## What is PromptSmart Pro?

PromptSmart is the only “smart” teleprompter app. Our patented VoiceTrack™ speech recognition technology is revolutionary because it provides a robust solution to automatically follow a speaker's voice in real time. 

Make your video productions less stressful and more efficient. VoiceTrack™ is a powerful and smart prompting tool that will automatically start and stop at the speaker's natural pace, allowing you to focus on other production values rather than film take after take trying to match a pre-set scroll speed to the speaker's cadence. Save time, energy, and keep your talent focused with PromptSmart.

Other teleprompter apps fall short--relying on clunky hardware or pre-set scrolling speeds. We asked tens of thousands of users what they liked most about our prompter app, and over 90% of respondents said "VoiceTrack," calling it "awesome," "astonishing," "tremendous," “easy to use,” a “game changer”—“absolutely brilliant!!!” Our customers tell our story best and PromptSmart products are the highest rated and most frequently rated teleprompter apps in the App Store.

PromptSmart is also an invaluable tool for anyone that engages in regular public speaking, like clergy, educators, politicians, podcasters, audiobook creators, or business leaders. Our prompter apps are useful as a practice tool or to help keep you on-message at live speaking engagements.

If you’re on a budget or trying to film videos by yourself, there is no better companion than the PromptSmart teleprompter app because VoiceTrack starts and stops at your natural pace.

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2026-08-22, version 4.0.2*

This would be so great…if it worked. It doesn’t. Wasted so much time trying to get the voice activation to reliably work. Move along, nothing to see here.

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2026-08-21, version 4.0.2*

Downloaded it today. Keeps crashing no matter what I do…

### 5/5 — Excellent!

*2026-08-18, version 4.0.2*

I use this for so many things.  Voiceover work, speeches, and more.   It tracks my voice and follows perfectly!

### 2/5 — App stays on a load screen for hours

*2026-08-17, version 4.0.2*

I’ve used this app one time. Now every time I open it, it stays in a loading screen won’t let you click anything on the screen. And it does this every time I open the app. I paid $30 for this app. Sure would be nice to be able to use it.

### 1/5 — Bait and switch - constant upsell on PAID version

*2026-08-15, version 4.0.2*

I happily paid the high purchase price and was ready to get to work, but no, you must also subscribe to access critical features. That kind of double-dipping is incredibly scummy.

To make matters worse, the app locks up when switching between portrait and landscape and randomly freezes during use. At this price, that’s unacceptable. 

I’m going to push for this app to be delisted until the company fixes both its functionality and its misleading pricing model.

### 1/5 — Do not buy

*2026-08-14, version 4.0.2*

Awful. The lite version worked better fine, but I needed prompting for more than 3 minutes so I bought the pro version. Anytime you try to hit play the app just crashes. 100% of the time.

### 4/5 — Pretty good, but…

*2026-08-13, version 4.0.2*

…I like it, but I wish you could rename script files in the file list.

### 1/5 — Confusing Licensing and Feature Bundles

*2026-08-09, version 4.0.2*

The licensing model and feature bundles is super confusing. To transfer scripts on your computer you need to pay the monthly license and they’ve made it particularly cumbersome to connect to your Google Drive and load the script on the phone.  I moved from bigvu but to be honest I regret my decision and will be moving back.

### 1/5 — Great app with terrible reliability

*2026-08-08, version 4.0.2*

For such a great app, it’s a shame that after all this time they haven’t fixed the major bug causing it to crash every time you press the play button.  I uninstall the app, reinstall it again and it works for 12 hours before it begins crashing constantly again.  PLEASE FIX THIS

### 1/5 — Poor

*2026-08-06, version 4.0.2*

Teleprompter keeps sticking halfway through
