LooGo helps you find public restrooms instantly when you're out in the city. Built natively for Android and Wear OS using OpenStreetMap data, it gives you quick access to door codes, pricing, opening hours, and accessibility details. No ads, no tracking, and no bloat just fast offline maps and a companion Wear OS app so you can find a spot directly from your wrist.
Since people can share door codes, what happens when a code changes and the old one is still up? Does the newest one win, or do others confirm it first? Also curious how big the offline map gets for one city.
@xenit_v0 Thanks for the great questions!
Regarding door codes: The newest code is shown first by default, but users can vote on whether it actually works. The most reliable ones jump to the top, and you can easily filter them (either by newest or by what's working best). If a code repeatedly gets reported as non-working, the app automatically hides it so it doesn't clutter things up.
As for offline maps: You just select the area you want (either by drawing a box on the map or picking a radius around you). It downloads all the restroom data from OpenStreetMap and my custom server edits, along with the actual map tiles. You can also pick the detail level (Basic, Recommended, High) to save space. To give you an idea, a whole city like Prague on medium detail takes roughly around 25 MB.
@seanmodd Thanks a lot. To be honest as a solo dev, I don't have a Mac or the budget for Apple's developer fees right now. So I'm focused on making the Android and Wear OS version as good as possible first. If LooGo grows, iOS is definitely the dream for the future.
@pavluu I am following you in the hope that one day there will be an iOS version! Great job anyways.
Sounds like personal agent for public rest room? Wondering how many places this tool cover
@jackinlearning96 It covers way over a million spots worldwide. I actually talked directly with experienced guys from the OpenStreetMap community who gave me great tips on hidden tags. Thanks to that, LooGo can find a crazy amount of restrooms. Plus, I also run my own database alongside it to keep data accurate.
wow nice idea can you rate the toilets after use?
@seanmodd Thanks again, really appreciate it! Glad it helps!
Love that it has no ads, no tracking and no forced sign-up.. Thanks for building this for real situations.
