I played with the (Android) app a little now. Basically: it works. A bit quirky at times though, and I hate that I see no way to choose a mapping background like you can on the web page (Google data is seriously outdated for addresses in NL: I can get the map point, but trying to get directions fails because G doesn't know the actual street address; at least you get something approximate, but that's not good enough for actual directions). So, for now, for NL, using the website on your phone (and switching to OSM) is better and more reliable than using the app. That said, the app seems to be under active development, so it will likely get better. (In the mean time, G seriously needs to update their database - both satellite imagery (sometimes > 10 years old!) and street addresses (and how they are mapped to the map data). #what3words #app #osm #googlemaps

Wir verwenden die skobbler app, welche auf #OpenStreetMap basiert. Sind z.T. genauer und ausführlicher als die #GoogleMaps. :)

@bes Das koennte ein netter Anfang werden, dass #OpenStreetMap irgentwann #GoogleMaps und andere propritaere Navigationskarten "Konkurrenz" machen kann. Ich hoffe, es geht so weiter, in die richtige Richtung ist es schon mal.

@luke that is why I try to avoid #google entirely, no #android, no #googlemaps, no #googlenews, no #google-search, nothing.
