Embarrassing

Completely embarrassed me in front of my client today. I was frazzled that Spanish didn’t work with the auto scroll so I had to download a remote in order to get through the prompt faster. This remote is completely broken, the latency is HORRIBLE. Like it’s embarrassingly bad. I used this on my old 8 year old iPad and thought maybe it was the iPad and then used another iPad that was like a year old and it was just as bad with latency. These people do not take their app seriously, it is a joke and a money pit. Avoid smart prompt and their whole ecosystem all together!

This App doesn’t work correctly. It might ruin your shoot.

Your position on the script on this iPhone app has no correlation with the readers position on the iPad. Scrolling on the iPhone works - but you won’t know what the reader can see. This is an absolute nightmare if you are mid-way through a take. Please fix!

Doesn’t connect

This app is a total mess—it’s very hard to connect. I believe the developers could fix it easily, but for some reason, they haven’t. Despite receiving so much negative feedback, they haven’t updated the app in over a year.

I wish they would fix these bugs.

Old UX advantages have been lost

The latest updates have killed the UX advantages of the old app. Used to be able to smoothly scroll with your finger as someone talked and the main app would keep up. Now it only seems to send the command to the main app to move when you take your finger off the screen, so instead of the script scrolling smoothly it jerks one line at a time. Now easier to stand to one side of the main iPad and scroll it directly with my finger rather than using the remote app :( Please restore the old way of working.

Every day. Horrible. Was perfect before the update. They just ruined their own app.

FAQ

What does the PromptSmart Pro Remote Control app do?

It also enables screen mirroring of your teleprompter display.

How does the remote control connect?

The app connects wirelessly via a WIFI connection or a mobile hotspot. Once two iOS devices have connected previously, they will learn each other and establish connections more easily in the future.

Is this app free to use?

The PromptSmart Pro Remote Control app itself is free. However, it is a companion app to the PromptSmart Pro teleprompter app, which requires a subscription to use its full functionality.

What devices is this app compatible with?

When would I use this app?

This app is ideal for anyone using the PromptSmart Pro teleprompter who wants to control their script and presentation from a distance. It's useful for presenters who need to move around or want a hands-free experience, ensuring smooth delivery without needing to be physically near the teleprompter device.
