### 2/5 — Ok but closes the app when you try to rearrange scripts

*2023-12-28, version 4.0*

App works well apart from issue above. Pricing for pro features is completely ridiculous. There’s no reason why this should be a subscription

### 2/5 — Fatal flaw…

*2023-03-24, version 2.1*

The fatal flaw is the inability to save a desired scroll speed.  Every time you open a script it reverts back to the default 50, which is way too fast . No one wants to be fiddling about with scroll speeds while moving between multiple scripts at a live event . These should be integrated into the editing process, to set and save in advance.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2023-03-04*

Paid for gold and enabled, automatic scrolling.
Nothing changed and no way to contact the developer.

### 1/5 — Pro does not work

*2022-05-24*

Bought pro but not getting additional features. Do not recommend.

### 1/5 — Reimbursement

*2022-05-08*

I’m really not satisfied. And the app still asked me to buy the gold version. How could I do to be reimbursed?

### 2/5 — Meh…

*2022-04-30*

I got here because the original Teleprompter app by the same developer urged me to try to “Pro” version that listens for voice. Nothing worked as-advertised in that version, and the so-called support website is non-existent, and to twist the knife that was inserted into my ribs, when I try to ask for my money back from the Apple App Store, they do not offer the opportunity to even state my case. So now, in order to get back to semi-usable teleprompt capability, I tried this “new and improved” version 2. It keeps urging me to buy the “Gold” version— but I have learned my lesson. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice…

### 2/5 — No horizontal functionality

*2022-04-09, version 2.1*

Only realised this after paying £10 for the full version. Ridiculous that it doesn’t have this feature.

### 1/5 — Junk

*2022-01-27, version 2.1*

Won’t let me even preview magic scrolling before upgrading to gold. Not that it matters, because upgrading is IMPOSSIBLE.

### 1/5 — Not good

*2022-01-19, version 2.1*

It does not do voice command

### 1/5 — This software has so many glitches.....don’t buy!!!

*2021-09-11, version 2.1*

I upgraded to gold for 11.99. The auto scroll is suppose to move as you speak....sure does...if music plays (with no one is singing), when other people speak in the background....etc. Also can’t change font size, color, background color etc. Totally useless. Format of software is not for iPad either. Do not recommend!!!! Zero Stars!

### 1/5 — App does not work on iPad..setting menu totally broken

*2021-09-04*

As stated in other reviews, the settings menu is entirely broken for iPad. Can’t click anything...cant restore my purchase nor change any settings, including mirror mode which I need. Entirely useless as a result and I paid for gold. Would appreciate a refund.

### 1/5 — Want funds back

*2026-04-19, version 4.3*

Does not work
Where is the home page
Where is a help page

### 1/5 — I was robbed!

*2026-03-04*

They charged me for the lifetime buying and nothing in the Pro features work! No way to contact anyone. It’s a scam!!!

### 1/5 — Trash

*2025-10-13, version 4.3*

Doesn’t work, if purchased its supposed to work whilst recording and the sound doesn’t work on the recording and you can’t contact the app developer and Apple won’t refund

### 1/5 — Lazy…

*2024-10-17*

I hope Apple accepts my refund request. This app is lazy, voice scroll doesn’t actually listen to what you say, it just scrolls once it hears a noise. There is no option to put the text near the phone camera, very important feature for me. Free Teleprompter Apps do that. The UI isn't bad per say but its very difficult to work around and use. Also Couldn’t find out to download my recordings exactly? That’s the whole point of the teleprompter. 

 $9 one time purchase may be attractive compared to what other apps are charging, but you should best believe it’s for a reason.

### 1/5 — Help

*2024-10-14*

There’s no help available on the application that I can find. And when a script is created the body of the introduction for making a script has to be erased.

### 1/5 — Flaw

*2024-02-16, version 4.0*

Horizontal flip doesn’t work

### 1/5 — Not satisfied - AT ALL!

*2024-01-18*

First, no way to contact developer. Website is just another mirrored advertisement for the app.  The ONLY thing that works with the “GOLD” subscription is the scrolling/speed. YES - all permissions are granted. In addition, after deleting a script, the folder name remains and cannot be removed. Just takes up space. When tapping the empty script the app just closes out.  None of the voice scrolling or video recording works.  Other free apps can do the same. Don’t waste your money!

### 1/5 — Scam

*2023-09-20, version 3.26*

Doesn’t work. Downloaded countless apps from this developer. Scam.

### 1/5 — The free trial isn’t free it charges you straight away.

*2023-09-01, version 3.20*

There is no 7 day free trial it charged my card straight away with seemingly no options for customer support. The app is buggy and the “magic scroll” doesn’t work either. It skips around and continues when you are not talking

### 1/5 — Dodgy trial and no re-support

*2023-08-22, version 3.17*

Generally I would try and work out my issue rather than rating the product down but I can’t find any ability to contact them. So reporting this here and to apple. It suggests you can do a 7 day trial, but then asks you to choose annual or monthly. If you choose monthly it bills you without the trial. I am glad I only subscribed for a month but the voice activation is t any good so for me the product isn’t going to achieve what I aimed. 
This is confusing advertising and then not to have a support option is dreadful. 
Don’t offer a trial and then not honour it.

### 5/5 — Highly recommended

*2025-06-13*

This is a great app for Teleprompter’s highly recommended

### 5/5 — Great teleprompter app

*2024-06-12*

Ideal for what I need

### 5/5 — Just great

*2023-08-18, version 3.10*

This Teleprompter is perfect and easy to use!

### 5/5 — This app is so good

*2023-08-16, version 3.8*

I didn’t know a teleprompter app could be this good, thank you for developing this. 

I will no longer have to fumble around with sheets of paper, I should have used this app for my wedding speech!

### 5/5 — Teleprompter app

*2023-08-14*

I have found this app excellent for helping with presentations required for training staff at work. I will continue to use it in the future

### 5/5 — Excellent for training videos

*2023-08-14*

I create training videos for the software applications we use at my company.  Other teleprompter apps I have used in the past only allow for one speed when scrolling through your script.  This teleprompter app makes it easier to record my videos videos with the way it scrolls your script based on your reading.  This is the difference maker for me.  Any app that makes my job easier is an app of awesome!

### 5/5 — Great program that works for us

*2023-08-13*

I have been using this program for several years now and have found it very helpful. We mostly use the teleprompter function but have also used the recording feature, which works great for recording messages or scripts. We also often use a remote control with it which is very helpful during live events when you need to adjust things like the speed or pause the text. All in all a great app and one we couldn’t live without.

### 5/5 — Super useful ✨

*2023-08-09, version 3.3*

Got the free version as a test, but will be upgrading to the paid version!

### 5/5 — Teleprompter for Singing!

*2023-04-29*

I have been using this APP for singing with bands around the area. It works well for what I’m doing. I haven’t tried the pro version but I want to try and see if it will stay in the right area with music behind me.

### 5/5 — No magic scrolling

*2020-06-01*

Bought gold pack for magic scrolling. But it doesn’t work at all. Anyway of getting the money back?
