I got the app hoping it would take the characters and give each of them their own voice. I downloaded my script and it was a narrator. The entire script nothing else. And I clicked on the settings for it to not read the names multiple times and it still kept doing it. I assumed that most of this was with the pro version. So I bought the pro version and had the same trouble. Nothing changed and I could only get one voice to narrate the entire thing. Waste of money.

Got this app so I can listen to screenplays during car rides and I can’t even do that. It has issues reading the text, formating the text, and even reads the pages out of order. What a shame and waste of time.

Been looking for a script reading program. Finally managed to get a script imported, and it wants to SING the script to me in a very computer generated voice. I can't find anywhere to change the voice. I can bring up a big list of voices with preview and download buttons, but no matter what I click on it just sings it to me in the same computer voice. I'll *try* the pro version, but I'm not a professional script reader. I'm a writer who is on the final draft of my script and just need it read to me to pick up errors I may have missed while reading it on paper. UPDATE: It wasn't clear that the free version used the voice applied to a setting on the iPhone, and not a voice chosen in the app.

Don’t get this app.

I use this all the time to read scripts. Love it I can hike and read a script! But lately it keeps skipping back scenes and I listen and realize I already read that scene so it’s sort of like listening to Groundhog Day. If it would stop going that I would give it 5 stars.

This is an invaluable tool for playwrights. I've used it to get a sense of how my play sounds while I'm still writing it, during the revision process. Of course it's always best to have it read by live actors, but it's not feasible to get something like that together repeatedly, especially in the early drafts. I can't recommend Tableread enough for use as a revision tool. Well worth the subscription!

I had been looking for a decent reader for scripts so I could listen to them while driving or while unable to devote my attention to a script. This was recommended online through a NoFilmSchool article, so I downloaded it and imported the script easy enough. The Free version worked well enough, but about 5pages in stopped. It told me I had to wait for an ad to finish playing, but there was no ad. I refreshed the app twice, same issue. I decided to pay the $2.99 to try the Pro version, and luckily the free trial was available. The Pro version worked much better, but still had some issues. Assigned voices wouldn’t always take, so characters would sound like each other until I manually set them a time or two. The script paused multiple times while playing with my screen off, and when I opened the app would reset to up to 20 pages EARLIER in the script. The app crashed once, and the overall functionality and navigation reminds me more of a pre-iOS 6 app. Not bad at all, very useful in a pinch, but it isn’t going to be my go-to app for everything in the future if I can find something better.

Downloaded this app to learn lines for an upcoming play. Saw all of the features it listed and was going to purchase Pro after trying it out. Unfortunately, I never was able to use it. When I try to import any script into the app, it immediately crashes. When I re-open the app, it shows that the script is there, but when I try to open the script, it crashes again. All scripts are in PDF files and are able to be opened in similar text parse/reading apps. If there is a fix to this, I’m happy to give it a try.

The app had a glitch when you couldn’t upload the pdf- but a few days later I noticed an update. When I reached out via the help feature - they were swift to respond and kind to answer! Have been using this app on and off for a few years now- tbh the best app for rehearsing before an audition, a scene, or shoot!

My iPhone 14 pro max is running 16.0.3 The app crashes every time I attempt to import a script or pdf of any kind. I have tried reinstalling and importing scripts from several other methods but all crash the app and the script is never imported. This makes it functionally unusable on this current phone and IOS version. Worked great on previous IOS versions. I hope the developers can fix this problem because I like this app.
