Not great if you’re only in one union
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.

Dreadful
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.

Functionality requests
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.

Missing basic functionality
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…
Basic and not intuitive
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.

Pay the subscription
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.
Ruins job opportunities
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.

Limited Functions
I saw many reviews mentioning how bad the app is vs the website. It’s true.
You can’t modify your profile or upload headshots/media. You can’t even filter breakdowns. “Role Match” Notifications are not helpful & got so spammy, had to turn it off.
Hope they upgrade this app! It shouldn’t be THIS basic lol.

Awful
They should not be asking for anything extra for extra work. I’m just going to stick to Modeling and Production. My boyfriend is a well known actor and he’s even confused.
Good app
Great app
Cannot DL sides, only view from app
You cannot download sides from the app and save it to your phone to study - you can only view
Buggy and too limited
Please fix a bug where when viewing an audition detail screen there is duplicates of all the media provided by casting. These duplicates cause confusion and make it harder for actors to focus on the right things. Additionally, we should be able to filter roles and see our profile / tools in the app.

Can’t upload files
This happens way too often and it’s very frustrating
No Cmail Notifications
I got this app so I can receive notifications for when I get an audition but for some reason I am never notified. I get notifications for “new roles” but not for auditions. What’s the point? Please fix.
Very non functional
Will spam me with notifications for auditions that “match my description” but never sends me notifications for Auditions I have been requested to submit for. On occasion I have received an email for an audition I am approved to submit for, and it takes days for it to even appear on the app. Uploading often restarts and is excessively slow. Plenty of actors rely on this app for their careers and it has let a lot of us down.

Unauthorized charge
I checked it out and wanted to try it out for a month and did not say my card, but for some reason, my car was still on file where I do not know where it was. It was where the it saved it without my permission and then charged it furthermore, with without my permission,
Buggy and App is useless on phone even after update
I’ve suddenly had issue uploading my callbacks and now everything fails and I can no longer zoom in on sides sent by casting. This needs addressed, it wasn’t buggy before but now it’s been a bit of a hot mess.
