Bathroom Scout: The Most Mentioned Toilet Finder App in Media Tests

June 8th, 2025

Recent media reports confirm: Bathroom Scout remains the number one among toilet finder apps. In a recent comparison test by DeinHandy.de, Bathroom Scout was named the winner among the top three free toilet apps. The app was especially praised for its huge database with over three million locations worldwide, covering public toilets as well as restrooms in restaurants, gas stations, and other facilities. Bathroom Scout offers customizable filters, a practical map view, and direct navigation via Google Maps—so everyone can quickly find the nearest restroom when it matters most.

What Makes Bathroom Scout Special?

  • Largest toilet database in the test, with over 3 million locations worldwide
  • Easy filtering by location, toilet type, and more
  • Integration of Google Street View for quick orientation
  • Option to add new toilets and submit ratings
  • Direct navigation to the desired toilet via Google Maps or Apple Maps

Praise and Criticism from the Media

While other apps also performed well in tests, Bathroom Scout stands out particularly for its extensive database and numerous customization options. The only downside, according to DeinHandy.de: the app is not free; users pay a small fee. Nevertheless, the verdict is clear: “Bathroom Scout is the winner in our app test, as it has the largest database and your search also offers several filter options.”

International platforms such as UpdateStar also report on the continuous development of the app. The latest version offers over three million locations, an ad-free user experience, GPX download, and a dark mode for nighttime use. The ability to explore the surroundings of a toilet via Street View and know in advance where you’re heading is particularly praised.

Conclusion

Whether traveling, shopping in the city, or in everyday life—according to current media reports, Bathroom Scout is the most reliable app for quickly and easily finding a nearby toilet. The combination of a huge database, practical filter functions, and an active community makes it the ideal companion on the go. Try it out—and help improve the network by adding or rating new locations!

Crohn’s disease is a chronic inflammatory condition that affects your digestive tract. Bathroom anxiety is a common issue for people with Crohn’s disease, as they may experience frequent and urgent bowel movements, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and other symptoms that make it difficult to find a suitable restroom when needed.

Bathroom Scout celebrates 10th anniversary

January 4th, 2023

Happy 10th anniversary to Bathroom Scout! We can’t believe it’s been a decade since our app first launched on Android, and since then it has continued to grow and evolve.
From the very beginning, Bathroom Scout has been dedicated to helping people find clean, accessible restrooms when they’re on the go. With over 2,700,000 entries in our toilet database, we’ve become a go-to resource for people all around the world.
In 2013, we expanded our reach by launching Bathroom Scout for iOS, making it even easier for people to find the nearest bathroom when they’re out and about. And in 2015, we started working with B2B customers, allowing other companies to incorporate our bathroom data into their own apps.
We’ve always been committed to providing a reliable service, and in 2016 we made sure to take extra steps to ensure the uptime of our app. After a data center outage that year, we made sure to implement redundancies across countries and provider borders to prevent any future outages.
Over the years, Bathroom Scout has been constantly improving thanks to both the support of our community and our dedicated team. We’re so grateful for everyone who has supported us and helped us become the go-to resource for finding clean, accessible restrooms. Here’s to another 10 years of helping people find the nearest bathroom!
