MyLines for Android

It is often a challenge to learn lines especially in a long script with many actors. MyLines offers ways to filter out the scenes and characters. You can learn the script by scene, role or line. There is voice capacity. Highlighting is a great option. As a director it has been a great tool to offer to my actors who struggle to learn lines. See my write up of Stage pro as well because that is another great app and I give BIG kudos to the tech support.

This app is a true game changer when it comes to ease of use and bang for your buck. If I can use it, anyone can use it. After purchasing, you simply select your script and voila! You can highlight your lines, edit your lines, hide your lines all with a quick tap. Your highlighted script goes anywhere you go on your phone. It is so convenient and much easier than recording an entire play as I’ve had to do with other line learning apps. MyLines is the best! You won’t be sorry!!

I’ve tried so many times to log in, I can’t. The app will not let me. I’ve deleted it, tried a new email, confirmed it, but nothing. Every time I try to log into the app, it brings up the pop-up and will not let me sign into my account. I can access it through Google, just not the app.

Seriously, it’s the worst. I just wasted two hours of my life.

In terms of functionality for learning lines, this app is perfect. Gives you lots of options helps you at each stage of memorization. There is a huge learning curve to the interface, yes. And it force closes, yes (although the force closing is very predictable and I’ve never lost any work to it, so I’ve gotten used to it as just that one part where it force closes). But this app has become an indispensable tool of mine. Also I once contacted the developers about somehow only being able to download the free version from the App Store on a new device even though I own the paid version - they were responsive, helpful, easy-going and lovely.
