Propresenter Stage Display App Reviews

We have used this and it worked great until Propresenter updated….the last update it works flawlessly with is 5.1.9 every version after that it crashes randomly during the service. I know it’s the software because we’ve tried multiple of everything else. I try every new version but we are being forced to keep using 5.1.9 so the stage display works……PLEASE FIX THIS

This app is great. At first I was getting the blank black screen like other reviews talk about. After digging through the forums, I found this: Move the "com.renewedvision.ProPresenter5.plist" file located at ~/Library/Preferences to the Desktop. If you are on OS X 10.9 Mavericks, you have to restart your computer at this point or this won't actually work. After rebooting, everything has been perfect. I don't have a third display and it still works great.

On there website they show and talk about video countdown in this app. They have removed this feature. The countdowns in this app are the countdowns you set. It will not show how long is left in a video. This made the $10 over priced app a total waste of my money.

This app works amazingly! There are lots of reviews stating that this app doesn't work and that all people get is a blank screen. Those people haven't actually taken the time to understand how the app works. Submit a trouble ticket and have them help you. Long story short, the app will only display something if you have the USB display link plugged in...even if you don't have any wired stage displays. This is necessary in or to tell ProPresenter you have an additional SD screen attached. The moment we plugged that in, we haven't had ANY issues. This is saving us a great deal of $ & time as we are a mobile church and otherwise would have to purchase the cabling and the displays. We are using an iPod touch, the hdmi adapter, and connecting it to an old projector to throw the display on the back wall. Have tried it a couple times and works perfectly. Feedback to renewed vision is that you need to explain to people that they need the USB display link adapter plugged in. Will save LOTS of headaches! Otherwise thanks for the great app!!

I'm not sure if iTunes keeps or replaces past reviews but regardless- 1.0.4 is a great update. Runs solid, works very well with external monitors and projectors, and allows easy switch between layouts even while connected to an external display. Two thumbs up- and great support from the Renewed Vision development team (especially Wade!). I'd definitely recommend both the app and the company- gives a great way to display a confidence monitor for your singers, timers for your pastoral staff, and verses/lines for any Christmas specials you might have. Worth every penny- great job guys.

It's pretty awesome. I had problems with it at first, but all the problems were fixed in the settings on the iMac we were running it through. I don't think it should be worth $10, but it's still pretty helpful.

This preview is nothing like the real app and I demand a refund.

It has been working well but when I got the IPhone 5 the app seems to crash and it will not connect. Spent almost $100 for the right cables and can't use the app?!? Cant find any answers online. Definitely time for a refund!

Tried it today while leading worship - it worked well. It seems to maintain network connections more reliably than the Remote app did. Custom stage layouts work, though the text size doesn't seem useful - I may need to look in a setting in PP somewhere. Overall, a wonderful and very useful extension to the Stage feature. It's like having custom wireless confidence monitors anywhere you want for "free". I can't wait to try it on an iPad! Great job RV team.

Slides won,t advance past the first slide. ProPresenter sometimes crashes. Windows version 4.0.4.0 Font too small, does not correlate to how slide is formated. Special characters are lost (áéíóúñ) Should I go on? I want my money back

It's not completely bug free. But it's working ok. This app saved my church from spending a lot of money running cables to screens for the singers. We're also using this app to send chord charts to musicians. I give that feature about a 3/5 for now. Needs work. Also using this to send message to performers. Neat feature. I should add 10 bucks per ipad for this is pretty lame since we just spent 800 on the site license...

The time on stage display doesn't work correctly...it say AM when it really PM and I've changed to multiple templates and sizes.

Don't waste $10!

Cant use this app due to lack of language support. Please enable korean language support in the next update.

We generally have no issues with this app. Sometimes certain punctuation is displayed as a question mark even though it is fine on the actual stage display. The double-click to edit is there too, although blank on main screen. But these aren't deal breaking. Several members use the app. Choir members who cant see the back screen (even though it is really big). And congregation who have a hard time with size and contrast of the main screens, even though we do our best to be mindful of these things for songs and sermon slides. We are even using it to help a young blind man feed the lyrics into his Braille machine. For these use cases, we just set up a separate layout called "audience" that shows one box: the current slide, in as big font as will fit. So far it is working well.

The idea is great. So great, that when I needed extra Stage Display locations temporarily for an event at the church I work for, I bought it, tested it, and set up everything for it. What happens? The week before the event, the app just doesn't work. Seriously, all direct connected SD screens show messages as they should, but this overpriced app just shows a blank screen. Tried it with external display adapters and AirPlay, it still is junk. Maybe Renewed Vision will listen to the terrible reviews for this and work on an acceptable update, but right now, I'm a loss for what to do. I need SD screens, but I can't get them this way.

It simply doesn't work. The screen is completely blank. Don't waste $10

This app is very useful for us as we have a large stage. We don't want a bunch of confidence monitors all over the stage and don't have the space in the back of the room to use a projector. The stage display app allows us to put iOS devices where needed and because of their size, they aren't too noticeable from the audience.

I was iffy about buying this because of some reviews but I needed it and bought it anyway. All I have to say is that I'm disappointed. $10 is an outrageous price and when it has significant trouble connecting, you get annoyed real fast. This app needs and update.

Just downloaded and installed and it worked right away. There are some limitations on features compared to a normal stage display, but this will be handy! I didn't have to buy a USB adapter or move files around as some reviewers indicated.

So far an awesome app... BUT: The only problem that I am having is my elapse time does not respond! Every time I start it, it gives me a "0" start time, but doesn't move from there. When I stop it, it reflects the time at the stopping time and when I start it again, propresenter keeps counting time and my iPad starts counting backwards. This is so weird! Please fix this issue!! That is why I am giving it a 1 star, everything else is pretty awesome...

It just works... As expected.

It's just showing a blank screen... I've used the app tons of times before and it's been perfect. I guess an update messed it up???

I purchased this app when we purchased pro presenter 6 at our church. At first we had a lot of issues with it lagging behind to the point of freezing. I have communicated with renewed vision all the issues I have had. They have not been able to come up with a solution. I have now updated my iPad to iOS 9. App does perform better but after a short period of time it begins to lag behind again to the point it freezes. Don't know what the solution is. I have done everything from restoring my iPad to checking all networks and still no success. This app is too unstable for me to use.

This app works well for my iPod touch 4th gen and my iPad 2 (PP5 for Mac). I have never experienced any connectivity issues: the wireless network covers our entire church well. Pros: Ability to chose any of the Stage Display configurations Real time update of Stage Display Cons: Video countdown does not work Does not support colors Price... We use this app at Ignite Church of Camden County, GA to give cues to our light operator via the Stage Display notes. It is very useful in that way. We also do intimate worship sets for the youth in the cafe, so this lets the worship leader see the words and the ProPresenter remote lets me control it even when the computer and projectors are in another room. The wireless connection can't be beaten. However, I am still waiting for an update to fix the cons (I doubt the last one will be amended though). Renewed Vision makes great software, but the prices of the apps are a major deterrent. Other companies, like our digital sound board maker, Presonus, offer free apps.

This app works okay on my iPad, although its very incomplete... It doesn't display slides that are images, which a lot of churches use and it makes this useless. As for my iPhone, it doesn't work at all. I cannot get past the login screen. Still needs a lot of work. I wouldn't waste the $10 until they come out with another update. This could be a great app once complete and updated!

Works great, just wish it would show images along with text...hopefully they'll add that feature.

Not working with unicode

Great app just wish it worked with chromecast!

Doesn't work if a display isn't connected for stage display. You can to put the stage display on your primary screen then close it after the app connects and make it work. PP4 update needed to fix this I'm sure.

Works as advertised. What a great idea to use mobile devices to increase the features of ProPresenter.

Do not buy this app, as it will work only once. I have iMac and MBP which I used in live performance in Propresenter at first I configured it and it worked for both machine, after few days it STOP DISPLAYING the lyrics for musician. I can see that I was log on and see the various layout I customized for my team. But choosing either of them was no USE at all. So I QUIT using this app it just wasting my time in trouble shooting. I returned to wired traditional approach which is efficient to my team.

I bought this app an hour before service and had no trouble setting it up. I left it on thought the service and it never disconnected. Great app for worship leaders like me who forget lyrics constantly lol :)

This app is definitely glitchy, but the big problem is that the clock is not working for us. The time displays correctly in stage display on the computer, incorrectly in the app. On multiple devices. Please fix!!!

I will never buy more than one of these unless they drop the price..,I sort of regret buying this one. $10 is way too much for this app, however, it does the job it says it's supposed to do. pro remote is way more useful and costs 1/2 the price. If this was closer to the $2 range I would be able to convince band members and singers to buy this. If this ever went free, our church could forgo the words on the screen and just use this as a hymnal of sorts...for those that need it.
