Ratings and reviews

It has adopted the same errors as it's base API (Google Maps API) has made such as giving the Gulf of Mexico the incorrect name, but I won't hold that against this app; some of the other bigger map sites/apps such as Bing Maps and Apple Maps have also changed their maps to have these errors, so it would've been difficult to avoid this.

it works well mostly. I've added a lot of bathrooms around me since there's not many. might not be helpful for you if you don't live in a highly populated area. There needs to be an option to mark a address as wrong because there's no way you can get rid of the wrong address once you submit it, even if you edit it. like I put a McDonald's address as it's listed on Google maps but it was inaccurate so now it says there's a McDonald's where there isn't one. Plus can't send feedback, it's broken.

Great intention and good focus in mind! This app and its developers just need more support to allocate more resources to this powerful and important tool! Would recommend a photo attachment feature as well as a form of time record/'last updated' feature! Highly recommend to a friend in need! Big picture change would be to stop using street addresses and just simple GPS as not all restooms have addresses, and/or a huge building (should and) could have multiple gender inclusive restrooms.
