AMAZING!
Great app!! So easy to use!
Love this app
I’m a real person and these are my honest opinions of the app. Finally, the one app every content creator needs in his or her arsenal to make videos that look and feel professional. The script’s proximity to the front camera on my phone gives the illusion that I’m looking at the viewer; no more “ah…” or “umm…” to delete in post; and a seamless monologue. Of course, you need to practice reading the script a few times before the final attempt to make sure you’re emphasizing the right words and parts. One suggestion for improvement is to allow changes of speed at different points in the script. When speaking naturally, which is what we’re all aiming for, one’s speed does change depending on what we’re trying to convey, sometimes even needing pauses. The other suggestion would be for the creators of this app to make a version for film making buffs who want a lot of control over shutter speed, exposure, white balance etc… Overall, great app. I’m thoroughly enjoying it.

Some clunkiness.
Using “cues” (a feature of the app that allows you to put stopping points in your script), is not implemented well. When moving to the next cue, that cue will stop on the center line, leaving only the top half of your screen for text. (The cue, just the text “>>>,” should really appear at the bottom of the screen, so each “page” of text from your script could occupy the entire screen.
The app allows you to edit your script as well. Unfortunately, when editing scripts within the app, the format changes to make the text span the width of the screen. This doesn’t give you a WYSIWYG view of your script, showing you what your edits will look like when you later actually read your script. And sometimes when I go into Edit mode, the app DOES display the text like it will appear when you want to read from it. This behavior is unpredictable on my phone.
So if you have a long script you want to put “cues” in, getting that to work is not particularly fun. But if you want to break up your long script into smaller passages and just use scrolling text, that works fine. However, you will have to import each section individually. And there’s no way to import multiple scripts.

App vastly improved my presentation.
I have a lot of material to cover in my talks to camera so need a script, but although I’m good at thinking, writing and talking extemporaneously, when I read from the page out loud, my brain ceases up.
I don’t know what it is about using a teleprompter and this app but I was shocked to find that I can read and speak to camera at length in a smooth and flowing way.
I think it’s something to do with the wide margins I format on either side of my script and the way I can use the analogue stick on a PlayStation controller to advance the script at varying speeds.
I actually feel empowered by this app.
I’m using the pro version now which is cool as I can put flares on some words that need to be emphasised while I read them out.
Strong recommendation for this app from me.

Everything* you need, nothing you don’t
Downloaded this initially to use on a shoot of Clive Davis interviewing some legendary friends of his for a TV special. The previous TPT operator was fired because they couldn’t keep up with Davis’ edits-on-the-fly to the script. I found the app very intuitive and easy to use. And the client (Clive) was happy with the performance.
*[Edit] Would love file management to be improved by the addition of playlists. As it is now, there is no “master” library. To create a “playlist,” you need to create a separate folder. A file/“script” cannot be placed in more than one folder at a time. Why would this be helpful? For use as a lyrics TPT for a function band or any event with a fluid lineup which would require switching scripts up quickly. If devs are reading this: check out ForScore, a music pdf reader/organizer which is the industry standard among pro musicians for a reason.

Does exactly what you would expect.
Got this to start doing some vlogging.
Really easy to setup and see. Loving it so far!

Great Tool
Since I have used the teleprompter, I become more confident speaking in front of a camera.
Response from developer
Thanks! Is there anything I can do to improve the app to 5 stars? 🙂
Rock. Solid.
It is rock solid. No sense of bugginess or volatility. I’m using it with iRig Blue Bluetooth foot controller to great effect. I would give it 5 stars if it had voice recognition. Was using PromptSmart for voice recognition feature but after paying for lifetime license they changed to a massively overpriced subscription model and removed the voice activation feature from my app. Very fraudulent. Glad I have a workable alternative now :)

Teleprompter review
Hi have been using teleprompter now for a couple of years , it’s a perfect tool for storing my songs on also its perfect for writing new material , the only issue I had was the timed scrolling would not stay on the song and I had to switch it back on every time I played on of my songs , happily this has now been fixed so 10 out of 10
Thanks Rodders
