Description
Connect to the prompter app PromptSmart Pro to move text up/down one line, scroll continuously, go back to the top, and see what the talent sees in mirrored mode.
PromptSmart Pro Remote Control is an optional, companion app to the PromptSmart Pro teleprompter app (subscription required) that lets you control the scrolling of your content with a simple tap of your finger to move it forward or backward, start/stop your presentations, and return to the beginning via a WIFI connection or mobile hotspot.
The Remote Control allows you to mirror the screen of your prompter display so that the content of the teleprompter display can be viewed and re-positioned from a distance.
Two iOS devices with a history of connection will learn each other and connect more easily afterwards. If the remote screen sleeps, the connection will automatically be re-established once the remote control app is made active again (after a few moments).

Ratings and Reviews
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.
The remote app is unreliable when it counts
The remote app looses connection in the middle of filming frequently, when it happens the teleprompter is essentially useless at that point if you are doing a live broadcast (can’t exactly tell the audience to stop and wait for you to go to the other phone and reconnect the teleprompter). If you are making a recording, you then have to stop and re-record or plan to edit out the interruption. For something that requires a subscription, this is unacceptable. I wanted this to work so bad, and stuck with it for 2 months, but after the last failed broadcast, it’s not worth trying to work with such an unreliable product.
Useful but very tiny button
Could you please make the Down button large for manual scrolling? I’m not looking down and blindly pressing the tiny Down. Arrow button and it’s very frustrating because even with my large finger I still keep tapping and missing/not hitting the puny button. I never use the giant green play button. I use rewind button- also very tiny but at least we’re not blind when hitting it. The button that people hit blindly should be BIG ok?
