Answering the call, ‘I have to go now’

Whether you’re hiking a new trail system, or training for your next marathon, or cycling a new loop, there will come an important question. Is there a bathroom nearby? Enter GoNow, the new smartphone app that helps users quickly locate public restrooms and portable toilets within a 10-mile radius, complete with turn-by-turn directions to get you there before it’s too late.

GoNow is built for real-life urgency. Designed with people who suffer from digestive conditions, parents of potty-training children, endurance athletes, traveling professionals, and everyday explorers in mind, GoNow turns bathroom anxiety into bathroom access.

In emergencies, portable toilets often save the day — and GoNow makes them even more accessible. The app allows users to drop the GPS location of any portable toilet they discover, giving it a name and making it visible to others who may need it later. It’s a simple act that could provide huge relief for someone in distress. GoNow is available now on iOS and Android.
