a unique combination of three words: a what3words address. Now you can find, share and navigate to precise locations using three simple words.
Use what3words to:
- Help emergency services know exactly where to find you
- Plan exact meet-up locations
- Tell car breakdown services where you are
- Navigate to any destination easily
- Save your favourite memorable spots – a viewpoint, waterfall or proposal location
- Save key work locations, from incident reporting to delivery entrances
- Help people find your business or Airbnb
- Guide people to accessible entrances.
what3words addresses are accepted by over 85% of UK emergency services as well as the AA, and many UK delivery companies. Businesses and hotels display what3words on their contact pages, and booking confirmations – anywhere you would normally find location information.
Popular features:
- Find your current what3words address offline
- Compatible with navigation apps including Apple Maps and Google Maps
- Save your favourite locations and categorise them into lists
- AutoSuggest prompts you with intelligent suggestions
- Available in over 60 languages

What3words Reviews
Fun app
Just now learning the ins and outs of what3words. Besides being very cool it is also potentially leaving in an emergency. I’ll keep plugging away at the learning until I’ve got it mastered
Used to be good, now get constant nagging and have to skip so much just to use it
This app used to be so simple, straight forward and not intrusive. Nowadays, I get frequent notifications that I don't need, and what's worse every time I open the app after a while I now need to skip through multiple pages or steps just to get the three words. I recently had to use the app in an emergency situation and it was incredibly frustrating just to get the words and it unnecessarily delayed the process.
The app is a great idea!!
I noticed that it only mentions UK in the description and other places a lot. I think the app should be made more useable for people who live in other places ie Canada for one, USA for 2 etc etc etc…I live in Ontario, Canada & would like to see this app more geared towards being user friendly for here where I live. Thank you
Not well explained
Just downloaded this and it seems like a good idea but how it works is not well explained. Maybe too many programmers and not enough input from common sense.
It works!
Easy to install. It does tell you exactly where you are!

This is amazing
Great but could use widget dark mode
I love the technology and want to see it grow and develop into a universal standard. It might help if a little more attention was made to the UX. Allow dark mode for the widgets so that it can be integrated more aesthetically on the users app pages. Add features that make it more fun to play with the tech, maybe gamefy a part of it. Onwards and upwards for What3Words!
Funny names for places!
This app is so fun! Like with the Book Master of All Masters, this app creates hilarious names for every place on Earth! As a visual thinker, I think of these as funny images and characters.
///closed.standard.scheme (sorry Yukon)
Think these three words before sharing any social connections with the app as they will push you hard. stop trying to make it happen *outside of M25* Gretchen — it’s not going to happen
