Hi Sumo-Lings!👋
I would like to address a few repeating questions:
1. Teleprompter on computer: BIGVU currently does not have this option. There is a BIGVU web-platform, where you can manage, edit, distribute, and brand your videos, but recording is only on the app. However, we’ve heard you, and we are making this feature a priority. I cannot say exactly when it will be released, but we will work hard to provide it soon.
2. CNAME of landing pages. Please bear in mind that the BIGVU Video Page feature is a new one. We are constantly improving it and changing it according to user requests. Currently, you are only able to host your video page on BIGVU, but we will definitely look into providing other options in the future. Also, you can distribute your videos in many other ways, as one-click sharing to all social media platforms, or even simply downloading your video in mp4 format.
3. Public Road map – I understand that you are curious to understand BIGVU’s future features. We have opened a temporary workspace that you can suggest features and vote for the ideas that already exist: https://bigvu.upvoty.com/b/bigvus-feature-suggestions/
Of course, if you have any specific questions, about any feature, please feel free to reach out to our support at support@bigvu.tv and they will be able to provide an accurate answer.
It has been very exciting so far, so thanks for all your love until now!

Phenomenal Company and Service
I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw BigVu show up on AppSumo! I had tested their app a long time ago, before I started a business.
The App is packed with value! The list of features keeps growing. Anything you want to do with video is possible very quickly and easily with BigVu. I feel this is especially helpful to businesses who want an all-in-one solution that requires no experience and where the learning curve is steep and almost instantly rewarding.
Their customer service team is phenomenal – I had a question I couldn’t resolve via their FAQ and they responded quickly.
I feel another important thing is worth mentioning here: I firmly believe that this company is here for the long haul. BigVu has been around for several years and keeps on growing and adding features and improvements. They are committed to creating a great products for us, their customers.
Lots of taco-love for BigVu!

Great Teleprompter for Solos!
If you create videos, then you know what a pain in the butt it can be to make a simple video. While you’re trying to keep in mind lighting, camera position, sound capture, make sure no one riings your bell or knocks on the door, it can be a challenge to remember what you want to say. Thus, a teleprompter app is such a great tool. BigVu takes it a step further. It’s not just a teleprompter app – sure, you can type out a script in the app, or on the desktop version and send to the app – but you can do some light editing and feature-adding at the same time. So far, after I record my video, I will let bigvu add the captions. From there, select a theme (which adds primary and secondary highlights to text), add some background music, and done! There are some more features (like intro and outro) that I haven’t used yet (mostly because I use some other tools for videos, like thumbnail blaster for thumbnail, etc) that probably make this app even better. There do seem to be some bugs with the speed (during some recordings, it feels as if it will on its own speed up or slow down the teleprompter). All in all, it’s been a great teleprompter app to use so far, and has really cut down the time I spend on getting a quiick video out.
Sumo-ling
Outstanding software- thank you
I’m delighted to have discovered BigVu – This one app can do so much. I can bring in a team of video editors to my workspace – I can add captions to my videos… send little video messages to my clients by using the video page- Plus I love the teleprompter function- the best I’ve used so far!
Outstanding software- thank you

Great Value Packed App
I work for a small non-profit organization who is trying to break into the video world to get messages across to people on YouTube and Facebook. I have used another teleprompter app for recording and liked it, but Bigvu goes a step further without having me pull open the other video editor I use for videos. It can add music, change green screen backgrounds in a click, and also transcribe and close caption your video- for me as a person with a disability making videos for the internet, that’ is a real plus in my book.
I am happy with all of the features, but I do wish that you could upload your own music and your own intro/outro video – then it would be a totally one-stop app. Otherwise, it’s a really great product that I hope you’ll try!
Michael_BIGVU
Hi Twilson67,
Thanks so much for your review. Glad you find BIGVU very useful in making video content.
I’ll pass along your feedback to our dev team. Regarding on how to add your own music, you can do this by following the steps here https://faq.bigvu.tv/en/articles/3577252-can-i-add-my-own-pictures-videos-music-to-use-in-bigvu

1st Video With Teleprompter…EVAH!
D@mn U, Sumolings who 5-Taco reviewed!
Interesting, as I have never used or promoted the use of teleprompters before. I like that BigVu also imprints the captions – based on my teleprompter script – to the video as one file.
Here’s my first test this morning: https://www.dropbox.com/s/n4b3n9n8d3bpprj/ShermanHu_Testimonial__Peter_Drew_LRS.mp4?dl=0
I’ve never wanted my clients to use teleprompters as I never want them to look stilted or look like they’re reading, so stepping further back, maximizing the font size, allows one to not look like they’re reading. At a selfie-stance/distance, it’s too easy to look like one’s reading off the prompt.
I do appreciate the ease of stopping the 1st take, clicking a button for creating the next take quickly, and carrying on. 6-takes later, most of which was fussing with my Airpods for audio input, and I knocked one out.
Thanks BigVu – fantastic ease of use of the teleprompter, recording, captioning and downloading the clip for use on YT etc.
Sumo-ling
I love the app, so easy to do it!
I wanted to put the app to the test and I’m really happy with the results.
I love the way it handles the flow of creating the video and the options it gives you so you can take several takes, change the script and improve your video all in the same place.
Before I was doing different takes but it would take me several going back and forth with the cam app and then trying to put the phone in the same place without moving it, and then trying again to handle the different options.
With BigVU I just create a script, record, try as many times I need, edit and publish. I love it.
Strategix
The key as a success video producer
It is a revolutionary tool for all those who want to start making videos and don’t feel comfortable with the camera.
BigVu is not only a teleprompter but also allows you to edit the video with the addition of background music, text transcription and even an outro.
I took two codes and am considering stacking others. if you have any doubts, take action now and don’t miss this gem.
Newbie_too
Amazing Product
This is a really impressive product. I write very few reviews, but this app truly deserves one.
The Teleprompter is a game-changer. It is easy to use and works exceptionally well. Previously I was using PomptSmart Pro on an iPad with a Caddie Buddy teleprompter on a tripod and a camera or phone doing the videoing. BigVu on my Samsung S9 is much easier. The green screen background replacement is so convenient too.
In addition, I have lousy eyes and the text is large enough, even on a phone screen, for me to not have to wear glasses. Amazing really.
Before I had to do captioning in Rev and more recently Happy Scribe (another brilliant app BTW) and background replacement in Camtasia. Time-consuming and tedious. It’s all in one place with BigVu
So much more productive
To top it off, support is exceptional, with prompt and detailed (read helpful) responses. Pretty much in real-time
Michael_BIGVU
Hi Newbie_too,
Thanks so much for your kind words. We’re glad you like the app. 😊
Cheers,
MarvinStone
I really appreciate your review here. I’ve been using PromptSmart Pro and Camtasia, as well, so your review really hit the mark. I’m pressing the Buy Now button on BigVu. Thanks, again.
maia
Really like the product
We’ve been recording a lot of short videos with this today and it works great for our needs. Great with the app and teleprompher, and its great that we can have full overview of all scripts and recordings in folders. Really smart!
Have stacked three codes so that we have enough users for possible videocreators in our team, and also will work with some clients on videmaking using BigVu. I want to encourage different people to make more videoes by giving them an account.
I just upgraded from 2 codes to 3 codes to go from 10 to 20 users. I would want more users, but for every extra code after three codes, you get 5 extra users, thats it. What i feel is that there should be more incentives to go higher after three codes.
But anyways, 5 tacos for you – Great deal!
Sumo-ling
Not sure how to pronounce the name but … 🙂
First things first is it vu (as in boo with a v) or view?
That’s my only gripe about this software lol!
Ok if you need the video review here it is:
https://youtu.be/bC-lCcXkpaM
I have seen this software pop up on my instagram sooooo many times, and I was looking to get it but in the meantime I actually bought a physical teleprompter which works great. But you know those times you want to record outside of the office?
Well this is ideal – in fact I am starting to use this even more than my teleprompter.
So what does it do?
In a nut shell allows you to create a script on the web, send it to the app and then you can record using their app and read the script and record professionally without looking off camera.
Yes it takes a while to get used to it but it rocks.
Then you can go to the web and put in lower thirds, captions and more!!!
But, and the big wow for me was, they now have a teleprompter for the web, so you can actually record from your cam which is so cool!
The cons – honestly there are none!!!
Grab this well worth every single cent.

Surprises and Delights!
I’ve been thinking about getting into videos to help build my personal brand and a teleprompter makes a huge difference in the quality and delivery of a video! I had been using the free version of BigVu already for months, and right when I was thinking about buying the premium version I see this on AppSumo and jump for joy! Thank you so much BigVu for this lifetime deal! To see it in action you can check out a recent video I made for LinkedIn here: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/alexandermoses93_mindsetmonday-mindset-longweekend-activity-6718772594901958656-9c9k

BigVu is easy to choose over competitors
I was watching bigvu for a while now and deciding whether I wanted to go with this teleprompter and video recording application or look for another. I saw VlogEasy in another site that was offering similar features but not quite what bigvu offers. In the end, I chose bigvu.
I love the taller frontier feature which makes it easier to do a video without having to stumble and forget the words makes it look professional and smooth. I like how the team works really fast to update features and release the desktop version as well as they have a huge roadmap of features that they’re working on features that they collected as suggestions from their users.
I would highly recommend this application and I see a huge potential for this platform. Definitely don’t want to miss this one.

Easy-to-use Teleprompter with Video Editing Features
A teleprompter app has been on my shopping list for a long time. Thanks very much for this amazing deal! Took me minutes to create the first clip (very simple and intuitive). It was a nice surprise that the team was able to launch their Desktop version in days. Well done and congrats!

A teleprompter I was just looking for making tutorial videos
I needed to record a script and this was just what I was looking for. I’m also very glad that BIGVU PrompterLive works on my Mac with Chrome. Haven’t used all the possibilities yet, but everything is simple and intuitive. There is even a temporary workspace to suggest features and vote for the ideas that already exist. Very promising app. Going to use it for making tutorial videos.
Definitely Five Tacos!

I have a iMac and MacBook Pro and have not been able to get a live dropdown menu [greyed out] to select a preferred microphone or camera. I’ve tried Chrome, Safari, Firefox browsers. Have you been able to? I have found somewhat of a work-around when I plug in an external USB device and then it works great and as advertised. Can you select a device from the dropdown menu?

Updated Review
I have discussed this issue with Bigvu’s support, and they did everything to help me with it. We had a 1on1 meeting, and now I can use Bigvu on the use-case I mention before with much more confidence. By understanding the real Bigvu’s benefit, I can say that I bought a tire, but I have received an entire car. I want to thank the Bigvu’s support team!

The mobile app is far from ready for prime-time. If all you need is a teleprompter, then the mobile app works fine. However, I would avoid editing the video on the mobile app, especially when adding captions to your video.
The mobile app freezes in the caption editing mode. I have posted screenshots and videos for support to review.
When words left out of my captions, I attempt to edit the captions, add the missing words and save, and recompile the video. However, the final edits to the captions don’t make it to the video, although they were saved.
In addition, there are loads of inconsistencies between the desktop and the mobile app.
There aren’t integrated cross-platform editing capabilities that would aid my workflow and allow me to shift from mobile editing to desktop editing. You have to choose between one mode of editing, which I could live with if there weren’t inconsistencies between the two editing modes. I was not aware of this issue when I purchased the software. I thought the two editing modes were seamlessly integrated.
The lower third theme styling is different between the desktop and the mobile app.
There isn’t an intro card feature on the desktop like there is on the mobile app. E.g, The caption styling between the mobile and desktop app is inconsistent. e.g., the gradient theme available on the mobile app is not available on the desktop.
Also, the video Takes made on a mobile app, when I upload them to the Cloud, aren’t numbered like they are on the mobile app. When you load Takes from the app to the Cloud, the Takes are placed into random boards, making it, so you have to sift through unlabeled boards to find the right video Take to edit.
To convey my concerns via an one-on-one requires weeks of waiting, so I will have to wait and in the meantime edit the video elsewhere.
Support does not answer my questions. They answer one at best, and I have to repost my questions repeatedly until I get an answer.
james25
Thank you! So good.
Thanks so much for this excellent app. Perfect timing. I needed to record a 30-minute presentation and there was no way I could memorize the script. I broke it into shorter chunks and used BigVu on my iPhone. The quality was great and using the teleprompter was easy and effective.
One thing that would be good is the ability to lock it in landscape. Every time I finished a video, I had to tip the phone upwards and back to landscape in order to get the text to format correctly.
Thank you for adding the desktop feature. That is really helpful.
Five Tacos!
Almar
Great Catch – Very Happy
This is the product that I was waiting for. What a great catch!
BIGVU works flawlessly and seamlessly on mobile and desktop. I have no problems in finding things out. it is all very clear and the helpdesk responds quickly.
Now even with the Desktop Recording function that their team did build in only 2 weeks it even gets greater! I have tested that out as well and also this works very smoothly.
Keep on the great work.

I Love BIGVU!
I am still learning how to use all the features on BIGVU but wow! I am SO impressed as it does way more than I was expecting. This is a fantastic deal. If you make videos at all, or are thinking that you may want to in future, jump on this deal. It is fantastic. I am LOVING it! I can now easily make professional looking videos. I am not a total newbie to video, but still very much in the learner stage. This app makes it look like I really know what I’m doing. 🙂
margiecoltharp
I purchased tI purchased one code today so my two partners and I can make videos. It was not clear to me when I purchased the one code that I sould not receive a Team account. I cannot create multiple ‘desks’, which would allow me to create video categories. One code=one desk that up to 5 people share. I think the language should have been clearer. I’m still trying to figure out exactly how the other two users access the site. I can’t seem to get a good answer from the chat feature on the BigVu site. I’ll try emailing support to figure this out, but it’s frustrating that I sold my use case to my partners without the full knowledge of what we would receive from buying one code.

So far, so great!
I grabbed BIGVU for making brief motivational/informational videos. It has exceeded my expectations! The iPhone app and desktop app are a user-friendly combo for getting the video shot in one take (I used to have a script in hand that I was always glancing down at, requiring loads of editing later), adding simple graphics, and (of course) captions. It’s really a no-brainer if you’re looking to get some pro-looking video content on your social channels.
drchristinesauer
Wow, this app truly exceeds my expectation!
First time I am so impressed with an app that I actually wanted to write a review. The teleprompter ono-screen, the background removal, the exact subtitles (due to the scripts being used) is exactly what I needed to easily produce more videos for social media.
The crop function when changing aspect ratios is easy to use and awesome, as are all the others. I haven’t even started t use them all but will.
If you like to use a script for your videos and you can still get this app before it is sold out, get it today! This is one of the few I never regret and will actually use!!!
danstanley
Splendid Tool That Exceeds My Expectations
Used it for a couple of hours and the teleprompter feature is pure gold.
This is a create app overall, easy and fast to use.
Get the job done quickly with its simple interface and still have some nifty tools up its sleeve.
Overall I am very pleased with this purchase as it exceeds my expectations.
Cons?
Upload to cloud takes a little too long?

Excellent Supprot
I bought this coupon and when I try to redeem the code I had some trouble since my app sumo email and redeem email was not the same. I contact the help centre with chat, they reply to me within one hour max. I am so happy they also arrange a video call with me and supported me until the problem was resolved. I give 5 Taco not only for the product but also for their support. I will highly recommend this product to all.

” app sumo email and redeem email was not the same.”
I’d suggest making it so that people can use different emails for app sumo and this product. (Most things I’ve gotten on AppSumo have that baked in already.) I use different emails for each company I do business with, that way I know where the emails are coming from.
Rei_BIGVU
Hi JohnD39,
Thank you for your message.
I would like to clarify:
We did tests on our side, Once you purchased the coupon through AppSumo, you can redeem it with a different account that you created on BIGVU 🙂

Holy Guac. What a time-saver
I just made my first video on BIGVU and it was the simplest, fasted video I’ve ever created. The teleprompter feature is worth its weight in gold, but then there’s the captions and background music and other effects. All of which take time and money to produce well. My only request would be to have a pop up reminder before shooting video to put the phone on DND to avoid any notifications/calls from disrupting the recording. Overall, a fantastic product. Well done folks.

HIdden GEM on Appsumo
During the pandemy, I make video tutorial to my business a lot. One of my problem is forget the words of what I will say, so I have to repeat the shooting. I bought Bigvue and found out:
– The teleprompter really helps me on video making. Only one shot and done!
– Have 1080 HD quality.
– Cloud upload, and compress the video even smaller and does not affect the quality. So I can work with my other apps to combine one video to another.
– Very precise caption and scripting, despite I use non-English.
– Script can be written on my laptor and direct export to apps.
– Very responsive CS.
Expectation:
– The video edit/cut is using wording. It should be easier using non-wording like other movie apps.
– Can not cut unwanted video clip in the middle.
– We can not combine 2-3 clips altogether (or I do not know how to do that?)
– Awaiting the web recording like the apps.
Very promising apps to work with. You should grab this deal if you are a vlogger or making many tutorial videos.
Thanks BigVu.
Reisner_BIGVU
Hi Sumo-Ling!
Thank you for your feedback.
Regarding your expectations:
– The video edit/cut is using wording. It should be easier using non-wording like other movie apps.
In Wordtrim, you can also use non-wording. You will see under the video preview a bar with two edges, you can also drag these edges, instead of the words. The marked words will also change accordingly to reflect the current state of the video.
– Can not cut unwanted video clip in the middle.
You are correct that this cannot be done in WordTrim at the moment. You are able to do this either by using Wordtrim twice (one time for cutting the video from the beginning until the start of the unwanted part, and second time starting from the end of the unwanted part until the end) and then combining the two videos, or directly in the Desktop Composer. To learn more about Composer I suggest reaching out to our team at support@bigvu.tv
– We can not combine 2-3 clips altogether (or I do not know how to do that?)
As I mentioned above, it is possible 🙂 it is not super intuitive at the moment, but we are currently developing a new feature that will be released soon that will address this option
– Awaiting the web recording like the apps.
You won’t need to wait too long 🙂
We made this a priority and are trying to get a first version out there as soon as possible. I don’t want to make promises, but expect it very soon!
Sumo-ling
Yeaayyyy…..
I just got the web recording from BIGVU. It rocks.
I can record from my laptos as well as from my Android. It is a pair of tool that easily combined each other. The cloud function work well and I can work back and forth.
Thank you.

Exceptional Customer Experience
I’ve used this before i.e. the free version so I already expected the paid version and this deal to be great.
What I didn’t expect was the exceptional customer service from Michael on the helpdesk, especially in this day and age where the customer experience in most places is sub-par.
I bought the LTD and of course was expected to set things up. All went well and I was like a kid in a candy store, just looking forward to having a fully functional account.
But then my device didn’t get setup so I raised a ticket via the chatbot at about 8 PM Chicago time and expected a response the next day … but, lo and behold I got a msg back with instructions on what to do.
I followed the simple instructions and my device got setup as required.
What you need to do if you get a msg indicating that your device is not setup is you need to download the app to your device and then use your login details to access your account. That should solve the issue.
So, it’s not a “problem” per-se but something that’s not so obvious (or maybe I missed the instructions on how to do this but it wasn’t obvious. If it’s not obvious then this could be something the team can consider calling out in the user setup instructions so people know t take the steps they shared with me that resolved the issue.
But I promised to come back and leave feedback because we all know how readily customer screm, kcik and shout if things don’t work but aren’t as quick to leave feedback when their expectations are met or exceeded.
And for the record, I have no association or relationship with BigVu!
Get this if you’re looking for a tool to create smooth videos that make you come across like a pro!
Clinton
Totally worth it
I had actually used this software previously, but not paid for the premium. When it popped up here, I had to buy it. For the price, I cannot imagine a better purchase if you record videos that you could use a teleprompter for. If you talk fast (or slow) then you can modify the speed. I have not tested the green screen software yet, but everything else seems aces for me so far…. getting a new lav mic for my phone, so we will see how sound is after that. First run through all the pieces seems great, and I would recommend you hop on this deal!
Rei_BIGVU
Hi Clinton,
Thank you for your kind words!
We are glad that you liked our product, feel free to contact us at support@bigvu.tv and to share your thoughts and ideas about BIGVU
Sumo-ling
Agree with you and will be investing in this because I’d also tried the free version and it was kind of “OK” but the real difference was obviously going to be in a paid version.
With this deal getting it is an easy decision especially based on the price.
And by the way, the green screen feature is as good as you can expect. I know because we had it available in the free version.
Michael_BIGVU

Hey Sumolings,
I record videos a lot and want to do it more with my smartphone rather than in front of a PC. While I usually go with the flow and say what comes to mind, increasingly, I am using a script – writing exactly what I want to say with clarity and thought – so that my videos are more useful to my audience and does what it’s meant to do.
I purchased BIGVU almost immediately – tested it and pleased with the results.
It would be awesome if they bring out a PC application but for now, what has been implemented on the smartphone is enough to satisfy me and justify purchasing this deal.
I am looking forward to what they have in store for the app, may add a second code for the unlimited workspaces – we shall see.

Something You didn’t Know You Needed
It’s like something you didn’t know you needed until you try it out.
It immensely speeds up the process in impromptu videos.
Making it clear, concise, and to the point.
This is one of the few times that having an Android phone beats the iphone with the speech recognition (sort of) feature. To be clear, it doesn’t stop when you go off script, but isn’t the point to stay on script?
While, I haven’t checked out the other features yet, it is super easy to use and the speed of churning out some videos with minimal practice, makes this a diamond in the rough.
What I like:
– Easy to use
– Quickly make videos on the fly
– The ability to type the script either on the website (desktop, laptop, tablet, mobile phone) or the mobile app.
– The other features are icing on top of an already delicious cake.
What I didn’t like:
– Can not record on desktop. (This would open up so many possibilities other than editing.)

Hi there, thanks so much for your review. 😊
Currently, the app does not support pause while recording or speech recognition to stop recording. Also, you can only from the BIGVU mobile app. Your feedback is greatly appreicated and I’ll pass them along to our Dev/Product team.
We have opened a temporary workspace that you can suggest features and vote for the ideas that already exist: https://bigvu.upvoty.com/b/bigvus-feature-suggestions/
I can guarantee that every one of them will be read.
Best,
Sumo-ling
Most appreciated!
I’m glad that the team reads every comment.
By the way, for speech recognition, I meant pause on silence. Sorry for the confusion.

Easy to use with awesome results
I’ve been recording a “video tip” every week for over a year now, most of the time right from my phone but, of course, with no lower thirds, logos or outros.
Now, I get to create the script on my computer, send it to the app and start recording right away, basically the same thing I was doing before but BETTER, with a nice telepromter and I get to add a lower third and an outro business card right from my mobile… even music!… so it is great and super simple to use…
Just a little struggle with adding the lower third but is just selecting the option “Style without subtitles” when editing the video and done. You can customize colors and fonts on your computer.
Overall, great purchase. Oh, and a bonus! It’s so easy that a couple of coworkers have decided that “Well, if I can read it like that, then I’ll do it” so they’ll give it a try to create videos… they didn’t wanted to do that in the past, so… a good thing 🙂
If you wonder how it looks, here’s a sample, actually my first video using the app (it’s in Spanish) but you can see the lower third at the beginning and the outro at the end… and judge for yourself if “looks like I’m reading” or not 🙂

Looks good. Did you choose not to use the captions on the video or did they just not work well with Spanish?
Nathalia_BIGVU
Hi Justin,
We have captions on selected languages including Spanish.
If you are having issues, please contact us at support@bigvu.tv so we can take care of this issue.
Thank you!
zewsweb
Thanks! We’ll they seemed to be working fine, I just didn’t had the need to use them and preferred the lower third. By the way, support is extremely fast as well 🙂

The price is right.
I bought this for two uses:
1. For me: I’m doing more videos, and having a good recorder/teleprompter is awesome.
2. For partners: To set them up with a prompter to create their own promotional videos for events we work on together.
It’s pretty easy. Mostly intuitive.
Overall, I bought it and got a new video up online today using it. That’s a good thing, and I know it’s going to be used at least once a week just like that. Worth the price.
There are a few drawbacks from my test today.
1. It would be nice if there were a way to make sure that notifications did not show while recording. They block the teleprompter, and OF COURSE everyone on my team (Nifty) started chatting RIGHT THEN. I know I can enable DND, and will. It’s just a pain when I forget.
2. The teleprompter speed is somewhat awkward to adjust, if you’ve not done it before (I hadn’t). If it were voice-activated, that would be much better.
3. The “Send to App” and “Upload” were not obvious to me, so I needed some help from service. However, they helped me quickly, and I got it done.
Overall, I’ve only used the basics, and I’m going to buy another stack, so I can use this with marketing partners. Very happy with the purchase. *smiles*

I agree. A teleprompter needs to interactive and reactive in terms of scrolling. Do you have a You Tube channel?

Fast and Easy
I really like video apps, so I just had to try this out. Something I didn’t realize when I purchased it is that you can make drag and drop videos as well, not just the teleprompter/self-recording videos that are stressed in the description, so it’s more full featured than I realized. Maybe I just missed it in the description, but that is an added bonus. It can be used on the desktop, and you just type your text and quickly select an image or video (and background music) from the stock library. My “test video” was about as simple as it gets, and I really like the end result. It looks like it took longer than the three minutes it actually took me to create it. I was able to render it and email it out equally quickly, so to me this has a variety of uses beyond what is being emphasized here in the description. This is a good purchase — a good value with some useful features already.

Easy Does It
I’m very pleasantly surprised by how easy it is to create videos. I was a little worried about not being able to use it on a laptop, but the fact that you can create a script on your laptop and send it to the app is great. That will do it for me. I just didn’t want to wind up uploading in my google documents or sending emails to myself and copying and pasting on the phone. Fortunately, I don’t have to do it.
I still have some learning to do in terms of editing. I will attend the webinar.
In addition, it’s great that you can create smaller pieces of content just by editing out the text. That’s big for us content creators, I mean online business owners who do their own content. I can see myself creating a video, and then creating smaller pieces from it that you can post on social media.
This one is definitely a keeper especially if you script your videos and read from a teleprompter. Your captions are automatically created. Huge high five and five tacos for it.

EMOTIONAL review!!
I would love to give you guys a flying HUG!
I was very sleepy last night, I saw this on AppSumo and I bought this with blinking eyes thinking if it goes off in the morning and I regret forever.
I was planning to do something of my own by paying a coder, you guys don’t have any idea what you have done for me!
tom-ashem
Excited for the opportunities (but it has a huge flaw)
I’m giving this app 5 tacos even thought I was tempted to give it 4 and do an update in case the feature I’m looking for is in the works… If it is, I would buy two more deals and share this with my friends, but I’d need to be sure that this will work.
What I’ve been using thus far is PromptSmart – which works GREAT but they don’t have an android app. The feature missing from your app is the voice recognition – smart pause. Check out your competitor mentioned above. What I can do there is stop talking at any point, and the app knows I stopped so it stops scrolling. Your app keeps scrolling regardless, so I would always have to talk at the same speed. Also if I was to talk faster than the scroll, then I have to wait for the scroll to catch up so I can continue speaking.
All in all a cool concept, but for me it’s unusable yet.
Rei_BIGVU
Hi Tom ashem,
Thank you for your comment.
We have a feature on only Android that called “Pause on silence” (Sorry iOS users, It will take some time until it will reach iOS) when the teleprompter automatically stops when you stop reading the text.
Currently, the only option is to pre-determined your Teleprompter’s speed. Your suggestion of adjusting the teleprompter according to your speed of speech is a great idea but it will require us to change our App׳s implementation.
We might consider combining it with our road map.
Rei_BIGVU
Hi Sumo ling,
Thank you for your question.
You can click on “Pause on Silence” in the App (only for Android) when setting the teleprompter before the recording.
Please follow our FAQ : https://faq.bigvu.tv/en/articles/3577230-can-i-slow-down-or-speed-up-the-teleprompter-speed
Sumo-ling
@tom-ashem, I agree, having this feature would be amazing! I, too, have been using PromptSmart.
In my communication with the founder of PromptSmart, he mentioned that the VoiceTrack scrolling technology was patented and no one else can use it, so that’s something for BigVu to consider.
tom-ashem
Oh wow. That’s interesting. I figured the concept might have a patent pending, but them having an actually issued patent for voice tracking. Good for them. For now I’ll be happy with bigvu’s offering just so that I can see what future might bring, but I won’t be buying more than one license. I understand there are additional options and that you can even adjust WPM on each and every line, but nobody’s going to do that (waaaay too time consuming) and in cases of longer presentations – 3m script + at some point you’ll either have to unnaturally slow down or speed up your delivery in order to get the whole thing in one take. Imagine 2 flawless minutes and then your text scrolls of the screen and you have to start all over again.
Sumo-ling
I own PromptSmart Pro and they DO have an Andriod app btw and even though they do, this is something to have in your aresenal.
