## What3words 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
- Navigate offline with compass mode

## What3words Reviews in New Zealand

### ***** "Kauri"
Great app. Brilliant use of modern technology.
-- 35degrees, 2024-01-29

### **--- "Uhm…"
Prompted to rate the app 2 minutes in. Pretty early in my opinion. So, tried to find the square for my house. Used the satellite view as suggested. Too bad the satellite imagery is outdated, so can’t exactly pinpoint my house which is of recent construction. Hope I’ll have something better to say going forward.
-- Frank Enzed, 2023-04-13

### ***** "Great app"
I really like the direction this developer has taken with this  app.
-- onawhitehorse, 2022-04-27

### ***** "Genius"
Wow what a genius idea! I should know because when I was in primary school I had an idea to make the same sort of then expect with numbers and letters for every square meter, and I started naming square meter parts of my school. I’m very happy that someone made it into an app!
-- Томс1923, 2022-02-03

### ***** "Just.do.it"
Awesomely simple way of describing exactly where you are. Three word elegance for every location on the planet.
-- Tobinate, 2020-08-06

### ***** "Easy"
Easy way to send and find favourite spots
-- HippoNorm, 2019-04-23

### ****- "Interesting"
Can you get the word combinations for your home address changed if you don’t like them? Mines got bedbugs!!!!
-- Macwarren, 2018-08-28

### *---- "Fail"
Does not run at all on my iPhone 4s, it sits on the intro screen then crashes out.
-- Smeaton, 2016-08-15
