For guys, if you use this app too often you might want to have your prostate checked out. I used to leave in the middle of a movie but post-op cancer surgery I luckily don't need this app anymore. I was in my early 40s when I was diagnosed so it's not just old geezers who should be aware. Luckily most cases are benign, though.

Re: RunPee – Because movie theaters don't have pause buttons
#32We created something similar, but it lets you listen to the movies audio on your device using headphones. We have a live demo on our site if interested - http://speakerblast.com . We think 4D movies; movies that gets the audiences' devices involved into the experience could be a way of the future. Similar to the texting PSA in China created by Volkswagen (very effective).
>We think 4D movies; movies that gets the audiences' devices involved into the experience could be a way of the future. That is certainly an interesting idea. I'm thinking, though, that getting it to work and be stable across the many devices we have is prohibitly difficult. If I were to do something like this, I'd look at the Firefox OS phones. I don't think they are ready yet, but crazy cheap Firefox OS phones will…
No, it wouldn't be too hard.
Here's a live demo where we turn a small crowd & their devices into the movie's sound system. http://vimeo.com/71647538

Either that, or your just not eating enough bread. Of course.. if you're trying to lose weight, peeing a lot is good.
Just sayin...

#36yes, please use your bright-ass smart phone in the middle of the movie theater. distract every person behind you while you figure out when would be the most convenient time for you to pee. (this is why i don't go to movies anymore.)
The idea seems to be that you open it when you go in. The app has settings to vibrate during the times when you are safe to leave, so you aren't taking your phone out to check, it's a push notification to you that you can go.

Is it safe to assume that since I have always peed a lot, I am OK?
At university (nearly 20 years ago) I had a friend who was the same (or worse) than me. He was a bit of a hypochondriac, went to the doc, got tested for diabetes, and a number of other things. They shoved an endoscope up his parts (most painful thing ever, he said) and told him he had a weak bladder, deal with it. Since hearing that story, I have basically ignored the problem.

#38I'd rather have an app that screens all the other moviegoers so that I can arrange to sit in an area where I'm not surrounded by people who have some kind of Pavlovian response that 'movie' = 'feed my face with crunchy popcorn, slurpy drinks and sweets from a noisy plastic bag'. People: You will not die if you go without carbs for a couple of hours.
For many, including me, going to a cinema is to treat ourselves and have a good time. If all I wanted was to watch a movie, I could've done that at home.
You have a 30ft screen and dts surround sound at home? Wow!

#39I hope that a few movie directors see this app and will make it their next challenge to not allow any convenient pee break.
I guess "Crank" comes quite close.

What a weak attempt at an argument. Of course I don't have, what is your point?
