DLR Lines ap (wait times) was wrong 90% of the time

I used to rely on this ap, supplementing with the official Disneyland ap.
This past trip (last week/Marathon weekend), I swear, it was rarely right. Rarely.

Anyone else having this experience? It used to be so accurate. 10 minute times were actually 45, etc.
We gave up after a few days and decided it was worthless.

Truthfully, I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of the third party wait times apps have seen a slippage in usage since Disneyland debuted their official app with wait times. A number of the free wait times app need in-park guests to update the wait times, so as more folks start using the official app, I could see where the third-party ones would be updated less often. I used to use a couple of different ones, but since DL came out with their app, I've rarely used any other app.

In terms of DLR Lines app, isn't that the one associated with Touring Plans? From their website "Trust Our Data We've been researching Disney crowds for over ten years. Our Disneyland wait times use real-time data sent in by users and statistical models prepared by a professional statistician to estimate how long you'll actually wait in line." I know they've been having trouble predicting crowds since the start of the 60th Celebration (and before, but really noticeably after the start), so perhaps that may have also trickled down to the wait time predictions.

Official app is the best, not perfect, but the best.

Plus, things change. You check the app and then 2 min later three highschools get in the line, no much that can be done about that.

We were there the same time (in the parks 5/6 to 5/10) and they were sort of close most of the time.
