Need A Reader is praised as an easy-to-use, community-driven app that connects actors with readers for self-tapes, rehearsals, and coaching. Users love the swipe-friendly interface, fast access to readers, and in-app features like scheduling, saving takes, editing/re-uploading, chat, and pay/booking, all within a single platform. The app is affordable and even lets you earn money as a reader. Many reviews note it’s a game changer for last-minute auditions and for building a supportive actor network. However, onboarding and login problems, occasional bugs, and chat glitches affect reliability.

In this age of so many options to FaceTime and Zoom, why is there a 100 mile limit to connect with someone to read with you? It’s extremely limiting. 100 miles or a 1,000 miles - makes no difference to me for online readings. Maybe it’s a pay to play option, but don’t see it anywhere.

You’ll never have to worry about finding a reader again! I’ve used this app for self tapes and rehearsals. I love all the features to schedule, takes saved right in the app and pay/request payment.
