LineLearner for Negative User Reviews

✓ Useless appCrappy, difficult to use. Interface is not clear. Never really was able to figure out how it works. Save your money. Just tape your lines with sound gaps on the voice recorder that comes with the iPhone..Richie Irish BoyVersion: 6.8.2

✓ Stupid Cumbersome AppNice idea. But no intuitive controls. How about a delete button? More time soent banging the device on the table than line learning. #fail.WesmaVersion: 5.5

✓ Almost unusableThis app after a couple of years is now almost unusable. My own prerecorded lines are sped up or only half repeated. Also the same with the other characters i have prerecorded. I have tried adjusting the settings with out success !!.Bavcjsn ckaVersion: 6.14.5

✓ Poor instructionsThe app works, but the instructions are extremely hard to understand..KleverVersion: 6.14.8

✓ One major omissionThis is a nice little app and pretty useful for Professional Actors too but...there is no 'during playback' skip. this means, when working through a scene and you want to run back over the last few lines, you have to first pause the playback, then select the line to go back to and then press play again. This is a usual thing to want to be able to do and it is proving very frustrating. I want to be able to just touch any line during playback to skip back to that point..JacalakieVersion: 3.2

✓ Poor performanceThe idea is good but it freezes after 1/2 an hour which is why I have given a rate of 3..Spaghetti legsVersion: 0

✓ Works well , but...Generally, it does help me a lot with learning my lines. I only find it weird and quite annoying that, once you record a track, you can‘t delete it! A basic function they still haven’t realized is missing. You basically can‘t make any mistakes when recording yours or your partner’s lines. If you do, you HAVE to put up with a useless track standing in your way and breaking the flow of the dialogue. I‘ve been waiting for them to rectify this issue for ages, but none of their updates has done so in the last 4 years or so....L S LondonVersion: 6.10.0

✓ Ash!Would be brilliant if I could get it to record script without sticking on a character every few lines and then continuing to count up seconds instead of stopping for next lines Recorded script so many times and this keeps happening. Driving me mad!!.PixypVersion: 6.6.5

✓ Used to love this app; now it’s frustrating.This app was so great. I used to recommend it to so many fellow actors. Now, it makes me waste so much time. Out of nowhere, the app will start taking a really long time (longer than the usual gap) for the recorded lines to be voiced. The only fix is to power down my phone and turn it on again. That’s time consuming and this will happen randomly in the middle of a line learning session. I don’t have problems with any of my other apps so it’s not my phone. I’m running the latest version. I emailed the developer weeks ago and have heard nothing..Anacaona1804Version: 6.14.5

✓ Has problemsI like to be able to change the pitch of the other lines, so there is a difference between my line and other. I like to highlight/select a few lines and have only those selected lines play or loop. instead of moving the lines to a scene and looping. I would like to save the lines to audio file and email and play pc or ipod etc. I would like to also see the line displayed typed on the screen as it's said. The prompt button should be size half the screen because it is difficult to press it without keeping an eye on it. Most times miss it and press other button..MichaelwwwwwwVersion: 3.4

✓ Worked well for a while now won’t load scriptsHad it for a while and served me well. But now i can’t see the scripts I import I click pdf icon and nothing shows. Not impressed.Dean11222Version: 6.10.11

✓ Great but...This app is perfect. Except I just went in and all the lines I'd recorded had disappeared. Am hoping it was a one of glitch as there's a lot of lines in this play and I won't have the patience to record them a third time....ReallaraVersion: 4.0

✓ Can’t get it off the instruction screenSo…. Totally useless..RishaMoonVersion: 6.15.1

✓ Great app, but buggy and could use more polishI've used this for every show I've been in for the past 7 years. It really works. There is one bug that drives me crazy-- when your screen locks or you go away from the app, when you go back into the app it sends a signal that you're hanging up a phone call (you'll hear the hang up sound) and gets stuck on the line it was playing; sometimes it also crashes. Other than that, there are some UI/UX improvements that could be made, like making it possible to move multiple lines around scenes instead of one-by-one. But overall, this app has helped me a lot!.WillJ22213Version: 6.10.0

✓ Pretty goodExcept it keeps disconnecting from my Bluetooth headphones. I switch to another app and they connect just fine, but as soon as I switch back to linelearner the connection vanished. It's a little weird walking around with your own voice playing out of your phone. Also, the send feedback button just kicks you out of the app. Otherwise pretty good. Slight learning curve as elsewhere mentioned, but you'll have that with anything..Pittsburgh's own little bleeding heartVersion: 6.9.1

✓ Can’t import PDFSpent money on this app, won’t let me import. Not great.Jussy 1964Version: 6.14.5

✓ Some actions don’t workI found this App quite good with the exception that instructions on editing a script are unclear. I still can’t Delete lines in a Scene despite selecting “Swipe to Delete” There is no “Delete” button in any edit screens? Maybe I’m not looking in the right place, however, the Installational notes don’t help you discover the functions listed..Train Fan21Version: 6.14.1

✓ Refund please!You can also record yourself and press stop and go to learn your lines. You save yourself £3.99. Honestly, there is nothing special about it..Miguel1289__Version: 6.15.1

✓ HelpLove the app but since the update there are some issues. When I have a lot of lines to learn in one scene I break it down into say, ten parts. I learn the first part then move onto the second. When I've learned the second part I move it into the first and do the whole thing. Then learn the third and move it up and so on. With the update if I move it up it remains replicated which means I have to delete that replica which adds unnecessary steps but the biggest hassle is that some of the lines don't have the bars on the right hand side which means I can't move them up. You aren't able to loop two scenes at once which means my method is poked. Was easy in the original. Any hope of an update? Other than that this app is a God send..PothPalmVersion: 6.6.5

✓ Good a few hiccupsI've been using this for a while and it pretty much does what it's supposed to and has been very helpful. It often randomly stops during playback which can be annoying. It would be nice if you had the option to speed up playback too..Jerry MarwoodVersion: 4.2

✓ Play back function is not workingI’ve tried restarting my phone and re-loading the app. All other functions work, just not playback. I’ve never had a problem before this. Also, the email offered for support isn’t valid..ReyoktamVersion: 6.10.3

✓ Okay…. could be a lot betterFinally figured out how to import the script, but it is merely a display. Does NOT actually import the lines to be used, basically just a DOCX or PDF reader in that sense, and cannot be edited for use in LL. Cannot copy stage directions from script to LL, must enter them manually. Having to record each character’s line is a bit tedious, might be improved by importing an existing mp3 file. i.e. I record the entire play, would be good to import and then edit “breaks” for each character’s line etc, and gapping for your own lines. An adjustable pitch would be nice, so that you don’t have the simple choices of High or Low. Good for multiple character scenes with an array of different character dialogue..Dave-SVersion: 6.7.6

✓ Good idea - BAD execution.This app could be so much better if the set-up was more sensible. The buttons and options are frustratingly vague and non-intuitive. The instructions are bloated. Moving from recording scene/playing scene/ editing/adding characters/playback options takes multiple trial and error, even after using the app several times. Options are ok, but hidden in a maze of swiping, toggling, and drop-downs. Too much time spent navigating the app than rehearsing lines..MertN94Version: 6.9.1

✓ OverpricedI like the concept, but not enough editing features. Went to settings to extend pause and didn't work, unless needs to be done before you start recording. At the price it's poor, can not even link to another iPhone/iPad user to make a scene. 69p would get it more stars.AfbooVersion: 4.2

✓ UselessSo buggy it just doesn't work. Freezes every time you want to change between modes. Lost all the lines I had recorded. It's a great idea and would be wonderful if it worked - but it doesn't. Shame..Quentin BickleVersion: 3.2

✓ Lots of Good, Hampered by a Huge BadThere are a lot of things to love about this app. But IMO, it's hampered by the fact that you need to create scene (or rehearsal blocks) on the fly, while you are recording the lines. There doesn't seem to be a way to easily create a new scene mid recorded script..KargoyleVersion: 6.15.1

✓ I wouldn’t spend money on this.The app doesn’t have many helpful features and I personally don’t feel like it helped me memorize my lines. I wouldn’t recommend this app..Christian7843Version: 6.9.0

✓ Unfortunately very glitchyThe all just stopped playing any audio. shutting it down and reopening does not help. was working fine before, but is unfortunately unreliable..OadejobiVersion: 6.14.5

✓ Not easy to import a scriptI wish there were a way to import the script and tie it to the recording. I learn by both ear and sight. Looking at a long PDF doesn’t cut it..Linguist54Version: 6.9.2

✓ Will not play through Bluetooth headphonesGreat app unless you have iPhone 7 or above, as the audio will not play through Bluetooth headphones, only through the speaker. There is no option to reroute the audio. Please fix.MissTillyflopVersion: 6.9.0

✓ Bought this two years ago and it used to be greatYears ago this was a nice simple app. Unfortunately I made the mistake of doing an ‘update’ now this app is so flipping complicated, vague, and unusable I’ve gone back to pen and paper. We’re actors not rocket scientists with psychic abilities. I never seen an app go from great to utter sh1t so fast..Sci-Fi SiVersion: 6.9.2

✓ PDF script import did not work.Clunky app. PDF script import did not work. Two stars bc the app developer did email me back to offer help..Squeaky Clean martiniVersion: 6.15.1

✓ Unusable“Not aware of any bugs” says the Help. So at least there are jokes. Crashes when you just look at it sideways. Says it supports importing a PDF script, but when I use the share menu to send a PDF to the app, nothing happens. The help scrolling has a mind of its own. Generally, the app is clunky and unintuitive. There has to be a better option. Also, it appears you can only have recordings for the lines. A complete line learner app ought to also support entering the lines as text and then playing them back using speech synthesis..Wanted a reference!Version: 6.10.0

✓ Best of your options, no subscription, one big thing to watch out for-This imo is the best of the line learning app options available. Pro- nice options for leaving gaps and pitching voices up and down is a good touch. BIG pro- no subscription, just a one time cost (sadly a dying breed of app). BIG CON- make a absolutely sure you put your scene breaks in correctly ON THE FIRST TRY. If you record and then try to change the scene breaks IT CANNOT BE DONE. The only options is so move hundreds of already recorded lines around the scene breaks which are set in stone. New scene breaks cannot be added into already recorded lines. So if you miss your scene breaks the first go round, you will NOT be able to change it, and you will have to deal with a giant block of lines so sift through every time you want to work on a specific bit..TimeTravluhVersion: 6.15.1
