Best app for learning lines

Have used a couple competitors. This is by far the best app for memorizing lines. Very user friendly

Amazing app!

It’s so much easier and quicker to memorize lines this way!

Reader? Who needs a reader?

This is the second reader app I’ve tried and it is so great. It’s everything I had hoped the other reader to be but wasn’t. The ability to select the cue word for each line, add pauses, special timing, redo voices, tweak the script… so many great options. I also just use to help me run lines while out on a walk. Love it. Highly recommend.

Unreliable and New AI Voice is Worse Than Before

Updated: I think they’ve gone out of business because I emailed their customer service on September 6th, 2026 like they suggested and it’s now the 29th over 3 weeks later and they never responded.


Original review: Often misses cues and will just sit there silently, usually halfway through a scene. I bought the subscription and it was doing alright but yesterday they released an update and the female AI voice now speaks like she’s illiterate which makes it embarrassing to submit to reputable casting directors.

Response from developer

Hey there, Thanks for your review - the new voices were added because they are direct-able and have more context about the scene, that being said, you can revert to the old voices! There is a setting in the "i" button in the main menu to turn them off. We are testing the voices, so if you could email us at hello@counterpart.actor with the scene where the voices messed up, would be great to take a look. We'd love to make it right for you. Alex

Can’t use in other countries

You need to have an American phone number to start- can’t try use an email or anything.

Response from developer

Hey there, We support phone numbers from anywhere, as long as you have a country code (+1, +61, +44) in front of the number as given in the example in-app. We are also migrating to an email system in the next update. Please contact hello@counterpart.actor if you have any questions or difficulty.

Wish it didn’t cost money to get the full experience

Yeah

Dumb

Why you can’t import and create scenes on the desktop, only on an iPhone or iPad makes no sense. Especially when most people use their phones to record, and can’t record while having another app using the sound and mic.

Incredible

Absolutely love that I can change the intention of each line of the AI voice to help give it more nuance and guide the performance that I need from it. It ends up truly feeling like a scene partner.

smooth

nice and smooth

Can’t sign in

It won’t accept my phone number and can’t sign in any other way

Review

fantastic app, everything I needed

Great for learning lines

But you do have to pay for more than one scene, then give you one scene for free.

Utterly Unreliable

Unreliable for important auditions. App routinely stops talking in the middle of a sentence, especially if the scene is several pages long. Routinely misses cues. For important emotional scenes it is absolutely infuriating, making you repeat the performance over and over because it will fail mid-sentence, omit a line altogether, or leave you hanging without responding to your cue.

App sux when it comes to importing scripts

Tried importing multiple times, multiples ways after reading FAQ explanation of how it is supposed to be done. Failed. God forbid coding the app to directly access/open the file directly……or worse, have a spot to drag and drop the file for importing. <sarc>

Do not wast your time.

Response from developer

Hey there, The mac app doesn't support importing. It's designed to be a reader version of the iOS app to just read scenes with you that are already set up on iOS. Sorry this wasn't clear.

Good App

Great app, the voices are good although the delivery they give naturally with no direction is quite bland, I use this app a lot!
Also please add Bluetooth headphone connectivity!

Great potential, lacking execution

This app has the potential to be a godsend when you can’t find a reader, but the bugs it currently has make it at best infuriating, and at worst unusable. It will randomly decide it’s gonna ignore all cue words anywhere in the script (frustrating, especially while in a long scene), the first reader line echos very loudly in playback like 70% of the time (borderline unusable), and will sometimes bug an entire script so hard it will start reading a line and then skip half the script and start playing a line 10 lines ahead of where you are every time(unusable); changing cue words, manually reentering lines, deleting and reentering lines, nothing works. The script is permanently bugged, and if you’re importing it, it’s bugged forever. I suspect it’s something with the AI voice as recording the lines yourself and keeping it in your own voice seems to solve the problem. It still needs a video playback in the app so you don’t have to wait for an export to see it, and the AI voices, while novel, are mostly unhelpful as readers as they have a monotone, obviously AI delivery. As it stands, stay on the free version.

Response from developer

Hey there, Thank you for your review - it's super helpful. We are always trying to make Counterpart better, especially for taping. Would you mind telling us which scripts these issues happen on? We want to see what specifically is going on. Please reach out to us at hello@counterpart.actor We really look forward to hearing from you!

Game Changer!!

I absolutely LOVE this app. It’s more efficient and functions better than any other tool for the same function. Highly recommend for actors, this is a must

10/10

Always use this when I go on walks to memorize my audition scenes.

Confusing and doesn’t really work

There is not much to it. Even with minimal functions it’s overly complicated. When trying to upload scrips it would miss pages at a time. There are a lot better options out there
