Excellent resource for actors but the app needs tweaking
I've had a copy of this book for a long time and it's a great one to refer to if you're stuck looking to nail the right action. Really pleased to discover the app because I'm never without my phone but often without the book. Only problem is, some of the entries aren't viewable in full, especially if there are lots of alternative linked actions. Tried scrolling, swiping, every button but to no avail which limits its usefulness. Any suggestions? Also, be good to have an iPad version and the option to change display font size on smaller/larger screens. Time for v2.0 perhaps?

Great
I couldn't find a book near me so gave the app a try. It's very easy to use and it has helped more than the standard thesaurus' I've been working with.
The only annoying thing is it doesn't let you scroll down to see all the synonyms if the list is too long. If this could be fixed 5 stars.

Useful + cheaper than the book
Really really useful! Actioning is like a secret weapon to unlocking a difficult moment in a scene, you just try different options till you find the one that helps. I used to borrow my friend's copy of the book, but the app is cheaper and you can save words etc. I use it in all my rehearsals.
Perfect for Actors everywhere!
I'm in my second year at drama school and we've just began actioning texts. I personally found it impossible until I discovered the Actors Thesaurus. This condenses all the usefulness of the book into a neat little app. Absolutely invaluable! Particularly good are the "my actions" and "emotional group" features.

Brilliant
I've been using actioning and the Actions book in rehearsals ever since I was at drama school. I love being able to have it on my phone so I can carry it about and not have to share someone else's copy when i forget to take the book to rehearsals (which I do often!!!!). Really useful to be able to save favourite action words as well. Big recommend to all actors.
