Cue-to-Cue is the line learning app actors have always needed. Built by a working actor who got tired of juggling printed scripts, voice memos, and scattered notes — and designed to replace all of it. Learn your lines the way you actually rehearse Record every line in the show — yours and everyone else's. Then let Cue-to-Cue run the scene: it plays the other characters' lines and pauses for yours. When you blank, peek at the line without stopping the flow. Jump back a few cues to re-run a section. It's like having a patient scene partner available any time, anywhere. Your whole show, organized Set up a show in minutes. Define your cast, organize by scene, and build your line list exactly the way you think about the script. Drag to reorder. Insert a line anywhere. Re-record anything with a tap. Share with your cast Export any show as a single file and share it with everyone in the production. A stage manager or director can build the show once — scenes, characters, lines — and the whole cast imports it in seconds. Everyone starts from the same script, ready to record. Start instantly with classic plays Browse a built-in library of public domain works — Shakespeare, Chekhov, Ibsen, Wilde, Shaw, and more — and import any of them with a tap. Full cast and scene structure, ready to go. Import your script Photograph pages with your camera or import a PDF. Annotate directly on the script — highlight your lines, black out text for a cover-and-check run, or sketch in your blocking freehand. Bookmark pages to jump back to them instantly. Record lines without ever leaving the script view. Built for how you actually work - Batch record an entire act in one session, or record line by line - Auto-transcription fills in line text from your recordings - iCloud sync keeps your iPhone and iPad in perfect step - CarPlay support for running lines on the commute - Manual mode for focused learning; auto-advance mode for performance-pace runs Cue-to-Cue is a one-time purchase. Buy it once, use it for every show. Whether you're on Broadway or in your first community theatre production, you shouldn't have to pay a monthly fee to learn your lines.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Acthound at Free against Cue's $3.99. Acthound also leads on iOS requirement (15.6 vs 26.0). Cue's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
