Show the Loo version 1.5 launched
Show the Loo was rebuilt from the ground up, offering an overall improved user experience and first and foremost drastically increased speed.!
View screenshots and download the new version here.
The initial version was really a proof of concept for us here at Pantha Corp to see what you could do with the early iPhone SDK. Of course, we would still love to incorporate the excellent data of toiletmap.gov.au (see also other entry here) into the Australian version although it does not seem very likely after our initial request for a license was rejected. We are not giving up hoping that this might change in the future.
The new features in comparison to the previous one are:
* All close-by loo's in a radius of 10km are displayed rather than only a small subset of the available ones
* The GPS accuracy is displayed and updated as the iPhone receives an updated co-ordinate
* The distance to the selected loo is shown and updated 'live'
* A random loo within Australia is displayed when shaking the iPhone
About 1/5th of all users have downloaded the new version in the first few days since the release. We are looking forward to everyone's feedback and indeed hope that we will fare better this time around given all improvements made.
Before commencing development of version 2 we still want to improve the initial loading of directions which - depending on the users connection - can still take longer than we would like it to.
