The patented Parrot Pro Teleprompter is the worlds most portable and affordable teleprompter! Use it in your home studio or take it anywhere you need to film your next video. If you have ever tried to memorize lines for a video, then you know how challenging it can be.

Teleprompters display a script in front of the camera so the actor can read their lines and maintain eye contact with the audience.

Combined with virtually any smartphone, the Parrot Pro Teleprompter will take any script and scroll it in front of you so you no longer need to worry about what to say on camera. It's innovative design removes all the unnecessary components which allows you to mount the Parrot teleprompter directly to a standard DSLR or digital camcorder lens, or mount to any support with a standard 1/4-20 thread. It's compact size makes it easy to throw in your camera bag and take it wherever you go for your next interview, on location news report, documentary, video blog, podcast, corporate video, video tutorial, or speech.

### 5/5 — Download , you will see the difference and its free and has dropbox integration. Very cool

*2026-02-09, version 3.0.12*

I tried so many apps before finally jumping onto this app, so easy and intuitive at the same time this app is, sure you won’t get many reviews online but since its so amazingly simple to use, it doesn’t need paid reviews for this app. Job well done. The cool thing is that it’s completely free and has dropbox integration. Just hit download and you will thank me later. It’s that amazing. Love from india.

Lost a lot of my work because of this app.

### 2/5 — Works but buggy

*2025-10-21, version 3.0.12*

Extremely buggy, glitches out keyboard even outside of the app when trying to edit scripts. Ok when it works.

### 3/5 — Hardware is very cool

*2025-10-05, version 3.0.12*

It should not have guess work. What file types are supported for syncing? Beats me, doesn't say in the app.
had to change to one stsr. drop box just doesn't work. wasting a lot of my time for nothing.
I'm torn between one a d 5 stars because using the product is awsome but the drop box and file types just don't work like implied which is really annoying to figure out, but it's so useful as well. idk hopefully they bother it, with how active they are you'd think they're defunct.

### 1/5 — Kills the input keyboard

*2025-08-28, version 3.0.12*

Trying to edit a script kills the keyboard for all other apps. Terrible bug.

### 4/5 — Good but bugs

*2025-04-24, version 3.0.12*

Overall good app. However, it regularly causes issues with the iPhone keyboard. After and sometimes while using the app, the keyboard will no longer pop up to type. I have isolated the issue to use of this app. Hopefully they can correct this as it’s very frustrating.
