Easy to use

This app is so easy to use and so intuitive. I can perform all the functions I hoped to do all in one space and store it and adapt it for different shows. Very impressed.

Absolute Gamechanger

This app is honestly such a game changer for stage management. It makes keeping a digital prompt book so much easier and has so many genius and useful features. Everything feels really organised and easy to use, whether I’m in rehearsals, updating notes, or calling a show. It’s saved me so much time and made my workflow way less stressful. I genuinely couldn’t imagine going back to working without it now.

So much quicker

The cloud backup and other features are nice. But oh my god the speed from receiving a script to having it marked and ready to use is great. The cue sheets are really handy asw for just starting programming.

FINALLY

It’s pretty wild to me that this app didn’t exist years ago. As a theatre producer (and occasional SM) I’ve been desperate for an app that makes the hell that is marking up a script that much easier. Super impressed with the ease of use of PromptBook, and the fact I can use my Apple Pencil with it on my iPad is extra delicious. Would thoroughly recommend, could easily become an industry standard.
