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 50 languages

Pros and cons of what3words: Navigation & Maps app for iPhone and iPad
what3words: Navigation & Maps app good for
Hats off to the developers and those who had this great idea!
Identify or find any precise location in the world with just three understandable and easy to pronounce words.
Or finding your friends at a concert, or when you get separated in a city or camp where none of you can read the street signs (or there are none)!
Needs downloadable, offline map tiles for 5 stars.
This app and entire concept is amazing. This is going to change the world!
Ive only used it for a few minutes but its obvious that it will be very useful. It might be nice to add this to new Geocaches too.
Getting started wasnt quite as easy as Id hoped. When you sign up and log in you cant do anything but modify your details. You actually need to back up one step (to the filled in log in blanks) in order to get the three small horizontal bars on the top left, that let you access the app feature.
Looking forward to using this in the backwoods where no easy location identification is possible.
however, words are still as meaningless as a numerical coordinate. it would be better if the first two words are nouns. ie. running tall giraffe. crazy bald computer. white meaningless men. etc.
Some bad moments
I really like the idea behind this app. However, in the current version the GPS/location feature on the map is very inaccurate (by about 200m compared to accurate readings on google maps and apple maps)which renders the app totally useless. Please fix immediately as this impairs the core feature of your app. Thanks
Cant even sign up. Definitely needs work. Good concept, but should have been tested before release. NOT RECOMMENDED
The app loads, very slowly, and then flashes a request to send alerts , and then quits.
The search function crashes with almost any use I have put it through.
I am using iOS 9 on an iPhone 6s and the resolution is clearly quite low. I have no other apps using this older/lower resolution.
No good pictures and buttons are not working. (I can not add my places)
i am going to uninstall app :(
Crashes immediately and resolution still not updated for new iPhones...
