Flushd Launches World's Best Bathroom App for the iPhone (Yeah, You
Read This Right)
SANTA MONICA, Calif., March 7, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- AhhhMedia, LLC is
pleased to announce the launch of Flushd, the world's best bathroom
app. Currently available for the iPhone and iPad, it's an innovative
and fresh approach to the potty. Puns intended.

Looking for a bathroom with a changing table? Trying to avoid
bathrooms with attendants? Have an emergency and simply need to find
the closest bathroom...immediately? Flushd shows you the way in a fun
and easy manner.
"Our goal is to take a conversation that is happening on the fringes
and bring it mainstream," says James Edwards, CEO of AhhhMedia, LLC -
the App's creator. "We want to embrace one of the world's greatest
inventions and celebrate an experience that we take for granted
everyday."
Flushd allows the user to easily discover restrooms around them and
even provides an emergency locator for those urgent moments that maps
the user immediately to the closest place of relief. Bathrooms can be
selected based upon quality, distance or feature (i.e. changing
table). Once you have settled in-stall, the app becomes your personal
curated bathroom reader. The app's Read function lets you engage your
social feeds (Facebook, Instagram and Twitter) or other content
including ESPN, BBC World News and other sources from a broad variety
of content verticals and areas of interest. Flushd also features
content from Flushd's physician co-founders, Jessica Edwards, a board
certified gynecologist, and Marc Richman, a board certified urologist,
who will be blogging on men and women's bathroom related health
issues.
Upon completing the relief experience, the user can review and rate
the bathrooms and share tips with other likeminded Flushd users. The
app then shows the user their personal potty statistics via the app's
Analyzer function. You can analyze your bathroom habits and keep track
of your #1's or #2's, the time of day you most often visit the
bathroom and which of the restrooms you frequent or favor.
Users can also list private bathrooms and share those publicly if they
desire to help expand access to restrooms and create a community of
shared resources.
"Bathroom behaviors are usually a pretty solid indicator of your
overall health," explains Marc Richman, Flushd Co-Founder and COO, "We
wanted to be able to lead a candid and open dialogue about health
issues people may normally find embarrassing. When this happens,
conditions remain undiagnosed. In situations like these, maybe our
discussions will spark a desire for some of our users to consult a
physician."
The founders also hope to raise awareness of sanitation issues
globally. The Company will be launching a paid version of the app
where the majority of future proceeds will be donated to sanitation
charities globally.
"We are trying to create and support a worldwide 'movement'," added
James Edwards. "Can a funny and novel approach to sanitation issues
change the world one flush at a time? We think so."
About Flushd Flushd is taking a clean and fresh approach to the
bathroom experience to give consumers. Our goal is to create the best
in-stall experience for all downloaders. The app is free and can be
downloaded from the Appstore.
