NEEWER Teleprompter

For what it does and its price point for the teleprompter and remote, you can’t go wrong. However, there are two additional pieces of equipment I suggest you purchase. A Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. This will make typing up or editing your text files much easier. My iPad sits in a case that has a stand. So, when I’m putting text in, the iPad is already in landscape mode which is the best way to playback your scripts. You don’t have to make this harder than it needs to be. You just need to carefully plan your projects and you will get the best reviews as your projects will be perfectly polished. Also, the first thing you need to do is pair the remote with your tablet or iPad. Then, you need to enable the remote in the app itself. This will give you full control of the teleprompter. Without telling the app which remote you have the play function may work, but you may not have the ability to control the text’s speed in the app.

I don't have many complaints with the app and I like the cloud feature. What would make it more valuable to me is being able to access the cloud on the web to type/load/edit scripts. It's nearly impossible to edit in app so I do it on my computer in notes and then from my phone load to neewer cloud. Then save to my cheap tablet I use in the teleprompter. I'd like to be able to type it all up and edit/load in neewer cloud online vs in app.

I I recently purchased the X1 Pro Teleprompter from Nemoir so that our scripted videos would have better iContact and look more professional. So far, that product has proven to be very well-made and perfect for what we need. Unfortunately, the accompanying app is lacking the same care and professionalism. This app feels like something they had to get out so they just made a basic teleprompter app to satisfy someone and say they did it. It has some major flaws I can see. The biggest one, is that you can’t adjust the margins and make the columns narrower. In our column of script, keeps your eyes focused to the middle of the screen better and makes you look much more natural. The app by ILOKNZI allows you to do that very nicely. They also let you customize the colors behind the type. PromptSmart ALSO HAS A WELL-thought out teleprompter app that listens to you speaking and automatically scrolls to keep up. That solves the issue of controlling speed through starts and stops with the remote. Because the Neewer App only allows full width, and a landscape mounting bracket, your eyes travel left and right across the screen following the script rather than keeping you centered. You also have few choices for background color and most are worthless anyway. I’ve tried several Apps and I recommend getting a Neewer Teleprompter for quality and using the ILOKNZI App with an auxiliary remote for $20. I don’t really like the ILOKNZI remote, it feels cheap and unresponsive, but the app is soooo much better than Neewer’s that I’ll take the cheap remote over the thoughtless App. Come on, Neewer, let’s output an update and complete the package. You fumbled on the 1 yard line! NOT RECOMMENDED!
