I have been seeing this advertised on the telly for the last few weeks so i downloaded the app and joined.

How many are using it here? Do you think it works ok?

I use it fir the few passwords I need to remember. Have a scout around somewhere you'll remember until you find a catchy one.

Not used it for serious purposes though.

I use it all the time. Some of my work locations are a nightmare to find using post codes etc, but with W3W I can send people 3 words, and get them to the exact right spot.

It’s fine if you are dealing with people who can smell

My father in law would never get this right in 100 years

I find the google maps + codes feature handy

My breakdown provider wrote to me this last week advising I download the W3W app for use in the event they need to locate me.

I use it for locating EV car chargers.. Its handy in that it can direct to exactly the spot where it is rather than the generic postcode

Joking aside the google plus codes do work well, I use it to point out my drive when I’m selling stuff etc, as everyone has google maps
