Yes, there really is an app for just about everything. And the RunPee App for Movie Bathroom Breaks is proof of that.

The app, which is downloadable for the iPhone, Android and Windows phones, is pretty damn genius. Not only did Dan Gardner and Jill Florio come up with a wonderful idea for movie watchers with small bladders or enlarged prostates, but they also created and implemented the app in such a way that it is truly helpful and more informative than one might think.

How Does It Work?

The RunPee app exists to improve your movie-going experience. The database is updated weekly with the latest movies so you will know the best times to run and pee, without missing the best scenes. Of course, we provide a synopsis with each Peetime, so you will know exactly what you missed while you’re gone. There is no other information like this in the entire world. We have over 1,900 movies in our database, and more added every week by our family.

After carefully watching newly released and in-theater movies, RunPee determines the best “Pee Times,” 3-4 minute windows during which nothing crucial, extra funny or visually fantastic is occurring, for a large database of commercially produced films.

The built-in Timer will alert you, by discreet vibration, 30 seconds before each Peetime—so you don’t have to worry about bothering the people around you in the theater. Now you can relax and enjoy the movie…without wondering when to take a break. You never have to sit down again and ask, “What did I miss?”

It offers “suggested Peetimes” – Not all peetimes are the same. Some are better than others. The apps have a short message before the peetimes informing you which one we would recommend using and which ones might be for emergency use only.

There’s even a synopsis of what you might miss during a particular Pee Time (you can read that on the toilet):

Scanning the movies to find these times where you need not worry you wasted your hard-earned movie ticket money and you can slip right back into the movie, able to pick up where you left off without having missed anything major, is only part of the app.

Additional Features:

• Running Late
If you’re running behind, our app will tell you what you missed in the first three minutes. Like our Peetimes, this unique information is not available anywhere else.

• Lets you know if there is anything during or after the end credits that you should stick around for like bloopers, outtakes, epilogues or funny jokes. No more waiting 8-10 minutes for nothing. [Note: This is also very helpful for those movie theaters with crowded parking lots so you can just duck out the second the movie ends]

• Quick access to RottenTomatoes.com ratings as well as information about the cast and crew from IMDb.com

• Uses local storage to store movie data on your phone for use later when in case you are offline inside the theater.

• Sign up for an e-mail notification as to when a movie is released

• Post movie reviews to Facebook from the app without the trouble of texting

• View ratings/ reviews by other RunPee app users

The website RunPee tells you the developer’s inspiration and introduces you to the people behind the app.It also has movie reviews.

In addition to the aforementioned, the Run Pee page on Facebook also gives you a peek at movie trailers for upcoming releases and reviews of new movies.

With the help of movie critic, Shanee Edwards, who now works for the folks at RunPee, they have access to movie screenings before a movie is released to the public, so that in most cases PeeTimes for a newly released movie are posted quickly.
