User Reviews

Users praise Weekend Read 2 for portable, readable scripts with easy annotation and a clean library of content, including Scriptnotes offerings. However, multiple reviews highlight core drawbacks: the shift to a subscription model with perceived high cost; frequent import/formatting bugs (PDF and Final Draft) that misplace text or fail to import; UI/UX issues that prevent full-screen reading and make settings hard to use; inconsistent Read Aloud playback; and slow or missing customer support.
Pros
  • Excellent for reading scripts on the go; different formats help focus on language and catch errors.
  • Strong annotation features: highlight, take notes, and share quotes.
  • Clean, easy-to-use interface with a helpful library of scripts and Scriptnotes content.
  • The automatic viewer is useful even in the free version.
  • Great for learning screenplay writing by reading scripts in a portable format.
Cons
  • Subscription pricing is a major concern; many users prefer a one-time purchase.
  • Import/formatting issues: PDFs and Final Draft files often misformat or fail to import.
  • UI/UX problems hinder full-screen reading and make settings hard to access (small popovers, persistent bars).
  • Customer support responses are slow or unresponsive.
  • Read-aloud/voice features are unreliable or non-functional.

This app simply rocks. It elegantly performs as advertised, taking you off the screenwriter’s Path to Insanity — that is, pinching/scrolling/zooming PDFs in perpetuity — and allows you to read scripts on your iPhone! Weekend Read is a game changer.

I heard about this on scriptnotes. It’s incredibly useful for reading on the go. Plus, it helps give me a new perspective on my own writing . You get so used to the shape of your script on the page that seeing it in a different format really helps me focus on the language itself. Helps my brain finally pick up on all those little errors/typos I’ve read over 1000 times on autopilot.
