### 5/5 — Portable TelePrompTer

*2020-06-28*

What a great app for any speaker who needs notes or a script while speaking. I do a lot of speaking every week and PROMPTER has never let me down. And with the audio recorder I can easily make a recording without the need to use another program. The cost of the program is quite low, even with the extra purchase of the recording feature. Don't miss out on this great app.

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2018-12-29*

I tried to type in a file. Very tedious on an iPad it suddenly lost the file. I tried to import a file and it won't play the file then it was suddenly lost as well. A total waste of money with no support.

### 5/5 — Great for presentations!

*2018-10-19*

I use this for 3-4 presentations a week and it is one of the best tools in my brief case.  Easy to tweak any presentation for changing circumstances and to print out for a hard copy backup.  Being able to pause or change the flow rate has helped me become more spontaneous and natural in my speaking ability...Thank you for an Awesome tool!

### 4/5 — Great Prompter, but....

*2018-04-21*

As a public speaker, this is the only promoter app I use all the time. I recently purchased a new iPad and the audio recorder did not transfer over (which I did purchase).I have been trying to get in contact with customer service and have not yet received any response......

### 5/5 — Text formatting makes this the one to buy

*2017-12-01*

I’m gonna say that this is the one because it’s one of the very few TelePrompter apps that allows text formatting. And, to me, that’s critically important because I find that adding things like italics and boldface allows me to deliver scripts in the way they were meant to be delivered. Saves me a LOT of retakes! Love this app!!

### 4/5 — Best ever

*2017-08-13*

Simple to learn, simple to copy, simple to operate- I look and sound like a pro, thanks for being there for the little guy,

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2015-01-20*

I have never taken the time to review an app until now. If you are a public speaker this app is critical to delivering your presentation confidently without the need to fumble through note cards.

### 3/5 — Text disappeared

*2015-01-03*

I have three telepromter apps that I downloaded and this seemed to be the best one. Then it happened. While giving a 30 minute speech my text disappeared. I tried everything I tried inverting colors changing font nothing worked. The good thing was that I had my written notes and was able to finish.   I thought I was a fluke but it has happened two more times.  I will no longer use this app for live speeches

### 5/5 — Great app for podcasting, webinars, presentations

*2014-10-29*

Wonderful app to fine tune your speeches and ensure your podcasts are perfect.

I am using this app on an iPhone 6+ under iOS 8 and have no problems alluded to by others. I did find one minor bug: The estimated presentation times were off by a factor of 2, but that is easy to accomodate.

My production process for a webinar is as follows: 1. Develop presentation slides and add notes to be read as the speech to accompany each slide. 2. Extract notes to a text document (TextEdit) as RTF, 3. Edit speech as needed. No blank lines. Each paragraph gets some extra lead-in time automatically in the app. 4. Copy and paste result into Notes on Mac, which synchronizes with iPhone notes. 5. Copy and paste from Notes on iPhone into Best Prompter, 6. Practice speech a few times and tweak script as needed (possbily go back to step 3. 7. Go to production.

NOTE: I use a iOttie Easy One Touch 2 Car Mount Holder for iPhone to mount my iPhone above the camera on my laptop when recording.

### 1/5 — Not ready for iOS8

*2014-10-15*

I have used this app for quite sometime. However, after upgrading to iOS 8 it is no longer usable. I can't paste into the app and it barely responds to even typing into the document. Disappointed to see that they haven't gotten it together for the newest release. I did do the update that claimed the issues were fix...they are not. Still not working. Can't recommend until the changes are made.
