What I do not understand is why everything is always for iphone and android? Unless I am missing something where is the APP for Windows Phone?

How so? I've always just used the Here & Now button first. If I'm not at a park, I use the Things To Do button, and that seems to work pretty well.

Which device are you using? If its an iPhone or iPad, you have to make sure the app is allowed to access location services through the Privacy settings. Not sure if that helps, but I had that problem for a while.

Disney says they intend to add more devices but there are no plans as of now. I can't even run the mobile site on my Lumia 920 so I go to the full web site.

Its not just disney - most websites tend to focus on iphone and android. On my lg 900 windows I cant even get the full disney website. I tried running mydisneymagic from my phone and it is still loading in the background for over an hour pulling up my reservations and activities. so much for mymagic+ lol

I have the apk for the latest version if you want me to email it to you. It's "not compatible" with my tablet through the Play store either, but I can load the apk and it runs just fine.

@SherlockWayne I have an Ipod Touch 5th generation. Sometimes it would work and sometimes it wouldn't.

The full + site works OK on my 920. You just have to zoom in to log on. I went to the logon screen and pinned it. Should be easy enough to make a front end for that. Wonder if Disney would sue me if I did that?

Before there was an "Explore" option, now to get to wait times it's hit the three bars in the top left (menu) select wait times and then it defaults to lowest wait time order. I'd like to see a default setting for each page where you can customize the default view for yourself. After all it is MY Disney Experience.

A few more issues.
Yes, the GPS always has me in Adventureland. If I am at home, at Epcot, or even Earl's, always Adventureland.
The reaction time is crazy slow. Sometimes 2-3 seconda after something is touched, or scrolled. Anti-intuitive.
It fails to show quite a bit of the shows at the parks.
The show time/ride time/meet and greet list is also crazy long. They should be seperated and somehow organized. Now they are all clumped together and have no order at all. When the scroll does not work without a huge delay, it renders the app pointless.

Developers can restrict if the app can be installed on a tablet or phone. This is why there tablet only apps. I had this problem with the contact manager program that my ISP has, before it only installed on my smartphones and not my tablet.
Thanks to the kindness of @lilclerk I was actually able to get it installed on my tablet. Works perfectly and looks awesome on the 10" screen!

Cool, now you just need to install the Andy's Room live wallpaper app.

Sorry, but Windows Phone sucks. iPhone is the gold standard for smart phones and Android is an acceptable imatation, but Windows Phone will never get any love unfortunately.
EDIT: Blackberry sucks now too. I feel sorry for anyone who is still stuck with one.

If you select Things To Do, you can select where you want to go by park. This will allow you to see all wait times. In the parks, Here and Now seems to work best. I like the idea of customized views, it wouldn't surprise me if its in the works.
