And yet, this is the feature that simply does not work. You enter your script, save it. You go to the screen and start the recorder. It asks you what language you want. in my case I picked English. As recording starts, you can see that it can hear you by the little VU meter in the left of the screen. My understanding is that as you speak, the teleprompter should move. It doesn’t do that. Not only that, you cannot even manually scroll with your finger. Having used the older version of this app, this is not a great replacement. All of the features that used to be in the old app are gone and replaced with some thing that simply doesn’t work. Sad ### 1/5 — So disappointing *2022-02-07* I can’t access my photos anymore since the day you guys upgraded this app , why you didn’t even warn the users , this is irresponsible , I lost like 6000 photo , how can I get them backkkk !!!! ### 1/5 — lost ALL my pics *2022-01-02* can’t believe they just decided to upgrade and DELETE all the pics saved there.. worst app ever ### 1/5 — What’s this? *2021-10-10* Loved the previous PowerCam app, now it’s just a random video thing? I’m so confused about this. Have lost all the photos I had saved in the app! A heads up would have been decent! ### 1/5 — Where’s my gallery?? *2021-10-10* Changed without warning to video. Have now lost all photos in gallery 🤬🤬 ### 1/5 — So disappointing. *2021-10-05* I want the old version back. I’m never going to use a TelePrompter. I wanna take pictures. I loved the filters that this app had. Now this app sucks. I regret updating. Thanks for nothing. ### 1/5 — Totally sux! Developer changed from photo to video app no warning *2021-09-24* This is worst experience ever! I bought this app years ago as the best photo app. I had a load of photos there. Without any warning developer switches it to a bloody video app, my photos from the app are gone ! If I wanted a bloody video recorder I would have bought it. Bring the photo app back! ### 1/5 — Lost all my previous pictures *2021-09-18, version 4.0.2* Awful update. Wrote to get help and never heard back ### 1/5 — All my videos disappeared when the app updated on its own *2021-09-12, version 4.0.2* I’m very upset I had a. Lot of videos where are they ### 1/5 — Where are my pictures?? *2021-09-11* I only use this app for picture purposes and iv had iver5000 pics. Why can't I access them in the app?? What a garbage this new one is. ### 2/5 — 升级之后就变成垃圾了，只得删除该软件 *2021-09-09* 一 ### 1/5 — No longer the great photo app *2021-09-08* Suddenly and without warning this app turns from an excellent photo app to some speech maker teleprompter. I didn’t pay for this but did for the other app. Deleting this app as you have lost all my photos saved in the app! ### 1/5 — Horrible! *2021-09-07* I have been using this app for YEARS! today u guys decided to upgrade the app .. i lost all my pics , cant even use the app for filters anymore! Why would you do that?!!! ### 1/5 — WTAF?!! *2021-09-07, version 4.0.0* You guys took away one of the best camera apps for this crap?!!! Why would you do this?!!! ### 1/5 — Completely different app *2021-09-07* Used PowerCam app for years and loved all the filters and effects - the update has wiped all my photos ( no warning to save) and is nothing like the old version. Terrible!!! ### 1/5 — Bring back the original *2021-09-07, version 4.0.0* Bring back the original power cam lost a lot of fotos because of the update ### 1/5 — What is going on *2021-09-05* What has happened to my Gallery ?

I got the original Powercam app to take photos and have neat and unique effects and styles NOT to do videos and speak to people. If I wanted such an app I would of downloaded another app to try it out not have the original camera app I purchased get tossed aside for something I’ll never use. I’ll be staying with powercam 3.3.1 even if it looks a little strange on an IP15PM ### 1/5 — Bad *2024-06-24* The app keep crashing even before recording. Waste of money ### 1/5 — You switched core use trapping a decade of media *2024-02-22* This was my favorite app to add video and photo effects for over a decade. Then I upgraded my phone which downloaded the latest update, and you switched core use from Photos to video Teleprompter, this trapped all the media that I have taken, since my son was a child and I cannot get it back, because you switched the core use. No app is not available on your website. Support is unreachable, and I lost a decade of my sons memories FIX IT. if you wanted to create a Teleprompter, you should created a seperate Teleprompter app not changing an app that was fine. Worked very well that people enjoyed and you trapped their memories in the process UNFORGIVABLE FIX IT. ### 1/5 — CHANGE IT BACK *2024-01-17* Please change this bad teleprompter back to the powercam photo app ### 1/5 — Worst update *2023-12-30* This new update is so awful. This app used to be one of my favourites but since this update, I’ve lost all of my videos and pictures I’ve had for years. So frustrating, here’s no way of recovering them. Don’t bother downloading it, it’s absolutely useless now. ### 1/5 — Stole all my pics *2023-04-24* I’ve used POWERCAM since 2012, when I had an iPhone 4! WITHOUT WARNING, they completely change the app to this telewhatever CRAP. You STOLE ALL MY PICS I had stored in POWERCAM. MY PICS!!! Don’t trust this app! They will steal all your content. And they never respond to emails. DO NOT TRUST wonderhare. I WANT MY PICTURES BACK!!! ### 1/5 — Frustrating *2022-10-24, version 4.0.3* I have been trying to retrieve my photos and videos from PowerCam ever since this new format was activated. Wondershare/PowerCam invites people to contact them with issues yet never responds when I do. I have emailed them many times asking for help in retrieving my photos and videos and have NEVER gotten a response. ### 1/5 — Shocking and rubbish *2022-07-17* Had the PowerCam app for a long time and had its own folder of pics spanning years - did the update and it’s renamed and changed and now it doesn’t work and lost all my images. I would give it a -0 now if I had the option. You cannot even get intouch with anyone to resolve. ### 1/5 — My review keeps getting deleted *2022-07-15, version 4.0.3* This used to be a photo app that I have used since 2012 on every phone I’ve had since iPhone 4. Suddenly, WITHOUT WARNING, they change the app to this telewhatever CRAP. You STOLE ALL MY PICS I had stored in POWERCAM. Thieves. Don’t trust them. They will steal all your content. And they never respond to emails. Do not trust wonderhare, if they’re even a thing anymore. Disgusting. ### 1/5 — This app is trash *2022-03-11* It was a great photo taking app but it’s been updated and it is now completely useless. Went from being five stars to one star with the update. Don’t waste your time downloading the app, I just deleted it forever. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — App. *2021-10-31, version 4.0.3* I miss the original POWERCAM app. It was the one and only photo app I used for all of my photos. 😔 ### 5/5 — creative *2021-09-02, version 4.0.0* After waiting so long, I finally updated the creative camera, which is worth looking forward to ### 5/5 — Good *2021-09-01, version 4.0.0* This is the smartest teleprompter I've ever used!

Great effects easy to use and transfers to camera easily. Bravo well done and mostly thank you 😁 ### 5/5 — power Cam *2018-04-29* Great app. It works much better with the update. I discover new things, by accident 5**** Gold Stars. Thank-you. Nothing has changed. With the exception of I have space on my phone to keep it there at all times 5 ****. Every day I find new and exciting ways I can use thus camera and all extras as well. Thanks so much.....Still great Five stars ### 5/5 — THE BEST *2017-11-26* This is simply, the best and only camera app you would ever want or need. Tons of features to take photos and you can even video record in those same effects - without needing editing afterwards! I have used this on blackberry and iPhone over many years and will always use this app as preference over any other! Brilliant, thank you! ### 5/5 — Very good *2016-12-08, version 3.3.0* Very good --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
