Crashes often

Would love some help in fixing this issue!! It’s painful how often the app shuts down entirely while practicing a scene, or randomly pauses and I need to manually press play at least 10x per one pass of a scene. It didn’t use to be so inconsistent & glitchy. I love this app SO MUCH so I’d hate for it to stay buggy and turn people off from using it more often

Needs some major updates to be useful

Good in theory but you cannot upload pdf files which is how all auditions come in. You also can’t copy paste txt which would be the second easiest way to out in text. I found the response time, even when adjusted, still felt unnatural. I would love to use an app like this but this one isn’t it.

FAQ

What does the coldRead app do?

This app is designed for actors to practice their lines independently. It simulates a scene partner by reading lines back to you after you deliver your cue. It also includes features for memorization, rehearsal, and self-taping auditions.

How does the line reading feature work?

You record each line of your script. When you speak the last word of your line (your cue), the app will automatically read the next line back to you, mimicking how a real reader would interact.

Is coldRead free to use?

The app offers a free tier where you can practice up to 8 lines, which is suitable for many co-star auditions. For unlimited access to all features, a subscription is required.

What devices is coldRead compatible with?

coldRead runs on iPhones, iPads, and Macs with Apple silicon (M-chips). A companion coldRead Remote app is also available for Apple Watch.

Can I use coldRead without an internet connection?

Yes, the app is designed to work offline. No internet connection, email address, or sign-up process is required to use its core functionalities. Speech recognition and line storage are handled directly on your device.
