Used to be greatI understand the need for profitability but I feel the app is unusable now without a subscription. The ads are overly intrusive and simple features like saving multiple locations are now behind a paywall.

Used to be greatThis used to be a great app when you could choose your navigation, but the most popular ones are now hidden behind a paywall, and Apple Maps is frequently off line in remote areas. Maybe allow a single choice for navigation, to be helpful to people

Not payingUsed to be free this app cheeky sods I’m not paying

So helpful at festivalSaved hours looking for tent area

The NutsW3W is just amazing! Fabulous product and service.

Life saverMy buddy had a medical emergency while we were out trail riding on motorcycles. He was not able to continue and we had no idea where we had to stop. I used the what3words app and provided my location to emergency services and they knew exactly where we were. Highly recommend!
