I was told that it is a fantastic app for finding our location. I have downloaded it and have tried it two or three times from the same seat in our home. Every time it comes up with a different set of three words. I would have thought that the same three words would come up every time I checked my location? Can someone please enlighten me? :)

It is very sensitive and if you are on the border between some squares it can give different three words. But the squares are so small 3mx3m that in real terms it is not significant. Any emergency services would still find you somewhere within your lounge.

I have had it for about 5 years now. But it just needs one letter in the wrong if your typeing an address. You can use the plus codes on Google maps in the same way.

OS Locate is also a useful app as it gives a compass and latitude and longitude location. Plus codes still require you to input the character set accurately too and aren’t as quick to read out across a call connection.

Any W****I button needs accuracy.

You will get different words around the point you work from as otherclive says it works on metre square units. You can se any of these as the area covered by any of the words is so small as not to matter.

I used this in association with Waze to find my sister-in-law on a CL in the middle of nowhere. Absolutely brilliant and will use it again

I think it's very useful and I have used it a lot. It would be more useful if it was also on my Garmin Sat-Nav though.
Drawbacks are it doesn't help find someone in a high rise block of flats unless they know what floor they're on.
I found it awkward when I was trying to tell a non native English speaker from a roadside recovery company in Spain, We had to be very careful to spell out each word letter by letter and make sure each letter was understood. They then came straight to us though.
