This is a great idea! The problem that I ran into is that once you install one language, the app doesn’t recognize others. I use it in English, but let’s say someone uses it in Russia and sends me a Russian 3-word address because that’s the language that they use the app in. It won’t recognize is.


Great app

Great way to find anyone anywhere


Very useful (make a SOS quick button for emergency situations)
Hot Rod 9

I love this app. It is very useful in so many ways. I was thinking that a “SOS” button should be incorporated to the app. Say a child gets kidnapped and could quickly send out a location to Pre-determined people in their contact list. Love the app!


I liked the old UI where the highlighted square is centered and you drag the map around

I liked the old UI where the highlighted square is centered and you drag the map around. Otherwise good app.

Great thinking guys. I hope this revolutionizes GPS use


They didn’t have my street address.

Hard to set up when they don’t have your street address in their system.


Useful, but why lower case app name
EdiPhone

Why go against the way language is commonly used, and be different from 99.99999 of the other apps out there that properly capitalize their names? Please - What3Words would be perfectly great. Users don’t think lower case names are hip cool futuristic or inspiring. They don’t I promise you. They don’t like it.
