Know your type. Tape it. Send it. Rolevo is the toolkit actors actually use between auditions — figure out how you read on camera, build the materials that get you seen, and put your best take in front of people who matter. DISCOVER YOUR TYPE Take the archetype quiz to find the roles you naturally read for, see working actors who share your lane, and get a casting blueprint built from your own profile — not generic advice. RECORD SELF-TAPES WITH A READER Record your scene partner's lines in your own voice, then perform against them. The reader listens for your cue words and comes in on its own, so your hands stay free and your eyes stay up. Or use the teleprompter to scroll your script over the camera for monologues. BUILD YOUR MATERIALS Import an existing resume by photographing it, or build one from scratch and export a clean PDF. Get honest AI feedback on your headshots — framing, lighting, casting impression — and a shot list tailored to your type. GET REAL FEEDBACK Send a take to friends or mentors with a link. They watch it and leave timestamped notes. No account needed on their end. SHARE YOUR WORK A public profile and shareable resume link, with full control over what's visible.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Rolevo at 5.0 against Frndly TV's 3.6. Rolevo also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 17) and ads (none vs shown). Frndly TV's advantage is ratings volume (2.4K vs 6) and device support (4 vs 2). On price and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Frndly TV sells 17 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Rolevo asks for nothing beyond the download.
Rolevo holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Frndly TV has 2.4K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Frndly TV ships an update fortnightly, Rolevo every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
