    Why must everyone put their apps behind a paywall to be anywhere adjacent to useful. In order for me to save favorites anymore, in an app I’ve used for years, I have to get a subscription to this map app… what?! It’s bad enough it shows me ads for clearly no reason if I can’t save a favorite place locally on my phone! So this app just lost all usefulness as I can use better free apps that aren’t Google or stuck behind a paywall. This seemed promising with the 3 word navigation, but seeing how no one I’ve ever worked with or met uses this app (probably because basic services like a local storage of locations is free everywhere else and no adverts crashing in for unrelated services) I guess I am over this. I need reliable apps for traveling that don’t put basic functions behind a subscription.

  • AI?

    They’ve even shoehorned AI into this app now. Why on earth do you need AI to tell you your location?

    Used to love this app, but it’s gotten greedy. The company’s lost nearly £150 million over the years with almost no revenue, so now they’re plastering the free version with ads and hiding basic features—like sending to navigation or saving locations—behind a Pro paywall. The clever idea is still there, but the desperate money grab has ruined a once-essential tool.

    No more photo mode and cluttered with an ad. Such promise, flushed away.

  • Was helpful, now not so much.

    The location system they promote was useful for non-coordinate trained people, but their system soon progressed into a standard “Corporate Suck” type of business model. I had been successfully using their system; but, if you actually want to adopt this system for more than 10 locations, be prepared for a continuous subscription fee of over $4.50 per month. I don’t need another subscription for an alternate coordinate system when I can catalog locations in Decimal Degrees from numerous other Apps for free. I need to save navigation information for way more than 10 locations. I stopped using what3words.

  • Too complicated

    I come from an emergency service background and this is why too complicated. You could use the military grid and it would be much better than this. This leaves you open to confusion and misunderstanding.

  • Classic bait and switch

    I should have never upgrade the app. Now, after they’ve garnered positive reviews, they’ve went subscription. The only gps app I can use on my iPhone is Apple Maps. If I want to use Waze or Google Maps, I have pay subscription. Classic bait and switch.

  • Annoying messages

    Occasionally a message pops up with gps accuracy poor. It is so annoying and useless. You have to tap on it then get out of it before getting a normal usable screen. Please remove that useless message feature. Put that message in your settings to bring up if one wants to read it.

  • Now almost unusable

    The latest version now only offers Apple Maps as a real Navigate option. They also offer Uber, which I guess if you need to find your grocery store is ok. It is totally stupid when navigating a 700+ mile destination. Apple Maps option doesn’t even really give you a route, just pops the neighborhood map of the location. No route, just a duplicate of the What3words display for the location. Does anyone at the company use their app for anything besides going home from the office?
