Teleprompt+ 3

This was once a great app. Although no longer. There is a verification issue when uploading google docs. Adding google docs was the beauty of this app. I could add a client script in google docs and they could continue to update and those changes would also happen in the teleprompt 3 app. It looks like the developers gave up on this app as this has been a known issue for over a year and there has been no update to fix. Look elsewhere

I plan 20 minutes before every session to wrestle through the enormous amount of bugs this app has. Connection issues on remote, settings randomly changing, and resolving dropbox issues. After a while, you get used to it. Today I discovered the cue points feature is useless. After wasting time defining cue points, I realized the arrows in the interface don’t work. Which makes them pointless. I tried to contact support (which offers to add you to their spam list!!), but it rejects gmail address. Great, more time wasted. I regret giving this developer money and sincerely hope no one else ever makes that mistake.

After buying a different promoter app that worked great for 5 minutes and then started crashing continuously (in front of a client), I was forced to find a new app pronto. Telepromt +3 was recommended on the website of my teleprompter manufacturer and so I went ahead an bought it, even though it was one of the more expensive ones. After a 15 minute crash course figuring out the software and workflow in front of the client, everything has been working great. Connecting my iPhone and iPad is very easy (can use Bluetooth or wifi) and formatting & editing scripts is super easy. They allow you to save your own default formatting settings which you can apply to each script at the press of a button. After prompting almost 10 hours so far, I'm pleased to report I've had no issues with the software. Controlling is very intuitive. You can set a scroll speed and then use your fingers to drag the scroll up and down as needed to keep pace. Double tapping pauses and in pauses. I was thinking about getting a Bluetooth controller, which you can do, but I'm not sure how necessary it is at this point. The thing that makes me feel the best about it, other than it working great, is that I emailed support with questions twice and they responded with helpful answers by the next morning, or sooner. (FYI, you can map the volume buttons on your phone so they can control scroll speed. Cool!) Also, they recommend putting your phone and iPad in airplane mode, and the turning on Bluetooth or wifi, whichever you'd like to use. (I'm thinking Bluetooth would be better if your phone is setup to receive calls over wifi)
