Play explores friendship's trials

WHAT'S IN STORE

Never get lost at the mall again

You know the feeling. You're exploring a strange mall and all of a sudden, nature calls. The panic drove the creation of a new iPhone app designed just to show you the quickest route, not only to particular stores, but to the nearest restroom.

FastMall, available through the iTunes store, acts like a GPS for restroom breaks, giving turn-by-turn directions, with escalators or elevator-only options geared toward parents with strollers or individuals with any type of walking disability.

The app also allows you to find your parking spot, though you'll need the iPhone 3.1.2 software update to download it.

FastMall will not only help you find the bathroom, a store, an elevator and your parking spot, it will allow you to download coupons to be redeemed in-store while you shop.

FastMall includes maps of malls across the nation. In Hawaii, Ala Moana Center is the first to have the service.
