There’s nothing worse than making it halfway through a movie and then realizing that—uh oh!—that XXXXXL Coke that you ordered before it started wasn’t such a good idea. Now things are just starting to get really good on the big screen and you need to make a beeline for the bathroom. By the time you make it back, all of the action will be over, you’ll have no idea what’s going on, and you’ll need to interrupt everyone else by asking whoever you’re with to give you a quick synopsis. It can literally ruin a whole movie for you—and it’s the sole reason why we’ve so excited to hear about the new RunPee app that’s available on any iPhone, Android, or Windows smartphone right now.

The idea behind RunPee is simple: During just about any movie, there’s a three to five minute window of time that you can miss without disrupting the movie-watching experience. Maybe it’s a part of the film that has no bearing on the overall plot; maybe it’s a portion that features the love scene that can be easily summarized. Either way, RunPee points out one or two points in each and every movie that would be ideal for running to the bathroom. And, even better, it also provides a quick summary of what happens during those points so that you can read all about it while you’re walking back from the little boys’ or girls’ room. Simple? Yes. But, it’s also one of the most practical movie apps we’ve ever heard about.

If you go to the movies regularly and you can’t seem to skip the gallon-sized beverages while you’re there, you need RunPee on your phone. And, even if you do skip the beverages and don’t use the bathroom while you’re at the movies, you should still download it. Because, outside of providing possible bathroom breaks, RunPee also reveals whether or not you should hang around for extra material after the final credits. It’ll enrich your experience at the movies and change the way you do things at the theater. So, what are you waiting for? Download it now.
