Good idea - BAD execution.
MertN94
This app could be so much better if the set-up was more sensible. The buttons and options are frustratingly vague and non-intuitive. The instructions are bloated. Moving from recording scene/playing scene/ editing/adding characters/playback options takes multiple trial and error, even after using the app several times. Options are ok, but hidden in a maze of swiping, toggling, and drop-downs. Too much time spent navigating the app than rehearsing lines.
Exactly What I Needed/Right Price
Ken M.
I mulled over the line learning apps, and eventually settled here based on the reviews. I am VERY glad I did! I can't fathom dumping $20 on a competing app when this took care of all of my needs quickly & easily. For the price, it got me off book nearly immediately. Finally having the ability to hear recorded lines and follow along while on the bus, or the street, or in the car via the speakers is wondrous. This is a very smart actor's tool! Highly recommend!
Extremely useful but clumsy navigation
Steven Hendrickson
This app has been a lifesaver! Very simple and intuitive to use. However, if I have a lot of lines to learn, say for Sidney Bruhl in "Deathtrap," I run into trouble. "Deathtrap" has hundreds of lines and navigation between scenes becomes clumsy. The section links don't work, at least on my iPhone and iPad. I have six scenes in two acts and the section links either take me to scene 1 or 2 of first scene or to a blank screen. As a result, in order to reach the later scenes I have to scroll though all previous lines and scenes which becomes frustrating. A useful update would be the option of opening up and collapsing down scenes to their headers by tapping the header. Otherwise, a wonderful app!
Worth it

I like the app and use it. I appreciate the improvements seen over time. I would love to see an option where I can play only my lines without having to record a version of the script that way. Sometimes I just want to drill my lines without the cues.
Fabulous Program

This program was a lifesaver for me! I like that you can play back all lines or have it leave a gap and then it plays your lines (or even just a gap without your lines). I recorded it on my Ipad and was able to work on my lines via bluetooth in my car and also using headphones at other times. It was VERY easy to use (unlike another I had downloaded and given up on before I bought this one). Much better than just a recording app because of the ability to play back your lines in different modes. I have recommended it to all my fellow performers!
Love it!

I've used this app to memorize lines for a few years now. It's great! I did use a tape recorder, but this is so much more convenient. Can't do without it!
Very Good App For Actors!

I've used this app for a little over a year now and find it the perfect aide for memorization. I learn my lines on the street, train and anywhere I can put on my headphones. I'd like to see how they can make it better though.
exactly what I was looking for

I feel like I’ve found gold with this app. I thought I was going to have to hire an app developer to make my own line memorization tool, but lo!, I do not. I work by recording all lines of text in monotone and replaying to learn by rote with voice memos. I have always wanted to be able to silence out my own lines in the recording to fill them in myself and this app does it! And when you forget your line, you hit “Prompt” (could say ‘Line?!’, like how an actor calls out) and it plays your next line. Boom. It can even be set to play your line AFTER a pause of same length, so you can double-check. It’s functionally exactly what I was looking for. I docked a star because I find the interface somewhat confusing and the workflow for editing not intuitive (not being able to playback/preview a line in the editing page, for example, when we don’t know line numbers). I expect this app to develop beautifully with feedback and as the word spreads. It’s basically having a scene reader in your pocket. You could even record with the other actors for extra fancy times.
The best memorization app EVER
JollyRogers247022896
If you're looking to memorize efficiently and effectively. This is the app for you. Well worth the $4. It is a must have for every actor or actress. I was having trouble with memorization and some actors told me about this app. I use it multiple times a day. I wish I would have known about this app a long time ago. It is fantastic! Definitely a 5 star app. If you get it I promise you won't regret it.
Pitch Tweak
John Zinzi
Such a great little app! I've used Line Learner successfully for years now and it does a great job. There is a feature that would really help: if the playback for the "Others" lines could be tweaked with a voice-changer pitch control then I could record both my lines and others quickly and play it back and have it sound like two different people doing the scene. Right now I find it best to have someone else record others' lines--often someone not in the show-- but doing it myself is quicker and more in context. As it is now, my own voice on both sides (especially in the early part of the process) can be confusing. Thanks!
