## What is Rehearsal® Pro?

Rehearsal® Pro is the #1 best-selling app for professional actors!

Want to learn your lines? Want to be off-book, and book more work? Grab Rehearsal® Pro now!

Rehearsal® Pro is the app for that.

"I love this app! Rehearsal® lets me learn my lines in the car while I drive to work. It already saved my butt when I was thrown a major new dialogue scene 45 minutes before we started shooting it. I plugged the new scene into Rehearsal and I was off book by the time I got out of the make up chair." -Clark Gregg (Marvel's Agents of SHIELD, Iron Man, Iron Man 2, Desperate Housewives, New Adventures of Old Christine)

"I am very pleased with the results of using Rehearsal® so far. It is a powerful tool in preparing for auditions, or for days of work, especially when I am pressed for time. It is easy to use and I have no doubt that as it evolves, it will be a part of my work process for a long time." -John Carroll Lynch (Shutter Island, Dexter, The Drew Carey Show, Body of Proof)

### 5/5 — Fabulous app

*2026-07-15, version 3.8.4*

A very practical app for Acting.  I’ve been using this app for around 3 years now and have recommended it to lots of my friends.  It’s Fab and does the job.  It makes my life easier thank you.

### 5/5 — Text glitched!

*2026-03-18*

Habe immer gut damit arbeiten können! Neuerdings springt der Text visuell wild durch‘s ganze Buch wenn man die aufgenommeneSzene abhören will.

### 2/5 — App description is not accurate

*2026-03-10, version 3.8.4*

So let me get this straight I paid $20 to download an app that claims to be able to use your camera and in fact, asks for camera permissions to scan scripts into the software and then when you select that option it redirects you to download Adobe scan. I didn’t need to spend $20 to download an adobe app which requires a separate subscription to use. I’m not sure about the rest of the features because without being able to get the script into the app you can’t use them.

### 2/5 — Outright lies on the app description

*2026-03-06*

So let me get this straight I paid $20 to download an app that claims to be able to use your camera and in fact, asks for camera permissions to scan scripts into the software and then when you select that option it redirects you to download Adobe scan.

### 5/5 — Remains my go to app for auditions.

*2026-02-15, version 3.8.4*

Best I’ve found.

### 1/5 — Geld weg

*2025-10-09*

Nicht wie erwartet. Premiumaccount -Login nicht möglich. Rückerstattung nicht möglich. Fühle mich betrogen.

### 1/5 — Ne sert à rien

*2025-08-03, version 3.8.3*

Application nulle qui ne sert à rien.
 Publicité mensongère

### 3/5 — Can’t log in

*2025-03-13, version 3.8.1*

Bought an app costing $19.99, created an account, registered it, and the login page doesn’t work. Loads like scripts before FlashPlayer was phased out, and the login support page doesn’t load either, says to “contact the website owner” 🙄

### 1/5 — Wish I Could Give Negative Stars

*2025-02-26, version 3.8.1*

I spent $20 on this app, and it is so buggy that it won’t even let me log in. So $20 simply to go in circles between “your account is already activated” and “your account is not activated” without even a troubleshooting guide. 

Such. A. Scam.

### 1/5 — Worst app worst service

*2025-02-23, version 3.8.1*

After being forced to keep this trash app due to buying by mistake, which is my own fault, but i probably tried to get a refund within 20 minutes of realizing i didn’t want this and didn’t know i actually paid for it, i tried to use it. The videos explain some stuff but still doesnt work the way it says it will. I dislike the interface. Its not user friendly and you can get much better apps than this for next to nothing linelearner is the one i actually use, its also strange and kinda hard to use but it works well once you get it. Anyway, talked through email to someone who works there who says he is an actor and has 120k satisfied custies. And still can’t give me a refund in anyway. Also he decided to give me advice on how to write emails and how i should talk to ppl. You run a business, you should be worried about business  not me. Maybe if you actually read the emails you would have already saw that i didn’t want the app and tried several times to get the refund. I couldn’t refund it, tried it out openminded and still hate it. Just give me a refund already. Or let me give it to someone else who actually wants it.
Terrible app
Terrible service
I’m about done with apple.
