Line Notes Reviews

I am actually a stage manager using our schools IPAD so I came here to write a review on my phone. I am in love with almost everything about LineNotes! It lets you add notes which is what I was missing from my old line notes app. The setup is sleek & it seems user friendly. I like that you can send notes to the crew & SM team as well! There are a ton of different options on what you can mark for a note.
However, I don’t think I can use this for my rehearsal process. I sent an attachment but it sent as a mail drop bc the pdf is so big. When I tried to view the pdf of the document, it had the entire script with words highlighted. As an actor, I feel like I would be unable to understand what the different colors mean. It would be helpful if it had words I could put next to the highlights like “PH” for paraphrased. Also, it should only send the pages that they Rcvd notes on. The pdf is too big otherwise. Also I wasn’t able to see any of the notes that I wrote & the script got a little messed up.
I tried seeing what it was like I After I downloaded LineNotes, I had to redownload “files” from LineNotes Store to try and open it. I made 2 test notes on it but it is taking several minutes to load. I can’t manage to get it opened on LineNotes & I don’t think my actors are going to try as hard as me.
I really want to use LineNotes, but I don’t think my actors would be able to understand how to use it. A simple pdf with the pages that actors rcvd notes on, some sort of key they could decipher, & a section to the side would make me use this.
I am so happy to see LineNotes & know it will get huge in the future! Can’t wait to be able to use it!
