Board mode, and a bigger widget for iPad. • Board mode: tap Wait board on a park's page and its live waits fill the screen. On iPad in landscape a tip-board panel joins them: the park clock, today's hours and crowd level, the next shows and fireworks, and a countdown to your park days. The screen stays awake, so an iPad on the nightstand becomes a park sign. The full board comes with a day pass or the annual membership. • iPad: the Park Wait Board widget now comes in Extra Large, with each ride's Lightning Lane return time. • The widget refreshes at park opening and counts Early Entry as open, so the morning board no longer sits on last night's "Closed". • Park days: add the dates of your next visit from the Home tab, the widget or the board, and count down to it. Free for everyone, no pass needed. • Holiday offer: through December 31, new members get their first year of the Annual Membership for $19.99 (£19.99 in the UK), then $34.99 a year. The Get Passes screen shows the price you'll pay. • Wait board is easier to find: a labelled button on every park's page, and a Wait board entry under Settings that opens any park.

Lightning Lane drop alerts. • Switch on "Lightning Lane drop alerts" for any ride you're watching, and RideAlert pings you when its sold-out Multi Pass or Single Pass comes back, with the next return time (and the Single Pass price). Slots can be gone within minutes, so the alert says so and you book it in My Disney Experience. • The live board and the threshold editor now show each ride's current Lightning Lane status. • The toggle is saved per ride, like your thresholds, so it's set once and holds across visits. • Closed rides and shows now say what's next on the live board: "First show at 11:45 AM", "Opens at 12:00 PM", "Back at 7:00 PM". • The Live Monitoring header shows today's park hours and crowd level next to the park name. • The Park Wait Board widget's free preview now includes the park's top ride and its live wait. • Fixed: rides no longer announce "Open for the day" when they open on their normal schedule (Early Entry included), when a show's theater opens ahead of its first performance, or when an evening event reopens them after park close. The alert is now only for a genuinely delayed opening.

A wait board for your Home Screen, and down-time counters on the live board. • New: the Park Wait Board widget. Add it to your Home Screen or StandBy, pick a park, and see live waits for its headliner rides, today's hours and the crowd level. The full board is part of any day pass or the annual membership. • Down rides show a running counter on the live board, even when they went down before you started monitoring. • The Back Open alert for a ride that was already down when you started monitoring now includes how long it was down and the expected wait drop.

• Every screen redesigned in the RideAlert sunset palette with new typography and cleaner cards • Configure Rides groups rides by status (operating, down, closed) and pins Start Monitoring so it is always one tap away • One threshold editor everywhere, and the wait-history charts now show the day's crowd level next to yesterday's and today's curves • Day Passes: the annual membership up front, clearer per-day pricing on packs • Onboarding and the app tour refreshed to match

- Crowd-aware defaults (Beta): default thresholds now adjust dynamically to how busy the park actually is and each park card shows today's crowd level. - Your custom thresholds always win. Set a threshold once and it stays, day after day. Each ride is labeled custom, dynamic, or default so you can see which is which. - Retuned defaults at all 10 parks from six months of real wait history + fixes to ride names as applicable - Magic Kingdom party nights use party-crowd thresholds.

Polish and fixes: cleaner Universal park icons, refined wait-time charts, and minor improvements.

-Universal parks are here. RideAlert now watches wait times at Universal Studios Florida, Islands of Adventure, Epic Universe, and Universal Studios Hollywood — same alerts, same wrist notifications. -Keep your session going. When your pass is about to run out mid-day, you can now add another pass without stopping — your watched rides and alerts carry over, no gap. -Jump back in faster. Your last park is one tap from the home screen, and starting a session is smoother when your pass is already active. -Fixed: a rare issue where a purchase could be charged without the pass being applied — affected passes now restore automatically the next time you open the app.

- Your thresholds now stick across sessions. Set Pirates of the Caribbean to 20 min, leave the park, come back next week - that 20 is still there. No more rebuilding your alert preferences every time you start monitoring - Two new reset options when you want a do-over: tap "Reset to default" in any ride's threshold editor, or "Reset all" at the top to clear every saved threshold for that park at once - Live Monitoring rides are now sorted by wait time within each section, lowest first, so the rides most likely to be actionable bubble to the top

We've added a short guided tour for new users. It walks you through picking a park, choosing rides, setting your alert threshold, and starting monitoring — so the core flow is clear before you head into a park. Already used the app? You can replay the tour anytime from Settings → Help & share → "Replay app tour." Plus minor polish and fixes.

- Your passes and subscription now stay with you if you reinstall the app or get a new iPhone - Fixed an issue where notifications couldn't be re-enabled after declining during setup - Behind-the-scenes reliability improvements

- Disneyland Resort is now supported — track Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure alongside Walt Disney World - New Annual Membership: unlimited monitoring at every park for $34.99/year, or stick with day passes — your call - Refreshed Headliners lineup across every park - Park hours, charts, and history now display in each park's local time zone - Visual polish: new park icons and a warmer button style

Improvements - Wait-time history charts now appear when configuring thresholds before you start monitoring — see yesterday's and today's wait patterns to set smarter targets. - Park hours shown on each park card (opening time, closing time, and early entry when available) - Chart x-axis is now fixed to 7 AM – midnight so yesterday and today are always visually comparable. - Monitoring tab now auto-detects when your pass expires and removes inactive sessions — no more stale "monitoring active" display. - Recent alerts section labeled and filtered to the last hour only, so old alerts don't clutter the monitoring view. - Thresholds now trigger at or equal to your target (e.g., a 5-min threshold fires when the ride hits 5 min). Labels updated to "Alert ≤ X min" throughout. - Push notification wording updated to "Hit your X min threshold." - Fixed timeout error dialogs when opening the app from a notification.

Bug fixes and reliability improvements: - Sessions now sync with the server on every app launch — if the app lost track of your monitoring (background kill, etc.), it recovers automatically. No more "disappeared sessions" while alerts keep firing - Thresholds now trigger at or equal to your target, not just below it. A 5-minute threshold on a ride that never drops below 5 now actually fires. - Fixed the "Request timed out" error dialog that popped up when opening the app from a notification. - Threshold labels updated to "Alert ≤ X min" to match the new behavior.

New: wait-time history charts - Tap any ride on the Monitoring tab to see yesterday's and today's wait-time graphs. Trough markers show when waits were lowest. Drag the threshold slider and watch the reference line move on the charts - set smarter thresholds based on real data. Improvements - Monitoring tab is always visible with an empty state when no sessions are active. - Stop Monitoring now asks for confirmation before stopping. - Day Passes tab supports pull-to-refresh. - Pass expiry shows "today" or "tomorrow" for clarity. - Mode label shows "Headliners", "Custom List", or "All Rides" based on what you selected. - Privacy and support links now point to ridealertapp.com. - App checks for updates on launch and prompts if a newer version is available.

- Smarter alerts: wait-time drops now keep pinging you as the queue keeps shrinking, not just on the first drop. - New rapid-climb alert when a ride's wait jumps sharply — catch capacity issues before queues get capped. - Ride-down alerts silenced in the last hour before park close (those were usually just normal closings). - Free trial is now 5 hours of active monitoring — enough for most of a park day. - Day Passes screen now shows your trial and day-pass balance separately, plus when your active pass expires. - Monitoring tab reorganized: recent alerts at the top, rides grouped by below/above threshold, N/A rides tucked at the bottom. - Tapping a notification now opens the right tab. - New FAQ and "Tell a friend" in Settings - Various bug fixes including the spurious "data couldn't be read" dialog after changing a threshold.

Faster, smarter ride monitoring: • Wait-time alerts now keep firing as a queue keeps shrinking — no more silence after the first drop notification. • Configure monitoring before park open: rides that haven't started operating yet are now selectable in the picker. • Get a 30-minute heads-up before your day pass expires, plus a notification when it ends. • Wait times refresh instantly when you start monitoring a park — no more waiting up to 5 minutes for the first update. • Monitoring tab now groups rides by below / above threshold so alert-worthy rides stand out. • Fixed: tapping "Buy" repeatedly no longer queues up duplicate Apple Pay sheets.
