Your emergency. His day job. Restroom Report helps you find a better bathroom stop—with a tiny critic who has opinions about the working conditions. Browse nearby gas stations, truck stops, highway rest areas and fast food stops. Compare traveler ratings, check restroom status and access, and get directions before you commit. KNOW BEFORE YOU GO • See CleanScores, recent traveler reports and how fresh the information is. • Check restroom availability, access restrictions, supplies and layout. • Save the good stops and keep the ones you would rather avoid in Avoids. • Get directions to your next stop. YOU RATE. HE REACTS. A guided review walks you through cleanliness, smell, toilet paper, soap, hand drying, sinks, safety, accessibility, baby-changing facilities, crowding, status, access, layout and notes. Your cheeky companion reacts along the way. No paper? He has thoughts. After your review saves, replay his bathroom debrief and share an illustrated verdict. Your name, location and written note stay off the share card. MEET YOUR TRAVEL COMPANION Meet him in the interactive introduction, find him in Saved and Profile, or tap his compact map button for a thought. Prefer a quieter trip? Turn the mascot off in Settings. Try the review cards from Settings without traveling or posting a rating. Real ratings require a fresh location near the stop to help keep reports trustworthy. OPTIONAL ON-DEVICE AI On compatible devices, optional AI quips add variations to his commentary. The beta is off by default. This feature uses Apple’s on-device model and excludes your identity, precise location, written notes and rating history. Prepared jokes keep things moving when AI is unavailable. HELP THE NEXT TRAVELER Rate a restroom, flag outdated information and build your contribution history. Trusted Travelers badges recognize reliable contributions. No bathroom photo uploads. Just useful stop information—and a little personality when nature calls. Restroom Report — Know Before You Go.
