ProPresenter Stage

I love ProPresenter 6 stage view. It’s so great to be able to see all of the other info the main stage isn’t showing. I don’t need huge functionality from this app, I just want to see the text currently in and then the text from the next slide upcoming. Unfortunately, the display lag in this app is unacceptable. Even being a few seconds behind would be acceptable because I can see the next slide, but this is so slow it’s unusable. I don’t have screaming internet speed at home, but it’s fast enough for me to expect this to work. I‘ve had apps not work, but my disappointment comes from how high my anticipation was for something like this to work coupled with the price of the app. Maybe if this worked over Bluetooth... The places I would use this are in locations where I am a guest presenter and don’t have info on their internet speeds.

I bought this app on the fly because there was an issue with the iMac we use and we weren’t able to utilize stage display from our iMac. I decided to buy this app and give it a shot. I thought it would be a very basic app that syncs with ProPresenter. Well I was very wrong! This thing is awesome! The output display going to our TVs looks identical to the stage display from our iMac! And even if I wanted to custom stage display from our iMac in the settings, it’s a live representation on the iPhone using this app. I was very happy that I decided to buy this app! It sometimes lags a tiny bit when switching a lot of slides fast but it keeps up very well! (We have fast internet from Comcast too, so maybe that helps). I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to utilize stage display for individual use or for connecting to TVs for stage display like I used it for. It’s also great for a computer that only has 1 main output. You can utilize this app as the secondary output for stage display! I know it sounds a little pricy for $9.99 but I’m telling you it’s definitely worth every penny. This app saved our church service from becoming a disaster!

This is a great way to afford confidence monitors, especially being a mobile church. We run 2 monitors, each with its own iPhone. We could probably split the signal between the 2 monitors but that would require running an hdmi down a path with a lot of foot traffic. The reason I gave it 4 stars is it will sometimes stop syncing, which then requires restarting the app. Otherwise this is a great option for worship teams who need lyrics displayed.

Seriously. I just downloaded the app and opened up ProPresenter and clicked on Prefs and then on Display. Set up a special Mobile stage display template and entered a passcode. Poof! There it is. The app works great! No problems at all. A few adjustments on static and type size and this thing rocks! We are a small new church and this makes it so I don’t have to look behind me! I can use my phone on the stand and see what is up on the TVs. This rocks!!

ProPresenter itself is pretty great, hard to beat. This app, however, is not. It’s always been flaky, where some parts show the right thing blowhole others don’t... but after the first update in 2 years to add “support for ProPresenter 7” (hooray for planned obsolescence), this Stage 2 app does not work at all. Of course, I’m still on ProPresenter 6, so maybe this version ONLY works with PP7, but I’m not spending another “many hundreds of dollars” more to find out (that it probably doesn’t). I apparently now have to figure out an entirely different solution to be able to see the slides I need.
