Teleprompter Reviews

I purchased an app for nearly $70 from Teleprompter Store, only to find that it freezes constantly and does not function as advertised. After requesting a refund twice, Apple flat-out refused without providing any valid justification.

This is not just bad customer service—it’s a violation of consumer protection laws. Under the FTC Act (15 U.S.C. § 45), California’s Consumer Legal Remedies Act (CLRA), and the Unfair Competition Law (UCL), Apple is legally obligated to provide refunds for defective products. Yet, they are blatantly ignoring these laws, forcing customers to pay for broken apps.

I am now escalating this issue legally by:
✔ Filing complaints with the FTC, my State Attorney General, and the Better Business Bureau (BBB)
✔ Disputing the charge with my credit card company for “product not as described”
✔ Pursuing legal action in Small Claims Court against Apple
✔ Publicly exposing their shady refund practices on social media and consumer protection forums

Apple’s refusal to issue a refund for a non-functional product is unethical and unacceptable. If you’re considering buying an expensive app, BEWARE—Apple does not care if it works or not. They will take your money and leave you with no recourse. Do not trust their refund policy—it’s a scam.

I never leave reviews, but Teleprompter has screwed me so many times, I felt an obligation. I love that the issues are ever changing, so you never know what you’ll get. Sometimes it glitches and distorts your voice. Sometimes the sound and video are thrown off. But whatever the issue is, you’ll have recorded a piece of content only to find you have to re-do it. This would be significantly less frustrating if I hadn’t paid $70 for it.

I wanted to try the product out and was forced to pay $8.99 just for one week. I canceled the subscription immediately and was subsequently charged an additional $8.99 plus another $29 for something else going to related from this company I don’t even know what it was. Very unscrupulous fee charging! I cant believe they didnt even gave a free trial (I’ve learned my lesson to never pay for even a week of something just to try it out!) In fact, the fees aren’t even consistent from what they advertise in Teleprompter Store and what you get charged for. Teleprompter worked but it was slow and clunky. definitely not worth $8.99 a week for such a simple thing.

After spending the better part of an hour, recording my testimony for a project I’ve been working on for over a year, I thought I had a clip that I could use for the premiere of a film happening tomorrow night in Florida. Unfortunately, Teleprompter wouldn’t allow me to either save, or share the file. This is despite the fact that it on a seven day full access trial for Teleprompter. I ended up losing all of the work I tried to put into it and never got the clip that I needed. When developers put out a crappy product, they should expect crap reviews. And that’s exactly what this is. I hope no one ever spend any money purchasing it.

I’ve purchased the 6999 yearly plan which renews January 2026 but it’s not unlocking any of the unlimited features and every time I go back into Teleprompter it’s telling me to subscribe again and it’s constantly purchasing it and charging my card more than once this company already charged my card twice for the same purchase. I had to refute one through my credit card company. Hopefully, I’ll get my money back.

While I at first loved Teleprompter and how smooth it was to use it’s the backend I am extremely upset with. Though I have a yearly subscription every time I log in it re-charges me for a new subscription. I now have 3 active and charged subscriptions off the same appleID somehow. When trying to reach out to their customer service I have gotten no assistance at all and was brushed off as “you need to cancel yourself” - which is great but I asked for help being refunded for the additional charges that shouldn’t have happened.

I signed up for Teleprompter because I really needed something with w this app. I clicked the free trial button and was prepared to pay for Teleprompter once I saw how it worked. The this app works, but I was unable to save any videos to my phone and was having storage issues even though I made sure I had space. App kept glitching so I cancelled my free trial and was promptly charged $70 for an app that doesn’t work. Apple also refused my refund as well. Highly disappointed

On the store page, they make it sound like they have a free version, with “in-app purchases”but all that means is you can’t actually save/export even your first video unless you start paying monthly. ( at least, every time I tried to save my video, even though I thought I was on a full trial, it would take me to the “subscribe” page. I found no solution and u wasted my time making the video. Downvoted for that. Just be upfront about it being a paid app… that doesn’t work! Teleprompter itself: Useful, nice large buttons. The UI to figure out this app speed could be improved, so there are fewer taps involved when setting it up. Overall good, but misleading practices to trick people into paying are cringe. I lost trust in your brand. Goodbye

I started with the free trial and it seemed to be working perfectly for what I needed it to work for. Unfortunately, as soon as I accidentally missed cancelling the trial, it started freezing up, the video recordings are very low picture and sound quality. Very glitchy and robotic! I hope they fix these issues because, now, I’m stuck with Teleprompter for a year. I definitely would not have paid over 70 bucks for this low quality and minimally maintained app.

Teleprompter is good for reading a script and recording but you can forget about the quality. From crushing the 4k iPhone look to removing stabilization completely Teleprompter takes it all away. Not to mention the awful microphone audio. I wish I could share how it looks when I film on my phone with and without Teleprompter because the difference is HUGE. I feel like I wasted my money buying the full version. Honestly I’m just disappointed an app that should be so simple has so many flaws. Honestly not even sure if I can use a lot of these takes I’ve been filming due to the lack of quality visually and audibly

I purchased a subscription and have a mixed review; though Teleprompter doesn’t work well enough to continue using it. The ease of writing a script is great, however, over 50% of the time, when I go to record, the script has vanished. After recording, the video quality is mostly subpar and has an obvious lag, which I can now see while recording. The quality was much better a few months ago but within the past month or less, Teleprompter has become useless.

I have an iPhone 13 Pro, and I subscribed to the premium version of Teleprompter. I can’t record more than one video without the audio messing up. Either audio stops working or it glitches. I can’t save drafts of videos, I either have to download the video or delete it. I have to restart Teleprompter everytime I want to make a new one. Very disappointing. I want my money and time back!

First of all, it irks me when apps are “free to download” but you can’t do anything with it. I was able to add my text, record my video. But if I want to download it, I have to pay. That doesn’t do any good.

Before I figured this out, I did a few takes. When I finally nailed it and got to where I wanted to edit it- there was no sound. This happened numerous times.

Finally nailed it, it had sound, and realized I couldn’t download it.

I did like the features of the this app. Adjusting the size, spacing, speed, etc. So that’s the 3 stars. But it was like 50/50 when it actually recorded the sound.

I like everything about it but just everything I wrote for the last few days just disappeared and there is no way to retract it when you go to settings it just says rate us instead of giving us the option to look back and find what was deleted or what is lost.
Very unfortunate.

The this app is a good feature and the recording are fine. But it’s crazy frustrating that you can’t save a video. Every time I try a new take, I have to export the old one or Teleprompter deletes it. That means I can choose the best of multiple takes before deciding which to edit. Also, the volume keeps being too low and while you can raise it in post production, it’s painfully slow and if your phone goes to sleep it stops. App needs work before you charge $9 a week, still feels mvp.

I make a lot of ads for social media and can’t memorize all the short scripts I write. Teleprompter solved the problem and saves me so much time. I was very surprised how easy it is to use and the video quality exceeded my expectations.

I have been using Teleprompter for two months and the time it usually takes to record videos for my Instagram profile has lowered dramatically with Teleprompter

All it does is crash. Can’t even open support. Update** After a couple of days I finally got an update which fixed the problem.

I use Teleprompter to record my vlogs and it’s absolutely amazing! I always had a problem with remembering what to say next while I was talking in front of a camera and this app simply saved my life. I can read script while recording my videos now. Definitely recommended.

Teleprompter helps create paragraphs that are professional, insightful, and extremely helpful. The only thing I have to say is that I wish it was for the monthly prices. Some people can’t afford a full year at one time.
