Features & Accessibility
What accessibility features does EasyPZ provide?
We aim to show information about wheelchair access, gender-neutral bathrooms, baby changing stations, and entry fees. While this data is still growing, you can help make EasyPZ better by adding or updating accessibility information for any restroom in the app.
Do you only show public restrooms?
No, we show both public restrooms and those in businesses like cafes, restaurants, and stores. Private restrooms are clearly marked, and we ask users to respect each business's policies. EasyPZ is designed for restroom emergencies, but good behavior helps keep these facilities available for everyone.
Can I use EasyPZ offline?
No, EasyPZ needs an internet connection to show you the latest restroom information.
What makes EasyPZ different from other apps?
EasyPZ is built for speed and simplicity when you need a restroom fast. Our streamlined design makes finding restrooms at least 5x faster than Google Maps, and can be up to 100x faster with better results. Plus, our community-driven database helps keep information reliable and up-to-date.
Data & Privacy
Where are you getting the data from?
Our data comes from public sources, open data platforms, and most importantly, our community. Users can now add and update restroom information directly in the app, helping us build the most reliable database together.
Are the restroom listings accurate and up to date?
While we review all entries, the accuracy of information can vary. That's why we rely on our community to help keep everything up to date by reporting issues and updating information directly in the app.
Is my personal information secure?
Yes! We take your privacy seriously. The core service works without any personal data. When we add bonus features requiring an account, we'll only collect essential information and keep it secure. Read our privacy policy for our commitment to your privacy.
How often is the data updated?
Our community updates the database in real-time, and we review all new submissions to ensure quality. You can help by updating information for any location you visit.
