Public Speaking Toolkit 4+

I write a lot of speeches and was looking for an app to help me when I get stuck. This app is a good start to get you thinking in the right direction. There are some things I wish the developer would add to make it better. For example: The speech writing tips should be easily accessible from where you input your content, You should have the ability to make bullet points within the program, and you should be able to use the app as a prompter while giving a speech. Overall, I would recommend this app to start learning how to right speeches or when in a crunch.

On both my iPhone 6s and iPad Pro running iOS 10.2, the first thing I saw when opening the app was a System message warning that the app may signficantly slow down my device and needs to be updated by the developer. Since like the typical person I'm risk-seeking in the domain of losses, I went ahead and still played around with the app for 15 minutes. I definitely liked what I saw but feel that, in order for me to commit to using it, I feel the developer really needs to address whatever it is that is causing that compatibility warning (which I've never seen before). So, I will await an update, either from the developer or from Apple, that allows me to rest assured I'm not doing unknown harm to my devices.

The 3 stars is the average of 5 (for great content and interface) and 1 (for incompatibility issues with latest iOS). When the latter is addressed, I will update my rating to the glorious 5-star status.

This app is fantastic. I have a tendency to over commit myself and don't always set aside the time I should to prepare for my presentations and big pitches. SmartMouth gives me the flexibility to jot down notes, brainstorm ideas, and prepare for presentations on the go, and as ideas come to me. It is a huge help in keeping me organized and prepared. Highly recommended.
