Default Best Disney and DVC Apps for iPhone

Hi, We are going to Disney World and Disneyland in September and I was wondering if there were any REALLY GOOD apps for Disney and DVC. At the moment I have GotPlans, WDW Dining, WDW Guide and DVC Planner. I think these apps are all third party.
Does Disney have any official apps for vacation planning and DVC?

As a DVC member I like D point. It tracks your member points and has the points for each location. So when you are planning your trip you can see how many points are needed and how many you have remaining. I really like this app.

Thanks mate. Can you only download this app from iTunes?

I like D Point as well -- I also really love Mouse Memo -- it allows you to keep track of hotel information, dining and special event reservations, and flight info -- it keeps you organized on vacation!

I can't download Disney Mobile Magic. It must only be available in the US Apple Store. Not fair

We are big fans of Touring Plans. While it requires a subscription to have all features enabled I feel it is well worth. You create your own touring plan and optimize the plan when you enter the park. Saves a ton of time.

Sorry, didn't notice your location when I posted. Mobile Magic is designed to be used while in the Theme Parks and gives real time attraction wait times and FP return times being issued.

I suspect Disney made this US only because the need for a data connection. There is no public WiFi access in the Theme Parks.

I use the Undercover Tourist app. It has a nice look and feel. I assume all the apps have wait times, maps, and attraction descriptions. This app also has restaurant menus to help plan your meals.
