Mobile applications are booming, and one of the best things to come out of this new technology are the apps that help us find bathrooms. And these are not just for people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD): if you're pregnant, have run-of-the-mill diarrhea, or have small children, you'll appreciate being able to find the nearest bathroom in a hurry. Oh yeah, these apps can help you locate the nearest CLEAN bathroom, too!
