## What is LivePrompter 2?

LivePrompter is a teleprompter for live musicians - it helps you show and automatically scroll the lyrics and chords of your song. Its Windows version is already being used for live gigs and rehearsals by musicians across the world. Now the second generation is here, running on multiple platforms, so you can use it on your smartphone or tablet!

Built for live musicians
-  Display lyrics and chords of your songs in nice & friendly type and colors
- Automatically scroll your lyrics in time with the song, without the need to manually turn pages (of course you can still do that if you want to)
- Use text files in the popular ChordPro format that combines lyrics and chords; thousands of songs are readily available on the Web 
- Easily transpose songs or adapt the displayed chords for capo use on your guitar 

Hassle-free operations
- LivePrompter is designed to be used on-stage with a minimum of interaction
- Operate easily via touch screen or keyboard
- A complete live performance can be operated with just one pedal, button or key
- Control LivePrompter remotely via MIDI, or send MIDI commands to connected equipment
- Create a network connection between LivePrompter devices, controlling them from a "master" device

Organize your repertoire
- Organize your songs in setlists and step through them in sequence
- Create collections of songs ("books") within your repertoire (e.g. "Live Songs", "Unplugged", ...)
- Create multiple LivePrompter configurations and repertoire directories to manage different projects or bands
- Share song files among band members, with individual content shown for each musician from the same song file

Did I mention it's free?
- Yes, LivePrompter is absolutely free, no strings attached, no ads, no hidden features, no phoning home. I built it for my own use, and I couldn’t be happier if other musicians find it useful for their own live experience. 

IMPORTANT: LivePrompter needs your song files to be stored in a Dropbox folder, so you’ll need a Dropbox account to use LivePrompter. You will need to authorize LivePrompter to access your Dropbox, so the song files can be downloaded to your mobile device.

### 2/5 — Why dropbox?

*2026-07-13, version 1.5.7*

Weirdly, have import files through dropbox

### 5/5 — Great App - Thanks

*2026-04-30, version 1.5.7*

This is great, yes it needs a DropBox account, but the free 2G option is fine.  The only niggle I had was link LP to Dropbox, I had to delete the DropBox app then do it. It has setlists and “Books” where you can tag a song as a favourite or a particular band set or both. Highlighting works well. Setlists lets you define the song order, add breaks (set 1, set 2) and add notes like “change guitar”

The online help is very good, I recommend you reed it. Its input format is the standard lyrics with chords [Am] in line with the [C] text.

Now just need to work through my song list to add the tags to make best use of the app.

Thanks

### 5/5 — Superb teleprompter

*2026-01-19, version 1.5.7*

Just an excellent solution for working musicians. I use it on iPhone, iPad and Windows tablet. Can’t thank the developer enough for putting this together for free!

### 3/5 — Works well but….

*2025-11-17, version 1.5.7*

…sadly what lets it down is it’s dependence on Dropbox. I would happily stump up
for a paid version that didn’t require a Dropbox account.

### 2/5 — Doesn’t connect to Dropbox

*2025-10-20, version 1.5.7*

Won’t work as won’t connect to Dropbox

### 1/5 — Doesn't sync with Dropbox

*2025-10-06, version 1.5.6*

Only option to get txt files in is syncing with Dropbox. However, you can click "login to Dropbox" 500 times and it won't do anything at all. 

App is useless for new users until this bug is fixed.

### 5/5 — Much needed tool for solo singers

*2024-09-03, version 1.5.1*

Was looking for an autoscroll to perform live with a guitar and this was the option. It did take a while to figure out how to set up both pc and iPad and get it all synced but I finally got it to work well. I think I found the best app for this, the scrolling is smooth, the colors help to see where you are in the song and I can copy paste from sources on the internet before making any changes and uploading to this app.

### 5/5 — Labor intensive but worth the time!

*2024-01-18, version 1.4.5*

I have used the app to scroll my lyrics and chords during practice and gigs. I have also slaved two other band members phones to mine so we can all see the metronome and sequence of the song. Thanks to this free app!
