The best apps for on the go

April 10th, 2020

The Bathroom Scout is a constant topic in the media. For instance, inside-digital.de and kxan36news.com report under the heading “Hygiene for people and cars” that the Bathroom Scout helps when you need a bathroom and there is no rest area in sight.
Under the heading “useful smartphone apps”, the German magazine “Das Neue” also presents the Bathroom Scout in its 02.2020 issue, which “quickly finds a quiet place in the immediate vicinity”.
And with reason: The Bathroom Scout already has around 2.5 million entries worldwide and can be integrated into other apps via a simple API interface.

How do the toilets get into the app?

August 24th, 2018

Behind the scenes: To power the Bathroom Scout a modular and up to date server infrastructure is used. The JSON web service selects the required toilets out of 2 million locations in a matter of milliseconds. The app displays the found bathrooms on a map or as a list view.
To ensure the highest availability of the web service and to be fully functional even when one data center deals with an outage we provide two independent endpoints. If the app detects that the used endpoint does not answer in time it switches to the second – without the user even noticing.
