Pricing
What does Rehearsal 2 cost?
We’ve priced Rehearsal 2 so that any performer can afford it: it’s just US$19.99. Yep, twenty bucks. That’s it. You pay once, and use Rehearsal forever. Oh, sure, like any software, there may be major revisions to the software that may incur a charge, but we’re up to version 2.02, and no one’s paid a dime beyond the initial twenty bucks.
The point is, we heard you when you said you wanted a paid app that gave you unlimited usage, rather than a subscription model. And we gave it to you.
Hi David,
I’m having real problems at the moment sending scripts to myself. I’ve tried sending my PDF script from two e-mail accounts now (both have been added and approved) yet it’s still not appearing when I click on Add New Scripts. Is this an error or is their just a time lag before it appears?
Thanks and great idea for the app. Also great work on Heroes! I’ve never missed an episode!
Best regards, Lewis
Thank you for your kind words on Heroes, and thank you for watching! I will look into why your scripts haven’t shown up – I just did a test and things are working for me. Let me dig into it further, and I may ping you offline to examin your scripts. Size may be an issue – you can’t send a file larger than the gateway of your ISP (Hotmail). But let me check.
David
Hi,
just giving a try to your app.
It’s me or there is no way to add a photo from the Photo Album?
I’m not an actor but a video-scenographer, so my needs are more about to link images from Photoshop rather than from the camera.
antway, it’s a very clever app
If you’re talking about the Photo or Video Comments, then yes – just double tap next to the line you want to add a photo or video from your Photo Album to, then choose the last option, below the Shoot Video option (if you’re in landscape mode, it’s not visible unless you scroll). It’s called From Photo Library – there you go! We had no choice in terms of those buttons and the From Photo Library being “hidden” in landscape mode, but it’s completely visible in portrait mode.
Did that answer your question?
Thank you for your fast answer.
This app is so nice and has fabulous design(I’ve ever seen!).
But, I am a student and my major is Law- so I don’t have any presentation to use this app…
Sooner or later when I get a job and then I’ll use this app.
Just going to try this out for a film script.If i get on set and i’ve improved i will not only bestow theatrical style kisses upon you i will shout about this app from the rooftops,

Wow…that’s a lot of pressure, Paul. Let’s hope Rehearsal can be all that and a bag of chips for you. Let us know if you need any help or tips/techniques on working with film length scripts. Do make sure to rename your scenes/takes when you record them: if you’re recording for rehearsal, say, scene 18, make sure when you’re done recording you rename the scene something like Scene 18 Take 1 (Rehearsal will iterate the take number for you if you record it again later). It’s been working like a charm for me on the set of Pizza Man, a feature I’m shooting opposite Frankie Muniz. Thanks for giving Rehearsal a shot!
I love this app! I’m always getting my husband to run lines with me, because I need to hear the lines to learn them. This app is awesome for the iPad. I’m preparing for an audition tomorrow morning! Thanks!
I am so happy you like it! We found in our preliminary survey that, not only do you learn your lines faster and with more accuracy when you speak them out loud, you immediately begin exploring the different ways the character can say the lines.
Go knock ‘em dead and get that part!
David
Thanks David! I rocked it at the audition! One feature suggestion I have, (or maybe it’s here and I just don’t know how to use it) is…a pause button, for both the record and the play back.
Sending all my actors to this site. No more excuses!
TERRIFIC app! Thanks David. I would suggest a wish for future features is to somehow sync scripts in a cloud or locally so that I could open up the same script on either my iphone or ipad and retain any markups/annotations that I have made.
That is actually on our list of enhancements forthcoming – we’re working on a lot! I appreciate your kind words as well.
David
Hey David,
Just wanted you to know that on the basis of Patrick Fabian and your own recommendation (okay and that you worked at UDK with my wife Carol LOL) I’ve signed up. Look forward to seeing how this goes…
LP
Glad to have you aboard – please let me know if there are any issues I can help with.
David
Nice app thanks
i am a high school teacher and my students started using this in class.
I cant see lots of them paying for rehearsal but that doesn’t detract from a great idea.
A couple of suggestions
a bare bones feature limited version for a lower price that might hook kids and prospective purchasers of the full program
a lap/desktop interface that can sync with rehearsal in the phone on the phone (or perhaps there is already?)
a interface with calendar so students can access, sync and edit rehearsal and performance schedules through the app
good luck
It would be really nice if rehearsal could support word documents as well. makes it easier when you are using your own scripts since you may make modifications during the course of the rehearsals. just a suggestion for future upgrades.
Done. That’s how much we care about what you want.
Actually, Word docs have been supported from the moment the app was available – if there’s any place in the documentation that infers that we only support PDF, please let us know.
Love the app! This is going to be very helpful learning lines and keeping notes. I recently upgraded to ver. 1.2 and was hoping to have multi-tasking features with it, ie: I hoped it would save my place in the script when I came back to it, but no luck. Hopefully, that’s a feature that can be added in a future update. Also, I thought the scribble mode would be great, but with certain characters I write, I keep bringing up the comment options screen. -Guess I need to learn to not lift up my finger. Lastly, it’s definitely taking longer to load the script (just see black screen for several seconds). Still, overall, this is a great tool for actors -Thank You!
We’ve noticed that the comment sheet is being generated, especially if you write quickly – the letterforms that require two strokes (a K for example) are being interpreted as a double tap in the new OS. We’re going to get that fixed ASAP. The app should remember exactly what you were doing and where you were in a script’s scene – it does for me, but let me know under what conditions you’re seeing this, and we’ll take a look at it. As for loading, mine seems to be “quadranting” when it draws – one quarter of the page at a time – Brian and I will figure that out as well.

I’m trying to download rehearsal the app. The link on this page is not finding the download page.
Do you know what might be wrong with t?
Hi
Disregard previous comment. I was able to download it!
Should have Educational pricing. It’s way to much for us in our Tv Production class with all these budget cuts. Pro prompter was only $5 with unlimited scripts cause we bought their hardware.
We are members of Apple’s Educational program, so if your school is also a member, you get Rehearsal for 50% off. Get in touch with me via email (davidlawrence@gmail.com), if you have any issues.
How do I access a script that I have paid to add into My Scripts but which didn’t transfer due to a network timeout?
It’s going to be in the lower portion of the Add New Scripts menu – Already Added Scripts.
I have been having problems adding scripts. (it worked only once for me after multiple attempts, and not since).
When I have tried to make a voice recording using the audio record function (it was a long one – an hour long since I was using the app to work on one act of a play), the audio app said I had no data when I tapped to play my recording!. I know how to use the function properly as I have used it often for short scenes of several pages in the past.
Is this a case of too much data in an audio file? Is there a limit to what can be handled ? I am on an iPad.
Thanks very much
It sounds like you might be running out of room on your device – an hour is a lot of audio at full fidelity (10 megs per second), so you probably should take that long act one scene at a time. The limit is the capacity of your device.
hi,
is there a way to bookmark the script. it takes a lot of time to scroll back if you leave the app on page 115…
kind regards
jonkj
We recommend that you break your longer scripts into individual scenes – not just for quick access, but to make memorization and scene study/character exploration more manageable. You shouldn’t be taking an entire feature length script and trying to manage the entire manuscript. We are looking at ways to get to individual pages faster.
Hi David, are there any plans in the future to make this available to Droid users? One of the reasons I went with droid instead of the iphone was because of the additional apps they have that the iphone doesn’t. But this is one they don’t offer and I’ve heard really great things about it so I’d love to try it out.
Unfortunately, not at this point – the sheer number of phones that use the Android OS yet vary in their control interfaces make it difficult to consider either Android or Blackberry. On the plus side, you might want to consider an iPad – Rehearsal’s awesome on an iPad.If that changes, or if an Android developer surfaces that has a solution to the interface issue, we’ll talk about it here first. And – I love reading your blog. Thanks for asking.
This app sounds like it would be good for some additional applications — you might want to consider marketing to the following:
- those learning speeches (including Toastmasters and college students taking required public speaking classes)
- teachers rehearsing a class from notes
- those trying to improve voice quality for reasons other than acting (in addition to the obvious of being able to hear yourself, one source suggests practicing by reading aloud)
- foreign language/ESL students — English as a Second Language (ESL) is a big deal these days and it sounds like an in-your-pocket language lab
I haven’t tried it out yet, but I plan to do so. Enjoyed the video.
Just wanted to add my .02 regarding the landscape two page scanned script format. I have the same issue. I’m using the iPad version, so just the ability to rotate would be enough for me- not concerned with separating the two pages into separate pages. Rotation makes this work for me if you could add it.
Regards,
Will
We love when people other than actors find Rehearsal 2 useful – we’ve heard about many, many other uses for the app.
Hi there…I’ve been using Rehearsal for several months and I am very happy with it. I just downloaded Rehearsal 2…as new versions or enhancements become available will we have to pay for them? or will we be able to download the upgrades?
Major revisions, yes – minor updates to fix issue or add minor tweaks, no – just like other software. In the case of Rehearsal 2, we added enough new features and changed the price to flat rate that we warranted a new version. We have a number of items we’ll include in free maintenance upgrades. Is that helpful?
Awesome thanks for the quick reply. Should I delete the first version of rehearsal since 2 supersedes it? Or is it advised to keep it?
Whatever works for you – when you’re starting work with a new script, bring it into Rehearsal 2 – and when you’re finished with the last script you marked up in 1, then you can delete it. You’ll always have the scripts you forwarded on our server (until you delete them manually), and you can always bring them in to 2.
Just got this and I LOVE IT! Took no time at all to figure out, and it is a lot of fun to use. One question, is there any way to delete a script?
Yes – use the Edit button in My Scripts (it’s in the upper right hand corner of that screen). Glad you’re enjoying it!
