Great App!

I’m confused by the low reviews, this is a clean, simple, easy to use teleprompter. It’s the best free one available and lines up perfectly with the notch in IPhones

Nothing but bugs

This is the most ridiculously unreliable frustrating app I have ever used. Sometimes it works perfectly connects, seamlessly with my laptop to cut and paste text across and allowing me to edit spaces and text within the app.
However, more often than not the keyboard disappears, and there is no way to make amendments once the text is copied across.
Sometimes the paste function is not existent either .

It seriously needs improvement!!!

The app itself is very good but the add is just so annoying and makes it more for amateurs than professionals

Cant even Edit

Cant even edit text, laggy, it had so much potential. fix it asap!

Formatting

What happened to the formatting? It’s all over the place after the last update. Words are cut and dropped to the next line for no reason.

Please fix!! Then this should easily be a 5 star rating.

I first got this app a few years ago and it worked perfectly. Now it randomly splits words and they can’t be fixed when I copy and paste a script from an email or word doc. It has really compromised the use for my clients. Please please fix!! Surely it must be a very easy thing to do?

Please please pleaseee fix these bugs

The Teleprompter is nice and the packaging it comes in is great along with a carrying case. Unfortunately, the app that you have to use with the Teleprompter is absolutely awful. When I try to import files, nothing happens when I copy and paste text and go to use it. It changes the word spacing, I try to go fix it and come back b but it will still be laid out weird making it difficult to read and having to constantly start over. It’s extremely disappointing because the Teleprompter itself like I said before is nice, but I am searching for a different option as far as how to read off my prompts. I’m truly hoping they can get these bugs fixed and make a more compatible app for this Teleprompter.

Used to be functional. Now doesn't even load

Just a white screen. Super annoying

Scuppered by an update…

It used to work well, but the latest update puts in random breaks in words, making the app barely usable. Disappointed.

A little clunky, but can be made to work

Was hesitant with all the negative reviews and I did run into some problems myself, however as of January 2025, the app does work.

I would recommend to those reading that you simplify your approach, take your desired document, copy and paste the words into notepad on Windows or textedit on Mac and (important) make it plain text. Then save out a .txt file and place that .txt file somewhere you can access it from this app (you will see the options when you open it - there are a bunch.) I used DS File as I have a synology NAS server, but you can use iCloud etc.

PDF or word documents gave me significant compatibility issues, however plain text files work as you might expect.

A small grievance is the words are sometimes split into multiple lines, which can be uncomfortable when reading, and it’s not practical to edit this out, but it’s not impossible to deal with this. You just need to concentrate when presenting and take your time.

Overall I’m happy with this product given it is a budget offering and one might expect some small compromises.

Fix the text issue

This app is a nightmare to use. The texts get broken into the next line even when you copy and paste.

PLEASE FIX

Sad

Was originally working brilliantly, would have recommended buy ive lost all my scripts. The app has suddenly changed, at the bottom where it used to say 'new lines' as in the preview pics, its all changed now!

Newest update totally broke the app

Very sad

Horrible app

App update deletes all previously stored contents.

What happened!!!!

This used to work just as advertised until this new update 10 hrs ago. This version is unusable. You can’t edit the text, all the navigation is in either Chinese or Korean, even when you select English!! The edge of the text box is now the limit of the device so the text gets cut off when scrolling over the back camera!!! How can you release this update?? I paid for this app about a year ago and had no issues now I have to find a different software

updates are making it nearly unusable

The latest update is terrible! It’s harder to customize speed and font size. It’s also impossible to edit a script now. Please change it back!!

Broken in latest version

Updated to latest version, all old scripts have gone. Can’t create new ones because it won’t let me type in the text box at all. Massive shame, was great until now but it’s totally broken

Complete trash!

I was excited to use this app for the teleprompter but the app doesn’t work at all!

It loads and it lets me type in a title but that it. I can type my actual script. Nothing work on this app. I will be returning the product.

Remote function is not found in the app

I got this prompter expecting to use the remote it came with.
The app has no function to use the remote at all. A video instruction says Desview premium but it is no where to be found.
I am downloading teleprompterPAD to use its remote. I wouldn’t putchased its device if I was not able to use its remote.

Incredibly Jumpy …

I give Desview a 2-star opposed to 1-star due to its excellent and lightweight teleprompter equipment. I was also excited to see that it came with a remote! Convenient right? Wrong.
We constantly found it more reliable to use our fingers to start and stop the prompter as the remote would frequently cause the script to jump back to the beginning or close the app down entirely. I do not recommended downloading this software.

Sometimes the whole package is just to good to be true. If you are reading this and have already bought Desview’s teleprompter equipment, I suggest using it with a more reliable app that you may unfortunately have to pay an additional cost for.
