PromptSmart Pro Remote Control Reviews

Fantastic!

In looking at older reviews, I was worried about purchasing this remote app, but as I was working a case with the responsive PromptSmart support team, they shared that anyone could try the remote app free for 30 days. Generally, the VoiceTrack capability works quite well once all formatting has been cleared from imported scripts, but occasionally larger words can create hiccups. The remote app, with the July 2020 updates, has performed flawlessly for me, saving lots of wasted movement and time. My other learning is that having a corded lav mic plugged into my iPad contributes to more consistent VoiceTrack performance. Highly recommend regular users having the remote to save time and energy.

Make buttons larger please!

I keep my phone out sight while scrolling but often find my finger is no longer on the “button”. Please make the entire area larger so I can scroll easily without having to look at my phone and reposition.

Don’t Bother - waste of time and money

This app and the remote are designed well but have never worked consistently even in the most ideal conditions. They’ve both caused lots of headaches when I use them on client shoots and I’m extremely frustrated. Not only does it fail to consistently progress along when words are read but the remote app can’t even scroll properly. Incredibly over priced for how often it fails

Frustrating and inconsistent

When this app works well it is truly amazing. The problem is that it will randomly stop working with no fix possible. On my latest shoot I was using the remote app to preview text on a long script and scroll appropriately. At a certain line in the script the prompter would suddenly skip to the end of the script. Disconnecting and reconnecting did not fix the problem nor did restarting the apps. We are using recent released iPhones and iPads with iOS 14. We’ve had this same problem on previous OS versions. We had to stop our shoot and possibly miss a deadline because of this app. Very disappointed.

Consistently inconsistent

The remote app is unusable in its current condition. It loses wifi, does not swap out correctly between Script and Notecard mode and will not reconnect to my iPad Pro without a restart. Just to clarify, not an app restart, not a good wifi cycle/restart but a full iPhone and iPad power down and up restart. Yep. That’s bad. Seeing that I purchased PromptScript Pro instead of other competitors for the remote capability as well as Notecards, I am not just out $12 for this remote app but also $19 for the PromptScript as well. This is a terrible experience for $31. Really just want it to work. Have a presentation tomorrow, going to have to revisit my strategy.

Useless!

I bought to compliment my Little Prompter. I tried to use it today and it does not work. It keeps saying searching. I uninstalled to reinstall it but to no avail.

Question

Do I have to pay an additional $11.99 to enable the remote app for Prompt Smart Pro app???

I wanted to like this product

The voice recognition is highly revolutionary. Unfortunately, using this product as my solution to being able to control the speed of the prompter with my cellphone has not been successful. I had a very important client for which I needed to control the speed and also be able to direct throughout. Already bearing so much pressure for all the other elements of my shoot to go well, I was very disappointed when the software would not connect between my iPhone and my iPad. Tried many troubleshooting techniques and nothing worked. I would like my money back for the failure of the subscription and am now forced to seek another provider.

Um...

So you want me to carry a THIRD iOS device (WITH hotspot) to get a reliable connection? Wouldn’t Bluetooth from prompter to remote make a lot more sense? Who carries around three iOS devices on a daily basis?

I need this to work

But it doesn’t. When I open the app I get nothing. Am I doing something wrong. How can you release an app that doesn’t even come close to performing.
