Show HN: Couldn't go to the bathroom during a movie, so I made a free app

I understand there can be medical issues and other complications but I'm curious how many people does this apply to? If you need to pee more often than every 3 hours and don't have a known medical issue, it's time to get to the doctor and find out if you do.

Because when you do have medical issues, how precisely can you time it? I'm really curious about this bit because I don't know.

Good question. I have to pee frequently. I've been examined by a doctor and it's just that some people have smaller or larger blisters. I think there are a lot of people who suddenly have to use the toilet during a movie. From old people to children.

How do you compare to RunPee? Perhaps it's old enough it's forgotten.

Ok, I've just checked it out, but to be honest it seems cumbersome and you have to download the app. Some may prefer RunPee, but who knows, maybe my app will find fans too.
