Comments on what3words: Navigation & Maps for Android

★★★★★ Aditya Patel · Aug 3, 2026

What3Words Every 3 meter square of the world has been given a unique combination of three words. Used for e-commerce and delivery, navigation, emergencies and more.

★★★★★ Imran Khan · Jul 25, 2026

Haven't seen any other generally available method for such accurate location sharing. Also, as an amusement, I left the app running while my flight was taking off last summer. It was pretty interesting to see, but seemed to track pretty well. This app will always be on any mobile device I have from now on. Things to improve? I'd like to have an easier time tagging w3w location data to pictures I take. Unnecessarily difficult. 3,023 people found this helpful

★★★★☆ Mike Kennedy · Jul 10, 2026

Interesting way to share locations, but the receiver needs the app as well

★☆☆☆☆ R · Aug 3, 2026

What a rubbish. This used to be an amazing app, but now you get a massive banner that takes up 25% of your screen and put the subscription right in front of your face, and have the courage to ask me to pay. I thought this was supposed to help people in emergency situations. There's pop-ups, and hard to confusing navigation. Glad to know that if I ever need a quick location, I'll have to fiddle around to try and tap on a tile to find the words. It's a joke, it's getting uninstalled. You ruined it!

★☆☆☆☆ Terry Calder-Chapman · Jul 16, 2026

This app used to be good now just wants to charge you to save more locations. Talk about a stab in your back to the people that used the app.
