Script Reader

Script Reader is an application for reading screenplays and TV scripts.
A tutorial on how to use the app can be found here: https://imgur.com/a/lbLIEEl

Features:
- Supports PDF and FDX importing (PDFs containing scanned images will still be shown as images)
- Scripts automatically adapt to your device
- Script customization (font type, text size, character colors, ...)
- Character highlighting (long press on a character's dialogue to quickly access that character's properties)
- Night mode
- Read scripts by scrolling vertically like on a website (default) or by flipping pages by tapping left and right on the screen like in an ebook ('Book mode')
- Scene navigation: swipe from the left edge of the screen to see a list of all the scenes in the script. Tap one to navigate directly to that scene.
- Original PDF view: swipe from the right edge of the screen to quickly check the original PDF view of the script

If you have issues with the app (something not working right, missing feature, ...) or have a script that does not render correctly, don't hesitate to contact me. I will update the app as time allows.

This is the best app I've ever seen for reading PDF scripts on mobile 😊 Instead of having to zoom in on each page turn and scroll around to read tiny text, it's rearranged to make it easier to read than a printed copy!!! I no longer need to email copies to be converted by Kindle, this is way better. I would love to see a future version with the ability to add notes which get saved to the PDF file so I can give feedback to writers, I would gladly pay for that option - but regardless, this is a game-changer for me 😃

The app works ok but there are a few big problems. The scripts I recieve are watermarked with my name. The app reads the watermark and inserts the letters randomly throughout each page. This messes up the formatting, sometimes creating huge blocks of unformatted text and dialogue and screen direction mashed together, and then the app doesn't recognize the majority of actors' dialogue and in turn the dialogue highlighting doesn't work.

Godsent for reading scripts on the go. Have recommended this to people countless times. Request: The ability to highlight certain sections manually to add notes would be AMAZING. Still need to use a physical script and a pen for this, and it gets all messy and jumbled up most times.

The app is nice when it works properly. Unfortunately, it doesn't format correctly each script in pdf, so sometimes you can encounter issues such as blank sections. I give 3 stars for encouragement, hoping to see a better refined app in the near future.

Best and most useful app for reading PDF screenplays on mobile devices. Before Script Reader, had to hold phone vertical with lots of thumb scrolling for proper format. This app is a must have for anyone that reads scripts. It's as easy an ebook now. Thanks developer!

Really cool app. Those people who said app not working mostly try upload old scripts ( You can't copy text). I have just one problem because my native language not English, when I read PDF file I can copy word and get definition of word on my dictionary without exiting file. but in this app I can't copy text ((( Really sad

Excellent eye saving app. No more squinting at tiny text on PDFs and the colour coded character highlights is great. Top app.

So, before it used to start all over at the first page when you bookmark and exit, but now it actually returns you to your spot when you open up the app again and that's a major reliever! I'm so glad I kept this app u til they got that fixed.

The only screenplay reader I could find on play store, but that doesn't matter as this one has everything I wanted and needed. Thanks for this useful app!

Won't let me import sometimes and repeatedly force quits, would love to be notified if this is ever fixed and I'll give it another go.

Sort of ok. It does get the scene numbers wrong from the pdf so have to go on pdf view. Not the most handy .

I think it is okay but for people who can't read maybe it can have a setting that reads it to you
