Parrot Teleprompter

Received my podcaster pro today and was excited to download the app…or not. Keyboard stops working when the remote is attached. Autoscroll only no voice recognition. I only use the teleprompter for for quotes, the rest is off the cuff. My other app starts scrolling again when I read the next quote and then stops when I do back to free speech, trines and repeat. If they fix these two items I will use the app and update my review. Being able to pull from something like google drive would also be helpful since all my scripts are there. Copy and paste from my Mac to the phone is effortless though and not a big deal.

Would like to be able to use the storage service of my choice. I don’t use Dropbox and will never use Dropbox as they are insecure. UI is clean but out of date, would love a revamp. Shortcut actions would be great for adding new scripts or have them suggested the day of a project and things like that. Add a donation button or subscription or something so we can help support the development of the app.

Mirror mode reverses the menu text, and your keyboard is gone on all apps after using it.

If you get the Padcaster with the remote, this software includes an annoying feature (as of v3.0.8) that can cause an iPhone on-screen keyboard to go into hiding if the Bluetooth remote is connected… for ALL APPS! I think it might have something to do with the Bluetooth remote making the iPhone think that a keyboard is connected, but my experience with the problem has been intermittent. Two fixes that I am aware of to get the on-screen keyboard to come back: 1. Restart your iPhone… PIA! 2. Cycle Bluetooth off .. less annoying. Other than that, it’s OK.

I can’t paste my text into the script. There is literally no paste option. The paste popup won’t appear. So annoying.

Sync drop box. Have no idea about to upload the files. Look for instructions but are t any. Crazy

The app achieves its purpose pretty well. Great, affordable set up (with hardware) and easy to navigate app. I film a lot of videos for work and use this to display every script. That being said, this app has LITERALLY the most annoying bug I’ve ever seen with an app. Everytime I use it (literally every single time), the moment I’m done filming a script in parrot, my keyboard for my phone disappears!!! I can’t get it back without restarting my whole phone, it’s INSANE. almost willing to pay triple not to deal with this glitch. Would be 5 star if it weren’t for that. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE fix this.

In the middle of working on a script, for over an hour, the app just deleted the script without prompt or notice. The app didn’t even quit… it just deleted my script and lost all my work. Deleting the app and looking for a trustworthy teleprompter app, because Parrot is not it.

Won’t sync with DropBox no matter what I try. Junk. Steer clear. Teleprompter apps shouldn’t be this bad.

We really need one drive support on this app for business users. Some business won’t allow Dropbox to be utilized without scrutiny. Please! Add one drive support.
