## What is PromptSmart Pro Remote Control?

PromptSmart Pro Remote Control is an optional, companion app to the PromptSmart Pro teleprompter app (subscription required) that lets you control the scrolling of your content with a simple tap of your finger to move it forward or backward, start/stop your presentations, and return to the beginning via a WIFI connection or mobile hotspot.

The Remote Control allows you to mirror the screen of your prompter display so that the content of the teleprompter display can be viewed and re-positioned from a distance.

Two iOS devices with a history of connection will learn each other and connect more easily afterwards. If the remote screen sleeps, the connection will automatically be re-established once the remote control app is made active again (after a few moments).

### 1/5 — Embarrassing

*2026-03-03*

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!

### 1/5 — This App doesn’t work correctly. It might ruin your shoot.

*2025-11-10*

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!

### 2/5 — Doesn’t connect

*2025-01-10*

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.

### 1/5 — Old UX advantages have been lost

*2023-10-30*

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.

### 1/5 — Keeps logging me out

*2023-07-18*

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

### 1/5 — Hot. Trash.

*2023-07-11*

This app is straight garbage. If, and I mean IF it connects at all it’s so buggy and laggy that it’s useless when it does actually connect. I literally had it trying to connect to the associated iPad, which was literally 2 feet away, for 35 minutes. I know it was 35 minutes because I recorded an entire script, manually having to move the teleprompter screen on the iPad because this app never connect. At all. It saw the script. It saw the iPad but just sat there trying to connect. Hot garbage. I’m glad I tried the one month free trial before paying for this mess. Get yourself together.

### 1/5 — Very Laggy

*2023-07-07*

Has 2 to 3 seconds of delay between the remote and the prompter. Almost unusable for a comercial shoot. Please fix it.

### 1/5 — Sign in requirement is horrible

*2023-06-28*

This app use to work without the need to sign in as we at times have clients that come to our studio and want to move the teleprompter themselves, now was have to login on their phone which makes the process longer and more awkward that it needs to be.

Instead of making the process even easier they decided to add barriers, and complicate things when there was no need to…

### 1/5 — Not a Pro Feature

*2023-06-07*

If you think you’ll look like a pro on set using this feature, you are sadly mistaken. This feature should be pulled until they can make it work reliably. It’s a stain on an otherwise fine product (the PromptSmart app).

### 1/5 — What happened???

*2023-06-06*

App use to work but with the release of 3.0 it doesn’t work and ruined my shoot day. Ever since they went to a subscription model things have gone down hill.
