There are a few things you may need to do, to make this work. If the recording using the default settings doesn't work, change it to the old format, that should give a better playback volume. Also, if you have a headset with mic, use that to record, so you can have the phone on the table whilst reading the script and pressing the buttons, as it can get messy trying to do it all on your lap. But once you've got around that niggle, the app works as described and I'm very happy with it.

Very weird interface, and it flat refuses to record most of the time, or cuts off the first 3 seconds of each line. Trouble shooting using the instructions helped (try turning off "high quality audio) but then it showed error codes. When I got in touch with the suggested email address for help, they never replied (Oct 2022, and now again Oct 2023).
I'm so frustrated with this app. I've been using it a lot. However, I can not figure out how to delete a recorded line. This is very inconvenient especially if I accidently record a line and want to delete it later on, my only option is so far to doubt over all the other lines right after that one line and therefore re-record the from there on ??? Why is this so complicated?! Also to move lines I have to scroll all the way up, push the love button and the. It needs to be more intuitive
Came back to this app after a couple of years. User interface is so, so confusing. Had to have a play to try and work out how to do what I wanted. When I finally got that done and started playing my recordings back, it was very quiet despite my sound being turned right up. Easier to use default voice recorder.
I can hardly hear anything on my samsung s9 even with head phones and my volume maxed out and the setting turned on for samsung and pixel phones. There isn't an easy way to skip back or ahead on lines. When I try to open the full instructions I get an error message saying the page is missing, same with the FAQs page. So far very unimpressed.
Best ap I've found for rehearsing lines. It will play back in multiple voices, and editing recordings is quick and easy. The multitude of playback options (leave gap for your line, play it after gap) makes it perfect for use in whatever phase you are in the learning process.
I very much appreciate this app; it really does enable line practice in several very effective ways. That said, the interface is a bit clunky, and I would definitely prefer that the "prompt" button toggle the prompt--i.e. start and stop/reset the prompt instead of starting/restarting the prompt--because I often want to hear only the first few words, but there's no simple way (that I've been able to divine) to simply stop the prompt once it's playing. Still, a very valuable tool, thank you!
This is a fabulous App with a Fairly Steep Learning Curve. You can't beat this app for the price, but learning how to use it requires some effort on your part. For best results, read the online documentation and watch the available YouTube videos. Also, start with a very short scene (or even part of a scene) to get a feel for how the app works before attempting anything major. Once you have entered the script, this app shines!
Not really usable, would not have bought this app if I had had a trial of 15 minutes with it. Interface is unintiutive, online instructions are lacking and seem to have been last updated when Google+ was still active and relevant, and the capabilities don't seem to be there (whether they are there and hard to find, or simply not there, I don't know).
Could be more useful. I used to be able to drive for a while and run my lines, but now it keeps pausing at random points when running in the background, and I can't switch from maps for the app to keep playing while I'm driving. If that was fixed, and a few UX improvements, it would be the perfect companion app for actors.
