Ratings and Reviews
LOVE IT if Apple will Fix the PDF Script Bug
I completely love this app. I was using it so consistently to prep for all of my auditions and productions. Unfortunately it’s stopped working due to some bug that Apple needs to fix. I hope they can fix it soon since I’ve been waiting for months now for it to work again. Haven’t been able to find another app like this. It’s perfect for the actor that needs a reader.
Developer Response ,
Thank you for the fantastic 5-star review! It’s great to hear the app has been such a helpful tool for your auditions and productions. I appreciate your patience regarding the PDF issue, which, as noted in the app, is related to a bug in Apple’s framework. I’ve reported this to Apple and am hopeful for a resolution soon. In the meantime, I’m continuing to explore any possible workarounds. Your support means the world to me—thank you for hanging in there! Please don’t hesitate to reach out through the app with any other feedback. 🎭
With some developer help 5 stars
I had some initial problems with the app not registering/recognizing aspects of my script but it turns out it was an issue with the .PDF file. Developer contacted me and helped fix it, and just like that the app worked as intended.

Dear Dean,
thank you for your valuable feedback!
We would love to fix the issue for you. I have replied to your feedback email you have sent us: if you could mail us a copy of the pdf file in question we will have a look and will help with the issue so that you can start rehearsing asap. We would love to see you becoming a happy Script Buddy user!
Technical background: Scripts typically start with a title page that contains at least a title line. If there is no tile page Script Buddy should detect that and import the script without issues. You could add a tile page as first page to your pdf and it should import into Script Buddy correctly.
Looking forward to helping you successfully importing your pdf script into Script Buddy.
This app is PERFECT!
How does this app not have more ratings? I have been paying a lot for another app to help me rehearse and memorize my lines, and this app is much better!
I HIGHLY recommend!!!
