A lifesaver!

Talk about VIP treatment! Development team is absolutely incredible - they reached out immediately to help me set up our trip and from there, everything flowed like a dream! The live notifications are INCREDIBLE. I seriously loved them so much during a busy park day. Cannot recommend trying this app enough!

Incredible time saver

I hesitate to review this because I want to keep it a secret. Game changer for our Disney trip. And the developer texted right back when I had questions!

We could hop off one ride and have two more waiting for us… 🙌

Happy to hear Standby was put to work! Cheers!

16 Lightning Lanes in 1 day!!!

I’ve used Standby Skipper in the past and it’s gotten me some lightning lanes, but nothing like this. The fact that it was able to constantly get me earlier return times helped my family and I hit three parks in one day. It was able to get slinky dog dash, rock ‘n’ roll roller coaster, Tiana’s, and even Peter Pans flight.

With the addition of having all of the wait times and being able to see the return times on my lock screen totally took the stress out out of our day.

We went from stressing that we won’t do enough, to stress stressing that we had too much to.

Great app!!!

Thank you so much for the kind words! Happy to hear you got so many return times!

This is the best Disney parks planning app!

I love this app! I love that it will track my time spent in the park without me having to log it. The best part is that the booking agent will book lightning lanes for me throughout the day, which allows me to keep my phone in my pocket and enjoy more face to face time with my family instead of having my face in my phone. This app is the best-kept secret of your Disney day!

Thank you so much for the kind words – we're thrilled Standby is helping you spend more time with family and less time on your phone! We appreciate you taking the time to share this.

Lightning Lane!!

Latest update utilizes Lightning Lane and cycles down your wait times! I got on all the big rides in just under a couple hours. HUGE time saver!
Awesome update!!

I appreciate your kind words!

Theme Park Local

I’ve been using Standby on my theme park days and it’s quickly turned into one of those apps I open before I even get through the turnstiles. Being able to set my own max wait and get alerts when times drop has already saved me from wasting time in lines I don’t need to be in. The show reminders and live activities on the Lock Screen make it really easy to keep track of what’s coming up without constantly digging through the park app. I had a question for the developer and the response I got felt genuinely personal and thoughtful, which is rare enough that it deserves calling out. Between how well it works in the parks and how the person behind it treats customers, it’s an easy 5 stars from me.

Everything I want and more

When I open the app, it by default navigate me to the park I’m inside of. Simple user interface, solid alerts.

Thank you so much for the kind words! Is there anything you don't like about Standby we can improve? Happy to hear you enjoyed it.

No ads!

Love that the developer put the users before the dollars. Shows integrity and genuine appreciation for his users!
I love this app and its simplicity, happy to pay the menial amount to have the full options.
Nice work!

Wouldn’t Travel to Orlando Without It.

Saved me about an hour each day at Disney, didn’t go to universal but I can image it’d do the same. Was very simple to use.

Response from developer

Thank you very much for the kind review!

Good app - needs some work

I’m giving a 5 star review for the app because it’s new, so I don’t want to hurt its growth as I want to see it expand. I think it’s a missed opportunity that parks like Cedar Point haven’t been added yet, as this app primarily appeals to enthusiasts as opposed to the average visitor of a park, so adding those parks should be a priority. Additionally, only allowing one notification on the free plan is likely going to limit future growth/use of the app. I understand that the app’s development costs time and money and there should be a way for the developer to earn money from this, but I worry that paywalling this feature will restrict who uses this app and lead to less people utilizing the app. These are meant to be constructive feedback points since I’m really excited to see the future of this app!

Rilaye, Thanks a ton for the feedback. I really appreciate it, and I agree about adding more parks. Currently I am working on an update that will likely be pushed in the coming days. It will allow me to remotely add theme parks across the globe without needing to update the app. As for the 1 active notification, I do understand why 1 may not seem like a lot because it’s not. The struggle is I would rather have an ad free experience for everyone, rather than a free tier with ads. Giving users a taste of Standby or even just using it for a few days while on vacation, means the world. However it’s very difficult to monetize the app without advertisements everywhere. Thanks again for the feedback!

Great app!

This app is all I hoped for. This helped me get through countless lines quickly on my trip to Disney and Orlando.

Response from developer

Thanks so much! Really glad Standby helped you navigate those lines. Curious, what’s the one thing that would’ve made it a 5-star experience for you? Always looking to make it better.

Awesome App!!

As soon as I opened this app I knew it was going to be special. Clean, simple, easy, and NO ADDs! As it says, “It’s made for the riders, not the shareholders”.
I used it for almost the whole time I was at Disney and the wait times were dead accurate. The premium subscription is cheap and worth every Penney. Having it sit right on my screen without having to open and close the app every time is a really neat option.
You won’t be sorry trying this out.
