This app works great! I really had to go pee and had no idea where the closest public restroom was, I decided to try this app out... 8.9 miles away, ok I can do it! I start driving and it tells me to turn here, drive a bit further, turn here, drive a bit further, then it starts telling me to pull over and walk the rest of the way... There is no where (and I mean no where) to pull over, we were in the woods... Ok so I'll just drive a bit further and see what happens, make a left on Ball Park Rd, (which I did), ends up being some sort of dirt road, mobile home trailers are all over the place here, signs like "no trespassing" and "beware of dog" and "will be shot on sight" are all over the place around here. I start thinking this app is just leading me somewhere to get murdered. I turned around and got the heck out of there! I figured it was better to pee my pants in the safety of my own car than get out of the car around there. Use caution with this app...it maybe a tool used by serial killers to lure you to them!
So, when you see a toilet marked. There is no info on the toilet usually. You can title it but there is no option to write more. For example: for people with Crohns or Ulcerative Colitis to which this app can be helpful, there isn’t a way for users to say whether or not the toilet is a single person locked room or multiple people can use it with many stalls. Having that option that users can click to identify is extremely helpful. For most with crohns or colitis and you have to use the restroom for an extended time having a single user locked door bathroom offers the privacy you need so being able to identify those would be super helpful. The idea of the app is awesome so I gave it two stars because the addition of the type of toilet and the quality of the toilet can be a big deal to some people. Like does the bathroom look like the type of place people sell drugs and graffiti n stuff or does it have reasonable cleanliness. Having some sort of rating system for the toilet would be great as well. The most important thing is having some way to identify the type of toilet/facility whether you can lock the door and have a single use bathroom or is it more like an airport bathroom with like 10 stalls..etc
Thank you for the feedback. I will look into this.
This is a great, simple app that does exactly what it supposed to do — shows you a map with toilets, whether or not they’re easily accessible (in terms of needing a key but also in terms of ADA accessibility), and allows ratings. Updating this with feature requests:- While you can rate toilets that are already listed, there’s no way to update the info. The place I’m at now is disabled accessible, but the rating doesn’t show this, and there’s no way to add that information.- Need to be able to indicate child changing stations.
I think this app has great potential and there are some issues to be worked out. I reviewed some identified locations in my area and they were not near anything resembling a public toilet. Often a place was called the town name (“Northampton”) in my area and was in a spot (end of a residential street) where there is no public toilet near. I think that may be because the interface to add a location is difficult to use. It ought to be easy to move a pin around while you are editing the location information. Locations should have a specific name (like a store/restaurant name) and an address that is editable.
As someone with chronic issues I find traveling and even doing errands can be very stressful. This app goes above and beyond bc first of all it’s free. Having it be accessible for people is amazing. It also not only tells you there’s a restroom but also if it’s accessible, if you have to pay, if you need a key, etc. It removes nearly all the barriers and anxieties associated with needing to use the facilities. It has freed me up to travel without having constant stress. Thank you!
I downloaded this app because I wanted to add a public restroom I found at a regional park I visited over the weekend but for which there is no marker on ANY map, anywhere - not Google Maps, or even this app. But I could not add the marker for the restroom because the app only allows you to add a marker where you are physically located at that moment. I am now miles away from that location, so how is this helpful to anyone? Another reason for removing stars is the lack of a web interface where users could contribute suggestions. This would greatly enhance the usability of this app.
