Yeah, not least because it relies on someone at the other end having the same app. OS Locate or Viewranger are far better, free and do not require phone signal to work. Last summer so many people were shilling it for use in the Munros that I wonder if they were paid to share...
Hi Bill, what3words doesn't require a phone signal to work, you can also use what3words in @viewranger | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-gedOuXVlk … | or simply send people a link which will open the wha3words map browser.

Or you can provide a grid reference which the vast majority of people enjoying outdoor activities will be aware of, and can link in beautifully between a paper map and an app on a device. There is no need to over complicate things.
