The Actors Access app is only ok but limited. It's annoying you can only view two locations, unlike the website where you can view all over the US + Canada. For some reason when I upload my auditions and check back to make sure it uploaded correctly the audio never works. So I have to go to the website or my computer to make sure it uploaded with audio. I also have a suggestion for Actors Access as a whole. When CDs reach out to actors many times they'll say "if you have any questions, please reach out" but more often than not they won't leave an email, probably assuming we can simply reach out through cMail. Could there be a way to be able to reach out through cMail to the CDs if we have any questions? This happens ALL THE TIME and would be very helpful on the actor's side!

I have been exclusively using this app to submit to roles since it was announced, I love being able to get notifications directly through the app. I only ever look at the website to read my Cmails and submit self tapes. I decided to look at the “breakdowns fit for me” on the website today and was shocked to discover not every role I qualified for was showing up on the app, it seams like some roles just randomly don’t go on the app for whatever reason, even though they are a match for me. For the 25 breakdowns on the first page of breakdowns fit for me on the website, only 20 show up on the app. Very upsetting and disappointing. I love the idea of the app, but it’s just not there yet. One other problem, you can’t see the project “type” once you click on it to see all the details.

While I do love Actor’s Access and mush credit it with most of my success as an actor this app falls very short when compared to the website. 1. You can not access you’re c mail.2. You cannot submit auditions.3. When submitted for a role, you cannot go back and amend you photo choice, add a comment, or attach your demo reel if you initially forgot or were to hasty when clicked the submit button.4. Apparently not all roles are making onto the app(this is based on other reviews I’ve read/ heard).5. There is no separation in the feed. When I get notifications for 5-10 new roles I have to scroll down the list to find where exactly I left off last time I was on the app. I can simply count of then number of projects because some have more than one appropriate role and I can’t look for the “Submitted” icon because I might well have passed on the last several projects offered to me. I often waste several minutes re-reading roles I passed on, there need to be some sort of indicator or separation between the new roles and those you’ve already seen.6. You can’t access your profile. You can’t make changes, add new photos or videos, change resume or measurements. You can’t do anything.All in all, the app is a nice thought but for the most part, a waste of time and space.

I have been using this app for a little over a month. And the only thing this app has been doing is sending me a thousand notifications of supposedly new roles. But every time I look it’s the same roles. Then today when I tried to open the app. The app turned black and wouldn’t even work. I even restarted my phone (to get it to work again) thinking it was my phone. But every time I opened it It’s black and won’t let me do anything. Overall Im just really disappointed in this app. When i downloaded this app I thought I could see my whole account and access my profile. Maybe upload some videos and work on my profile on the go. But sadly you can’t even do that. I honestly don’t even see the point of having the app since it clearly doesn’t work and doesn’t allow you to do anything else but audition.

AA has been working on this app for years - and what this app does is very disappointing. Their website is still in need of an update, as well. A few things I’d love to see: 1) Turn off notifications / ‘roles fit for me’ for different projects / roles (non-principle roles in student films, background work, theatre, industry, voiceover, etc). 2) A way to c mail projects that have sent an eco cast. 3) A required field to include a phone number when sending an invitation to attend an in-person audition. 4) Show which headshot was submitted in c mails / eco-casts. 5) A link to director’s reel. 6) Get rid of Slate Shots and Slates in general - this is a New York City theatre trend and doesn’t apply to film. They know who we are, who we’re reading for, and our stats are available on our resume. 😜 2, 3, and 5 mostly apply to non union films that don’t have a formal casting office or a known-body of work - perhaps that could be applied to just those projects.

App works in terms of finding and submitting for roles. When it comes to submitting for auditions, it’s very disappointing. Have had on many occasions where audio issues occur because recording on IPhone with the ringer silent can affect uploading on a computer. The most frustrating of all is when uploading self tapes through the phone, video will be at full bar percentage and then suddenly just disappear. Have missed out on many auditions because of this and have had to decline and explain that the app is not working. Really hope this gets solved. Update: changed from two stars to one star as the problem has persisted ,leading to continuous missed audition opportunities and only being able to decline and leave an email in hopes for a response back. Completely unacceptable for having the yearly subscription.
