LineLearner App Reviews

Loving this app.

Fantastic app- I use it every day for quick memorization. Auditions are so much more tangible for someone like myself now. Most useful app I have, its why I stuck with the iPhone when it was time for a upgraded. Cant say enough good things! Thank you!!

Excellent app with the features I wanted to help me memorize my script. Highly recommended!

I use this app ALL the time and tell every industry friend about it.

Update: I am in a play in Hollywood and the cast took my advice to get this app. Theyre all very happy with it. And years after buying, I still use this app BEFORE EVERY PERFORMANCE in the car on the way to the theater to review my lines in a speed through with the apps speed functionality. Were doing Christopher Durangs Beyond Therapy. The comedy is rapid fire, and this app helped me be able to relax and lock the words in my brain so I can have fun onstage. I cannot thank the developer enough. I also use for most auditions and when I book a film or commercial. Driving in LA gives me lots of time to run lines with hands on the wheel and eyes on the road. I love it!!! They just added a sleep timer! Its like the developer is reading my mind! Awesome! Update v6.0 AMAZING UPDATE!!! This update is fantastic and delivers several feature requests Ive made over the last versions. Speed up and slow down playback is so great! Recap my lines only- genius! Stage direction addition! The new graphics interface is great! This has been my only line memorization and review tool since I bought it (and I bought several others, but this one works best for me). As a working actor, I use this every week. On my way to auditions in LA, on my way to class, or just to review lines while driving. I highly, highly, highly recommend it. I dont know how much it sells for currently, but I would easily pay $10 for this because of how much I use it and how much it helps me. Im not just gushing, read my reviews below of the previous versions. I contacted the developer a few times with bugs and feature requests, and he took care of them and has now added those features! I havent used it but a few times since the update, so I havent encountered any bugs yet, but rest assured if there are any and you let him know, this developer will fix it. Thats a good feeling. This is my most used app on the App Store besides Waze. I love it. Thank you! Update: v3.4 Now the app plays in the background, yay mutitasking! This is a great feature added!! Added a star to my review. Well worth it. Im not sure if the script erasing has been fixed. I would love to see a new feature of SPEEDING UP PLAYBACK for speed throughs to practice lines and cues fast. This would be great. Adjustable speed. I use this app many times a week. Almost every day. I love it. Its still not perfect, but its the best line memorizing app on the market that Ive tried or bought. Great app, really great for line learning and solo practice, but totally needs MULTITASKING!!! I use this a lot while driving to auditions and jobs in LA. I set it on loop, but have to go back and forth to my maps app, and playback shuts off when you exit the app. Please add multitasking so I can keep playback looping in the background! Thanks! Update: Also, you need to able to re-arrange the order of scenes in a simpler way. (This has been fixed:) Holy crap! I just deleted one of my productions from an audition, and the app mysteriously deleted several other productions!!! For no apparent reason! The productions are still listed, but all of the audio and lines are gone!!! Now it crashes anytime I try to open one of the messed up productions! "recover" option does not work!!! Sounds like a database issue.

In my last production a cast member recommended this app, and I am so so happy she did. Im in the process of memorizing Hamlets lines for a summer show and this app has been a God send. I used to record my lines just using the recording device on my phone, but this app is much much more helpful. I will say theres a bit of a learning curve to figure out how best to use it, but once you figure it out I cannot express how helpful its been. Especially as Ive grown older (early thirties now) Ive found its taken more work to memorize lines. But this app is probably the easiest and most painless way Ive found. Best used when paired with walking around, doing mindless tasks, commuting etc. All in all, so thankful for this program. 100% worth the price.

This app has completely revolutionized line memorization for me. I love graduating through the stages of listening to every line, then gap-line for my lines, then finally just gaps for my lines. My turnaround time for being off book is absolutely faster, especially in situations where I have a lot to learn in a short time. One UX issue utterly baffles me, however. There is a critical menu that you will bring up often during playback that allows you to control gaps, looping, etc. The developer has decided to make that menu animate SOOOOOO SLLLLOOOOWWWLLLLYY. It is an annoying impediment to productivity. There is absolutely no reason that menu slide should take more than 250ms. I think right now its 1500ms with the bounce. PLEASE bring that duration down to 250ms and lose the bounce. The bounce effect is GREAT for folksy tutorial overlays and games, but it has no place in a productivity app like this. Other than that, fantastic work!!!

Used this for all the plays weve done in my theater class, the full version is customizable which helps if theres many characters or scenes. It gives that feeling of rerunning the scene over and over, really helps

The interface is totally crappy and confusing. After your line is read, it pauses so you have to keep pressing unpause. Its hard to customize your script and really only works for a script with lines that are said by one person. I tried to memorize my lines but gave up because hearing the other persons lines in my voice confused me and messed me up. Its so much easier just to run lines with a human. Overall, I would only use this app if all the copies of my script were burned and unreadable.

This looks like a great app on the outside. But this was the worst $4 Ive ever spent. The recording is difficult and cuts parts of lines off, the microphone BARELY picks anything up and theres no "speaker" option for play back. Its eithe earphones or leaning over your phone so you can try to hear the lines. Im sorry I spent my money on this. Before I was just using voice memos, and it looks like thats what Im sticking with. :(

This makes learning lines so much easier! Thank you! Just a couple of suggestions: 1. Allow playback through the speaker 2. Allow exporting the whole recording or emailing it.

I had an audition today and wish I could have had this while learning the sides. This makes line learning so much easier with the pages out of your hand and the settings are great! Having the prompt and the correct gaps is genius!! Thanks guys. I cant wait for the next audition to start using this awesome tool.

If you use the old tried and true method of making two tapes to learn your lines, this is perfect for you. You can record everything once, then playback with your lines to learn them, then playback without your lines to firm up your memory with audible cues. Perfect for anyone who learns lines using audio. Cant wait for an iPad version!

I recently had an opportunity to use this app to help me readily memorize my lines for Juror #8 in "12 Angry Men" (Peter Fondas role) -- thats a lot of lines and cues. The app did the job superbly! Very easy to record and manage your lines. Very easy to re-record my lines to shorten the gap once I became more familiar with them. Highly recommended to any actor whos friends and families are tired of reading lines with them. I also coach young performers community theater and am now actively recommending this app to our young actors. I used to record my lines and cue lines with Garage Band and then load it onto my iPod -- a serviceable, but far less versatile means for learning lines. This app is so much more versatile and flexible (offering features such as re-recording, managing separate scenes, playing "silence" instead of your line when desired, and a "prompt" feature). Thank-you for creating this app!!!!

Initially had a problem with no mic pickup, but fixes by deleting and re-downloading. Really a nice app. Nothing else quite like it.

I just downloaded this app on my iPad 2 and recorded my first scene. Well worth the $3.99. The instructional video was really helpful. The navigation is very intuitive. I have a lot of lines in the show and so far, its recording everything just fine. I hope you come out with an iPad version and allow current users to upgrade. Ill post an update after Ive spent some time with the app. Ingenious idea. Just what I was looking for. Thanks!!!

I have this in my iPhone and it works great!! My main use is really to cement the lines in my head once I have done a very cursory memorization. I hook it up to my car stereo so I get 70 minutes of rehearsal every day while going to work and back. I had a weeks notice before a play to learn about 20-30 minutes worth of lines and this helped me very much. I am now using it to help me learn Albany in King Lear. This will only be my 3rd play and I would be lost without this app. I highly recommend it!!

I found this app to be amazingly helpful in learning lines. Once you have recorded all your lines learning is a breeze. I love the different playback options. You can hear your cues and get prompts. A simple but effective tool to learn lines. Kind of like the old tape recorder method.

As a second year conservatory acting student in NYC this app is exactly what I have been looking for. User friendly, and its results for me personally are phenomenal. Keep up the good work.

Love this app!
