My phone said I was connected to the right WiFi and I was in airplane mode but absolutely no luck. I kept getting an error message. This was so frustrating. I was lucky to be HoH so I was able to enjoy some of the show but I did miss quite a few parts since I wasn’t able to fully hear. Very frustrating experience. ### 2/5 — Timing issues *2026-01-28* Closed captioning typically runs a second behind the actual voices. This gives individuals who can hear, but have trouble processing the ability to reference the closed captioning for what they missed. This app runs both behind and ahead of the speaking. The app will glitch and jump over text at times too. It would be more helpful if the app scrolled through text as they do with live tv instead of changing screens similar to a PowerPoint presentation. The app is better than nothing, but it needs a lot of improvement to offer true accessibility to the hearing impaired. ### 1/5 — Freezes/Glitchy *2026-01-26* Went to see Moulin Rouge yesterday. I filled the instructions in the app to connect which it did. During at act one the app froze, jumped or failed to the point I tried rebooting my phone and/or closing the app and started again. This app is a failure. Do not rely on it for Cc. I missed so much of the play it was super frustrating! ### 5/5 — Great app *2024-10-06, version 3.4.10* Wow this worked perfect. Just saw Lincoln at the Ford ‘s Theater and this was perfect. ### 5/5 — Family Able to Enjoy Lion King *2024-08-30* I found out about this app and encouraged my deaf husband to try it. We were hopeful but also know how captioning devices usually don’t work well and would enjoy the performance no matter what. Thankfully this app worked. I can hear, so I would glance over to see if the captions matched with the actors and it was spot on on the timing; my husband was able to laugh along with the rest of the audience as jokes were told instead of seconds later. Surprisingly it also captioned background noises: “thunder” “ominous noise” “laughter”. It was so wonderful to be able to enjoy a performance as a family for the first time ever. Thanks! ### 5/5 — Lion King Charlotte NC *2024-08-30* Used the app to enjoy The Lion King in Charlotte with my kids and wife. We wanted to take advantage of last minute tickets so scheduling an ASL interpreter. I was able to adjust color of font, size of font, and brightness with no issue. My wife can hear and she said the closed caption was right on time with the actors and it was correct for each character. She said a couple of times when characters improved it wouldn’t match the words, but I was impressed it actually offers closed captions for the singing parts as well as background noises like “thunder clapping” ….ominous sound”…. A+ app. Thanks for providing so I could enjoy with my family. ### 1/5 — Didn’t work *2024-08-27* Dissapointed, went to see Hamilton and the app froze. Couldn’t use it! ### 5/5 — Helpful! *2024-08-04, version 3.4.10* Tried this app the first time today. Really helpful when they are talking fast or involving accents. ### 5/5 — My experience was fantastic *2024-06-06* I rarely write reviews but I read a lot of them and after reading some of the negative experiences in here, I felt compelled to share my first experience with this app. I Just came from watching Hamilton in NYC, where this app was used for Captions. Nearly all of the show it was right on with the dialogue and that was better than I expected given the rapid fire delivery in this play. Setup was easy enough following the Instructions. I couldn’t see the text well enough at the default brightness, but in the settings you can fix that and also change the font size. Having the captions on my phone on my leg -without bothering anyone nearby - was a game changer for me during many of the parts of this play. Thank you developers and the Hamilton production for making this available! ## Frequently asked questions about GalaPro ### What does GalaPro do?
