Universal/IOA phone app?

[Corbie]

Just DL-ed MDE app on my cell and noticed several apps for Universal. Sounds like a good idea, but I don't want to clog up my phone. Is there a preferred app to use that will enable us to check wait times or use express, etc.?

The Official Universal Orlando Resort App is the official one. I never tried any others. Seemed easiest to go to the source.
Word of caution! My battery was draining so fast in the park. I finally discovered that it was using my location all the time and running in the background. Don't let it do that! Set Location services while using only. It really helps and doesn't affect performance.

I use the official app and Touring Plans Lines app.

I loved the Touring Plans/Lines app. We used it constantly over the past 3 days. Did the HP/2 park tours the first day...loved it for checking show times and ride info throughout the day. Easy to modify/skip/add steps. Did the one park tours/deleted all the HP rides for next 2 days as we would go back at night into the HP areas. Our day in USF didn't even start until 2pm and went without a hitch or a long wait. AND the book is an interesting read...Unofficial guide Universal Studios. Great ride tips (where to sit, miss/don't miss evaluations).

The Lines apps tend to be more precise, as users submit the actual wait times as well as the posted wait times.

I have both the official and unofficial apps for both Universal and WDW though.
