LineLearner

This app is great. I started out using Rehearsal Pro, but the bugs in that program eventually made it completely unusable (although I love the concept of that one). This app, on the other hand, seems flawless. There’s a small learning curve, but watching the video tutorials helps thru that part. Entering in my lines was easy - I loaded up the entire play in about 2 hours - and once that’s done, you have so much power. it’s like they thought of every possible adjustment to assist you through every single stage of memorization. Unlike Rehearsal Pro, you are not seeing the script scroll in front of you as you memorize, and that threw me at first, only for like a minute though. Because it ended up with me learning the lines aurally - only through listening - and not visually (by seeing the lines), which usually happens for me at a letter stage of the process. Nice looping feature so I could also get up and walk the blocking when i was ready. The interface is bare bones - no extra flashy junk, which is better. Simple, effective, light, fast and powerful. Feels like it was designed by actors just brainstorming the perfect way to use handheld technology to help them do one thing, and then get out of the way. Really great job, designers and developers who made this. I thank you profusely for coming up with this and implementing it so well.

This app has everything I need to memorize lines quickly by listening. I love how easy it is to record the script and how I can change pitches to distinguish my lines from other characters. I use it for every project I’m in and it’s very worth the price, especially since it’s just a flat fee with no subscriptions or ads involved. It’s just a simple tool that works if you memorize by listening. I can now review my lines everywhere I go without seeming like a total nut talking to myself. I also really like how you can choose where to gap the lines so you can start to test yourself more and more. Overall I’m super pleased with this app and it’s a must for actors in my opinion.

I am actually using this to learn Spanish. It is fantastic. Very user friendly once you learn the basics - which doesn’t take long. I record a series of sentences in Spanish and can adjust the looping and the gap for review. So helpful! Also, if I make a mistake recording a line, it it super easy to rerecord and fix it. Since the other sentences are separated out, I don’t have to rerecord all of the other sentences, just the one I need to fix. This allows me to work on very targeted sentences and word forms while I am doing chores, going for a walk, or anything. Also, for $4, it is SO worth it! Thank you so much for this app!

I started using this app a year ago, when I had to learn a two-hander show in 2 weeks. Helped me enormously! I’ve used it on every show since then. Works WONDERFULLY! I usually learn off the page and in rehearsals - this is such a welcome addition to memorization. Now I can walk around and run lines with earphones - do housework - walk around the city - run lines in car with Bluetooth - great for sitting in traffic! Interface takes a little time to learn - but WORTH IT - and many options for playback - other character line then ‘gap’ where you speak your lines - or other character, then gap, then recorded line (my favorite), other options as well. And speed thru capability for fast ‘Italian’ run. Also great for monologues - just break it into chunks/beats and record each as ‘separate’ line. Works like a charm. Also app developer has been very responsive with any questions & suggestions. Everyone should use this! Get off book quicker and easier!!

I’ve been wishing there was a program that I could run my lines on my own- this ap exceeded my expectations. Developer thought of everything- easy to use and record the script (don’t rush- you’ll need the right timing once your off book!), tons of playback options to help you transition from learning the lines to just running them, easy to delete or change lines if there are any script changes, you can flag a line you’re having trouble with, etc. bought the full version and I’ve been sharing it with all of my actor friends!
