## What is Off Book! Pro?

**Ad free version of Offbook!**

Hi — I'm Steve. I'm a working actor, and I built Off Book! for myself because I
was tired of scribbling on scripts and recording lines into voice memos I could
never find again. Turns out a bunch of other actors wanted it too. So here it is,
made by an actor, for actors. 

THE GIST
Record your script line by line, then play it back to run your scenes anywhere —
on the bus, at the gym, pacing your kitchen at 1am the night before opening.

It's dead simple:
• Make a Work (your play), add your Scenes, drop in your Characters, and Record
  your Lines.
• Recorded a 30-line scene and one line's out of order? Don't you dare start over.
  Tap the "+" to slip a new line in, or just press-and-hold a line and drag it
  where it belongs. Voilà.
• Scenes out of order too? Same deal — long-press and drag. Fixed.

NOW REHEARSE
Tap the Rehearse icon and you're in. Play the whole scene, or pick the character
YOU'RE playing and flip on "Mute My Line" — the scene plays right up to your cue,
then pauses just long enough for you to nail the line before your next cue rolls
in. Want a little nudge? "Cue My Line" gives you a friendly *ding* right before
it's your turn.

And here's the good part for runaround rehearsing: playback keeps going when your
screen locks or you switch apps. Lock-screen, Control Center, and headphone
controls all work — so you can run lines completely hands-free. Speed it up, slow
it down, loop a scene till it sticks.

LINESYNC — RUN LINES WITH YOUR CAST
Doing a show with other people? LineSync lets a director share a show's lines and
recordings with the whole cast across phones. Invite your actors by email; they
sync everything to their own phone for FREE. As castmates record their lines, the
director hears them show up automatically — no nagging. LineSync is a small
monthly subscription per show, paid by the director. The cast never pays a dime.

BUILT FOR EVERY ACTOR
Dynamic Type, VoiceOver, and Dark Mode work throughout — because the stage is for
everybody.

Got a slick feature idea, or (gasp!) found a bug? Hit the support link and there's
an email box waiting at the bottom — I read them myself.

Now go get off book. Break a leg.
— Steve

——— PRO TIPS ———
• "It won't save my lines!" → You probably skipped the microphone permission.
  Reinstall and tap YES when it asks, or go to iPhone Settings → Off Book! →
  switch Microphone ON.
• To DELETE a Line, Character, Scene, or Work: swipe right-to-left and tap Delete.
  Careful — deleting a Character also deletes its Lines.
• Long scene, phone left unattended? Set Auto-Lock to a long time (or Never) so it
  doesn't nap mid-rehearsal.

### 5/5 — Responsive developer, great app!

*2024-10-15*

I swear by this app! I used the regular version for years and then switched to the pro version. I recommend it to everyone. I sent in feedback and they had the chance I requested in functionality within a week!! That is unheard of! They made me a loyal user for life. This is an actor’s best friend.

### 1/5 — Broken App and No Support

*2019-05-13*

I had a friend recommended this to me for learning lines. Seems like a great tool if it worked. I created a title, added characters and scenes but it won’t let me record anything. The record page does not list the scenes. I read that the microphone may not be enabled, so I uninstalled and reinstalled but nothing. I went into the app settings on my phone and there is no such setting for a microphone. I tried reaching out to the developer but the website no longer exists. I will be requesting a refund.

### 2/5 — Great design but buggy

*2018-11-04, version 4.7*

Fantastic design but buggy - my longer recorded lines have started disappearing/not playing. 
The support site link doesn’t work and “contact Steve” button in Help does nothing. 
Is this app no longer supported?

### 1/5 — app doesn’t work anymore.

*2018-10-04*

I used this in july and august recorded all the scenes and used day of shows on the train to the theater. so convenient. 
Now after i input a new work , character, and scene lists it won’t let me record. even when i follow instructions as i always do. 
so one star because it doesn’t eork anymore

### 5/5 — Off Book Pro

*2018-06-27*

I found this app a few days ago and even though I’m only in my first show, I am finding it hugely helpful. 
My husband, who does so much more acting than I, loves it also! 
Thanks for creating this app that so many will find so useful!!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for the kind words! Very much appreciated!

### 5/5 — Great APP

*2018-03-06*

Once I got the hang of it ( with Steve’s kind help), I was off and running 

A whole new highly effective way to learn my lines 

Thank You, 
Sexy Septuagenarian

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your dollar

*2017-12-31*

Bought this in the hope of being more efficient with my lines. It takes about 2 minutes to load up, every time, once you’ve selected your scene. You’re better off recording your lines and playing them back manually to be more time effective.

### 5/5 — Love this app!

*2017-12-21*

I have used Off Book! Pro for three shows now and it is a lifesaver. The ability for multiple cast members to record their lines on their own devices and then rehearse without having to be at an actual rehearsal is a game changer.

### 5/5 — I love this app!

*2017-08-31*

It typically takes me 1-2 hours to drive to an audition.  I always wished I could be memorizing my lines while driving.   This app allows me to do just that.  Extremely convenient and very helpful.  Completely worth the small amount of money you pay for it.  I definitely recommend this app.

**Developer response:** Thanks so much for the wonderful review, "Chrisislame"! Im thrilled the app has been beneficial for you!!

### 5/5 — Fantastically helpful

*2017-07-12*

I recently discovered Off Book while working on a play in which I have a lot of lines. And I love the app! The best feature for me is the ability to play back all of my scenes and mute my lines which makes my commute so productive as I'm working on this play. And the developer Steve is extremely responsive to feedback and suggestions. For $0.99 you really can't go wrong. It's worth a lot more than that.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 5.3 — 2026-08-18

• Shows you direct now stay in sync across all your devices — edits published on one arrive on the others automatically.
• Publish Update now warns before overwriting changes made from another device, with a one-tap Sync First.
• New "Updated" badge in your Library shows which shows have changes you haven't seen yet.

If a show you direct ever looked out of date on a second device, this update fixes it automatically the first time you open the app.

Also fixed: a layout glitch that could scramble the Library after rotating the phone, and shows now sync fully the first time you open this update.

### 5.2 — 2026-07-19

LineSync Update - If a shared show's recordings ever go missing from the cloud, publishing an update from a director's device that still has them now detects the gaps and re-uploads your copies — so the whole cast hears the show again.

### 5.1 — 2026-07-04

Curtain up on Script Import!

  Typing a whole play in by hand? No longer.  Now you hand Off Book! a script and it does the reading — scenes, characters, and every last
  line — while you go warm up.

  • Import a whole script. Feed it a PDF or a text file and Off Book! pulls out
    the scenes, characters, and lines for you. No more thumb cramps.

  • .fdx & Fountain get the VIP treatment. Final Draft and Fountain files take the
    express lane and map almost perfectly — no guessing, no notes.

  • A dress rehearsal before you commit. Everything lands in a preview first:
    rename, merge or split scenes, cut what you don't want, tidy up character
    names. Everything is in preview until you save.

  • Hear it before you record. Imported lines you haven't recorded yet get read
    aloud in their own per-character voices — so a brand-new show is rehearsable
    by ear from minute one.

  • Fluff a line? Insert it mid-scene. Tap the + right where it belongs and drop
    it in. No more tacking it on the end and dragging it up the pecking order.

  • A brand-new how-to guide. More → Help & Tutorials now has plain-English,
    step-by-step walkthroughs for the whole app — importing, rehearsing, sharing
    with your cast, the works.

  Your shows, scenes, lines, and recordings all carry over when you update.
  Nothing to re-do.

  Found a bug or just want to say hi? The support link's right there. I read every
  single message.

  Now go learn your lines. 

  Break a leg!
 — Steve

### 5.0.1 — 2026-06-29

A little spring cleaning to make rehearsing smoother:
 
      -Cast, meet Scenes! Add characters to a scene by tapping right from your cast list — pick a whole bunch at once instead of typing them one by one.
      -No more "wait, where am I?" — your Scenes screen now says so loud and clear.
      -Fixed a pesky rehearse screen bug that could squish multiple scenes into one row.  Special shout-out to Cyndi and Laura for alerting me to this!

### 4.7 — 2017-11-26

This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon.
