what3words Opiniões 

Spent the day trying to find accurate locations in a park only to find the website only gives within 5m on consecutive multiple attempts. It also does not load quickly enough to be of any use thus burning through the battery. The lag time of website and gps location is rubbish also. The fact it then directs you to Google map for a 10m direction that is inaccurate is similarly annoying. In addition I had to put the three words in multiple times just for it to start registering. Tried to copy and paste only to get a continuous circle going round and round. I have come away with an extremely bad impression of this website and the ability for The whole three words to accurately identify a location within 1 or 2 m

Don't use this Service !!!
Too easy to miss hear a word combination.
No possible idea how to find a spot near to the one your in without the internet and a look up to their proprietary database.
They've already started charging for access to the system. The charges will broaden and increase as they get greedy and or have shareholders to please.

UNLESS they make the database public / opensource then there's always going to be a point where they get greedy and monetize the system.

There's a much better system called What 2 Numbers (ie longitude and latitude) advantages - its free to everyone forever. you can adjust accuracy yourself just be using more or less digits. you can tell without the internet if your near another location and which direction its in. you can use it on a paper map, etc etc etc there's literally hundreds of reasons that lat lon is a better system.

contrary to what their marketing would have you believe the emergency services don't want it either. as there's been countless errors in phrases and sent ambulances, helicopters, etc etc to the wrong location.

I used their API to generate W3W addresses for good causes. This used to be free, but they are now going to charge, so I won't be using it any more.

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.
