Poop Map is a social app where users can track on a map where and when they use the restroom.[1] In addition to logging location and time of each bowel movement, users can also add a photo, "like" other users' logs, and rate each account.[2] The social elements of the app allow for groups of users to create a competitive league.[3] Certain behaviors unlock achievements in-app.[4]
