This is an ingenious idea. But seriously? hundred.plus.megabytes This app has the possibility of being incredibly useful sometime in the next 5 years. Until then, it wants to sit on my phone and take up over 0.115 gigabytes. That’s easily 40-50 fewer pictures that I can take. Yes, 50 out of thousands is not a lot, but tell me that when I run out of storage taking videos and pictures on my next trip. For an “indispensable” utility, this is a major fail; and considering what it does, it is also unflattering to the engineering prowess behind it.
Needs improvements
Reitveld
This is a very good idea and concept. The app though needs some improvements: 1) A way to actually copy the three words without all the extra text copied with it. Maybe this is in the settings maybe this is a separate ‘copy’ selection. 2) A way to pronounce the three words. Yes there’s a microphone to listen for input but there is no output. 3) selecting neighboring squares around your Geo location is very clunky. The app should have accessed all of the neighboring square data. It should be much quicker than it is. 4) when absolute precision is not necessary, it would be great to have a list of the three words surrounding you. That way it would be easy to find an easy, pronounceable, & fun three word combination. This would be useful for finding a word selection for your house or business when it is acceptable to be off a little bit.
Another “disruptive” technology
Wizzzzit
An immensely important app that everyone should download. This has the capability of being another “disruptive,” game-changing technology. This simplifies a desired address to a 3x3 meter square. This could improve navigation for regular commuting, ride sharing, delivery services, search and rescue.... The possibilities are endless. My only recommendation to the developers would be to allow the app to access your Contacts List to search those addresses for their 3 words. Otherwise, wonderful work! Kudos!
Huge leap forward for safety

Imagine being able to describe exactly where you are, anywhere you are, to emergency services by saying 3 words. For instance, if you’re in the middle of the woods, or in an unfamiliar place. It’s an amazingly simple and powerful tool. Every parent should have it, and every emergency service should integrate with it.
Great idea!

This is one of the best things I have seen for navigation. The developers of this app have created a lifesaving tool like no other.
Innovative!

I can’t help but believe this world wide addressing method is our future. In Seattle, we have 5 streets with 145 in the name, and at least 2 of them actually cross. I wish we had this app then ?
What The WHAT - you need this app
Jimmy Thimble
I love being able to share my location, a location of an artist’s booth in an art show or the driveway entrance for a rural piece of property. There are so many uses it is brilliant! The kids love looking at the squares near where we are for fun 3 word combinations. You can even write poetry with it! Oh, and one day this app may just save your life or the life of a loved one. Get it today!
Awesome

It’s amazing to be able to save people’s lives. What would make this app even better if it was able to be data free. Just Incase you were somewhere you don’t have a signal. If there was an emergency situation. If you had a satellite phone. You could save anyone world wide.
Game changer!
