About Phoo
Phoo is a toilet finder for iPhone and a practical companion for city breaks, family outings and everyday journeys. It helps people find nearby options and check available details about opening hours, fees, entry and facilities. Missing information is marked as unknown, so people can assess a listing before setting off. Phoo works worldwide, and 344 cities across 119 countries also have a written guide on the website. Toilet search and directions are free, with no account required.
Phoo is made by Michal Ferak in Bratislava. Its directory uses OpenStreetMap data under the Open Database Licence (ODbL), with updates from people using the app.
