Weekend Read 2 2.0.10

“Staggeringly useful.” - Dan Etheridge, producer of Veronica Mars and Party Down

We are proud to present an enhanced version of the top screenplay reader in the market, Weekend Read 2. This application delivers a delightful reading experience by optimizing scripts for the iPhone and iPad retina screens, eliminating the need for squinting and constant pinching to navigate through scripts.

Weekend Read 2 supports various file types including PDFs, Final Draft, and Fountain, providing users with the perfect tools to seamlessly read every screenplay.

Developed by celebrated screenwriter John August and the renowned team behind the award-winning Highland, Weekend Read 2 has captivated Hollywood insiders.

Renowned filmmaker Rian Johnson, known for his work on blockbusters like Knives Out and Star Wars: The Last Jedi, shared his experience with Weekend Read: “With Weekend Read, John August and his crafty elves have transformed the tedious task of reading scripts on a mobile device into a pleasurable experience. Reading a script in Weekend Read on my 4-inch iPhone screen is more enjoyable for me than viewing a PDF in proper screenplay format on my iPad. It has even surpassed my preference for reading full-sized paper scripts."

In agreement, director Rawson Thurber praised Weekend Read, stating, “Weekend Read started as an app I didn’t know I needed and quickly became an app I can’t live without. It keeps you on top of your reading pile, not buried under it. It’s indeed remarkable.”

David Wain, renowned writer, director, and executive producer of hits like Wet Hot American Summer and Role Models, also lauded the application: “This is the ideal solution I’ve been dreaming of - it not only makes reading scripts (or anything) on the iPhone tolerable but actually a pleasure!”

Beyond its functionality, Weekend Read supports PDFs, Final Draft (.fdx), Highland files, plain text, and Markdown documents. Some key features include the ability to select from an updated range of fonts and text sizes, highlight lines with Character Highlighting, utilize Read Aloud to have scripts read at up to 2x speed, add page-specific notes while reading, utilize Dark Mode for night-time reading, efficiently navigate lengthy scripts with Page Jumper, curate your personal script library, discover new scripts from curated categories of screenplays and books, and optimize reading for all iOS devices.
