Impossible to trial
Before I buy I would like to try it out, even if its promptsmarts own demo text. There is no demo file nor can I add a small file to test the app before I buy. I have no idea if the app is any good or not.
Terrible
Was hoping this was going to solve some problems, but it’s garbage. Doesn’t work. Not intuitive. Can’t use all the features. Would be much better just to give us full access to the real app for a 3 day trial. You’re probably losing out on so much money with this setup (assuming the app actually did what it’s supposed to do and in my short sample size it did not).

Useless
There are no instructions on here and it doesn’t tell you how it’s recording or if it’s recording and it’s a cut and paste app that’s it. There’s nothing that it tells you it’s recording.
Maybe add some basic instructions to start with eh…

Lite version
Use of this is not intuitive. I want you to put in a title and then the story and then you hit the play button icon and you assume that it’s recording you well it doesn’t go into settings and you try to turn on video recording it once you upgrade don’t like that if they’re gonna limit you to the length, it should be all the feature

Waste of time
Why not give a trial of the full pro version, this version is limited to the point of being completely useless. I wanted to buy the pro app after testing, but every feature in the free version is blocked. I don’t understand how this app gets such high ratings when it doesn’t function.
Disappointed
I decided to try their free versions before possibly buying the $29.99 app. I will also add that I have a brand new pro iPhone, up to date, no issues with any other apps, immediately after opening the app and trying to test out the prompt feature it crashes. Not only on this one but the other one they also have for free. Safe to say I will not be buying the paid version.

Need the paid version to be useful now
You can not operate this version now as any useful function is only an available on the $29 pro version.
False Advertising-useless
App claims you can record up to 3 minutes — but you can’t record at all without paying. You’re not offering a ‘lite’ version, you’re offering a fully locked one. At least let people try it before charging. This was a complete waste of time.
Won’t let me activate trial
The app won’t let me activate the trial period, it only wants to upsell me to the Pro version!
Terrible Lite App experience
Downloaded this Lite version of the PromptSmart Pro Teleprompter app and it won’t let me do anything. If you want me to pay $30 for your Pro version you need to let me experience in the Lite version what the Pro version can actually do.
Hit and miss.
The idea is great. The format looks great. But having tried to use this in action many times, I gave up in frustration with its unreliability. Sometimes it would lag behind or jump ahead of you. Not worth the stress of wondering if it will be stable, especially if you are speaking to a time limit. If you don’t mind looking unprofessional as you try and find your spot in your speech, I guess it’s ok.

I couldn't get this to work at all
I downloaded lite and tried to use it in "limited" mode. In this mode there is no functionality to test the product. I finally figured out how to load a script and turn on the recording but have no idea where the recording went to see how it looked.
Apps does not work as it should
And I keep running into the issue that is start to shut down on me. Only after 5-10 times clicking the app it stays open again. And then when done with a script and press the back arrow to select the next script it shuts down again, this is over and over.
Also the 7 day trial then appears at the top while I have a monthly subscription already.
Also, I have tried everything including logging out and in, logging out on all devices except mobile where I used it on, also several times deleted the app and re-installed, but same issues stay.
So all in all I am unhappy about this; I mean this is what you get for $19/mo?

The “Lite” version is useless
I downloaded the lite version of the app to test its abilities before paying the (Outlandish) $30 for the full version. I guess I won’t be purchasing it because the lite version has so much disabled that I couldn’t get a good idea of what this app can do. Everything that is useful is disabled, and the user is limited to 3 minutes of speech.
Too bad. I’ll have to give someone else my money.

Not as good as before
I reset my phone and had to download all my apps from scratch. I had this app before the reset, which was pretty good though somewhat limited because I had the free version. After downloading it again, the free version is even more limited. It still works, but only for 3 minutes. That to me is not a good reflection of the app. I’m waiting for an actual teleprompter and was considering buying the full version of this software. Now, I’ll likely buy the full version of another app.

Used to be great… not any more.
I have used this app over three past 3 years. It was just a basic teleprompt with no voice recognition. However last night it automatically updated on my iPad and now I am unable to use it at all until I upgrade to the pro version and pay 29.99. The worst thing was I had downloaded a script onto it ready to give a talk this morning. I turned up to give the talk to find I was locked out of the app and my script had been whiped. Fortunately I had a paper version to fall back on. I don’t want a cleaver version with voice recognition because they are no 100% reliable. I would rather just hit pause if I was to ad-lib for a bit.

Thanks for wasting my time
I downloaded the lite version to practice and give a speech and prayer at my daughter’s wedding. All of a sudden my work is gone on the latest update. I get everything reloaded and now it tells me I’m limited to 3 minutes unless I send them thirty bucks. I find your practice distasteful and underhanded. I cannot recommend the product because of this.

Doesn’t keep up
The concept of an automatic teleprompter which responds to the spoken word is a great idea. I am in the market for that sort of thing and was keen to try the demo version, but it didn’t work for me.
I have a very clear native English speaking voice and have done voice over work. I’m also an audio professional and can use my condenser microphones fed through digital interfaces into my iPad in order to feed optimum quality into it.
The problem I found was that it didn’t keep up with my speaking speed, which is always slow and measured when speaking to camera. When I work with a prompter operated by myself or by an operator, I would expect the current text to be near the top of the screen, with at least a couple of lines of upcoming text visible. PromptSmartLite let me speak right to the bottom of the screen and I then had to pause to let it catch up. It’s also a big flaw if you end up reading the bottom line of the screen because you can’t glance ahead in order to correctly deliver the entire phrase.
I tried it initially with the demo text and then with some old scripts, but it made no difference. With a camera peeping over the iPad, my eyeline was way too low for most of the time when it did scroll.

Voice Activated Teleprompter!
I’m reviewing the demo version. It understood me as I read the Gettysburg address.
Pace of the promoter responded to my pace.
I’m tempted to get the Pro version for the selfie mode so can see how I am presenting as I read the teleprompter.

Terrible
This app used to offer a decent free version. Now you have to pay to get it to work. So disappointed
