The black screen bug and muted audio playing while recording an insanely frustrating and make it IMPOSSIBLE to film. Haven’t seen a legitimate update to this app in so long. Feels like an AI cash grab app half the time. I might just go make my own. ### 3/5 — Immense Potential but quite a few issues *2025-10-07, version 3.5* This app is by far the best in contrast to its competition, but it’s far from perfect. 1. I should be able to film with the camera on either the left or the right side, currently it’s only the left side. 2. All too often either audio doesn’t convert or muted audio is not actually muted when recording. 3. Several times when recording the App will crash and not record at all. 4. I wish there was a way where you could have multiple voices in the same audition rather than just one. ### 3/5 — Teleprompter *2025-08-14* Please please please make the teleprompter more intuitive. It’s honestly such a terribly fleshed out tool and it’s very important. Trying to change the speed is so miserable. The slider is a disaster. Not only is it impossible to tell what speed you’re changing it to, but it resets every time you open and close your prompter or do a different take. Simplest fix would be a +- button. It’s very difficult to balance the speed with recorded audio and sync up your spoken lines because of this. Aside from that, another star off because recording and voice mods are so buggy. It’s been in “beta” for over a year and still not one update to it. I’ve honestly started using chatgpt to be my reader because the time I spend trying to get your app, that I pay full price, to work. cost about the same price tbh. **Developer response:** Thank you for taking the time to write this detailed feedback on the teleprompter. I completely understand your frustration with the speed controls. Your suggestion for +/- buttons makes perfect sense for more precise and consistent control. Please reach out to us at support@slatable.com about the specific issues you're experiencing. I'd love to help get those resolved for you. Best, David CEO, Slatable Inc. ### 2/5 — Lacking to be truly useful *2025-05-22* Voice changer is faulty and inconsistent. The beta is pretty much useless and doesn’t time well to cue your lines as a reader. I could get over all of this but the one thing that rendered this app useless: You can’t mirror your screen or use an HDMI into a monitor while the app is in use! It completely deactivates the app until you stop screen mirroring! What is the point of a teleprompter to help you self tape by yourself if you can’t even mirror your screen to another monitor? Seriously this is a HUGE mistake. It would make the app incredibly useful if that were allowed. **Developer response:** Hi Kaynerama, Thanks for the feedback. Based on suggestions like yours, we just released version 3.5, which now supports screen mirroring to a Mac or Apple TV. If you’re open to sharing more about your experience with the voice changer, I’d love to hear it. Just reach out via support. I’d also love to learn more about your experience with the reader. Timing can vary depending on how it’s used, so any details you’re willing to share would help us improve it. For more consistent control, we recommend using a small Bluetooth media remote to cue lines. I appreciate you giving the app a try and hope the update makes it more useful for you. Best, David CEO ### 3/5 — Could be a great App *2025-03-18* This App could really be great if the developers took the time to work out a few bugs and correct a couple things. 1) the teleprompter does not support a speed slow enough for any standard script or pace. The “teleprompter” app I have is basically paused when it’s at its lowest speed. It also uses numbers instead of a dial and you can increase or decrease by 1 number at a time which is helpful in getting to exactly the speed you need. 2) I can’t seem to save individual takes. I can’t even seem to be able to save the whole audition. The share button that is available at the audition setting screen is always disabled. I have to go to settings and choose export all audition files to save anything. Being able to save individual takes would be amazing. 3) There is a bug in the audio converter in both the beta and classic versions where I will convert all lines to a different voice, but some lines will be converted to a completely different voice. So, it sounds like I am speaking to multiple people when I should only be speaking to one. I have tried to correct this multiple ways without deleting the audio, but the only thing that works is deleting the audio and recording again, but even sometimes that will not work. I have had to resort to using the unconverted audio, which is irritating because the voice-changing capabilities is why I chose this app. 4) There is another bug where I will add a new scene to the same audition, record audio, and convert the audio. Then, when I go to do a take, I select the audio button and an error message pops up saying I have no audio and must record it. But, if I leave the take and go back to where I record the audio, the audio is there. Again, I have tried to fix this multiple ways but the only thing that worked was deleting the second scene and starting a whole other audition for that scene. This app in theory is amazing. But I had three auditions to do yesterday that took me four hours to get on tape when they really could have taken me one, all because of these issues. I have every intention of sticking with it in hopes that it will just keep improving. I am thankful that someone out there has recognized the unique need for this app. Please don’t give up on it 🙏 **Developer response:** Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts and detailing your experience with the app. I really appreciate your honest feedback—it’s invaluable for helping us improve. I did receive your support email and replied a couple of times, so I hope you’ll have a chance to check those out. Please feel free to reply there if you’d like to continue troubleshooting! I’d like to understand your teleprompter experience a bit better. Can you share what speed you’re running at and whether you’re using a scanned script or text? It sounds like the current slowest speed might not be meeting your needs. As a premium subscriber, you can save individual takes by tapping the More menu (•••) on the Takes screen in the top right, then “Select,” choosing the takes you want, and finally tapping the save icon at the bottom right. We even name them and add S1T1, etc.! If this isn’t working as expected, please let me know so we can look into it. And you just need to tap on the "like" heart icon top right in the Take icon to add your Takes to create an audition. Please let me know if this is not happening. Regarding the audio converter issue, generative AI sometimes produces results that aren’t 100% consistent. We made a tweak in a recent update to improve stability. Thanks again for your detailed feedback and for sticking with us. Feel free to reach out anytime with more questions or suggestions. In the Settings screen there are buttons for our support pages and to create a support ticket—I do try to respond as quickly as possible since I know auditions are often time-sensitive. Best, David CEO/Founder ### 2/5 — Reviews too high *2025-03-06* I don’t know why this app has such a high rating. I paid for premium. You shouldn’t. I’m canceling. This app has so much potential, but has made things harder so far. I REALLY liked the idea of the AI voice changer because I’m fairly remote and often can’t get a reader; however, the scene audio option will delete lines if you try to go back and edit (or say you have no scene audio), and the “reader” lines are much louder than my lines in the recording. I select a tail slate, upload a slate, and it’s not included in the recording for some reason. Also, the frame you see while filming is NOT the frame that ends up shown in the recording. Pretty important. The app should have a full editing tool at premium price. I still have to export the files to editing software to formulate a proper audition, even though the takes and slate are recorded in the app. I recommend Audition Pro (free) over this app, to be honest. Especially when you need another character. The audio CRACKS loudly before your reader’s lines, but it’s free, and you can edit out that initial crackle if you edit/time correctly. I feel like this app really focuses on the title cards/info and doesn’t have enough knowledge of and attention to the details of what’s actually needed for an audition. Get more actors and casting directors testing your software, Slatable!! **Developer response:** Hi there, Thank you for your honest review and for taking the time to share your experience. I’m sorry to hear about the issues you encountered. Could you please email us at support@slatable.com with more details? Specifically, we’d like to know if you’re using the new beta version of SceneAudio or the classic one, and whether you have the tail slate selected and toggled on. Also, any additional details about the volume settings on your device would be helpful. We truly value your feedback as it helps us improve the app for all users. Best, David ### 2/5 — Not What You Want/Need *2024-12-18* This app is great in theory, but the application of it’s practicality is a miss. The audio of the other reader playing while recording a video muffles the video and distorts the sound. The built in AI voices pick up the hum or buzz in a room and translates it to random words and louder noises. But even if you get a smooth audio recording once again, it won’t work on the self tape because of how the audio is playing from the device that is also recording. I spent hours trying to get this to work and wasted great takes because of this. The AI voices only come with four options, there’s no text to speech option so you have to speak the script first how you want it and the convert it to AI, and there’s no way to download the AI audio after either. The video trimming is hard to use, and has auto snap so it doesn’t let you edit precisely. This app is a glorified Voice Memo, you still have to time out your piece to the second for it to make sense. Also the teleprompter does not scroll over the video being recorded like a teleprompter would in the field. The Teleprompter feature is just a slow scroll on a document you have to copy and paste, or uploaded PDF. You can’t record yourself at the same time, so what’s the point unless you hold your phone or iPad with you? Another thing, I can’t log in again on a separate device. It only wants me on one device, so I can’t even have the audio play from my iPad because there is no login screen. Just a sign up screen, which is a user pain point and a UX nightmare. I wouldn’t have written this review if this was free app, but now I’m out $10. I had this app for 5 hours total and have already cancelled the subscription, and had two mental breakdowns because of it. All in all I did my self tape without this app entirely at the end. Caused more headaches than it solved. **Developer response:** Hi, So sorry you had issues with the app. We have a new version on the AppStore which fixes a bug related to the muffled sound. Unfortunately reviews sometimes take a while to post so a support ticket might have helped with this. I’m happy to answer your review here: We actually have 16 AI voices to choose from. If you scroll down the popup list you can see all of them, play a small audio clip to hear what they sound like, and then choose from the list. I'd love to know what you're experiencing with the trimmer. We've not included auto-snap so you should have fine-grained control over where you trim. There is a teleprompter in the camera. Just tap on the Scroll icon and it will overlay the camera and then tap on Record as you usually would. The other Teleprompter is for rehearsing your lines or using with a teleprompter beam splitter. Sorry if that wasn't clear in the UI. I'll definitely make a note of that for future versions. You should be able to log into your account on multiple devices. Slatable is not cloud based, for security reasons, so you'd need to set up each device separately. If you could send me a screen shot of what you're seeing to support@slatable.com I'd love to know as obviously that's not great if you can't log in. I appreciate your feedback. I do wish you had contacted us at support as we're always happy to help and figure out workarounds if something is not working as it should. best David CEO Slatable. ### 2/5 — Good idea - POOR EXECUTION *2024-11-09, version 3.1.4* good idea but this app simply made me lost a lot of content just simply because i recorded self tapes and for whatever reason they show as invalid and I can’t play them anymore. The audio is also extremely poor ### 2/5 — So Many Bugs *2024-09-12, version 3.1.1* I really want to like this app, especially with the new AI features. But the AI voices are inconsistent, and there’s a limit on the amount of takes you can have regarding the AI voices (even with the premium plan). ### 1/5 — Used to be good *2024-01-09, version 3.0.9* This used to be an amazing app. I used it allll the time. However, this recent update makes it impossible to use. The audio glitches in and out making whatever take I just did unusable. What happened? RIP Slatable. ### 1/5 — Update broke it *2023-12-03* Was decent now any attempts to record audio for a take sound fine until after filming when the pre-recorded audio becomes buggy and breaks and completely trashes any take. Used to work fine. **Developer response:** Hi. Sorry you’re having audio issues. The Scene Audio actually plays back from the device speaker as you’re doing a take, so theres no post audio stuff going on. Feel free to drop us an email at support@slatable.com so we can help you figure out what’s going on! ### 1/5 — My account has been deleted! *2023-11-30* I have been using this app for well over a year possibly 2 paid for the Pro version and have recommended to everyone! But since this update I cannot log in - saying I don’t exist or my account has been deleted! When I try to get a help ticket I get a message saying “ sorry you have been restricted from this page” please help!!! This is very worrying as all my tapes are on your app!!! **Developer response:** Hi Jaibeeee Sorry you’re having difficulties. With the new version we now have a sign in. So for the first time using the new app you need to sign up. As a SlatablePro user you’ll still retain all the features you had before the new update. And yes, our support site was down for a few days so apologies for the confusing message! Drop us a line at support@Slatable.com and we’d be happy to assist! ### 1/5 — Update Made App Unusable Without Premium *2023-11-17* Slatable used to be a great app for filming auditions when you don’t have a reader, but since they updated it, you cannot use the app without having premium. It’s a complete money grab as if we don’t pay enough in this industry. You can’t even download your own videos that you’ve made without having premium and they don’t allow you to screen record. Absolutely disgraceful ### 2/5 — Technical issues *2023-11-15, version 3.0.4* Right when you need it records one take over the other. The new version I can’t use. - ### 1/5 — Update breaks app *2023-11-14* Bought the professional version but the update has now made it useless. I now have to pay a subscription to access any of the original features. Poor **Developer response:** Hi. If you purchased SlatablePro you still have access to all those features. Please go to Settings in Slatable and Restore Purchases if it didn’t happen automatically. Drop us an email at support and we’d be happy to help if you’re having trouble restoring SlatablePro! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — PROMPTER *2026-07-15* The new setting is very frustrating. Glitches all the time occure when arunning various Reader setting, unlike the previous version when run the prompter with speed adjustment the READER does not work😡😡😡 **Developer response:** Thanks for reaching out. I'm sorry the Reader has been giving you trouble since the update. I want to get this in front of my developers so we can figure out what's going on. Please contact support@slatable.com and we'll get it sorted from there. David CEO Slatable Inc. ### 1/5 — Garbled audio and wasted time *2026-02-03* I want to like this. I want to use it - without it turning into hours of wasted time and frustration. But every time I use it, at least one if not more scenes that I have recorded audio for (either imported or within the app) end up sounding like they were recorded in a wind tunnel. Thy sound is fine when played in the scene- so you move on thinking “That was the one!”. Until you play it back and it’s totally unusable. Self taping with no reader is bad enough. Spending an hour or more and then finding out it was a total waste of time, energy and money is infuriating. Also? The screen image needs to accurately reflect the framing that will be recorded. It doesn’t matter if you’re using the front or back camera, the image you see will NOT be the frame that is recorded. So plan to spend 15 minutes shimmying your tripod around and doing test recordings because you also can’t crop or zoom to correct. Good times! **Developer response:** Thanks for reaching out. I'm really sorry about the frustration with the garbled audio. There's nothing worse than nailing a take only to discover it's unusable on playback. That's genuinely awful, especially when you're already working without a reader. We just released an update that fixes a bug causing audio issues on certain devices. If you're still experiencing problems after updating, lowering the volume or using a Bluetooth speaker can help. On the camera framing issue, you're right, and we've been working on improvements there. I'd love to have you test the update before we launch it if you're interested. Just reach out at support@slatable.com and I'll get you set up. Best David CEO Slatable Inc. ### 1/5 — No option to try before buying *2025-06-20, version 3.5* All I wanted to do was try the teleprompter for a minute before purchasing. Nope. Ok then. ### 1/5 — Everything locked behind a paywall *2025-02-15* Good idea for an app but very greedy of the company. Huge waste of time and good takes wasted **Developer response:** Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry you felt frustrated with the app’s costs. We actually offer a free plan that includes basic features and might better suit your needs if you don’t require unlimited or advanced functionalities. As a small, independent team, we do our best to keep our paid plans affordable while covering the costs of continuous improvements and support. We truly appreciate your input—if you have specific suggestions or would like help making the most of the free plan, please reach out to our support team. Thank you again for trying Slatable. ### 1/5 — Can't try before you buy *2025-02-05* There was no option to try it out first before purchasing. How am I to know if this app is worth the money without atleast having a demo to test it out. Not going to pay the amount of money you're wanting if I have no idea if it's fit for purpose. **Developer response:** I hear you! It’s completely fair to want to try an app before committing. That’s why we offer a free plan, which lets you record one audition per month—so you can see if it’s a good fit before upgrading. If you need more than that, the Basic plan gives you 3 auditions per month, and Premium unlocks unlimited recordings, plus the AI voice and teleprompter features. Let us know if you have any questions at support@slatable.com we're happy to help! ### 1/5 — Good idea, terrible quality *2024-09-08, version 3.1.1* Everything works well until you play back and sound is terrible. Comes and goes. Terrible waste of time and money ### 1/5 — Fed up completely with this app *2024-07-31* The concept of being able to record a scene partner to sync with your video is a great one. And it used to work. For the past few months, the audio is distorted terribly (loud/quiet, odd unexplainable noises, etc) making the tape unusable or at best, very unprofessional sounding. This problem should have been addressed months ago but instead, the most basic features that were free (saving more than 3 takes, exporting takes to your photos, etc) are now only available with a rather expensive subscription. In other words, rather than just adding new features for a price, they are actually taking away features that were free for years. I paid for a month subscription today because otherwise I could not send my tapes to my agent…held hostage in the app. Seriously bad form! The least Slatable could have done is add a pop up screen when the user attempts to use the app warning that will not have access to features they had previously relied upon. I will be requesting a refund for the payment and looking for a more reliable app to replace this one. **Developer response:** If you paid for SlatablePro you can restore purchases and get all the features back. If you were using the app for free the new version allows you to save one audition a month. We switched to a subscription based model so we can properly support development. It was not something we did lightly. We're always available at support@slatable.com if you have any questions! ### 1/5 — Crashes All the Time *2024-07-23, version 3.0.993* This used to be my go-to app for all my auditions during the pandemic. Ever since it moved to a subscription model, the app has been extremely slow, and it crashes all the time and usually after my best takes. Oh, and when it crashes, it fails to save the take. It’s especially frustrating when I’m facing a deadline! ### 1/5 — Greedy developers *2024-07-12, version 3.0.993* Been using Slatable for a while, and upon completing a self-tape audition this evening, I discovered upon opening the app that the developers arbitrarily removed functionality in order to strong arm users into pay for a subscription. Really tacky and tasteless. ### 1/5 — Weird loud random white static noise ruining my takes *2024-07-08, version 3.0.993* Loud static white noise ruining my takes in Random places while taping scenes ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fixed! *2026-05-16* It looks like they fixed the issues! Thank you for maintaining the great features that you currently have, and not taking away from them while you do updates! Five stars, you truly do not need any other apps for auditions. ### 5/5 — Adjusted After Customer Service *2025-07-24* *** Edit: After reaching out to their customer support, the CEO contacted me and resolved the issues. He was very helpful, kind, and understanding. Original post: The voice changer (almost) NEVER WORKS. It feels like I’ve spent hours and hours trying to convert the audio to one of the female voices to read the other lines (of a female character) and it either uses a male voice or it just emits loud clanging noises. It is a disaster. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for updating your review!! So glad I could get you back on track. And always happy to help! Best David CEO Slatable Inc. ### 5/5 — Just what I need *2025-07-19* This app has alleviated so much of my stress around self tapes! My reps are always saying to be quick and get them in immediately but with a day job and a life - it’s so hard to do let alone when you need to find a reader also. The voice converter actually sounds like a real person! The teleprompter and ability to do everything in one app is game changing. I hit a bug and sent in a ticket and got a response very quickly. It’s clear that David cares about his product and helping people. I also love that I can just save it to my phone and send from my computer (I like to watch it on my computer before sending in since the monitor is bigger). I was also worried the app would be controlling about sending it for me or making the file a weird type but it gives you a lot of freedom. Love this so much! Update: ok, I’ve used it for like 15 auditions now and it’s still great but I struggle when the sides are many pages long and dialogue heavy. I like to keep it as a pdf to preserve the formatting (easier to read) but the timing of the teleprompter and the reader voices can be a challenge sometimes. I wish there was a way to keep the PDF but have it remove the page breaks. Waiting for it to scroll to the next page kills the whole take. Or if it could let me edit the teleprompter text in the middle of a take then I wouldn’t mind using the import feature. Then I could remove some of the dialogue and action lines to match the pacing I need. I would also love if the voices could play back when we are done talking (like the cold read memorization app does) clicking the remote can be heard in my self tape and I have to remove the sounds myself. I don’t use the new AI voice because it takes much longer to record and doesn’t seem any better (yet). **Developer response:** Reply to update: Thank you for the valuable feedback! Please drop me an email at support@slatable.com so I can update you on your concerns. Thank you so much for the lovely review! I’m so happy the app has made self tapes easier for you—it’s exactly why we built it. It’s great to hear you’re finding the features and flexibility so helpful. Break a leg with your auditions and feel free to reach out any time! ✨ David CEO Slatable Inc. ### 5/5 — Just what I need *2025-01-09* This app has alleviated so much of my stress around self tapes!

One of the standout features is how natural the voices sound, you can record your own voice, and the app transforms it into a completely different voice that feels real and engaging. It’s perfect for scenes where you need a reader, but you don’t have one available. The variety of voice options ensures that every addition feels authentic, and I can focus on my performance. Another huge Plus is the excellent customer service. I had a few questions when I first started using the app and the support team was incredibly responsive and helpful that they quickly resolved my concerns and insured that I had a seamless experience. For any actor needing a self tape without a reader available, Slatable is an invaluable tool. It saves time, provides amazing flexibility, and has become an essential part of self-tape auditions. **Developer response:** Lia, thank you so much for your review! I'll make sure to pass it on to the team. We're really excited about the new AI voice changer so I'm happy to hear how helpful it is! Break a leg!! David CEO Slatable ### 5/5 — Good App *2022-03-28, version 2.6.8* Takes make it so easy to improve the audition. Keep it up ### 5/5 — Best customer service *2021-02-21* David from Customer service was amazing. Not only did he get back to me in a timely manner, he offered multiple suggestions when I was having issues uploading some files. Issues was resolved and couldn’t have done it without him, this app is the best. **Developer response:** Thanks so much for the lovely review! ### 5/5 — Audio Issues!!!! *2020-08-13* I have been using this app for YEARS now but unfortunately during quarantine I’ve now noticed that the AUDIO taped volume is automatically louder than my audition!!!! WHAT HAPPENED? I never had to use a mic before! And I have auditions due too soon to add anything to this tape now. Am I missing a way to do this where there’s balanced volume like before? What is this new issue????? **Developer response:** Sorry, you're having issues with the volume of the audio. The phone mic picks up the audio being played back so you should try adjusting the actual volume of your phone, so when the audio plays back, it's not as loud. Hope that helps! We’re always available at support@slatable.com and happy to help you out. ### 5/5 — Great app and customer service *2020-05-14* I highly recommend upgrading to Slatable Pro. My self tapes have improved greatly with the features of this app and the customer service is excellent—I’ve contacted them with questions and their responses are efficient and effective. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for the review! We really appreciate it! ### 5/5 — Makes things Easy *2019-03-09* Our business changed and Actors are responsible for putting ourselves on tape all the time. I hated it so much & felt so inept at it that I often would skip the opportunity...Until Slatable came along! Thank you for making it so easy that someone like me who has such a difficult time with technology in general can use it...you thought of everything! Every step is explained and the product is so Professional & exactly the parameters & guidelines that casting wants from us. Honestly, it’s a huge Relief not having to worry about that part of things so I can focus on the actual work! No more missed Opportunities! Thank you! **Developer response:** Thank you for the lovely review! So happy Slatable is helping you get more opportunities.
