### 2/5 — Not great if you’re only in one union

*2026-07-26*

Biggest issue is the filtering options. Automatically does the fit-for-me in app (kind of, doesn’t point to the role, just the show that has a matching role). I’m in SagAftra, but not AEA, so the union filter is full of plays I can’t audition for, and the non-union filter is full of films I can’t audition. Very unhelpful and a time-sink too.

### 1/5 — Dreadful

*2026-07-14*

This app completely ignores your role settings from your AA account. I'm a male, over 50, in LA, and SAG-AFTRA, and it's sending me everything, including female roles, wrong age group, non union, and background roles. This app is awful. Stick to email alerts.

### 1/5 — Subscription

*2026-07-09*

If you join you can’t unsubscribe later

### 2/5 — Functionality requests

*2026-06-20*

Please add the ability to pinch and zoom on the audition sides, Without that, looking at the sides in the app is not very helpful. If not that, at least add the ability to export the sides to the Files app (just as we’d be able to do with the same sides on a desktop or laptop computer) so we can pinch and zoom in the Files app.

Also, please add the ability to choose custom notification sounds for new roles, Cmail, etc.

### 2/5 — Missing basic functionality

*2026-05-10, version 1.9*

Just discovered that it isn’t even possible to pinch and zoom on JPEG images of the audition sides, much less print them. This makes the sides kind of unusable…

### 2/5 — Basic and not intuitive

*2026-04-26*

I have an agent, so everything on AA goes through them. I think the other two reviews were for self-represented, but my rating is still low.

This app technically does what it’s supposed to — as in, the minimum. You can see your auditions and their breakdowns and the buttons all work. The problem with this app is you can’t copy and paste anything in the description. Often, you’re asked to copy and paste a link into your browser for reference, or there is a condensed/alt version of the script in the breakdown that I want to copy and print, but can’t. You also cannot print any attachments via the app, which is annoying for people like me who prefer to work with paper copies.

The formatting of breakdowns can be all over the place as well. I’m not sure how things appear from the casting side, but from the actors‘ side, information is all squished together, contradicting itself, or totally scattered. I like organized information.

Considering all the charges AA demands, this app should be improved. And not by making the app an extra charge.

It even says there are only two ratings for this app when there are six.

### 1/5 — Breakdown services and actors access steal from you

*2026-03-11, version 1.9*

Breakdown services stealing Money from struggling actors by charging expense fees that are necessary to get casting notices is your looking for work in the industry Yet they REFUSE AFTer MAKING MILLIONS TO put MONEY BACK INTO THE APP OR THEIR WEBSITE. I hope SAG shuts them down on the next strike ! They have no android app and Thor website is horrible on mobile devices GREEDY GREEDY GREEDY spend some money on improving your app and website

### 3/5 — Please add print

*2026-02-27*

For the love of the angels please add a function to print the sides from the app 
Spare me this nonsense.

### 4/5 — Pay the subscription

*2026-01-29*

The subscription is SO worth it, I promise. I just wish we didn’t have to go to the website to add pictures and edit our resume. Please add a way to do that on the app.

### 1/5 — Ruins job opportunities

*2026-01-09*

Where do I begin. 
- Changing a file name in app does not change the file name for the recipient of the file, for the recipient it will revert back to the previous name in your files. Jobs request to have files named specific titles, why is there an option to change the file name if it never changes the file name. 
- Does not send a notification when you have a scheduled audition, but spams notifications for jobs for which you haven’t submitted and of which you don’t match the specs. 
- Have received an email for an audition I am approved to submit for, but it takes days for the submission link to appear in app. 
- Uploading often shuts down app forcing a restart and is excessively slow whether on data or wifi. 

Plenty of actors rely on this app for their careers and it has let a lot of us down. Memberships cost a lot of money, would be a good idea to use that money to update the app once in a while.
