No. Some listings have no recorded hours, and Phoo marks those as unknown. When hours are available, the app checks them in the toilet’s local time zone. Listed hours help you plan, but they do not guarantee the door is open when you arrive.
Some parts do. Listings for the areas you have opened are kept on the device and can be read offline, including any saved hours, fees and access details. Recent changes may be missing. Apple Maps imagery may not load offline, and walking route estimates and directions need a connection.
