Keeps crashing

Come on guys if your professionals and you care about your craft, put out a good product… Pretty hard to go ahead and rehearse when I got a focus more on your app then on my lines!
Awesome until it deleted all my scenes

I love this and the concept of this so much. Helped me learn my lines and other's lines really well so I knew exactly when to come in with mine, BUT it had now erased all my scenes. Very frustrating.
Great app for learning lines

I've used this for two plays so far and plan to make it my go to line learner. The developer is very responsive and fixes any issues rapidly. Highly recommended!
Excellent for learning lines

Very easy to use - the training videos are exceptional. If you don’t want to record each character separately, you can always just record your lines and “others.”
Great app for the working actor!

I want to tell you about this awesome app I found while trying to learn lines to 15 mini scripts. It was created by an actor faced with the same dilemmas I was facing with no one to rehearse with. It has a very simple interface. I didn’t need to view the videos to figure out how to use it. With a few learning lessons after my lines were not saved, it becomes second nature. For those not technologically inclined, I highly recommend the videos. You don’t have to do the traditional upload of a paper script like other apps do. It’s a bit tedious at firs, as you have to record every characters’ line with your voice. You tell it which character you are reading for, then you can have it run all the lines (even yours) so you can recite with it or you can tell it to mute your lines. It can also ding every time to prompt your turn to read your line. This way your brain learns when it’s your turn to speak. When I had a tough few sentences to memorize, I ran it in the car on my way to set & had it repeat my line over & over until I kept in sync with my own voice recording. When I nailed it, I went on to the next line. It has been very handy for my most recent gig. There is a fee, if you want to back up your data in case you lose your phone or something happens to it. I am able to log in from my phone or iPad after syncing it to the cloud. You can also collaborate with your other cast members when they subscribe as well. Steven, the creator, is very responsive to emails, so compliments are very appreciated on his end. Try it today. You will wish you had tried it a long time ago!!!!
An essential tool for actors

I’ll get the bad stuff out of the way because there isn’t much. The interface is a bit of a mess. It’s not very appealing and usability is pretty poor. That’s it. Everything else about the app is great once you learn your way around. You have to record your lines and your cues which takes a bit of time but once that’s out of the way it’s well worth it. There are several configurable playback settings and you organize your sides in works (play, show, etc.) and scenes. This tool cuts my prep time in half and I don’t need to bug friends to read for me. I highly recommend this app.
