| 2024-05-03 |  | | Love this app as you can provide a precise location if required. One thing that could make this more useful would be the ability to put a widget on your lock screen to allow instant access if needed similar to the emergency call option on lock screens. I have a medical app that provides my medical history etc and the widget gives instant access to my information in an emergency without having to unlock my phone. |
| 2024-01-20 |  | | For an Emergency app, it's scary how many people are saying the location is inaccurate. Unfortunately I watched the app change my location by itself. Sometimes correct, sometimes not. No confidence, uninstalling. At least Google Maps is always accurate and I can download offline maps prior to leaving on a trip. |
| 2023-06-15 |  | | "This app wont work on your device" is the msg I get when trying to download & install. I have a Samsung A5 running Android 8 with latest update. I use this device for all my offline navigation, geocaching & topo maps etc without a problem. Why wouldn't you make such a simple app compatible? Wouldn't you want it available to more people to save lives??? If you had a previous (compatible) version APK I would be happy to sideload onto my device |
| 2023-05-18 |  | | App doesn't work unless you have phone coverage/service. Without phone service, you cannot call 000. The "What3words" component, still provides your gps coordinates. I had to use this app recently for a motor vehicle accident, only 30km east of the Hume Hwy, in NSW; however, no telephone service meant the app did not work. Fortunately, I also carry a PLB, that I activated. Just something to be aware off, if, like me, you think that an emergency call will still go through, with no service. |
| 2022-09-16 |  | | Dangerous app. It thinks I am at my old address, some 50km from where I actually am. GPS won't update. Waze picks up my location correctly so it isn't a GPS or phone issue. This app is dangerous, it could send emergency services to the wrong location. It would be safer not to have the app and use street signs or landmarks or GPS coordinates from your phone to report your location. |
| 2022-09-13 |  | | Great 'just in case' app. Truncation of 'what three words' in primary and map screen may be problematic (unless font size significantly reduced impacting vision impaired individuals). When tapping info box from map screen all text increases in size and often pushes last of the 'three words' out of view/access. Better highlighting of additional services accessible through the menu may also assist those who haven't explored app prior to their emergency/crisis. |
| 2022-05-20 |  | | Your app sometimes displays the "what3words" text wrong between the "Home" screen and the "My Location" screen. At times on the "My Location" screen, the 3rd word is missing letters at the end of the word. But on the "Home" screen all letters appear. Thus, different words can be displayed when at the same location on the 2 different screens. If this review is monitored and your require clarification I have screenshots to illustrate. |
| 2022-02-02 |  | | This is an app everybody should have on their phone. For the average, untrained person, it can be extremely difficult to think rationally in an extreme emergency due to adrenaline coursing through your system that often leads to panic. Giving information such as your whereabouts if you are in an unfamiliar place can make things worse. This app can lessen that sense of panic by giving you everything you need at your fingertips and if you don't know where you are what3words is just brilliant. |
| 2021-02-06 |  | | ALL FONTS NEED TO BE MUCH, MUCH, MUCH LARGER. I need glasses to read, but in an emergency may not have them or be able to reach them. The app doesn't allow "pinching" the screen to make the print larger. The screen desperately needs to be rearranged so that the info is MUCH MUCH LARGER |
| 2021-01-16 |  | | Downloaded to consider as an option for an elderly relative in a remote location who may need to call ambulance. Unfortunately, text size defaults are difficult to see and not clear if it can be changed... highly recommend updating to improve usability for sight challenged users and other user groups who could struggle with the interface. We will print what3words co-ordinate for our relatives property and put in their wallet and on their fridge, but not ideal if they are moving around. |
