    ratings?

    While its a nice app and you can rate the toilets, you cannot rate the cottaging factor of the public connivances. Think they missed out on that one, or is it only for paid version?

    Paris just because there’s no George Michael

    Just tried it

    and I'm not impressed. This was on an Android phone. First, it insists on having GPS on, which is going to eat the battery, even though a coarse position from cell bases would probably be sufficient. Second, the list of loos near my home seemed impressively accurate, but when I asked for them to be displayed on the map the positions shown were bizarre. The nearest, which is about 500m west of me was shown as about 500 m east, down an obscure side road. Parents with small kids are not going to be happy about getting a mystery tour of a local housing estate rather than a loo.

    Find Toilets

    As a keen OpenStreetMap supporter I've been using the alternative Find Toilets app for a while now. It's not quite as complete as Toilet Finder yet, but the fact that my submissions get added to OSM rather than locking it in some developers database, makes it better in my opinion. Find Toilets is definitely available in the UK app store (cos that's where I got it from).

    Wrong link

    Your link points to the US version of the app, which is (understandably) not available in the UK app store.

    This is the one you need:
