Helping you avoid frustratingly long lines, the Waitbot app tells you exactly where there are long queues in your area. The app aggregates crowdsourced data in order to find where the wait times are long. As a result, you can avoid patronizing establishments that have lines stretching out the door.
The app works by taking data from social media sources, personal GPS position data and business reports in order to give you a live estimate of queue times for retail locations. An algorithm interprets all of that data so that users can save time. If you're getting lunch, the app can help you choose a location with a short line. If you're planning on shopping, Waitbot can inform you when the best time to go is.
