1. 5/5My original review disappeared.

   I run in this app on a gen 5 iPad. I bought this app wholly based on the voice tracking feature. I’d seen several reviews where people praised it as fantastic, worked great. And now looking on here I see many reviews saying the same. They’re all old reviews though. Something the developed changed along the way has made voice tracking work very poorly. I recently tried, again, using the newest update (v2.0.4) and, while its a little better, using is is STILL little more than an exercise in frustration because it will either jump well ahead of where I am in my script or simply stop tracking and scrolling at all, at which point I have to manually scroll to where I am, which seems to kinda ‘unstick’ it for a little while. Another behavior is I will get to the end of what’s visible, it wont scroll so I have to either manually scroll it or hope I remember what’s next, then all of a sudden it’ll catch up. Prior to the latest update I tested the app using a known good Lav mic with much the same results. That said, I use a mic to record my audio into a digital recorded. I have no interest in running an additional mic for a promoter that should hear my voice as it’s in a quiet room with very little echo. Seriously - whatever the developer changed that has screwed up voice tracking has made the app pretty much useless. I’m tired of waiting for a fix and am about to look for a different Teleprompter app and request a refund from Apple. This is ridiculous.

2. 5/5The best- despite a few bugs.

   It worked great until I upgraded to the subscription service. Then I started having all kinds of problems. At that point I gave it a one-star review. However, the company has been GREAT about communicating with me. I have found reasonable work-arounds for my main issues, and I have the impression that they are honestly working to correct the remaining bugs. When this thing works it is absolutely amazing. I have tried all the teleprompter apps I can find, and this one is hand-down the best- even with the bugs that remain. I am looking forward to upgrading to a five-star review when they fix my remaining issues. Update- I have been using this for several months. They have still not improved the editing feature (it is very buggie). I payed for the extended version because I wanted the script assist feature which is supposed to allow you to place cues within and have the script skip over these when reading. If this feature is enabled it causes many issues like randomly jumping to the top of the page. The extended version is just not worth it for my money. Still, it is the best teleprompter app out there. Update- They fixed everything. Five stars! I am so happy with it now!!!!!

3. 2/5Not that impressed

   For its price, I just don’t think this app does that much. Sure it’s scrolls, which is great. But, you cannot successfully import text from outside, text apps, and then expect them to show up in this app successfully. In other words, when you bold text in a word, processing app and import it here, the bold doesn’t show up. When you italicize text in an outside word processing app and import it here, it doesn’t show up. And, the app itself tells you to use its word processing capabilities, which are super limited. You can only change the color of text. You can’t build it, you can’t italicize it, you can’t do anything to it, apparently, but color it. No, as to the voice control scrolling; that is a joke. When we tried it, the script jumped and stalled and would not continue after the first paragraph. And, I could not find a way to change the color of the prompt guide, which insists on being blue. This is a very poorly featured app, and so much could be done to make it great. But perhaps they just don’t care. When I reached out to the company for tech-support, I got a very paltry response, which provided nothing but a link to their help so-called health page, where they tell you that you can’t use outside word processing apps to create scripts and then import them. It’s too bad they don’t disclose all this before you purchase the app itself. Anyway, their help was no help at all. So, even though we spent money on this, we’re going to go shopping for a better app.

4. 5/5JUST GET IT!

   Wow! I am so impressed by this app. I’m a total newbie to filming videos and using this app gave me the ability to record myself in record time and appear much more competent and confident on camera. I had previously tried to memorize my scripts and it took hours of work, not to mention all of the extra time and effort it took just to get the right shot and then edit all of my ums and other filler words out of the final video. I’d also tried other teleprompter apps before and the speed thing was such an issue. I just couldn’t get it to work for me. It felt so forced. Now this app has completely changed all of that for me! The voice recognition feature is an absolute game changer. All of a sudden I am able to record videos in a few minutes instead of what felt like an eternity. This is something that seemed so far from reach for me before and all of a sudden it’s a possibility thanks to this app. Now that I use this app I actually enjoy turning on my camera and recording my videos. I use my noise cancelling lapel mic and connect it to my phone using the adapter and it works really well. Honestly this app is such a valuable tool and the best $20 I could have spent for my video production. If you are on the fence about trying it out I’d say, try out the free version to test out that the voice recognition works well with you and your microphone and if so then go ahead and get it. Just make sure that you are using a microphone that is actually connected to the phone (NO Bluetooth), speak clearly, avoid having too many background sounds and you are golden. Seriously tho, my parents where vacuuming and my neighbors dog started barking very loudly during my first test and it still worked great so I guess it’s kind of resilient in that sense. Thank you so much to the developers and the team that created this! I am super grateful! 😀🙌🙌🙌

5. 1/5Buyer Beware

   I bought this app years ago, and I had dozens of presentations stored on it. I bought the app before it offered subscription options. The files were saved in the app on my device. These were presentations I wrote and delivered. My intellectual property. I loved the app and used it regularly. I had no reason on earth to think the data I was inputting into it would ever be lost. Only a month or two ago, I got a new iPad and the files did not migrate over to the app on the new iPad. So I told myself to make sure to figure out how to export or download those old files so I could save them before getting rid of the old iPad — or to figure out how to migrate the old files over to the new iPad, which one would assume would be a cinch. So here we are at holiday time and I have a little extra time to put into this. Went to the old iPad — and wow. The new version of this app had been updated on the old iPad too, and ALL MY DATA WAS GONE. I have been writing the developer all morning, and there is apparently no way to get the data back. Why? Because the app has been updated, and the files never migrated to the new version. Why? I have no idea. They can’t explain it to me. They just say, “Apologies.” Honestly. I am shocked and heartbroken. I will never use this app again — ever. If you do, and if you care about your content, make sure to have another copy of it somewhere. That’s a basic tech habit, I know, but my iPad saves to the Cloud, and why on earth should anyone think that an app update would just ZAP your content?? I loved this app. I will never trust this developer again.
