Weekend Read 2

I purchased annual subscription so as to get access to the additional features, but they just don’t work. I emailed the developer and never heard back from them. I had to request a refund in the end. It’s a real shame, because this could be a great little app, but the dev is MIA.

Good app. Can read scripts. Can do a lot more. Clean and easy, thanks John & team.

I really love the idea for this app—especially because I use Highland on my Mac and love being able to see my files on my iPad. The interface is clean, and the library of scripts is a huge bonus But, when I try to open the reader settings on my iPad, a small popover appears, and I can’t interact with it to change the size or font because it’s so small. I dabble in developing and know this could be easily fixed by switching this from a popover to a sheet. I hope the developers see this and make this incredibly easy fix that would make this a five-star app!

Back in the original version of this app I discovered that many of my scripts lost text that was in the first few or last few lines of each page. I reported this and they said they were working on a new version of the app so I'd have to wait for that. Now that new version is here - at a subscription price - and... The bug is still there! I've reported it again but no reply. I guess I won't be renewing my subscription. To bad cause it's a great way to read a script when it works. Another interesting way - the voice reader - hasn't worked for me even once. Same results on both my iphone and ipad. Yes I reported it but no solution has been forthcoming.

Can we get the ability to use the voice aloud reader without the need to have the screen active? That’s a pretty standard feature for text to speech apps and would make this a killer function. It’s already great as is, but having to change my device settings to turn off display auto-lock every time I need to listen to a script is an obstacle. Thanks for considering.

I LOVED the first weekend read and stupidly deleted it from my iPhone when this came out. This new version just doesn’t work. I cannot open attachments into this app. I just doesn’t work. I emailed their customer support twice, asking for help…and zero response. Ultimately I had to get Apple to refund me. Bring back the original please!

Wrote their technical support several times because I paid for the added benefits and it didn't work. Got zero responses so had to have Apple refund me. Please bring back the original!

Paid 10 bucks for a useless app and now they want me to pay monthly. No thanks. Better companies out there.

There’s a great app somewhere close to here, but no full screen is a real step back. I was excited to try the voices, but it’s unusable as is. The phone comes loaded with voices - why not assign different ones to different characters? That’s when playback even works, which is patchy at best. Easy to accidentally select text, and unclear how to UN-select… The more transparent the app, the better and more convenient it is. Unfortunately this update is a step back for Weekend Read. I’ll have to cancel my free trial till the next update.

I am a longtime user of the older version of Weekend Read. I’m very disappointed that this app is now subscription-based. I also added one screenplay to the free version of this app and tried to add a second one and was told I’d reached my limit! If this app were a onetime payment, I’d gladly buy it but I will stick with the older version as long as it continues to work.
