## Review summary

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.
