Flush Toilet Finder helps you find public toilets

Traveling in a foreign city and have no clue where the public toilets are? Flush Toilet Finder is here to help. The iOS and Android app helps you locate public toilets in your area as well as how to get to them. You’ll get the directions to them via Google Maps or Apple Maps, depending on the OS you’re using. The app also lets you know if the toilet has a fee, needs a key to use, or if there is access for the disabled. Their database currently covers over 100,000 public toilets around the world and that number is growing.

Track smartphone use with QualityTime

Hoping to boost productivity or at least find out how much time you spend staring at your smartphone? QualityTime for Android is an app that will help monitor your smartphone habits. It can let you know how much time you spent using apps or how much you use your phone in general. The more you use it, the more you find out about your smartphone habits. It can let you know which days you use your smartphones the most and what apps you use at different times of the day.

If you want to control your particular use of an app, QualityTime can even warn you if you’ve used up the boundaries you’ve set. It has a “take a break” mode that will lock you out of certain apps for a given amount of time. But in case you need to use an app because of an emergency, you can do so with pre-approved apps.

Google now tracks voice and mobile search history

Google is constantly updating your Account History page to get more information about what you use their products for. These are used to make suggestions for autocomplete as well as Google Now. But if this isn’t something you’d like them to track, you can opt out through your Account History page. From that page you will be able to pause or even just view your voice search history as well as other information from your smartphone and tablets. You just need to select “Manage history” to delete the stuff you don’t want to be seen.
