Anyone use app for park wait times?

Heading for our first trip Memorial Day weekend. Thanks for all the great advice here that has help enormously with reservations and planning.
Does anyone here use an app while in the park for wait times on rides?
I have both lines (UT app) and the official Universal app. Maybe there is another that I am not aware of that is recommended.
TIA!

Universal app is pretty accurate. I have another that is ok but nowhere near as accurate as the UO app.

Thanks, exactly the information I am looking for.

My regular PSA- the Universal app is great but a battery killer as (at least on iPhones) it uses your location even when not using the app. I really think that hurts your battery life. On day 2, after the battery died so fast on day 1, I tried putting it in airplane mode that helped some.
Otherwise, take a portable battery charge pack so you can charge on the go, no need to plug in to a wall.

i had that problem also with the battery on my iphone.
no longer use it and just check the neon signs in the parks for time waits

It is a battery killer. I just turn off the automatic refresh. I really don't use the app but have checked it multiple times on multiple visits to check for accuracy. I do check it from home though...
