So pls fix 🩷 ### 2/5 — The app misses so much *2026-07-17, version 2.37* I appreciate that I can upload my auditions on the go, but keep in mind that the app misses a lot of information about your the project. Make sure you still go onto the website to get all the details. ### 2/5 — Not much to say to be honest *2026-06-17, version 2.36* Well…I had a problem where they asked for my location so I was trying to find it but it seemed like they didn’t have my location so I didn’t know what to put cause again they didn’t have where I lived and by the way this is the beginning like this is me setting up my account ### 3/5 — Please fix/add a couple features *2026-05-13* It’s a fine app for the most part, I just want to catch their attention because I want to be able to actually click open the reference media photos on casting calls. Also I desperately wish there was a favorites/bookmarks function so that I could return to casting calls that I would like to submit to later on. ### 3/5 — Can’t submit to roles on app *2026-04-27, version 2.34* App is great but you’re unable to submit to roles even though I pay for the membership. Can’t submit on the app but able to on the website. ### 2/5 — Breakdowns *2026-03-31, version 2.33* Not sure why, but just include ALL the info for a breakdown in the app. It’s so annoying to get a request and then have to log into IE or safari so I can see all the actual, important and useful details. Due date Rate Usage details Character details List goes on. Why is it like this? Nooooooobody knows. Why won’t they ever fix it but still up their monthly price??? Noooooobody knows. Will I always log in to every other single casting service first? Yes. ### 2/5 — Never full details *2026-02-23* Never has the full details of castings/jobs displayed. If you want to see the rate, breakdowns, and DUE DATE, you have to use the web browser and get on a computer. Kind of defeats the purpose of the app. Half the video formats won’t upload via the app either and you have to forward them to yourself to upload on a computer. With the insane amount of money they’re charging, I figure it’d be better than everyone else. It’s not at all. ### 1/5 — PLEASE FIX THESE SIMPLE ISSUES ONCE AND FOR ALL *2026-02-10, version 2.32* This app could be perfect if we were able to see the dates of every audition due! What’s the point of having an app if I have to go somewhere else to get that info? Also multiple times has happened when I would press confirm on the app for auditions and callbacks and my agent would email me days later reminding me to confirm…when I already did. Now I have to confirm outside of the app because I no longer trust it, which is very inconvenient and defeats the purpose of the convenience of the app. PLEASE listen to the feedback! Please fix these issues!!!! ### 1/5 — total bs *2026-01-25, version 2.32* My agents are boycotting casting networks ### 1/5 — Charged after cancellation *2026-01-25, version 2.32* Cancelled my subscription (through the website), but was will charged the day after. Not happy as it caused me to potentially overdraft. I have proof of receipt of cancellation in the email and disputing it with my bank. They need to honor cancellations. ### 2/5 — Lazy design, missing features *2025-12-11, version 2.30* Why are features available via the desktop version of the site not available on the app? Even the MOBILE WEBSITE version has abilities the app doesn’t have. Insane that this industry forces us to pay to find work, but can’t even make a working app with all that money they gouge from us. ### 1/5 — Scammers *2025-12-08* I’ve been subscribed to them for the last five years. And every single year I purchased the yearly plan. And every single year when that expires, they charge me the monthly plan which is $30 a month way more expensive. They do this in hopes to catch you off guard so that you end up paying more money. I hate them for this. Also, they hate actors. They made actors pay way too much money for nothing. ### 1/5 — Lacking functionality *2025-11-25, version 2.30* Essentially only useful for notifications. Unable to access links, instructions, or even something as straightforward as audition deadline. All information that is instantly available in the web version. To the point where know I might as well skip interfacing with this app because it will not have crucial information. ### 1/5 — Unbelievable *2025-11-24, version 2.30* Platform itself is fine, but Apple denying my refund request TWICE is unacceptable. I no longer need to use this app, and I canceled my membership the moment I received the charge. Deeply disappointed. ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2025-11-13, version 2.30* Won’t even let me register, like the button won’t work ### 1/5 — Another Awful one *2025-11-06, version 2.30* Just terrible, like just book people, like background work should not be hard to get. My boyfriend is a real actor and he’s can’t understand, why y’all play with me. ### 2/5 — So many updates and no fixes *2025-11-05, version 2.30* If this app could show me the shoot dates and rates for my media requests, without me having to log on from my computer, my life would be easier ### 1/5 — To expensive *2025-11-02, version 2.30* To much money when there’s better casting services and websites around. Casting directors can just email blast nowadays anyway. They penny pinch and charge everyone too much. Talent can’t afford $30 a month for basic services ### 1/5 — Charging agents and us *2025-10-17, version 2.29* I’m done with CN.. you go constantly double dip. My agency is letting you go and so am I . 25 bucks a month is not worth it ### 1/5 — garbage platform all around honestly *2025-10-17, version 2.29* way over priced. the user interface is appalling. too many glitches. out dated. way over priced. too many micro transactions. can’t even change a profile picture. absolutely astonishingly confusing user interface which is completely unacceptable in 2025. way over priced. costs too much money. can’t even change a profile picture. both the website and the app are equally bad. costs too much money. not worth the money. don’t waste your money ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — SCAM!!! *2026-08-17, version 2.39* impossible to cancel subscription ### 1/5 — So close to being helpful but not *2026-08-07* So many things wrong. Never shows the rates or shoot dates when getting a casting notification, so I can't confirm from my phone until I open on my desktop to find the full details of the prefect. That's just one example. The video upload capacity is insufficient. Most every self tape asks for a million extra bits these days so I inevitably have to upload a very low resolution video to meet the size restrictions that CN imposed. Maddening ### 1/5 — fix uploading videos *2026-07-15, version 2.37* so annoying bruh it wont break if you dont touch it now yall gotta fix this come on ### 1/5 — Login *2026-07-13, version 2.37* It asked me to verify my email address and I’ve already done it multiple times, but it keeps giving me an error message. I can’t use the app because it won’t let me verify my email address. ### 1/5 — Horrible scam. No customer support no phone contact *2026-07-02, version 2.36* I have been trying to cancel my premium account forever. They don’t have a way to cancel it on the app and I can’t log into my account on my laptop and they do not provide any human contact for support. What a scam. Stop taking my money casting networks, ### 1/5 — Fraud *2026-06-23, version 2.36* Won’t remove card ### 1/5 — Pertinent dates missing *2026-05-27, version 2.34* App doesn’t give Pertinent dates (callbacks, fitting, work dates). One has to go to the main site to find all that out. ### 1/5 — PLEASE FIX THESE SIMPLE ISSUES ONCE AND FOR ALL *2026-05-04* Update (5/26): The issues have not been fixed, despite the response. I honestly don’t get it. Original: This app could be perfect if we were able to see the dates of every audition due! What’s the point of having an app if I have to go somewhere else to get that info? Also multiple times has happened when I would press confirm on the app for auditions and callbacks and my agent would email me days later reminding me to confirm…when I already did. Now I have to confirm outside of the app because I no longer trust it, which is very inconvenient and defeats the purpose of the convenience of the app. PLEASE listen to the feedback! Please fix these issues!!!! **Developer response:** Hi Roxdaphe, Thanks for flagging this. We know how important it is for confirmations to go through reliably. We’ve made several updates to improve confirmations since your review, so please try the latest version of the app. If you still have trouble, our support team is happy to help look into it. Thanks! ### 1/5 — Overall Garbage Platform *2026-02-23, version 2.32* The user interface is absolutely appalling. Can’t so much as change your profile picture without having to subscribe to their overpriced monthly or yearly plan. ### 1/5 — Needs a lot of work *2026-02-11, version 2.32* While I appreciate there is an app, they never fix the issues with it, yet keep updating it with nothing that makes a difference. You can't see deadlines on your auditions after confirming. This is ridiculous! App changes names of files after you upload. Only 300mb total in an audition, so it negates film auditions with many pages. You can't click on Casting attachments they include in breakdown. Shows your submitted profile pic as a white box. Can't do multiple fie upload so you have to remember what you uploaded and since it changes the name upon upload, have to watch and figure out which file this was so don't double upload. It would be nice if you could bookmark auditions, as many ask you to do a read with initial submission and you have to search back for the breakdown or send it to yourself on the website for later. I'm sure there are more things, but that's I can think of off the top of my head. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app!!! Just wish… *2024-08-25, version 2.3* “Due dates”/“Deadlines” for media requests would populate to the app. Right now, I check the app for an audition then I have to head to the website to see when the deadline is. ### 5/5 — Great app *2023-12-18* Loving having the platform on mobile! **Developer response:** Thank you! ### 5/5 — Amazing app! Definitely recommend. *2023-07-13* This app is amazing for finding roles in various films. It describes the role in great, easy to understand detail. It also sends you emails along with notifications on the app. It’s professional, and so easy to set up. It finds hundreds of roles matching your age, ethnicity, and appearance. I highly suggest!!! ❤️❤️❤️ **Developer response:** Thanks for the awesome review, Strawberryshortcake ### 5/5 — Casting *2023-05-31, version 1.5.0* Has anyone been cast yet? ### 5/5 — Amazing *2023-05-18* Easy and nice :-) ### 5/5 — Super useful *2023-04-28, version 1.4.1* 5 stars on how useful it is!! ### 5/5 — CN 👍 *2023-04-25, version 1.4.1* Great website.
