Cue Flow handles moments that need more than one sign. Put one message on each line, then step backward or forward live, or choose a 2โ€“20 second timer with optional repeat. Event crews, speakers and queues get a prepared run of messages without leaving the full-screen board. Type a message and hold up your phone. From the back of a crowd, across an arrivals hall or over a busy counter, people read it in one glance. It opens straight onto a live canvas. The preview is the editor, so the words, the speed, the size and the color change the moment you do. One tap takes it full screen, where you tap to show or hide the controls, use the clearly labeled pause button to stop the motion, swipe to change speed and direction, pinch to resize and turn the letters sideways when you need every inch of height. It is made for the moments when your voice will not carry. Cheer for a song without shouting yourself hoarse. Meet someone at arrivals and let them spot you first. Hold up a pickup message at the kerb. Ask for a quieter table or a slower sentence in places where speaking is hard. Leave a short notice on a desk while you step away. Free forever, with nothing to sign up for: unlimited messages and full-screen display, still and scrolling motion, left and right travel, speed and text size, all one hundred and eight text colors, mirrored text for a window or a windscreen, a sideways ninety-degree mode, an adjustable blink rate, your recent messages one tap away, a flashlight pulse, one ready-made board and one LED frame to try out, and one saved board of your own. The one-time unlock adds unlimited saved boards, over one hundred typefaces, twenty animation effects including outline, shadow, glow, blink, pulse, wave, typewriter and dot matrix, the other fifty-nine ready-made boards across six everyday situations, page, slide-in, bounce, sway and drift motion, up and down travel, rainbow and gradient lettering, the rest of the LED frames and their colors, letter spacing and repeat gap, photo and aurora backgrounds, beat-reactive motion, a countdown, and MP4 and GIF export without the watermark. Everything runs on the device. No account, no cloud, no advertising, no analytics, no tracking. Your messages, your boards and any photo you pick stay on your iPhone. The microphone is used only while beat-reactive motion is switched on, and audio is never recorded or saved. Fifty languages, with the ready-made boards written for each one instead of translated word for word. Built for iPhone and iPad, with a full-width layout in portrait, landscape and Split View. Optimized for iPhone Duo.
