### 3/5 — Crashes A lot After Update

*2025-11-25*

iPad 5th Gen, iOS 16. Crashes after about a min of use. Worked fine before the update.

### 3/5 — There is an issue with icue remote

*2020-12-31, version 7.2.86*

I own 3 ios machines : ipad mini (10.3.3), iphone 7+(13.4.1), ipad pro 2018 (14.2). .. icue remote don't work with ipad pro : it does not connect : does not turn green on the 2 machines. Otherwise great app, Thank you

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2020-09-20*

This software is by far one of the best teleprompter software in the market. Thank you so much.

### 1/5 — Icue a disappointment so far

*2020-04-28*

They give you a lot of information and there are some interesting options but they never really tell you how to turn it on and start it. Thus I cannot use it.

### 5/5 — Best app for teleprompter

*2020-01-21, version 7.2.5*

Thank you! I tried different apps. Yours is the best.

### 5/5 — Solid!

*2020-01-20*

I’ve used this for several years, no issues

### 5/5 — Excellent promoter app!!

*2019-09-05*

This app offer so much flexibility and customization if using the iPad as a promoter or as a screen and controller for an external display. Formatting is brought along from a google doc very well, excellent app all around!

### 4/5 — Awesome the app is still maintained

*2019-02-16*

Great Teleprompter app. I researched for a few weeks before deciding on this one. It works very well for for my videos. There is a learning curve when using markers etc... but it’s beyond flexible regarding what you can do. It’s more Teleprompter than I need for a great price. No subscription nonsense here.  

This also works very well with the remote app for the phone.

### 2/5 — Remote auf iPhone X fehlerhaft!

*2018-06-23*

Der Teleprompter-Text der auf iCue auf dem iPad Pro gezeigt wird, wird zwar auf dem iPhone X (iCue Remote) angezeigt, läuft aber nicht automatisch mit! Somit kann man das iPad als Teleprompter nicht richtig fernbedienen. Bitte nachbessern, dann gibt es auch 5 Sterne.

### 4/5 — Peut être le meilleur actuellement.. en attendant mieux

*2018-01-25, version 7.1.2*

Si vous essayez d’utiliser un prompteur, vous constaterez rapidement que ces logiciels sont tous balbutiant. Leur interface utilisateur et leurs possibilités sont très modestes. ICue est d’après moi, à l’heure actuelle, le meilleur de sa catégorie: possibilité de lire du word et pas seulement du texte... Importation à partir du cloud (iCloud, dropbox, google drive), et surtout beaucoup de possibilités pour gérer le défilement à distance. Mais iCue a encore des lacunes: il a du mal à comprendre les listes à puces ou numérotées (il mélange un peut tout quand il y a des listes) dans les fichiers word, et bien qu’ils disent qu’il peut lire du .rtf, il n’a pu lire aucun des fichiers .rtf qui lui ont été présentés... Donc encore des bugs. Et si un bon designer d’interface voulait se pencher dessus, cela lui enlèverait son look “windows 95” un peu désuet 😊...

J’attends aussi des prochains prompteurs qu’ils sachent lire du pdf ou du PowerPoint, et qu’ils disposent aussi d’un mode page à page, en plus des fonctionnalités actuelles... 

Cela viendra... un jour
