Rides that are down, closed or not yet open are marked as such. - [Ride alerts](https://parkypass.com/features/ride-alerts) (Free and Gold): Parky ride alerts watch a ride for you and send a notification when its posted wait drops to the number you chose, or when a ride that was down reopens, so you can stop refreshing a wait-time app. - [Queue timer](https://parkypass.com/features/queue-timer) (Free): Parky's queue timer records the wait you actually stood in rather than the number the board posted, and runs on the Lock Screen, in the Dynamic Island and on Apple Watch while your phone is in your pocket. - [Wait history and forecasts](https://parkypass.com/features/wait-history) (Gold): Parky charts each attraction's posted wait across the whole day, next to what it usually posts at that hour, so you can tell whether a 45-minute wait is a bargain or a trap and when the line is likely to be shortest. - [Ride tracking](https://parkypass.com/features/ride-tracking) (Free): Parky tracks the rides you complete. Every attraction you finish earns a hand-drawn stamp, and each park day keeps its rides, real waits, park hops and photos in order on a timeline. - [Theme park stats and Pass](https://parkypass.com/features/theme-park-stats) (Free): The Parky Pass keeps every visit in one personal record: park days, hours inside the gates, parks visited, most-ridden attractions, longest waits survived and time saved, season after season. You can share it at your own parkypass.com address. - [Lightning Lane and Express](https://parkypass.com/features/lightning-lane-and-express) (Free and Gold): Parky shows priority-access availability where a park provides it, in the park's own vocabulary: Lightning Lane return times at Disney and Universal Express at Universal, beside the standby wait. - [Halloween Horror Nights](https://parkypass.com/features/halloween-horror-nights) (Free): Parky has Halloween Horror Nights boards for Universal Orlando and Universal Studios Hollywood, with live house wait times, the houses you have finished, and a personal tier list you can share. - [Apple Watch](https://parkypass.com/features/apple-watch) (Gold): Parky's Apple Watch app shows live park boards and the queue you are currently timing on your wrist, so you can check a wait without taking your phone out. - [Crowd calendar](https://parkypass.com/features/crowd-calendar) (Free): Parky's crowd calendar gives every Disney and Universal park a 1 to 10 crowd level for each of the next 30 days, from park hours, event nights, Lightning Lane and Express prices, school breaks and holidays, and it grades itself against real waits every night. ## Disney and Universal questions ### What is the best companion app for Disney and Universal parks?
