### 5/5 — Very helpful tool!

*2026-08-09, version 7.1.0*

I love it!

### 5/5 — So helpful

*2026-08-06, version 7.0.4*

I think long movies should have an intermission. But since that’s not a thing anymore, RunPee can be a godsend. There are many reasons (age, health issue, medication, simply staying hydrated) that people may need to “go” in order to be able to enjoy a movie without spending the last half hour wondering if you’re going to be able to make it till the end. 
Not only does this mark the best pee times, but the reviews, links to imdb and Rotten Tomatoes, synopses of what happens during pee times, the timer function, and info on whether there is any end credit content all make this a free app that goes above and beyond. 
I’m happy to send an occasional small donation. Keep up the great work!

### 5/5 — Now having to pee during a feature length film Isa good thing

*2026-08-04, version 7.0.4*

Not only does this app take the guessing out of running to tinkle while the movie is running, it has the hook up for tips on extras during/after the credits. So much to gain from using the app, but they demand nothing in return. Donations are gladly accepted, however. Two enthusiastic👍🏽!

### 5/5 — One of the best apps in the App Store!

*2026-08-01, version 7.0.4*

We go to movies a few times a month and this app is invaluable. The support is fantastic, the idea is practical while also being a little absurd, and it turns out it’s perfectly executed!

### 5/5 — Game-Changer

*2026-07-30, version 7.0.4*

Downloaded it a few years ago and I now swear by it.

### 5/5 — Best App of All Time Ever

*2026-07-29, version 7.0.4*

I love this app.

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2026-07-27, version 7.0.4*

This app saves so much time, and makes sure I don’t miss a thing.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2026-07-26, version 7.0.4*

This app is great.  Does exactly what you need it to do with no extra fluff

### 5/5 — Amazing amazing amazing

*2026-07-23, version 7.0.4*

The app is perfect for knowing the timing to go to bathroom, like to the tee. I’ve used this app for almost 2 years now each time I go to the theater I use it, and it’s never let me down. On top of that the short summary it gives about what you missed is perfect and to the point. I could not thank this app enough!

### 5/5 — Worked!

*2026-07-22, version 7.0.4*

Worked well for the hubby!

### 5/5 — Great advice and more

*2026-07-22, version 7.0.4*

The pee times are great and always letting you know if there is stuff after credits. 
Bring your own candy to the movie so you can give them a couple bucks man.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-07-22*

Best app!! Everyone need to use it!

### 5/5 — Game Changer

*2026-07-21, version 7.0.4*

### 5/5 — So thankful for this app

*2026-07-20, version 7.0.4*

I tell everyone about this app. It has saved me from missing out on so many important moments  in movies. Highly recommend.

### 5/5 — The Best

*2026-07-20, version 7.0.4*

I’ve used this app for long movies since its inception. It’s brilliant.

### 5/5 — A must-have

*2026-07-19, version 7.0.4*

Should have another app for concert setlists! Use this app every time I go to the movies though!!

### 5/5 — Game changer

*2026-07-19, version 7.0.4*

Best app ever

### 5/5 — Sheer genius!

*2026-07-18, version 7.0.4*

How did I not know until now that this app existed?!  But luckily, I found out just in time to see The Odyssey.

This app creator is out here doing the Lord’s work, y’all!

### 5/5 — The best app in the world

*2026-07-18, version 7.0.4*

I love this app so much! As a woman of a certain age who’s had 3 kids, I pee a lot. This app has allowed me to comfortably go to the movies without worrying about missing anything.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — “It’s AI or nothing”-support

*2026-07-27, version 7.0.4*

Beware all users! this platform uses and relies on AI. I’ve been a user since this app was still using peecredits and begging for donations. I paid for access then and have supported this ever since. Every time I went to the movies for almost 10 years, I used this app. Until I saw almost all of their internal news articles have AI posters. This app clearly and openly uses AI, and will not be when I messaged their support about it they had this to say: “I'm sorry you feel that way. I think the AI-generated artwork is superb. I can't even draw a stick figure so it's either AI or nothing, and some articles need images.” Those same articles often do not list an author, leading me to believe they are also AI generated. This says everything I need to know about the future of this app. Do Not Use.

### 1/5 — Updating database.

*2026-04-06, version 7.0*

Why it is so long, cannot use the app, even after leaving the updating lasting 5 minutes, still on loading screen.

### 1/5 — Doesn't do the one thing I need

*2025-06-18, version 6.9.5*

All I wanted was to look up when to pee for Mission Impossible Final Reckoning. When I search this in the app if doesn't give me any match. What's the point of this app if I can't find a mainstream movie like this??

### 1/5 — Doesn’t “Notify” with Vibration

*2024-05-19, version 6.8*

It must be totally annoying for other theatergoers to have me have to open the app to see how much time there is until a restroom break because the vibration feature only works in the testing phase, not “in the field”! And no, I shouldn’t have to delete the app and then reinstall it. You need to have it fixed before releasing it! Can you say beta testing?

### 1/5 — Bad

*2024-03-14, version 6.7*

I tried this app over again and you can’t even watch the movies 😡😡

### 1/5 — False advertising  doesn’t tell you when to go to the bathroom.

*2023-07-25, version 6.6*

Go ahead, try to find where the information you need is—when to run and pee. I just wanted to know when to run and pee during Oppenheimer.  
This app gives you polls and reviews from Rotten Tomatoes and IMDB, which you can just check those apps if you want the information, but I could not find anywhere for any current movie where it says when I should go run and pee. 
Like many apps, this probably started as a great singular idea but then they wanted to be everything to everyone and now it doesn’t even do what it claims. It doesn’t need to be a social media platform, it just needs to tell me when to go to the bathroom.

### 1/5 — Broken

*2023-07-24, version 6.6*

Keeps saying connection timed out, like I don’t have internet yet every other app works fine. Useless waste of time.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work

*2023-07-24, version 6.6*

Does not include any current or new movies in theater. Today concludes the end of the Barbie opening weekend, and it is not included in this app. Neither is Oppenheimer. Meanwhile, the new Indiana Jones movie has been out just shy of a month, and it is ALSO not included. What’s the point if the information isn’t provided when the movie is IN theaters?

### 1/5 — Paid App for Pee Coins

*2023-03-25, version 6.5*

This app was once helpful but has become a cash grab.

### 1/5 — Coins? Stupid.

*2022-08-19, version 6.5*

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Personally, necessary

*2026-08-26, version 7.1.0*

As someone who often has to pee during long movies, this app is a comfort. I am grateful it exists!

### 5/5 — My Favorite Movie App

*2026-08-22, version 7.1.0*

I could not go to the movies without this app. It's a game changer for those who need to pee often.

### 5/5 — Essential

*2026-08-19, version 7.1.0*

Genuinely one the best ideas for an app and one of the most beautifully-curated and updated. An essential app if you’re a fan of cinema. Crazy to me that this is manually updated pretty-much daily-you should download, use, support and tell others about it.

### 5/5 — Simple concept done right

*2026-08-18, version 7.1.0*

Genuinely a really well thought app. You can tell that the developers go to the movies because all the features and niche things that aren’t necessarily very needed but would be nice to have and know during a movie, are here in this app. Having live activities makes it so useful, you need to open the app to see when to go pee you can just raise your phone and it’s there. Highly recommend

### 5/5 — A life saver

*2026-08-17, version 7.1.0*

Have been using it for years, probably from the very beginning. As someone who hates being uncomfortable but also hates missing anything, I was so happy when I first found out about this app, and have been grateful for it ever since!

### 5/5 — So useful!

*2026-08-16, version 7.1.0*

I never make it through a movie without needing to run to the bathroom.  This app makes sure I don't miss any crucial plot points!  I also love knowing whether there's anything interesting during /after the credits.

### 5/5 — Love - used for years

*2026-08-15, version 7.1.0*

I cannot recommend enough, been using this for years. It is always helpful and makes us small bladder folks very happy.

### 5/5 — Love this app!

*2026-08-15, version 7.1.0*

I always recommend this app to friends & family. So much great info! I especially enjoy the ‘anything else’ after the movie feature 😊

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-08-14, version 7.1.0*

Best app!! Everyone need to use it!

### 5/5 — Does everything it claims

*2026-08-09, version 7.1.0*

Been using this app for years, it deserves 5 stars for being one of the most consistent and functional apps I’ve ever installed. Does everything it claims without compromise. I think the author is a one man show too (or close to it), which makes this even greater. Donate if you can!
