### 1/5 — Not optimized for iPhone!

*2016-05-16, version 3.0*

I think this app works well on iPad, but it is not optimized for my iPhone 5s! On text editing mode there is impossible to edit and save text! 1) I can see only one line of on the screen. 2) There is no Save button on the screen! I think the button is out of small iPhone screen. Any way I can't edit and save the text! 3) Write a list of hot keys for bluetooth keyboard.

### 1/5 — Not sure about this

*2016-04-05*

Matt - couldn't get it to scroll.

### 1/5 — Do not wast your time or money

*2016-01-22*

Pure garbage. Useless.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2015-12-13, version 2.0.1*

The scrolling jammed after about 3 seconds. Sadly my scripts are a bit longer than that. I restarted the app. I restarted my phone. I reset my expectations. I took a deep breath. But I got the same result every time. How do you get a refund around here?

### 1/5 — Mirror mode doesn't work.

*2015-10-19, version 2.0.1*

I have wasted my money

### 1/5 — Missing application basics.

*2015-07-21*

File import doesn't always import. Renaming project doesn't rename. Keyboard persists when attempting to rename....annoying. The scrolling works well enough, but that's about it. The teleprompting works, just not common application functionality. I shod have know better when the lite version didn't work at all. My PSA: If you read this far, skip this app and find something better.

### 1/5 — Can’t Use It

*2014-11-17*

Upgraded to the premium version so that I could use mirror mode for a project i’m filming today.  It asks for a code you can’t get unless you give up your e-mail.  30 min later, no code.  Sitting here, ready to film, waiting for an email so i can use an app I PAID FOR!!!

### 1/5 — Unfinished

*2014-09-04, version 2.0*

This app is beautiful. But it's full of interface glitches that make it very difficult to use. And also makes you go through a strange sign up process which didn't quite work properly. It has potential, but it seems like an alpha version.

### 1/5 — Simply terrible - SLOW, WAY TOO SLOW!!!

*2014-06-24*

It's a simple enough app. The developer however never attempted to read from this app....

It SIMPLY needs a speed up option that actually 'speeds' up to regular talking speed. In it's current version is painfully slow.

### 1/5 — Too slow

*2014-04-20*

It doesn't move fast enough. Would be nice if I could turn my phone sideways as it prompts. Oh well. You live, you learn.

### 1/5 — Lazy!!!!

*2013-11-29*

Muito lento! Não serve para treinamento ou uso externo!

### 1/5 — I can’t save.

*2024-05-19*

I can’t save my video after it’s been recorded. I’d like my money back, now I understand why it was so cheap.

### 1/5 — Quero estorno do valor

*2021-03-14*

Péssimo aplicativo muito ruim, não vale a pena, solicito o estorno do valor

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work - Avoid this vendor

*2020-05-25*

The script edit feature and script import feature doesn’t not work which means I can not use it at all.  The manufacturer has another product with a different sku under the same name. It would appear that my product has been discontinued/no longer supported with updates and I’ve not been given a license for the product launched with the new sku.  I think this may be an FTC issue.

### 1/5 — TERRIBLE APP DO NOT BUY!!

*2020-05-21*

Worst app ever. No editing ability, I can’t even get my promoter to start. You cannot edit, or even see text.. this needs to be taken off the app Store!

### 1/5 — Seems intentionally made not to work anymore

*2019-09-15*

Is the app developer trying to force people who purchased this app to abandon it for something else? No capacity to edit text anymore (there’s no option to save edits), poor copy and paste functionality (spacing messes up from some word processing applications), inconsistent ability to import .txt docs, and screen stuck in horizontal means you can’t see what you’re typing when saving scripts.

### 1/5 — Scam

*2019-08-29*

It’s a scam .. don’t go for it .. 
they took my money and now I can’t download it

### 1/5 — It‘s a bad thing

*2019-08-04, version 3.0*

Bei iPad mini funktioniert bluetooth nicht. Für so eine App darf man kein Geld verlangen! 

Ich will mein Geld zurück!

### 1/5 — Terrible for iPhone

*2019-06-10*

Was using the iPad version and tried to buy the version for the iPhone and when i did it was instantly regretted! 

It doesn’t work vertically and your controls are totally limited. It wouldn’t even scroll!! 

Honestly i want a refund this was trash.

### 1/5 — Ne surtout pas acheter !

*2019-02-22, version 3.0*

Ne fonctionne pas du tout !
Impossible d’éditer un nouveau texte !
Je demande le remboursement immédiat !

### 1/5 — Encore trop bogué

*2016-06-21, version 3.0*

Encore beaucoup trop de problèmes anormaux à l'utilisation. 

La barre de contrôle de lecture sous le texte disparait la plupart du temps en laissant un espace noir et rien ne peut la faire réapparaitre. 

L'édition d'un script est aussi boguée et c'est le texte qui devient incontrôlable... Et pas moyen de valider ses éditions.

Bref, quasiment inutilisable en l'état !

### 5/5 — Excellent Tool For Content Creators and Speech Givers

*2015-03-04*

This simple app is a very useful tool worthy of a spot in any filmmaker's digital toolbox. It is also a great app for YouTuber's or really any and all content creators who want to perform a well written concise and focused script rather than fumble for words in front of the camera costing time and more editing in post. It is also a useful tool for giving speeches. Whether reading directly or just glancing at talking points periodically, the text options and ability to automate the scroll or control it manually make this app a VERY useful one indeed for makers (be it film, content, or speech).

The only complain about the app I have is the lack of landscape mode support. Would love to mount my phone to the cold shoe mount on my camera and use this app in landscape mode. The iPad version works in landscape, but I can't find a good solution for mounting an iPad to a cold shoe mount.

### 5/5 — Matt Cowlin

*2014-10-15*

I have purchased a few apps from Matt and they are fantastic - however, his customer support is amazing. I had a few questions and a problem downloading an app - he responded within 30 seconds of my email and within 4 or 5 emails in 5 minutes had everything solved - could not be more impressed !!!!!!!!

### 3/5 — Make it rotate.

*2015-06-30*

This app does everything I need it to do except rotate to the landscape position. If it did that it would be the best TelePrompTer app out there.

### 3/5 — I'd like my money back! (Check edit below)

*2015-06-18*

You can't edit a script once you've saved it! What a nightmare!

**** contacted Matt and my $$ was refunded. He sent me links to better versions of this app!
Better for the iPad, not so great on the iPhone.

### 3/5 — Not bad but needs improvement

*2015-01-30, version 2.0*

Once you've written your scripts it's ok, but you can't share those scripts with other users.

Also it says you can import from word, but you can't. I even tried it with a .txt file which it did import as a blank script.

### 3/5 — Too slow need more font sizes

*2013-11-08*

Everything's great except I needed the font size to be able to be smaller or I needed the Teleprompter to be able to go faster..even the fastest speed was not anywhere near quick enough. A little frustrating, I will have to buy another app to do what I need.

### 3/5 — It's ok, needs a couple more features

*2013-10-25*

The speed needs to adjust to more variations of speed. You need to be able to view in landscape mode.

### 2/5 — Need update

*2018-07-11, version 3.0*

Im really boring with those app which let down their customers. You pay and then no updates anymore. Barely works on my iPhone 6 and iOS 11.4 (can’t edit the text), and no delay before the scrolling starts which is annoying..

### 2/5 — could be better...

*2017-04-14, version 3.0*

only works in panoramic mode and there is a bug in the editor window that prevents to edit the text using the full screen, but rather a couple of lines. I removed few minutes later.

### 2/5 — I am having a problem

*2015-03-03*

I am having a problema with my teleprompter app, it doesn't 
work horizontally

Can somebody help me

Tanks
