PrompterPal for Android

App has not been updated to allow Bluetooth support. As such, you cannot use most remotes.

I just completed my first video using this app with the Android remote app. The app is not as polished as some, but the developer has frequent updates which demonstrates their commitment to this app. I recommend it without reservations.

I have been looking for a TelePrompTer app for my Mobile for a month. I read all the reviews for many apps. Finally I gave up reading reviews because no matter what I looked at there were always issues. I read what this app offered and took the chance that it would work as it says. I love this app! I am not technologically savvy. I had it up and running in no time! My daughter would tell you that's a miracle! Easy to use, user friendly. I got a remote keyboard paired in seconds. Seconds! Only thing I don't know yet is if I can highlight certain words with color. If I can't, no problem. I'll just use a different font or italicize. Simple, user friendly and fun! And many options available if I want to do more than the minimum! What more can you ask for?!

The prompter itself is great — more features than I need. But one issue make it hard for me to use this app: I'm using my Android as a remote (Mobile and Android are on the same versions of iOS and PrompterPal, and on the same wifi network) but the remote keeps getting disconnected. Each time, I have to go into the Remote menu of each device, then disconnect and reconnect.

This is about as good a teleprompting app for the Mobile as I've seen. If the documentation were better, I'd give it five stars. First, the basics: I use an Mobile Teleprompter in the field when I am shooting strictly on battery power. In the studio, I use a prompter with a larger screen, which lets me get a wider shot. I use my Mobile on a half-mirror Teleprompter frame from Caddie Buddy, and I use an Android running PromptRemote (free companion app) as the controller. The Mobile can show mirrored text, while the controller displays regular text, with the operator just off set. The setup works well, and it's easy for an operator to learn--any crew member can do the job. Plan on spending an hour or so figuring out how to make the app work. I couldn't get it to work with iCloud, but DropBox setup was pretty easy, and it is what I would recommend. Things go a lot smoother if the DropBox app is installed on your Mobile. The documentation for the software is a bit clunky. It's on the developer's web site, but there is no PDF version available--I made my own by downloading the help pages from the web site. Once you get the hang of transferring files to the prompter app, things proceed rather smoothly. The app has a pretty full complement of features, and it's easy to operate and to make script edits. One last note: The developer has three separate teleprompter apps, and they are all the same. This app is the developer's main retail app--the other two are private-label versions to teleprompter hardware manufacturers. Some reviewers flame this app because they can't get files loaded into the prompter, or they can't get the remote working. I didn't experience any problems of this sort, and I suspect that those who did probably failed to read the documentation.. In conclusion, I'm happy with my purchase I'd recommend this app over others that I have seen in the App Store.
