Reviews for what3words: Navigation & Maps

Pro version has killed the app, Photo mode is now locked even though it's been available for years for FREE!

Quite often it gives me completely made up words when I use it in language different from English. And in English there's a different location with a word with one letter difference. That is killing the point of using words. Might as well use 3 x 4 digit numbers. Or 5 digit. Whatever is needed. Digits don't sound as similar to each other when read over the phone as words with one different letter do.

Just testing it out. Looks like a very useful idea especially in large parks or in forests or when going hiking or camping etc.

don't really enjoy it now because you took away stuff that we use and put it behind a pro now. what's the point? not a good choice in management or app design. if you want people to use this, you should not start locking behind pay we were use this for search and rescue volunteer. we used to use it for a lot but now we're not. we're thinking about moving away because you have a locked it behind a paywall and volunteers can't use it and we use promote it. we may not promote it

why can you not change orientation when using it on a tablet? I like to plan all my routes and destinations on the tablet, much easier on a big screen, the map view is in portrait view yet the menu settings can be in landscape if you have the tablet turned that way, why can't we have the map view in landscape also?

play earlier reported a possible problem on your end with uninstalling and installing the beta and the problem was I was using the wrong account, oops I'm sorry, everyone look out for that when you're joining a beta. regarding the pro version now and maybe you added it today in the app you can click on pro and it takes you to your normal payment system inside Google play store, thank you for that I don't know if it was an oversight or I wasn't paying attention

Another app where once again the march of 'progress' has made it less functional. Easy 5 Star application a few months ago but now they have paywalled various features that was provided as standard literally a update or so ago. Photo Mode for instance? Never premium previously free content.

More difficult and frustrating to use than it should be. It is promoted as being useful in emergencies, but is virtually useless without a good data connection, a blank screen is displayed. A basic low resolution backup map is essential. The main issue is that it is now trying to spam adverts and push paid subscriptions, to be useful it needs to be free and open source.

When I was in Devon at a remote place where a postcode covered a wide vast of Area and I could not pinpoint the exact place/point to call RAC for breakdown Service. Luckily RAC told me about this App, which I quickly downloaded and found exactly the right spot/area where I had broken down. I just had to text my 3 words for that particular spot to RAC and they found me without any problem. A must have app!!

With the latest version, the interface has become cluttered with advert links for the Pro (paid) service. It was once very good, now it's OK. Developers should look to remove all the paid link references.
