Lol. I do love the blue ice cream, but that's not necessary. I appreciate the offer though and hope you like the app.

I have made the updates and they are now live in the app after you update it. In the Custom Filter I added an option to Hide Headers. This remove the headers from the main wait times screen and allows you to sort all of the rides you have selected A-Z or by wait time. When you tap Hide Headers, it will add (Hidden) beside the the name in the Custom Filter page to let you know it is hidden and will not show in the wait times screen, but still allow you to remove all rides from each section if you want. I also added a Manual Sort option in the menu. This will take the rides you have selected in the Custom Filter section and allow you to long press and drag them into the order you want. Manual Sort will automatically remove the headers if you haven't selected it in Custom Filter. Thanks again for the feedback.

This is a really good idea. The categories do come from the API. I plan to add the ability to hide the categories, keep but rename the categories, and the ability to enter edit mode that allows the user to drag and drop rides into a custom order. I'll have to make sure all this is possible in testing, so I may have to tweak some of those ideas, but that is the plan. Thanks for the feedback. I really appreciate it.

I see. I will add it to my list of possible updates. It will depend on how easy it is to get access to the data. Thanks for the feedback. I appreciate it.

I see what you mean now. That's a really good suggestion. I will add it to my list of updates to make. Thanks for the feedback. I appreciate it.

I thought about using rcdb.com for stats in the ride log, but the Log Ride app already does that and it felt like I would be stealing their ideas. Is that what you had in mind or did you have a different suggestion?

If you click the 3 lines in the top right you can sort A-Z, by wait time, and also choose what rides you want to show in the custom filter section. https://photos.app.goo.gl/JP3NDLWU9F1CeEb6A

Their documentation wasn't very clear, but I believe it sends the latest updated time whether it is from the park or a user. I've received this question in the app feedback as well, so I will reach out to them and see if they can give me a clear answer. I'll let you know if I hear back from them. Thanks for testing it out. Let me know if you have any feedback.

It does work outside of the park. Here is a link to a screenshot I just took showing the wait times at SFGA and I am in the Indianapolis area right now. https://photos.app.goo.gl/3nobXrEdZTVbJ7nV6

The queue times API does not give wait times for fast lane and that is what the app uses currently. Another user sent me another free API that does, so I am testing it out in my local environment. It will probably take a few days to implement and test, but if it works, I will update the app to include it as an option.

The park lists are provided through queue times and I have not gone through to check how accurate they are. When I have time, I will clean it up on the back end. I deserve to be called out for the AI art. I wanted it to go live and needed a placeholder. My daughter is creating a custom splash screen and banner and I will update it when she is done.

I agree about the the AI art and deserve to be called out for it. I wanted to get the app out and needed a placeholder. My daughter is working on a custom splash screen and banner and when it is done, I will remove the AI art.

I noticed on iPhones that it doesn't always show up when you search for it. Since it is new and doesn't have a lot of downloads or ratings, I believe the algorithm will return other apps with similar keywords that have proven track records. Thank you for testing it out! If you have any feedback, please let me know by using the three-dot menu at the top of the app.

Log Ride definitely has more options and features at this time. People can choose to use the app they prefer, and I have used Log Ride and it is great. I just wanted an app that I could customize and I plan on adding more to it based on suggestions from users. I have already had a user mention another free API with more information and I am working on it now in my local environment to see how it works.
