Enter how many people (or groups) are ahead of you, then tap "+1 moved" as the line advances. The app predicts your remaining wait using Bayesian estimation. Right after you join, accuracy is low. It improves as the line moves. Great for first-come, first-served lines - popular restaurants, food stalls, food trucks, pop-up shops, and checkout lines. * Contains ads
