best wait time app

What is your favorite DLR wait time app? In the past we've used mouse wait. But is there something better? Thanks!

Official Disneyland app

Mousewait use to be the best but the official Disneyland app really has taken over as the best app on android.

I like Magic Guide because it allows you to save all your favorite rides which it then displays on one page right when you open the app. No scrolling or clicking. If you can do the same on the official app (I haven't figured out how), then the Disney app is the way to go. But for a quick glance at the wait times, I like the magic guide.

When we were there last month, the official Disneyland app was surprisingly accurate (WDW's is often not accurate). We wound up not using anything else.

The Disneyland app is pretty amazing.

DL app hands down. Everything you need right there in one app and the times posted are the same as the times posted at the lines (maybe a few min delay as things update).

I also like the official app. The wait time estimates are (generally) what you'll find on the Times Boards or signs outside the attraction (with a short lag time). I also like that they have the current FP return times listed in the official app.

Mousewait isn't very accurate.

The official DL app is great, and it's nice because you also have your reservations on the same app. It also links your Photopass Plus if you have one.

I have Lines as well and like it better on one thing -- it lists the times, including FP info, all on one screen, so you don't have to click through to the individual attraction to find what you're looking for like you do on the DL app, which doesn't list FP times on the main screen. So I thought it was much easier to use.

Having said that, I found one major problem with Lines. While I was there, it didn't accurately reflect when certain attractions were closed for parades and such. For instance, when I was trying to ride Storybookland shortly before a parade started, Lines was showing it open even though it closed an hour before parade time. So sometimes I used Lines then double checked DL.

I did find Lines often more accurately reflected actual wait times than the DL app. For instance, one time the posted time at Splash was 35 minutes. Both the DL app and the Lines app showed 35 minutes posted, but Lines also showed 20 minutes estimated actual wait, which turned out to be correct.

the official disneyland app was AWESOME while we were there earlier this month. We used it for ADRs, fastpass return times, wait times, character meets, nearest bathrooms, and even when we wanted to find something specific like where the closest stuffed pretzel was! I'm glad I brought an external charger because we used the app and snapchat all day and my phone wouldn't have made it past noon otherwise. no need for any other app!
