cues
And it’s absolutely gotten better over these past few months, better vocal cue pickup always. Thank you for the tool my friends. Better and better every day and incredibly useful.
Sound cuts out
In theory, this is such a great idea, but unfortunately, the video are sub quality and the sound cuts out.
Several bugs and inaccessible UI
Fantastic concept but gets lost in the several bugs. Sometimes the app doesn't hear your sound cue properly during filming or just stops altogether during rehearsal. It's incredible overpriced to have these sorts of issues. The UI isn't the most accessible either, very cluttered and lowkey ugly too.

Poor Quailty
Unlike other line reading apps, there’s limited options to make changes in “Reader” voices. Regardless of settings, Reader’s voices on playback are always metallic sounding. And worst of all, saving a completed video is hit-or-miss. There have been numerous times where the app would not process the video when trying to save it to the phone. I’ve ended up wasting a lot of time losing many good self tapes because the app functioned poorly. For the above reasons, I’m not renewing the subscription.

Over all good
Over all it’s pretty good. The recording of the lines and being able to fix the text is great. The options used for the replaying of the lines are also good.
The ONLY problem is, if you have a lot of lines and you want to just import them instead of manually recording them. The app doesn’t accept PDF files it seems like. Which is what all the scripts & sides that casting send are in…so kind of useless feature.

It gets the job done
Really liked the app so far super helpful but occasionally the mic doesnt pick up on recording for the “myself” feature the way it should. I have to exit the app and open it back up again, It’s still a pretty solid app and I use the app a lot I definitely recommend
The cue sucks
The cue word is ridiculous. Having to overly exaggerate pronouncing it will lead you to doing many failed takes. Or the fact how it glitches even after it hears the cue before it shows you the next line of dialogue. It needs an update to fix these issues
"ACTORS BUY IT NOW!!
Once you learn NAVIGATION...Lines come easy. It's a Personal Reader, TELEPROMPTER. Pro Hint....CREATE and LABEL FOLDERS by breaking scene-by transitions. Run the Folders....

I really like this app. The only downside is the silences that I add to the text keep slipping out of plan, which can mess things up whilst taping.
great for acting class!
been using it for like 2 years now and its been a faster way to learn my lines!
Nothing to help
Have extensive questions and went through the two quick start and tutorial which indicates certain features available but not a step by step of how to do them. A chat bubble just came up saying it didn’t recognize the language and my finger slipped to Spanish. I will never get this! Where is the back button? Where is even the chat bubble I just interacted with? What a mess!

Doesn’t pick up on my cues
Doesn’t register my cue line, I have to manually constantly, which takes me out of the scene
Abandoned
I’ve been using this for at least 5 years, but it seems like it has been abandoned. The last update was three years ago. I’ll be cancelling my subscription and finding a new line learner app. Scriptmate: Line Learner seems promising.
Could be great
It’s ok. I’ve encountered this super annoying problem where every single time I go into the app I’m interrupted to leave a review and/or a star rating. Most of the time I would choose the “not now” option to write a review, but it was hounding me every single time, even though I gave a star rating. Then every single time it kept hounding me for what I’d already done. Tried uninstalling and re-installing. Restarting phone. Every single time, even after leaving stars. I’ll gladly up my review if they fix this. It’s been countless weeks this way, so I’m probably just going to try another app, but all in all, ColdRead HAS been helpful to learn lines. I just record everything, imitating my castmates, which also serves as some fun for me as I absorb the basics.

My go to!
I use it all the time! It is my go to to learn lines quickly and respond to the other characters. Acting is so much more than just knowing your lines. This app helps me learn and be present.
Best for Actors with no readers
Easy to use, I like the large print teleprompter because I’m kind of blind. And I like how it has a countdown timer for recording so you can get ready.
Crashes galore
It crashes in the middle of read throughs, ALL THE TIME. It is not worth the money. I’m stressing out about getting these lines memorized and this app is NOT helping. It used to work well. No longer.
Crashing + Doesn’t record with AirPods
Consistently crashes a few lines in. I’m on the latest version of iOS. Re-recorded thinking it was a corrupted file. Nope. Also disabling the option to record audio on AirPods is so stupid. The majority of the time I’m recording for the purpose of running lines, not to use in absence of a reader. I don’t care about the quality so long as I hear the line. What mic is used needs to be up to the user. What are you, my mom? I get more background audio when I record without headphones. Change it back.

Really changed my auditioning game ,
One downside , please fix the bugs !!!!!sometimes it won’t pick certain words , as if it just won’t recognize those words, and it could be frustrating
