## What is OnCue Prompter?

OnCue Prompter is an IOS Teleprompter app that will work with iPhone's and IPad's and can be controlled over a network connection by connecting devices over Bluetooth or Wifi and can be controlled by any iCade multi-function Bluetooth Controller. By using a multi-function controller instead of a multimedia controller like the other teleprompter apps, you will have tons of additional functionality with the remote control like fast-forward / rewind, changing the font size, starting the script at the top again, and more.

You don't need any special remotes or remote apps to control the scrolling, it can be done using one of the devices that are connected.  Simply swiping the screen speeds-up and slows-down the scroll and tapping on the screen pauses.  

OnCue can also be connected to a conventional LCD style teleprompter via an HDMI/VGA adapter or using Apple TV.

It is really simple to understand how to operate OnCue Prompter. Most people figure it out in a couple minutes.  You will find the interface easy to navigate and the controls are similar to what you use on your iPhone or iPad every day. 

1. Rich Text Editor
2. Multiple Peer connections
3. View and edit scripts on wirelessly connected devices
4. Output in dual screen mode to Apple TV 
5. Output in dual screen mode to an LCD monitor or TV using a VGA or HDMI adapter for your phone. 
6. Uses any iCade style game controller to control the scrolling with these functions.

d. Double Fast-Forward / Double Rewind

### 1/5 — Good for free but not professional

*2020-05-25*

Has a pretty complete package of features but they’re buggy, it crashes, but the one killer for me is that the remote control is so laggy and jittery that I simply can’t use it for professional work. Then having no usable controller, I’m left to do a let of guesswork with clients and that’s a no no.

### 2/5 — Buggy, clunky, ugly

*2019-12-10*

When running in mirror mode it causes the device to go upside down even after you exit the app.

### 1/5 — Buggy

*2019-11-16*

This app is as buggy as a freshman project

For instance if the script goes to the end it starts over

Not a problem, but it stops responding to any commands

You have to reboot the app and don’t let it get to the end

Vendor is completely blind and says I am too dumb to operate it.

Master’s in electricAl engineering is too dumb

### 2/5 — Not there yet

*2018-03-30*

Buggy. Can’t use a keyboard when connected to the remote. And I can’t find the exit and other red buttons on the scroll screen at times. Requires killing the app way too frequently.
When working, it’s just fine. But that’s too inconsistent.

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2017-08-27*

This version of oncue is so cool, the app has come a long way.

### 1/5 — Nice concept, poor support

*2017-06-02*

I like the idea of using my iPhone with an ICADE controller to control prompting on my iPad--it's a great idea. Unfortunately, most of the ICADE controllers out there are cheap junk, with instructions in Chinese.

After returning one controller to Amazon, I emailed the developer to find out which ICADE controller they recommend. I have received no response, and at this point, the app is basically useless. I cannot recommend it, and I suggest trying other teleprompter apps in the App Store.

**Developer response:** We have tested OnCue Prompter with a variety of iCade Remotes and have found that every remote we tested worked with no issue. You need to make sure that the remote is the Game mode, not multi-media mode. We have not yet found on iCade Game Controller without English instructions.  You have also mentioned that you have tried to contact us regarding this matter but unfortunately, we are unable to find any email regarding this matter on our server, perhaps you emailed to the wrong address.  Either way, we have found that users are finding OnCue easy to learn and have had NO other complaints about iCade remote controls, and the popularity of the app is growing.

### 5/5 — Amazing Teleprompter

*2012-05-28*

I needed a better way to fine tune the scroll speed and this app delivered. It's a simple interface and that's all I need to read on camera.

### 5/5 — Love it!!!

*2012-04-24*

Very user friendly and self-explaining, i love it!!
