Great App! But One more thing
This app is as great as advertised! The integration with linelearner is also amazing. However, the one thing that would make this over the top, Audition Pro should make it where there are different voices you can choose from to do the readers lines in the audition. That would make this stellar!
WANT TO LOVE IT BUT!!
This app is sooooo needed, however the transition ‘sound quality’ between the replay recorded ‘off lines’ & the iPhone mic as you film is huge. Such an awful shame, as there is nothing else like this on the market. Actors are ‘desperate’ for this option. But seamless sound quality has to be looked at. It’s ruining grt takes atm! 😱

Not overly impressed right now
Thought this looked great, due to the idea of the clicker being used to play the opposite lines.
However, I cannot currently get that part to work which is making the app pretty useless and have spent far too long trying to get the feeder voice set properly than actually doing the self tape.
It may just be me, and if I am doing wrong then I’m sure the app is useful. But without instruction, I’m pretty stuck.

Useful, intuitive and richly beneficial
Having been a beneficiary of the line learner app for a number of years, I was delighted to discover this support for self-tapes.
It’s superb.
A lot of the issues from earlier review appeared to be resolved, but the ‘clunky’ transition can also be resolved in the way you record the lines by being gentle with your stop record button. Volume of feed line can obviously be reduced with your volume button.
This saved the day during lockdown, but I can see myself using it for most, if not all future self tapes.
Being able to feed the lines, change pace, have a countdown, automatic stop record, instant playback, compressed files, email / save options and in such a friendly and simple layout is just a gift!
Being able to focus on the script and performance without worrying about technology is what most actors want.
This app is now a solid companion to my line learner app and both take away the stress from my audition preperation. Perfect!

Has potential
Things I’d like to see improved upon:
1) have the correct aspect ratio of 16:9 - most important
2) some way to mute the recorded lines but still have them in the video? The problem is if I can hear the lines well, it means it over powers the volume of the video. Maybe I’d there’s a way to adjust the volume after recording or not have it record sound when the recording plays?
3) it’s hard to time when the recorded line is coming, maybe if there’s a silent 3 2 1 visual count down?
3) it’s hard to tell how it’s going to record because even if I record it looking correctly, sometimes when I play it back the video is upside down and I have to figure out how to flip the camera the right way.

It could be great but needs work
The idea of this app is great however,
The camera is too small so you don’t get a good view of how you look on camera. It needs to fill the whole screen. Also when auditioning you have to film in landscape NOT portrait (so not as shown in example in app ). So the tiny box that show camera is not helpful.
Once you’ve recorded and you play back your video the feeder lines (pre recorded lines of the other character) are far too loud and transitions to each line is clunky.
Positives I love it gives you a count down I think there should be an other of 5 sec to get into place and maybe a sound that beeps for 5,4 then goes silent for 3,2,1 that was you can focus on your eye line.
I love that it also stops the videoing automatically which makes it clean.
A few tweaks here and there and this could be genius!!! Would like to see more improvement in this app

Horrible!
Only uses front camera which is too poor quality & the Pre-recorded “reader” lines are played back way too loud & of poor quality. I got this app to save time, but it looks like i still have to self-tape myself the old-school way & edit it together.
Seriously, the quality was so bad my agent wouldn’t submit the tape. Don’t waste your $ or time.
