Ratings and Reviews
Don’t question it. get it.
So you want to learn your lines and don’t want to pay those rip of subscriptions to do it. Well this app is the perfect rehearsal buddy.
Import script, select your character, tell it if you want it to read your lines or not, then you can press play and learn.
If the dev decides to make money from this, then I hope there is a lifetime license for a reasonable price, it seems some devs want a free lunch. I get there are some ongoing costs when keeping an app up to date, but paying every month just for a text ready is greed, paying over 100 for essentially something the iPhone can already do except recognise different characters in a script (when the script is in the correct format) the iPhone also can’t skip saying your lines like these script rehearsal apps can, and I just hope the dev doesn’t go the subscription route with this. It’s a great app, got an error with pdf at the moment, but it’s free and it works great when you import your text document script. Don’t know if you can import pages documents yet but if you can’t then would like that feature, would also like multiple voices you can elect for each character. This is on par with the paid subscription apps, also wouldn’t mind if there were ads to keep it free, but if that were the case, I’d much rather pay for ad free. A one off charge, I think £9.99 would be reasonable, though these are unique apps and don’t have millions of people after them, so if the dev did need to charge a little more I would consider it, so long as it’s a one off charge and not a subscription.
Developer Response ,
Hey Mr Yo Dude, thank you for your great review, very much appreciated! Pages files import is currently not supported, but you can export the Pages file to a plain text file and import that text file. Regarding multiple voices per character, I am not sure whether I understand your need. You can already select a different voice for each character. If you need a different feature, could you mail to feedback@scriptbuddy.app, please. Or you can leave a feature request within Script Buddy. Thank you!
