### 3/5 — Tried to update my local map

*2026-06-23, version 5.19*

We have a super automatic toilet nearby which is not on any maps and now I know why. 
I tried to update my local map from home to include a toilet that I saw was missing. It was so difficult to add the toilet, almost impossible. It wanted me to be right at the entrance to the toilet with my phone and it needed so many details from me that it was impossible to actually add the toilet and so in the end I just gave up and deleted the app

### 4/5 — A really annoying app.

*2026-05-13, version 5.19*

This app is really annoying. Every time you open it there are two pop up that you need to close. It’s constantly asking you if you are enjoying the app and to rate it. When i say constantly it will pop up again seconds after closing it. You can’t specify public toilets only- no, i don’t want the possible awkwardness of using a toilet in a business. It can’t show you your position on the map. The recentre command which a reasonable person would assume would just takes you to a random spot.

### 2/5 — Map does not show all registered toilets

*2026-03-21, version 5.19*

Just tried to add Top Ryde Shopping Centre, which does not show on the map. However the app reported that there was already toilet facilities there 90m from my mark. If so, it SHOULD have been showing on the map

### 4/5 — A must have app

*2026-03-19, version 5.19*

This is such a helpful app for when you’re out and about outside of your local area. A couple of suggestions: please allow more than 16 results when looking at the list.  Secondly, can you make the markers different colours for the different types of facilities as this would make it easier to see at a glance.

### 4/5 — Potential to be a perfect app

*2026-03-12, version 5.19*

Would be 5 stars if it wasn’t for one very annoying feature. You are only able to view a maximum of 16 toilets at a time. You think that you’re looking at all available toilets within a certain location until you zoom in a little or move the map slightly and then more toilets appear that weren’t visible previously. Not sure why it’s 16 specifically but it would be much more seamless if it could be increased a little.

### 2/5 — Toilet map use and edit

*2025-11-26, version 5.19*

Attempted to add a toilet. Only succeeded in adding to an area adjacent to the actual location. The adding process is very clunky. Then to view the map, a bit ordinary.

### 3/5 — Pubs & Shopping Centres

*2025-08-16, version 5.18*

It doesn’t show any Pubs bars or shopping centres

### 5/5 — Very Practical

*2025-06-11, version 5.18*

As a person who drives all over the countryside for work, this app has proved invaluable when I have little idea where the local toilets are. Great idea, Oz Government!

### 5/5 — Brilliant Toilet Loator

*2025-04-22, version 5.17*

I highly recommend this App. I thought there was only one toilet and through this app I discovered there was four.

### 5/5 — Very Handy

*2025-04-11, version 5.17*

If you’re traveling, there is nothing worse than not being able to find a loo when you need one.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2025-04-08, version 5.17*

This app saved me from crapping in my pants

### 5/5 — Most important app

*2025-03-27, version 5.16*

This app has. Provided much relief especially when I’m in an unknown area or city

### 4/5 — Good APP

*2025-03-20, version 5.16*

Good to have when travelling

### 5/5 — Really useful !

*2025-03-18, version 5.16*

I’m very happy with the toilet map, and seriously useful when in need !

The only thing I’d change is to provide a choice between Google Maps and Apple Maps as I don’t use Google Maps on my iPhone…

### 5/5 — Very handy app

*2025-02-28, version 5.16*

We are traveling at the moment with young kids & this app is used almost daily! Thank you!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Contradictory data

*2026-08-03, version 5.19*

I am standing in Barangaroo, between 3 separate toilets shown clearly on the map, yet am receiving a popup telling me there are no toilets in the vicinity. 
Not good when you’re in a panic.

### 1/5 — Pop ups

*2025-12-28, version 5.19*

I am not enjoying use of the app when all I want to know is where is the toilet. 

Your constant need for app reassurance makes using the app fairly useless.

### 1/5 — Poor usability for adding facilities

*2025-11-06, version 5.18*

Unsuccessful attempt to add facilities as would not accept address via pin on map or manual entry

### 1/5 — Toilet map use and edit

*2025-05-17, version 5.17*

Attempted to add a toilet. Only succeeded in adding to an area adjacent to the actual location. The adding process is very clunky.
Then to view the map, a bit ordinary.

### 1/5 — Great resource but stop spamming me for a rating

*2025-04-13, version 5.17*

Would be a 5-star rating except for the constant pop up asking for a rating.

### 1/5 — Daisy Hill Koala Centre

*2024-12-27, version 5.16*

Doesn’t highlight the toilets there and there is no toilet where the pin drop is

### 1/5 — Not nearly enough facilities.

*2024-08-03, version 5.16*

As someone with kidney, bowel issues.. a hot shower is sometimes required so I can get on with my day without going home to shower and change all the time. 
This is definitely a step in the right direction. NZ have a program called kiwicamp where anyone can register to use hot shower, toilet, washing machines, and pay as they go. It’s fabulous and helps one keep their dignity. Thank you

### 1/5 — Not updated

*2023-11-15, version 5.14*

Dump points that have been removed are still on the map causing us stress driving around around cities with the caravan !

### 1/5 — NO PUBLIC TOILETS

*2023-08-20, version 5.14*

There were no toilets at POTTS ALLEY although the App showed that there was!

### 1/5 — Information out of date

*2023-04-18, version 5.11*

Shows toilets that don’t exist anymore

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Accurate and reliable.

*2026-06-21, version 5.19*

I’ve tested this against apps like Flush and Toilet Finder and it’s consistently more accurate. Includes, for example, toilets within shopping centres, where I find other apps don’t have these well documented.

### 5/5 — Incredibly Useful

*2026-05-13, version 5.19*

This app is an easy 5 stars! 
Especially when it shows more public toilets than Apple Maps or Google maps, you can update your preferences to find bathrooms and toilets that suit your needs and is an essential if you frequently travel, 
especially if you have special facility needs or inconsistent issues. 
Personally one of my favourite features is being able to suggest bathrooms to be added to the map, this helps to ensure the app remains useful and up to date.

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2026-05-05, version 5.19*

For all those who work outside.

### 5/5 — So Handy

*2026-04-27, version 5.19*

### 5/5 — Excellent

### 5/5 — Dump Point

*2026-03-06, version 5.19*

Brilliant and easy to navigate xxx

### 5/5 — Life saver

*2026-02-25, version 5.19*

### 5/5 — So incredibly useful

*2026-02-10, version 5.19*

It’s been great for our road trip, probably the best app we downloaded for it. Thank you for creating this!
