With the Good2Go app, you don’t have to settle for the first bathroom you find

By
Good2Go App Customer Experience
A San Francisco-based startup has set out on a mission to not only help you locate a bathroom in any major city, but also a sanitary one. Known as Good2Go, the company launched its first app, which locates and grants access to its safe and high-tech restrooms.

For anyone who travels often, Good2Go helps to eliminate the stress of having to search for a bathroom in an area you’re unfamiliar with. As for businesses, having their location listed as an option on the app helps to increase foot traffic and revenue.

Currently, Good2Go restrooms can be found throughout several locations in San Francisco. Once you download the app, you’ll be able to see a map that tells you where you can find one, how many fellow users of the app are in line, along with directions to the establishment. The app also identifies which locations are closed or offline, as well as further locations where Good2Go will soon be available.

Once you find your preferred location, you can use the app to join a virtual queue and wait without actually having to stand in line. You’ll receive a notification when it’s your turn to go, and you can enter the bathroom via an app-generated QR code. That way, only you will be able to unlock the automatic door. If you don’t have the app but made a purchase at the particular cafe you’re at, you can ask a barista for the code as well.

The main theme with Good2Go bathrooms is they’re all hands-free. The startup installs sinks, lights, hand dryers, and toilets that work by waving your hand across the sensor. While bathrooms have utilized this technology before, it’s rare to see an entire bathroom consist of strictly “touchless” devices. Every Good2Go location is all-gender and includes a baby-changing station.

With so many apps on the market these days, Good2Go isn’t the first of its kind — even though it does have an edge when it comes to cleanliness and modernized facilities. But with locations limited to the San Francisco area, it could be a while until they’re more accessible nationwide. To keep up with its expansion, you can sign up through the company’s website to be notified when the service becomes available in your city.

The Good2Go app is now available on iOS through the App Store with an Android version coming soon. For a limited time, the company is offering a free trial subscription. After that it’s $3 for a day pass, $15 for weekly, $20 for monthly, and $50 for three months.

2020 showed us you don’t need to spend $1,000 to get a great phone
iPhone 12 mini in hand

Flagship phone prices have skyrocketed over the past few years. While 2016's iPhone 7 started at $649, the next year's iPhone X brought the price of a flagship phone to $999, a price point that has remained in the iPhone lineup since. Other companies have followed suit, with the Samsung Galaxy S20 and Note 20 both costing $999, and more expensive models available, too.

But if there's anything we learned in 2020, it's that you don't have to spend that much cash to get a flagship-level experience. In fact, if you can swing a solid $700 or $750, you'll get a near-identical experience to a $1,000 phone, no matter what kind of phone you prefer.
The best iPhone 12 is also the 'worst' iPhone 12
The iPhone 12 series has received excellent reviews, but the reasons they're getting such good reviews are present on all iPhone 12 models. That's to say, you can get the best new iPhone features on the $699 iPhone 12 Mini and the $1,099+ iPhone 12 Pro Max. Beautiful OLED display? Check. Great cameras? Absolutely. 5G support (though who cares, really)? Yep. That awesome new squared-off design that breathes new life into the iPhone series for the first time since the iPhone X? Present.

Fitness trackers come in all shapes and sizes, but did you know that they can also come in the form of rings? If you're interested, you can get the Oura Ring 3, a smart ring that can monitor different kinds of health metrics, with a $50 discount from Best Buy. Instead of its original price of $299, you'll only have to pay $249, but you need to act fast because we're not sure when the offer will end. Add the wearable device to your cart and proceed with the checkout process immediately if you don't want to miss the savings.

Why you should buy the Oura Ring 3
Despite the arrival of the Oura Ring 4, the Oura Ring 3 remains a worthwhile purchase as one of the best fitness trackers that you can buy. According to our Oura Ring 4 versus Oura Ring 3 comparison, the Oura Ring 4 is thinner and lighter, and offers a slightly improved battery, but it shares the same fitness tracking features with the Oura Ring 3, and both are compatible with iOS and Android smartphones. They also both require an Oura membership that costs $6 per month to unlock deeper insights and exclusive features, so the lower price of the Oura Ring 3 compared to the Oura Ring 4 is even more appealing.
