BIGVU Teleprompter & Captions

I'm modifying my previous review. It is likely that my limited available storage space on the Galaxy S9 contributed to my difficulties. Positives: Easy to use interface Easy to cut and paste scripts into the window Excellent options for positioning and modifying the text and scrolling speeds Very good analysis of space available and warnings about recording size Tons of other options I don't readily need for occasional presentations, but good to know they are there. Plenty of export and save options as well as the Bigvu "cloud" Negatives: No option (that I;'m aware of) to move the application and data (videos being recorded) to the installed SD card. Cost of subscription is a bit high for an occasional user like me. If I were making videos weekly, the cost would be very much worth "the price of admission"

Game changer for me. Was never good with the teleprompter so spent hours memorizing text hoping to retain it while self taping my audition. Now it's so easy to set up your script on the teleprompter and then start filming practice takes immediately. You can relax and not have to struggle to pull up text in your head.. I've used it on 3 auditions in the last week and a 1/2. Thanks guys. A great tool for me.

I liked the app. And was happy with it. Until the freaking beauty filter completely disappeared. I contacted many times, but they said it is improving the filter, and it will take a bout two weeks. I waited. Nothing. So I contacted again, but they said they don't know when it will be fixed. Very annoying. now it has been three weeks, still nothing. I needed it three weeks ago, it affected my work so bad. I don’t know if this is a trick to let me purchase it. Just be honest. I won't use it. 😡

At work great until I got a Galaxy s21 ultra. Now when I hit record the text doesn't move for a good 20 seconds then when it starts moving you can tell it's lagging even the video looks like every time I move it's just dragging across the screen. When I stop recording it doesn't stop it just continues in the only way for me to stop it is to close out the app. Then when I open up the app those recordings aren't there. I loved it on my last two phones but it's just not working on this one.

The app worked great on my phone and laptop but then I tried to edit the video online and regardless of the browser I use, the page becomes unresponsive so I cannot edit. I contacted Bigvu and was asked to reboot which I did and to no avail. I tried another browser and closed all the other open apps on my laptop to free up CPU and still cannot edit. Very disappointing. I have this 2 stats because the teleprompter works great. I'm researching other apps to use.

On a pixel 5, trying to record video was a joke. I have no space issues, no processing issues, and no viruses on my phone, yet this app froze any time I tried to actually record video. Maybe it would be better if i paid for it, but I'm not going to waste my time when other, FREE options provide all the same functionality. If you paid for this, you made a bad business decision.

Great idea, but not implemented well. I subscribed for the free trial and then tried the app. Poor video and sound quality, very buggy app, so I canceled the subscription through the app and uninstalled. I was ready to leave it at that, but then a few days later I was notified that they charged my card anyway! I should have read more reviews first,, many others have had the exact same experience. Stay away from this one.

This is an excellent app for creating videos on my mobile. The teleprompter made it very easy for me to record in minimal takes. It's great how this app can add subtitles automatically. Working with these videos on my computer was a big bonus on enhancing the final product with images and music. The customer service is super responsive if you need support.

Works good. I haven't had many issues, but there are some. The first problem I noticed was if I'm not on Wi-Fi the video doesn't upload. I waited for a long time and it wasn't loading. As soon as I got home and turned on the Wi-Fi it uploaded immediately. The second thing was that the stop scrolling during a pause, doesn't work for me. The script stops randomly and doesn't start again. I noticed that the mic sensors don't move even though the mic is recording.

A total waste of time and money. I pay for the upgraded version but once they go into the editing process they play back at 3 times faster than recorded. Support says to change my settings,but the setting they suggest is what they are already set as. Then they say,try editing it on another device,we'll that defeats the purpose of having it. A lot of my content is posted on the fly,I don't want to wait ,take it home,load it to something else and so on. Ask around first. I wish I would have.

I absolutely love this app! It makes it very easy to record informative videos for my client. I can be sure that I won't omit any important information when preparing my social media posts. It's very easy to adjust the speed and text size! There is also an option to export the video to edit on other apps to create voiceovers for other videos. The possibilities are endless on this app!

If I could give it no stars I would. Everything is perfect about this app except I could never get it to actually save a video making it completely useless. Tried to record 4 times. Nothing over 2 minutes. Would hit the 'stop' button at the end and the app would just spin. Couldn't back up. Wasn't telling me it was doing anything other than the spinning circle of death. Waited over 20 minutes the last time I tried on a 45ish second video to see if it was just really slow 🐌. No joy.

I like the teleprompter capability. However, the videos cannot be upload to their cloud, when you select high definition or medium definition. Only works if you select low resolution video quality, as a result the quality of the final video is very bad, videos are blurry when you upload them to the cloud. It didn't work if you select higher resolution or medium resolution. I asked them about this problem, but they didn't gave me a solution. I will have to cancel the upgrade subscrition.

I would have given this app a better rating because the concept is good. Issues I had were that if it's a few paragraphs the scrolling suddenly stops and you are stuck. The biggest issue is the way they hide the way to cancel a sub. Something no recent review seems to cover. Their FAQ leads to a non-existent page and even their website links lead to non-existent pages. Very bad.I had to cancel thru the play store. Tho it shows on app I might be charged annually? Even tho it was $10 originally.

Terrible app! 1. It significantly lowers the video quality of the front facing camera 2. light for some reason flickers instead of staying steady (and I double checked without using the app, and using several different lighting options to make sure it wasn't an issue on my end or my phone). 3. It significantly lowers the volume of anything you're recording and the audio is not sharp or clear but rather low and fuzzy. 4. Way over priced for what you're getting.

I don't agree with some 1-star reviews. I think this app is awesome. Does exactly what it should do. It makes your video creation process much easier: scripting - teleprompting - adjusting the videos - adding subtitles (beautyful subtitles!) - downloading/publishing videos. Saves you a ton of time and I think it is absolutely just to pay some money for this service! :)

This app is fantastic! I found it to be all encompassing from video creation, editing, and distribution to one's social media channels. Plus, the functions to do all of that are very easy to learn and use. You can incorporate overlays, other videos, music, etc., right into your video, and, you can also use a green screen or not and change the initial background. Wow! This app is packed with features that will allow anyone, especially content creators to produce jaw-dropping videos!
