The slides changes are almost instant. Now my complaints are that it will not show images or videos, only text. I want the talent on stage to be able to see the videos as they play to know when to come back. Yes there is a countdown which helps, but visual is so much better. Okay maybe they can’t do video, but why not images? I want them to know exactly what the slide looks like! The lack of support is so bad. Over 3+ years since any updates or fixes. This is the same with their control app. Get it together Renewed Vision. We pay decent amount of money for an app that gets no updates. Might as well make it free if you aren’t gonna take that money and reinvest it in the app. ### 2/5 — Not as described *2023-06-14* It says it will follow the stage layout being used in propresenter, but the actual formatting does not actually follow the stage layout. Multitracks screen does not have any chords = useless for band. Slide notes show everything bunched together without bullet points = useless for pastors. Waste of $9.99 for sure. ### 1/5 — So disappointed *2022-08-06* Come on now pro presenter! This should be a simple application. However with the new pro presenter seven setting up screen displays to work with an iPad is virtually impossible. All the tutorial videos on renewed website show you how to connect to a stage display that is hardwired. Obviously an iPad app would not be hardwired. In a small church environment this should be a no-brainer. However unfortunately it was even a waste of $10. Don’t do it! No support no functionality. ### 1/5 — Does not display any images *2022-03-30, version 1.1.5* DO NOT Purchase unless you ONLY intend to display lyrics. It will not display ages at all ### 1/5 — Feels like it’s been left behind *2022-02-06* With huge steps in the host software ProPresenter now up to 7.8.2, we are regularly having issues detecting the stage display output on iOS devices. Hoping to see further stability fixes come soon. The features are good for what it is needed to do. The ability to see the whole slide, including graphics etc is great! ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work on my iPad *2020-08-02* Doesn’t work on my iPad. Seems like a waste of money & would like my $9.99 back. How do you get a refund when the app doesn’t work? ### 1/5 — Sizing is off when i setup for scaling *2020-07-08, version 1.1.2* Next slide is fine but current slide stays small. I had to buy an NDI app worth 100 bucks to get this to work.... ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work with ProPresenter 7!! *2020-07-02* With ProPresenter 7 you can no longer see live slides in the Stage app. This essentially killed our lobby display which used to work wirelessly over WiFi via the Stage app. ### 1/5 — Buggy *2020-02-16, version 1.1* Crashes, bugs, login issues, lag. Formatting (text labels; colors, etc. ) do not follow to the app, only desktop. ### 1/5 — Used to kinda work at least *2020-02-04* ProPresenter itself is pretty great, hard to beat. This app, however, is not. It’s always been flaky, where some parts show the right thing blowhole others don’t... but after the first update in 2 years to add “support for ProPresenter 7” (hooray for planned obsolescence), this Stage 2 app does not work at all. Of course, I’m still on ProPresenter 6, so maybe this version ONLY works with PP7, but I’m not spending another “many hundreds of dollars” more to find out (that it probably doesn’t). I apparently now have to figure out an entirely different solution to be able to see the slides I need. **Developer response:** I'm sorry you're having difficulties -- in order to better assist you and your specific issues, please reach out to us at support.renewedvision.com ### 3/5 — New update is buggy *2020-01-31* Stage app freezes and stops working while using pro6 after update. ### 1/5 — Not working *2019-11-29* Screen always black. ### 2/5 — Disappointing. *2019-11-28* I love ProPresenter 6 stage view. It’s so great to be able to see all of the other info the main stage isn’t showing. I don’t need huge functionality from this app, I just want to see the text currently in and then the text from the next slide upcoming. Unfortunately, the display lag in this app is unacceptable. Even being a few seconds behind would be acceptable because I can see the next slide, but this is so slow it’s unusable. I don’t have screaming internet speed at home, but it’s fast enough for me to expect this to work. I‘ve had apps not work, but my disappointment comes from how high my anticipation was for something like this to work coupled with the price of the app. Maybe if this worked over Bluetooth... The places I would use this are in locations where I am a guest presenter and don’t have info on their internet speeds. **Developer response:** Sorry you're seeing delays. This is nearly always related to network activity as we have customers using it with nearly real-time response.

Windows 10 / PP Version 6.1.6.2 When I connect my iPad with my macbook, with the same network, works fine! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not working *2025-06-02* The app does work. It is a shame. This would have been really useful. ### 1/5 — Stopped working *2025-03-30, version 1.1.5* The app stopped working on Apple TV ### 1/5 — Needs an update… *2025-02-17* App doesn’t work with the latest versions of ProPresenter and needs an update. Allegedly, an update is coming… I trust it will be more stable than the recent releases of ProPresenter have been. ### 1/5 — Impossible to use. Zero help. *2025-01-31* This app does nothing as advertised. It is a headache and buggy every time I try to use it. It won’t connect. On the rare moment that it does connect, it crashes within minutes. Renewed Vision provides almost zero support for it. It is an insult to churches everywhere. Talk about a wolf in sheep’s clothing. ### 1/5 — Can’t connect *2025-01-06, version 1.1.5* I only recently learned that this app exists and hoped to implement it. I have decent success with the remote app, but I can’t even get this app to connect to my computer. I also tried on an Android but couldn’t even download the app from the Play Store. I wish this app gets some TLC on both platforms, and I hope to check back later for any indication of change ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2024-10-09, version 1.1.5* Won’t connect ### 1/5 — 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼 *2024-03-13* Shows no connections and then gives error message. Wish I could get my money back. Useless. ### 1/5 — Does nothing *2024-01-27, version 1.1.5* Connects to our Mac & ProPresenter, shows proper screen configuration. But screens are black. Won’t show any content at all. ### 1/5 — Does Not Work *2022-12-11* Screen Previews of any video content will not work. Look elsewhere if you are trying to setup a video multi view screen ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2022-09-05* Can sometimes find our host computer, but just fails to connect. Waste of $15 and the thousands spent by my local church on this product ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — No issues *2022-02-09* We use it for singers to have the lyrics on an iPad local to them, showing current and next slides. Was easy to setup a stage display and have that on the iPad. Has worked with no issues. ### 5/5 — Funktioniert sehr gut *2020-11-28* Funktioniert sowohl auf dem iPad als auch auf AppleTv. Wir sind sehr zufrieden. Hilfreich ist es, zuerst ProPresenter auf dem Rechner zu starten, sonst haben wir das Problem, dass die App sich nicht verbindet. ### 5/5 — Igrejas precisam ter isso *2020-09-10, version 1.1.2* Não faz sentido no século XXI igrejas não terem cultos planejados segundo a segundo com a desculpa de que ‘é pra deixar o Espírito Santo agir’. Já te adianto: Ele vai agir. Nossa parte é planejar e se comunicar de maneira eficiente, dinâmica e respeitando o desafio do visitante de ter vindo à igreja e valorizando cada segundo dele ali no prédio. É nossa parte em amar ele. Vale mais que nossas palavras em aproximá-lo à Verdade. E depois, evitar que voluntários caiam em constrangimentos por falta de comunicação com o palco ou por arriscar letras de cor - exceto quando se canta as mesmas músicas a 10 anos, daí voltamos ao parágrafo anterior. Repertórios dinâmicos e atualizados precisam de tantos Stage Displays quanto forem possíveis. Planning Center Online faz parte do básico de toda igreja focada no visitante e em gerar um ambiente contemporâneo, confiável e divertido aos seus voluntários. Investir nisso é investir em salvar vidas e formar líderes. ### 5/5 — Why the Bad stars?? *2019-08-27* Seriously. I just downloaded the app and opened up ProPresenter and clicked on Prefs and then on Display. Set up a special Mobile stage display template and entered a passcode. Poof! There it is. The app works great! No problems at all. A few adjustments on static and type size and this thing rocks! We are a small new church and this makes it so I don’t have to look behind me! I can use my phone on the stand and see what is up on the TVs. This rocks!! ### 5/5 — Love, Love, Love this!! *2019-01-29* I bought this app on the fly because there was an issue with the iMac we use and we weren’t able to utilize stage display from our iMac. I decided to buy this app and give it a shot. I thought it would be a very basic app that syncs with ProPresenter. Well I was very wrong! This thing is awesome! The output display going to our TVs looks identical to the stage display from our iMac! And even if I wanted to custom stage display from our iMac in the settings, it’s a live representation on the iPhone using this app. I was very happy that I decided to buy this app! It sometimes lags a tiny bit when switching a lot of slides fast but it keeps up very well! (We have fast internet from Comcast too, so maybe that helps). I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to utilize stage display for individual use or for connecting to TVs for stage display like I used it for. It’s also great for a computer that only has 1 main output. You can utilize this app as the secondary output for stage display! I know it sounds a little pricy for $9.99 but I’m telling you it’s definitely worth every penny. This app saved our church service from becoming a disaster! ### 4/5 — Super Helpful *2026-08-13* It’s really convenient to be able to put a Stage Display wherever you need it. The setup and operation are very simple and easy to navigate. However, the interface is pretty stiff and low-quality compared to what you would expect from Renewed Vision. ### 4/5 — Works Great, but..... *2020-02-09* I have been using the app for just a little bit now, but my main issue has been, whenever I set stage display que’s for different layouts, those layouts don’t carry over to the app. I have the follow pro feature enabled, assuming this would fix the issue, however it has not. ### 4/5 — Almost perfect economical solution *2019-10-25* This is a great way to afford confidence monitors, especially being a mobile church. We run 2 monitors, each with its own iPhone. We could probably split the signal between the 2 monitors but that would require running an hdmi down a path with a lot of foot traffic. The reason I gave it 4 stars is it will sometimes stop syncing, which then requires restarting the app. Otherwise this is a great option for worship teams who need lyrics displayed. ### 4/5 — Jeremy *2017-01-28* Works well and its nice you can scroll thought the different stage displays. It would be better if you could add shortcuts to the pro presenter computer so you don't have to type the IP, Port, and password every time you need to use it quickly, especially when your on stage.... ### 3/5 — Toooo slow! *2024-07-09* For paid software this is rip off, app takes too long to connect. If iPad is put to sleep and woke up, app takes same time to connect as first time. I give you three stars only because this app does not crash host ProPresenter, otherwise considering how little this app does, its way too slow. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
