## Description

The controller app for the "Teleprompter" app, available on the Mac and iPad App Stores. (pavonine.co/teleprompter)

Play, pause, reverse prompting, change the speed, jump to segment markers, or see the time remaining, all from your phone.

Teleprompter Controller has been carefully engineered with performance in mind, for distraction-free prompting control.

Controlling the Teleprompter remotely requires both the Mac or iPad running the "Teleprompter" software and iPhone/iPod Touch running the "Teleprompter Controller" controller to be connected to the same WiFi network. Teleprompter Controller can also use Bluetooth to control Teleprompter or Teleprompter for iPad.

Note that this application is useless on its own, and requires one of the following: 
- The "Teleprompter" Mac app, available on the Mac App Store
- The "Teleprompter for iPad: app, available on the iPad App Store

## Review summary

Users praise the app for cross-device control, responsive speed adjustments, multi-project handling, and affordable features. However, many reports repeatedly describe crashes, unresponsiveness, and unreliable connectivity, along with concerns about maintenance and iPhone-versus-Mac functionality. Overall, it’s valued when it works, but reliability and ongoing support are major drawbacks.

### Pros

- Cross-device control across iPad, iPhone, and Mac with generally smooth operation when it works.
- Real-time or near real-time text speed control and the ability to start/stop the display quickly.
- Supports multiple projects and lets the mobile app see and manage them.
- In-app script editing and the overall no-nonsense, affordable solution (controller is free, iPhone app is a paid option).

### Cons

- Frequent crashes, freezes, or unresponsive UI; launches can lead to no button response or a frozen screen.
- Lack of ongoing maintenance and updates, with concerns about compatibility with newer devices.
- Unreliable connectivity or pairing issues (shows a connection but controls do not respond, especially over Wi-Fi).
- iPhone app often lacks functionality or performance compared to the Mac app, with features like the speed control not working consistently.
