This is a great app and I really like the layout and proportions of the text and video areas. Other teleprompters I tried didn’t deliver nearly as good a result, since any viewer could see my eyes were not looking strait at the camera and, to make things worse, eye movements (as when reading) were perceptible to the viewers. A wider video area would not only make my eyes move in a perceptible way to viewers, but also make me look farther away from the lens.
I bought the Pro version and consider this to be the best teleprompter app for the above reasons. That being said, unlike other apps which prevent the iPhone’s screen from going to sleep while recording video, this app doesn’t. My phone’s screen would go blank after a minute or so and, as a result, the app would stop recording.
I asked for help via the contact form for support in the app’s website, but unfortunately received no answer. I then searched for my issue and found a way to prevent my iPhone’s screen from going to sleep. When I want to use Video Teleprompter, I first go to Settings > General > Auto-Lock and set it to Never, so that my screen only goes black when I press the Sleep/Wake button. When I’m done using the App, I change the Auto-Lock settings back to their original.
In spite of this issue and lack of support, I didn’t detract stars because this app is so cleverly built. Hopefully this issue will be fixed and we won’t need this workaround.
