Easy to use and one of the oldest and best.
I’ve used MyLines for more than a decade and it’s been my go-to system for learning lines quickly and easily. It took some time to figure out how to import (what format, etc.) but then after I had a master file to use as a model, I find it easy. In the early days, I had a lot of emails to the support team and response was quick, detailed and always kept responding until I fixed my issue. I haven’t used the other features, but as an actor, the memorization part is perfect. I can bookmark problematic sections and go to them quickly with hand bookmark labels that make sense to me. Super great to use while waiting or have moments of spare time. Makes learning quick!

No pricing disclosures
The free iOS app is limited to 50 lines of script. That isn’t disclosed anywhere. Keep it in mind before you spend all day reformatting your script to conform with their strict requirements on your pc.
App has not been updated in years; no sound for IOS 15
I liked this app for years. But I recently found for iPhone and iPad running IOS 15 no sound plays. You can still load the script and it has the other functionality but won’t play TTS.
Great way to learn lines
It is often a challenge to learn lines especially in a long script with many actors. MyLines offers ways to filter out the scenes and characters. You can learn the script by scene, role or line. There is voice capacity. Highlighting is a great option. As a director it has been a great tool to offer to my actors who struggle to learn lines. See my write up of Stage pro as well because that is another great app and I give BIG kudos to the tech support.

Game Changer
This app is a true game changer when it comes to ease of use and bang for your buck. If I can use it, anyone can use it. After purchasing, you simply select your script and voila! You can highlight your lines, edit your lines, hide your lines all with a quick tap. Your highlighted script goes anywhere you go on your phone. It is so convenient and much easier than recording an entire play as I’ve had to do with other line learning apps. MyLines is the best! You won’t be sorry!!
