If there are multiple screens on one slide it will only allow me to go to the first screen from my iPad. It only does this some of the time (now, most of the time) which adds to the frustration. I never know if it’s going to work until I get up front to preach. ### 3/5 — Works in a pinch *2026-05-10, version 5.0.11* I wish it had a better view to control slides than carousel view. And they should also identify slides with verse numbers, chorus, etc... ### 3/5 — Need to be able to edit on the app! *2025-11-21* The desktop installation version works very well and is light years head of what we used to use, no complaints there. But seriously, make slides editable on the iOS app! This ability has been available in nearly every other program for how many years now, and I still have to install a full-blown program on a desktop computer? Time to join the 2000s… ### 2/5 — Crashes every time *2025-03-02* I just bought a new iPad and I tried to use the remote and every time that I try to sign in, I tap the sign-in button and the app crashes. Please fix iPad Air 11-inch (M2) ### 2/5 — Needs a rebuild. *2024-12-10* In 2020 we were forced to leave Proclaim to use pro presenter for its Live streaming capability. We’re returning back to Proclaim, but are very disappointed W/Remote control app. Would be better if it mirrored the desktop. Colored coordinated;verses, chorus, Bridge, etc. Easy to get lost swiping left, and right during songs if there’s any changes made in real time. Were a semi-remote Church and unable to wire in desktop in back so we rely on apps/iPads UI24 etc.. It has some great features, but Please try again! ### 3/5 — Great concept but lacks stability *2024-11-24, version 4.2.4* The concept is great but sometimes the slides don't load on my phone even with local connection ### 3/5 — “Needed” Additions *2024-06-16* This app would be great, however I may be asking for a lot here. I think this would be even better if it had the ability to add things like scriptures or photos. I understand songs and videos may be difficult as you almost need a computer to make the necessary changes to them. Bible verses and photos are simplistic however. 3 out of 5 for now until this happens. ### 2/5 — Does not load all the slides *2024-01-31, version 4.0.2.0* Does not load all of the slides even if I have everything synchronized from the computer. ### 3/5 — Editing in remote app not available? *2023-08-04* Would like an easy way to edit screens from within the remote app. ### 3/5 — Great Concept but disconnects OFTEN *2023-05-07* The remote app is great as I know the timing of my sermons and slides. The Tech booth LOVES the concept of me controlling my own slides BUT THE APP DISCONNECTS OFTEN and is not reliable. I have my iPad and iPhone on standby and even these will not be allowed to connect, or they get kicked out with an “error” slide, and the Tech team has to stay on their toes to take over which is becoming a regular practice. FIX THE APP! Thank you ### 4/5 — Editing Support *2023-02-21* This app has been a saviour when it comes to wireless functionality and on the go notes. I think it’s time to take this app even further with editing capability. It’s 2023. No more do we exist in the era of iPads being used to view pictures. They are now becoming powerful tools that professionals are using across the globe. I really would love to see support for editing either on a different app altogether, or a modified existing version. ### 4/5 — Great app *2022-08-07* I believe people that are having connectivity issues are mainly due to networking and not the app itself. It works flawlessly for us but we have a robust wireless network. A few things I’d like to suggest or be able to help if this became open source since it’s just the remote and not the paid for app itself - slides to have banners like they do in the app, ex. chorus has a c and color, verse 1 has 1, etc, just like the app - change the preview mode, on a tablet, it be nice to have the tiles instead of a giant preview and a slider of tiles - the ability of On screen Bible to show the text in the preview Love that app (the main app and the remote)! Keep it up. More API commands would be great too! ### 2/5 — Very buggy *2022-07-28, version 3.12.0* It has a lot of potential but it has a lot of bugs. Sometimes it loses connection and I have to restart the remote. Not great when it disconnects in the middle of a presentation. Needs some drastic big fixes ### 4/5 — Remote works great *2022-05-26* This app does exactly what it says it will do. It would be that much better if it allowed you to edit or create new presentations as well. ### 4/5 — Good, but needs to have chorus or bridge buttons *2022-01-01* Works fine for going to the next slide, but for song lyrics it really needs to have a button to go straight to the chorus and bridge like the hot keys do on the desktop version The buttons would fit perfectly above the bottom slides preview Thanks ### 3/5 — Needs reconnect functionality *2021-11-21* Our church uses this app for slides during services. We keep an iPad on the stage for different leaders to have control of the slides from there, but we also partly control the slides from a laptop. If we switch presentations from the laptop, the iPad is disconnected. Every time this happens it is an ordeal. We would like the app to automatically reconnect when the presentation is changed. ### 3/5 — Inconsistent functionality *2021-01-24* Sometimes the updates cause more problems than they fix. On the whole, it’s working adequately. Could be better. ### 3/5 — Little functionality *2020-11-04, version 3.11.6* Very little usefulness ### 3/5 — Won’t work *2020-08-19* I connect great and presentation shows up. However, it will not let me control it. I have an iPhone 11 and the softwares updated to the latest version. Would give it a 5 star it if worked at 100% ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Does not work *2026-03-08, version 5.0.10* It closes ### 1/5 — Not able to login *2024-02-20, version 4.0.2.0* I’m not able to Login and it’s saying error when I try to put in forgot password to see if that’s the issue. ### 1/5 — Needs lots of testing *2024-01-13* We chose Proclaim due to it having an app, allowing the person controlling to see what is ahead. We have been using this app now weekly since July 2023. In that time we have had issues with it syncing to the presentation as well as four occasions where the app did not show all the slides. When checking the computer all the slides were intact. I have submitted support requests, with video and photo evidence, but support just say they cannot replicate, therefore the implied message is it is not their issue. They have moved to regular updates on the computer version and I find these seem to create issues with the app. The app should have the ability to put a presentation on air, as well as providing volume control. ### 1/5 — Would Be Great If It Worked Reliably *2023-04-14* I’ve never been able to rely on this app because it fails to connect of looses it’s connection so often. I would love something like the Keynote app for my iPad that allows me to control my presentation with confidence. When you’re in front of 300 people running a service, there isn’t room for app crashes or loss of activity. The only thing I use this for occasionally is to look up a slide in advance using the Follow feature, but even that isn’t always reliable. This basic level of dependability would be necessary for me to seriously use this app. Next level would be to let me edit slides from my iPad (as I can in Keynote). My iPad is my main computer. It would be great to not have to run to my Mac just to make a small edit to a slide. ### 1/5 — Not so great *2022-11-27, version 3.12.1* The remote apps rarely work. If the remote app doesn’t work correctly then why is the church having to pay for the program ### 1/5 — De lo peor *2022-08-09, version 3.12.0* De las peores apps que he usado. La app no funciona como control. ### 1/5 — No features *2021-09-03* Unable to do any editing of any kind. Please do a shrink down version of the desktop app. Thank you! ### 1/5 — Use to work *2021-08-03, version 3.11.15* I’m not sure what happen. Everything is to work fine but now it’s absolutely terrible. Please fix the remote feature ### 1/5 — What a Joke *2020-02-16* This app rarely every works to control the presentation. We have a new MacBook Pro with an up to date iPad Mini. We have the option of a local WiFi network with no internet or a school WiFi system with internet. It works on neither of those. When it does connect, it’ll time out, lag, or completely freeze. Resetting the app, the iPad, the computer, the routers. Nothing works. Our church will be looking into a better presentation software where the app control is more consistent and reliable. ### 1/5 — Can’t control presentations *2019-08-25, version 3.8.5* Logos doesn’t seem interested in making this app any better. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing *2024-11-03* Used this 2 years ago and at first the app didn’t work but recently downloaded it and it makes running the slides easier and allows me to take care of more of our media 5 stars ### 5/5 — Developers hear us *2024-09-28* The idea is very cool, the program is very cool, BUT DEVELOPERS HEAR US you can do it faster to switch slides, thank you, may God bless you ### 5/5 — Excellent And Easy To Use *2019-12-30* I use this app regularly and find it is excellent for what I require. I use it both on iPad and iPhone and it works very well every time. ### 5/5 — Review *2018-03-21* This was one of the first cloud based presentation apps. It is being constantly improved. I love the the web based sign screens. Simplicity itself. We have several screens around the church and they work flawlessly. Such a great feature! I recommend this to all my friends who don’t have trained staffs who operate their technical equipment because the program is simple to learn and use but has tons of features you can use as your skills grow, such as integration with logos, or CCI. I really love this program and our team does as well. I have eliminated several other programs because of all this does. ### 5/5 — Works Great! *2017-08-05, version 3.0.7* I see a lot of previous bad reviews talking about the the app crashing. I guess the problems are now fixed because I am not having those issues. ### 5/5 — Great! Plus some remarks *2014-04-22, version 1.1.7* This makes it so easy for the only tech savy person/pastor in the church to run beautiful presentations on their own. There have been crash scenerios that I have had the sound guy back me up by running the computer on my signal. They happen rarely. I wish they wouldn't happen at all but not so sure it is Proclaim; might be our Wi-Fi. East to use. Wish as others have said that I could do some editing from remote iPad. Overall, great package! ### 5/5 — Good software. Looking forward to new features *2014-04-20, version 1.1.7* A great application for work with the Proclaim media software. Looking forward to new features like slide edit for on the fly fixes ### 5/5 — Awesome *2014-01-02, version 1.1.6* This is awesome and will really Help out my church ### 5/5 — Awesome Software Package *2011-11-14, version 1.0.0* I love the software but I have a few issues controlling the presentation via my iPhone 4. It doesn't like to scroll, but I think that is my learning curve and not the hardware or software. 5 stars! ### 4/5 — Not Same as Desktop *2023-04-15* The app works just fine as a controller, but I am curious, do y’all have an app that is similar to the one for desktop? I have since switched over to using iPad only and now I cannot edit slides in collaboration mode with fellow church staff. Is there in alternative to this issue? I could really use help. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
