I knew this idea would work.

When I watched a Ted Talk video a few years ago I knew this idea would work and it does. Perfect app to have downloaded for emergencies

Deleted app after legal threats

I won’t name names. But when I read this company threatened a security researcher for a tweet to an open source alternative, I immediately deleted the app. Hard pass for this app and any future endeavors for this company.

Stunning

I’ve been banging the WTW drum since I first heard about it a couple of years ago. I own a pub in the middle of no where and constantly have couriers and visitors asking for directions. Particularly to barn conversation type properties. This app solves all those problems in an instant. I would suggest to the developers that they contact rural estate agents/realtors and encourage them to use WTW. If prospective buyers use the app to find their dream home I’m sure they would adopt it as part of the properties address. Also association’s like the pony club and the kennel club. Keep up the good work.

The macOS Finder itself uses Launch Services to perform such tasks. Because the Finder performs no additional processing beyond calling Launch Services, any client using Launch Services for these purposes behaves identically to the Finder.
