iPoo app a 'conversation starter'

More than 300,000 people have downloaded a mobile phone app that allows people to share their experiences while on the toilet.

The iPoo app costs $1 and has been in demand by those keen to occupy themselves while sitting on the loo and doing their business.

Users are able to easily share ideas with other toilet-goers and even see where they are located in the world.

Amit Khanna - one of two men from Toronto who designed the app, with the other wishing to remain anonymous - believes the app is a "conversation starter".

He said: "Imagine that you’re on the can, and think about the things that you would maybe want to do.

“I’m not ashamed of it whatsoever — it’s a conversation starter.”
