what3words Avis 

It’s the best app ever I don’t know how I managed without it but saying that I want everyone to have the chance to have the same opportunity as me . My son moved into a new flat which didn’t have any door numbers on the front door and I had a delivery arranged for him and the driver still managed to find him the day before he was missed.

Got us straight to a remote cottage in Wales that otherwise would have been tricky to reach. Just needs better integration with Waze and Google Maps (owned by the same business) though I appreciate there's a work around

What3words proved its worth last month when a motorbike which we identified as stolen was found dumped in a hedge outside our village. I reported the bike to Avon & Somerset Police online and was delighted to see a section for the what3words address of the "incident". I gave the what3words address and within an hour, the police had contacted the owner who arrived to secure his bike so it couldn't come to further harm. The bike was collected by the owner's insurance company the next day. I'm sure that reuniting the bike with its owner would have taken much longer without what3words!

When we developed a flat tyre on a muddy country lane in the dark in an unfamiliar area, we had no way to describe our location to the breakdown service. Fortunately we both had What3Words, and they arrived quickly and easily to help.

Brilliant for collecting the kids!
They can send me the three words if they're in the park, a different school exit, the shopping mall etc, etc

My husband dropped myself and friends off at a concert. We could not get back to the agreed collection point. So we used what3words and he found us exactly under the lamp post we were standing under. Brilliant!

Drove to a location to reccie

Made a note of the what3words address

Drove there again the next day using the unique address with Google maps

It took me to a location 1/2 a mile away

I think the concept is brilliant. I used to use a GPS for everything but w3w brings it down to a common denominator for all people to use. Hasn’t failed me yet.

For a person suffering a cardiac arrest, prompt use of a defibrillator is vital. All public access defibs should have w3w addresses to help find these life-saving devices.

I downloaded the app to my phone y'day and was very impressed with it when I saw how accurately it pin-pointed exactly where I was in my house. But then today was showing it to a friend at her business location a few streets away - and the app indicated we were not in her shop but across the road (a very wide road with 6 lanes) on the footpath!

We live on the seaside out in the country and belong to a home exchange program. Our guests were arriving by sailboat and we using a mooring in our cove. Problem was there were three moorings so I sent then 3Words for the correct one. Worked great! Thank you What3Words!

Easiest way to find a person or location, period!

On the 2nd June 2024 my wife had a heart attack in a rural location in Woodthorpe, York, UK. I used What 3 Words and gave the information to Emergency Services.
What 3 Words saved my wife's life that day.
Thank You 💖

Use it when I can all ways gets me right on site

The easiest app I have ever had cause to use, it's now my go to app for travelling anywhere

After an accident I had 2 cracked vertebrae, a fractured pelvis, 8 broken ribs in multiple places and a pneumothorax (collapsed lung). The what 3 words reference was sent to the emergency services and they found my location in the middle of a field quickly. The emergency services use this for remote locations in my area. I find this app easy to use, you can save places as favourites and if you get used to using it this can be a life saver. My home address is a hard to find place and this is also good for deliveries.

Found this harder to use than the car satnav

Had to driver to Cheshire from Gloucestershire for Christmas to a place I have never been. The House was in a road with just House Names. I was sent the what3words address put it in my SatNav and I was taken right to entrance. Not bother no stress.

Hi to you all who have taken the time to read this review.
I need to explain about where I live. The different type of tracking apps that are used by courier services quite often take them to the wrong area which happens to be about half a mile away on the wrong side of a dual carriageway. It’s a five mile detour to get back to me!!
I am an elderly gentleman with a balance problem and had a bad fall that needed my daughter to call an ambulance. She was surprised that the ambulance service took my what3words as a matter of course and was with me very quickly, no mistakes !! Thankfully I am fully recovered.
I now tell all the people who come to visit me to download and use what3words if they don’t know how to find me.
Bravo.

I’ve been using W3W for several years now as a precise starting point for our weekly club mountain bike rides. It has proved to be the best way of making sure we all arrive at the correct location and it’s so easy to use and to share on WhatsApp. The only thing you do have to check carefully is the spelling of each word or you could end up somewhere on the other side of the world
