As someone with a weak bladder, I would happily shell out the money for an application like Run Pee Mobile. I’m only sorry I missed the limited time it was $.99 and had to pay double that amount.
The app, quite simply, lets you know at what points during a movie would it be optimal to go to the bathroom. This would have been very useful for me during Inglorious Basterds. Then I wouldn’t have missed as much. The application even comes with a convenient timer to let you know how far into the movie you are, provided you don’t forget to start it as the movie begins.
The biggest disadvantage of the app is that a WiFi or data connection is necessary to retrieve the information. This is unlikely to actually be available the movie theater while one is watching. It would be better if the application retrieved the data and stored it locally somehow. Granted, that would create problems over time as the storage needs would increase.
Also, why only cover movies that are currently in the cinemas? Why not keep a historical list? And why not make the list searchable? The app currently has no search capabilities. You have to keep scrolling until you find the movie.
Run Pee is simple and functional and that is both beneficial and disadvantageous to the user. Perhaps I had high expectations, but the app is at best average. It is not worth the $1.99, but maybe it would be at $.99. Perhaps they’ll have the discount again sometime soon.
Pros: Simple. Functional.
Cons: No search. Only movies currently in theaters, where there is no WiFi.
Read the Developer's Notes:
RunPee is a must have app for every moviegoer with a bladder. Run Pee tells you which points in a movie you can safely "run" and "pee'without missing a hugely important plot point. Each PeeTime tells you:-Approximately how many minutes into the movie each Pee Time is.-Cue: what happens in the movie to let you know when that Pee Time begins.-How long the Pee Time lasts - so you know how many minutes you have before missing something important,-And best of all: exactly what you'll miss while you're away! As an example from the new Star Trek movie: Run Pee approximately 50 minutes into the movie when...Capt. Pike leaves the bridge on his way to Nero's ship and says," Chekov, you have the con. " You have about 3 minutes to RunPee while...Nero and his crew prepare the'red matter'- we don't know what that is yet. Captain Pike gives orders along the way to the shuttle craft. He promotes Kirk to first officer and tells him that he, Sulu and Olson are going to go with him on the shuttle craft and he is going to drop them off along the way so that they can dive down the length of the drilling cable so that they can disable it. Pike then promotes Spock to Captain and leaves him in command of the Enterprise. On the shuttle craft Kirk asks Sulu," What sort of hand to hand combat training do you have? "Sulu responds," Fencing. "There are a few long scenes, like the dive along the drilling cable, where nothing really happens. Many of the scenes from the fight on the drilling platform are in the previews which you have probably scene already. What did I miss? Now you can relax and RunPee during a movie with the knowledge that you can return from the toilet (or concession stand) and slip right back into the story without asking anyone," What did I miss? " But wait, there's more...Additionally, you can find out if there is an extra scene after the credits finish rolling! Did you miss the real ending of Iron Man, or one of the many in Wolverine? Well, you won't have to worry about that again. You will now know whether or not you need to sit and wait through the credits to see any extra film footage. The Timer - Getting ready to RunPeeThe app has a built in timer for you, so that you can see at a glance how much longer you will have to" hold it "before the next Pee Time. Then, when you leave the screening room you can easily read what's happening while you are busy elsewhere. You just need to start the timer when the movie begins.Coming SoonAnd this is just the beginning! Updates will be rolling out every few weeks as users suggest improvements - all at no extra charge. For instance, we are already working on a feature to vibrate your iPhone a few minutes before each PeeTime just in case you forget. Nifty, eh? Is there more you'd like? Can we help your bladder more efficiently? You tell us. If you have a suggestion to improve the app we'll add it in there. We're always thinking of your comfort....because, as you know,“a bladder is a terrible thing to hold”.
