“Staggeringly useful.” - Dan Etheridge, producer of Veronica Mars and Party Down
We’ve made the best screenplay reader even better.
Weekend Read 2 makes reading screenplays delightful by optimizing scripts for iPhone and iPad retina screens. Never squint and pinch to read a script again.
Whether reading from a PDF or a native file like Final Draft or Fountain, Weekend Read 2 gives you the tools to make every screenplay a smooth and easy read.
Created by screenwriter John August and the team behind the award-winning Highland, Weekend Read 2 has Hollywood talking.
“With Weekend Read, John August and his crafty elves have taken something that was the worst thing, namely reading scripts on a mobile device, and turned it into the best thing. I find it more pleasant to read a script in Weekend Read on my 4-inch iPhone screen than to read a PDF in proper screenplay format on my iPad. I even prefer it to reading full-sized paper scripts.”
- Rian Johnson, writer-director
(Knives Out, Poker Face, Star Wars: The Last Jedi)
“Weekend Read started as an app I didn’t know I needed and quickly became an app I can’t live without. Weekend Read keeps you on top of your reading pile, not buried under it. It’s seriously amazing.”
- Rawson Thurber, writer-director
(Red Notice, Dodgeball)
“This is the perfect solution I’ve been fantasizing about - it makes reading scripts (or anything) on the iPhone not just tolerable, not just painless, but actually a pleasure!”
- David Wain, writer/director/EP
(Wet Hot American Summer, Role Models)

Ratings and Reviews
Really Good, But . . .
I really love the idea for this app—especially because I use Highland on my Mac and love being able to see my files on my iPad. The interface is clean, and the library of scripts is a huge bonus
But, when I try to open the reader settings on my iPad, a small popover appears, and I can’t interact with it to change the size or font because it’s so small. I dabble in developing and know this could be easily fixed by switching this from a popover to a sheet. I hope the developers see this and make this incredibly easy fix that would make this a five-star app!
No full screen? No thanks.
I love the original Weekend Read. I have been using it since it first came out ... nine? years ago. I use it on my iPad and my iPhone. I recommended all my friends who want to read scripts. It's unfortunate that they want $15 a year to use this one. Even $15 seems a bit high, considering what you get. Give me a break. Most unfortunately, you can't read scripts full screen! The top bar and bottom bar do not disappear, ever. I'll use iOS' built in file reader. Sorry, dudes. You're not getting my $15 -- and I'm not using the free version -- if I can't read full screen.
Also, the text to speech is garbage. It uses the crummy built-in Siri voices. Let's try using some AI powered speech, since it's simple to implement.
Fix these things, and I'll consider it.
It still cuts off the tops and bottoms of many script pages
Back in the original version of this app I discovered that many of my scripts lost text that was in the first few or last few lines of each page. I reported this and they said they were working on a new version of the app so I'd have to wait for that. Now that new version is here - at a subscription price - and... The bug is still there! I've reported it again but no reply. I guess I won't be renewing my subscription. To bad cause it's a great way to read a script when it works. Another interesting way - the voice reader - hasn't worked for me even once. Same results on both my iphone and ipad. Yes I reported it but no solution has been forthcoming.
