Best Free APP for line waits?

I downloaded three free apps (Android) and am wondering which is the best.

I understand how the apps work, that times are entered by people at the park and that they're not very reliable.

Just wondering if one is MORE reliable than another one.

Disneyland Wait Times
Disneyland Inside Out (looks to me that it's hardly used)
Mousewait

OR is there another app that is better. Even a paid one?
 
Disneyland Wait Times worked the best for us on our trip last month. I submitted times when I remembered and it was super easy. Some others make you sign up for an account and log in to be able to submit times. Remember, these systems are only as good as the info fed into them, so please submit times when you remember. For the most part, the posted times were fairly accurate.

Mousewait, which used to be good, was a big disappointment. It would hardly work and I've found it to be the biggest contributor to battery drain on my Nexus 5 running Android 4.4.2. Too bad because I liked how they would have FP return times posted, which would have helped for planning now that return times are enforced.

I've never tried any of the others. My wife and brother have used others on their iPhones and they seem to work as well as Disneyland Wait Times.
 
I found on Wednesday that none were accurate except for Dumbo. Just go look at the sign that Disney provides at the park, it's usually very close. I think people enter numbers in the app just to keep people from getting in line. It noted Star Tours at 75 minutes, and we walked on the ride in about 20 minutes.
 
I will start out be saying it is "not" free, but I like DLR lines app. No wait time apps are perfect, but I found this one to be the most useful and accurate. I like that users can post FP return times with it.
 

I concur that none of the wait time apps are going to necessarily be accurate. Sometimes one is better than the other, but none are consistently better because they rely on guests in the parks to keep them updated. So it all depends on how many folks are updating the times and how accurate the guest supplied information is. For example, do you post the time stated at the start of the queue? The time it actually took you in line?

I've used Mousewaits, Disneyland Wait Times and a couple of others. In the end, I've found it most useful to have several and then compare times. If all are reporting about the same amount of time, that's probably not a bad estimate. If they're wildly different, then there is no way to know what the time is except to either go to the ride or the times board in the park.

This is a great idea.

Thanks ya'll!
 
I used mousewait till they changed their design. Now it is way too slow and less people are updating wait times. Def not what it once was
 
I've found MouseWait to be pretty accurate for wait times but it's glitchy and I'll usually end up having to shut it down and reopen it several times a day.
