Customer support was very helpful and friendly, too. The product is great anyways! Recommended! :) Pros Very useful features like sending your script to your mobile phone (where you record the video in the app and play the text as a teleprompter), adding beautiful subtitles, even creating video landing pages... That's just very briefly what the best features are. Overall it supports you in all steps of the video creation process. Cons I haven't found a lot of cons yet. What might be interesting to add is the possibility to change the color/font of the scripts for the teleprompter. So you are reminded if you want to speak in a special way. Moreover customization is always nice to have I'd say, but it really is a good product. Alternatives considered [Adobe Premiere Pro](https://www.capterra.com/p/233456/Adobe-Premiere-Pro/) Reason for choosing BIGVU I use both depending on the project I am dealing with! Review Source CC Carlos C. Producer/Director/Editor Entertainment Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Minimalistic and powerful in the palm of your had. " July 15, 2021 4.0 This is an essential app for creators that maybe don’t have the time to invest in a desktop application for editing videos. Having the convenience of creating content on the phone and using the same app to edit and export makes the process simpler and intuitive. Pros The software integrates a lot of great features for content creators. The graphic interface is very simple and minimal; but yet intuitive and well design for mobile devices. Features like the closed captioning; teleprompter for selfie view and basic editing for trimming and exporting clips are very useful. Cons At times the process of rendering the videos can be slow. It also depends on the resources pulled on the device at the same time. It will be best if the app was more responsive and faster processing. Switched from [iMovie](https://www.capterra.com/p/207187/iMovie/) I move lacks the features that make BIGVU more practical for creating video content. Review Source RK Rob K. Owner and Chiropractor Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Use it ALMOST daily" February 13, 2026 4.0 BIGVU has allowed for way more content creation than we were putting out before and overall has been an amazing addition to our business. Pros Bigvu is great for coming up with a script and being able to make a video without looking scripted. We use it a lot in our office for content creation, and it is made the ease of use amazing. Cons Some of the functions like reading speed seems to jump a little bit despite being set at a certain speed, subtitles seem limited in options as far as aesthetics. Review Source KYR Karen Y R. VP marketing E-Learning Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Glitch in Software - voice and audio does not sync" June 30, 2025 2.0 I would have been a 4 star (instead of 5 star) just because of the caption thing because I have to export and use another tool for captions and front end and back end. but now it is 2 star because this has really started to cost me time and money.... so much more than the cost of my lifetime license. I have a product launch and have been making videos for top of funnel, but in this day and age, you can't have something look like it is poorly dubbed. Pros I love the teleprompter and now with the ai script tool, it is really easy to get going. The AI eye fixer so you don't look like you are reading is a great feature. I have been using BigVu for over a year. Cons Initially my only issue with bigvu was the limitation on where you could place the captions. They can ONLY be on the bottom half of the screen. You can't move them around to be at the top of the screen It is really designed for someone with a tripod and their body takes up the whole portrait mode, not someone walking and talking recording in selfie mode, because then the captions will cover most of your body and sometimes your face. I accepted I had to use a different tool to edit. BUT NOW... some glitch in their software causes the mobile version to record out of sync. The audio lags the video by a few seconds. Really noticeable It worked fine in the spring - April. Then in May it started having problems. I thought it was because I had an old phone. Got a new phone and it still persists. Tech support has no idea why. They just keep suggesting to toggle between phone one or phone two. I've tried at every speed. Review Source Ivan T. Founder & Communication Empowerment Specialist Public Relations and Communications Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A great tool, but needs some work on their mobile app" December 15, 2022 5.0 great experience, it helped me start to do reels and videos to promote my company. Pros The teleprompter in the phone, the text editing and autocaptions. Cons The custom templates work only on desktop not on mobile. Alternatives considered [VEED](https://www.capterra.com/p/193780/VEED/)[Headliner](https://www.capterra.com/p/241281/HEADLINER/) Reason for choosing BIGVU because it had the features and the price point I needed Switched from [Headliner](https://www.capterra.com/p/241281/HEADLINER/) it was cheaper, more powerful and had a better mobile experience.

Waste of Time and Money" March 14, 2024 1.0 Wish I would have seen reviews warning me that this was nowhere near ready. I wasted so much time with this. I would not use it if it was free. Now I'm out over $130 AND 3 days of my life. Pros The training videos were great. Too bad the web video editing wasted my time. Cons Bugs. Web Video Editing was slow. The platform made it where my audio and video did NOT match making my videos unusable. Switched from [iMovie](https://www.capterra.com/p/207187/iMovie/) BigVu marketing looked great. I just wish the product could deliver. Review Source LG Lisa G. Coach and Consultant E-Learning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The BEST teleprompter app on the market!" June 16, 2025 5.0 Overall I love this product and recommend it to my students and peers alike. It's a great app to use for online auditions where there's a lot of copy. Pros I purchased a lifetime licence and love not paying monthly. I like that I can create a script by typing it in the app on my computer and then log into it on my phone for when I'm recording. I also like that I can adjust the speed and font size. Cons No matter how hard I tried, when recording in landscape, because of where the lens is on my phone it doesn't look like I'm looking directly in the camera. The "eye fix" is weird and looks unnatural...so still figuring that out. Review Source Tony S. CEO Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Slash Your Video Production Time to Minutes Instead of Hours While Leveling Up Your End Product" September 14, 2023 5.0 For YEARS, I have wrestled with trying to find a product or service that would enable me to achieve the kind of results that can be expected from an expensive teleprompter setup - without the expense and lack of portability of such equipment. When I found BigVu, I felt like I did when I found my spouse. It's what I'd been looking for my whole life! (Well, at least for a LOT of years when it comes to my video creation needs). Pros The ease of use, ability to upload and edit scripts on the fly, switching from desktop to mobile device usage, the speed and flexibility of features, and outstanding customer support. Cons Not being able to have folders to sort videos in the lower level tier. Reason for choosing BIGVU This was a happy accident. I didn't really know how awesome BigVu was until I got it and started playing with it. But after the fact, the value is HANDS DOWN huge compared to all other options. Review Source Diego C. Marketer Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Bigvu is a great tool, it has helped me create courses and content without unnecessary padding" October 21, 2022 5.0 Bigvu has definitely saved me a lot of time when creating content, and the results are more precise and of better quality. Pros I'm constantly creating content and this telepronter has been a key tool for me.Bigvu makes my videos great. I consider it quite useful for all of us who are dedicated to creating content and info products as part of our digital business. I like its simplicity and also that the interface is very clean. And the best thing is that I can use it on the phone and on the laptop. Another point in favor of Bigvu is the support, there really is a team behind this company that does its job well. I have contacted them on several occasions and in the end they have resolved any situation I have had.They have great product documentation, and they always do webinars and videos for their YouTube channel. Cons Something that I did not like about the Bigvu app is that you cannot stop the recording at the exact moment and then continue. To pause, you must first load the recorded video and start recording a new video, and position yourself at the point you left off. It has a function to stop automatically on silence, but when there are gaps in the script, it stops because it doesn't hear sound. Review Source Scott R. Pastor Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Scott’s review " June 24, 2021 4.0 BIGVU is the best teleprompter app on the market. It’s cost efficient and the quality along with the features are great. Pros I like most about this software that you can use your phone to record and see the teleprompter. It makes it easier to use. Cons The desktop for of uploading your script seems to be lacking. I wish it was easier to upload from your mobile device Review Source GD Geoffrey D. CEO Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great video tool for video creators" December 27, 2022 4.0 Great experience, the prompter and auto captions tools are just great for pro videos for Tiktok, insta, Youtube Shorts, I recommend it Pros One of the standout features of BigVu was the ability to record from a prompter and edit video directly within the platform. This was really convenient and saved me a lot of time compared to using separate software for recording and editing. The video quality was also excellent, and I was able to easily add subtitles and other effects to make the final product look polished and professional.Can also upload directly the video to your social medias Cons A few bugs yet and optimisations that could be done, and a really long time to upload the videos. I think it will get better soon.You still add to upload manually to Tiktok if you want to create a miniature. Review Source TF Tiffiny F. CEO Professional Training & Coaching Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "BigVu is a great way to make videos for YouTube" September 5, 2019 5.0 Overall I love using this app as it is super simple for a YouTuber. Pros I love that BigVu has a teleprompter feature. I like to use this when I have a video and want to make sure I'm hitting all my important points. It's easy to upload my text and I can do everything on my phone. Cons I dislike that I can't find the videos that I have done on the online site when I log into my PC/desktop. I can only save the videos on my phone. This may be an oversight on my part but I did not see where I could save my videos to a cloud so I could see them later on their app on my PC. Review Source MB Marco B. Head of Advertising Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Very good teleprompter" July 12, 2022 5.0 Pros It's really easy to use it! Easy customization! Cons Nothing in particular, value for money is really good Reason for choosing BIGVU Lifetime deal offer! Review Source RF Ray F. Broker Associate Real Estate Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "BIGVU makes your videos look like they were done by a professional!" January 2, 2020 5.0 Pros BIGVU allows me to easily upload my script on my computer and display it on my mobile device. Editing and adjusting the speed of the script to manage my tempo are easy to do. I first tried the trial version and loved it. Try it. Use it. Watch the results! Cons I would like to capture video or screen share from my computer. Review Source GSK Gk Santosh K. Managing Director Education Management Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Best tele-promoter and video sharing and editing app" June 30, 2022 4.0 Pros It’s cost-efficient and the quality along with the features are great. Cons sync between mobile and pc is not perfect Review Source CA Candice A. Broker Associate Real Estate Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Professional and Fun" December 17, 2019 5.0 I really enjoy it. Pros I like that I can control a lot of the content and I can easily stay on track with my content. Cons It is evident that I am not looking straight at the camera. Review Source TR Tanya R. Founder Design Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Good video editing all" January 15, 2025 3.0 Overall pretty good. It does what it says it’ll do and has a lot of useful features but it was just too expensive for me. Pros The teleprompter function was really helpful as it means I can record more content at once without having to worry about remembering all my lines. The video editing was pretty good as well. Cons I found it a bit too expensive for my needs and needed a cheaper option. I’m mainly creating content for my business and can’t really justify the cost for the amount I was using it. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Founder Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Broken, buggy features and unhelpful support" July 30, 2021 2.0 The concept is fantastic. But it's buggy. Some of the bugs can be worked around (Web app doesn't work in Chrome, use another browser, for example.) I have no problem with the workarounds. The frustrating part is they allow you to find the bugs, wasting your time, then tell you about them. "Yes, that's a known bug" is a common response. Why not be open about it and let me know before I waste my time? Why not have a list of known bugs in the documentation? Some of the bugs can't be worked around. I'm trying to create a 15-minute walkthrough video. As the web app's broken and can't record more than 10 minutes, they want me to record two videos and stitch them together. It's a to-camera recording. Stitching it together's not going to work. The support team respond quickly, which is great. But they aren't helpful, which is frustrating. There's no sense of understanding that the software's buggy and that all I want to do is create videos. It's very much a case of "Yes, we know it's buggy, but that's your problem." Pros The ability to record videos with their teleprompter is great. Uploading and editing scripts is easy, as well as sending them to a mobile is dead easy. The support response is fast, and that's great as I'm in close contact with them trying to understand what's working and what isn't. Cons Everything seems to break when trying to record videos. The say to use Chrome, but Chrome currently causes a problem with the camera connection. Does their support documentation tell you this? No. So I wasted time trying to resolve it. It's only after you have a problem they let you know it. My account has the ability to record 59 minute videos. I know because I checked with support before I recorded. Turns out it's a 10 minute limit when using the web app. But does the documentation tell you that? No. Does the web app warn you? No. It allows you to record a long video, then says, "You've exceeded the file size." Did support tell me when I asked how long I could record for? No. After realizing I couldn't upload the file, I asked support if the file is stored locally so I can edit it somewhere else... no response from support so I assume the work's lost. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Aid Worker Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Social media centric tool" October 29, 2022 4.0 Perfect tool for quickly recording, editing and sharing social media videos. Pros BIGVU is a simplified way to record, edit and share videos on social media. The menu tab is very easy to work with 3 options to work with. The Read only option is where I get to try out my script using the teleprompter which makes it easy to record without errors. The Read and record is for recording the video into the BIGVU. It works perfectly with external mics for better quality sound and the videos can be accessed across the phone and computer platform since all records are uploaded and available in the BIGVU cloud. Much of editing can be done on both platforms adequately with no problem. BIGVU is very good for sharing videos across almost all social media platforms such as TikTok, Instagram etc. with their various video dimensions/layout requirements. I have used Adobe premiere Rush for social media video recording and it has been ok. However, BIGVU seems intentionally designed with social media in mind and thus has become my to go for this purpose. Cons It is not cheap and the free version comes with BIGVU watermark for their marketing purposes. If one doesn’t mind it, then it is a versatile tool to consider. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Actuary Financial Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Essential for mobile video" October 4, 2022 5.0 Making professional-looking videos for work and personal purposes requires the right tool. BIGVU is ideal. Pros BIGVU helps you make professional videos, especially from your smartphone. You get all the features you need, including a teleprompter and closed captioning. The newsletter, YouTube videos and livestreams help you learn. Cons If you want 4K video, you need the pricier Pro or Team plans. Review Source DP Deb P. Owner E-Learning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Inexpensive teleprompter solution--can't do without it" June 12, 2023 4.0 When I first got BigVu a few years ago I had a lot of problems with it. It would get stuck, not recognize my mic or camera. It was very frustrating. Customer support was always responsive, but unable to help at the time and couldn't really use it. But that was then. They have clearly resolved the issues. Now I use it all the time and it works like a charm. It's been a game changer for me because I really do rely on my scripts when recording. Pros It enables me to create videos with the support of a script but without making it obvious that I'm relying on the script.I like how easy it is. Very short learning curve. It's very intuitive. Cons It takes a while to for the videos to process before I can download the finished product, but I think that's true of all video processing and not just Bigvu.

July 11, 2021 5.0 is the best app especially for those who make videos for youtube.It’s cost efficient, easy to use and the fact that you can use the write script makes it perfect!!! Pros It´s easy to use, very accessible I put my text and I can read at the same time the video plays Cons we would like to have more editing options. Review Source Marcos G. Production and Content Director Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "It's way more than just a simple teleprompter application" July 3, 2018 5.0 Pros We came across and tried this application looking for tools that would allow teachers to create eLearning videos with ease. Many of them do not have the time to come to a studio or create one at home, and worse, when standing in front of the camera they forget everything they should say. This app allows them to be recorded through your smartphone while reading the script they wrote previously, so they say everything necessary without forgetting anything. But it does not stay there. Once recorded, the App allows you to make certain edits to your video, as well as add other graphic elements and even replace the background, if you used a green screen. Cons It is quite simple and basic. While we do not have negative comments about what there is, we would like to have more editing options as in other online editors. However, they are on the right track. Review Source Kianja J. CEO Accounting Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Never Memorize Your Video Script Again!" November 30, 2020 5.0 Overall, I thought that this was really user friendly. I loved being able to practice my scripts and watch the playback immediately. This is definitely worth using. Pros Bigvu allows you to upload a prepared script from your computer and use your phone or tablet as a teleprompter. I love that you have the ability to use both the computer and the app at the same time. You can instantly see the script as you record your video. I love that the script on the teleprompter will stop moving when you pause. This is not only a teleprompter but a video recorder and editor. You can add a watermark of your logo on your video and trim the video. My favorite part is that you can do multiple takes of your script and choose the best version. This is definitely worth the money. Cons You are limited on how much you can edit your videos using the software. You can add lower thirds on the video that show your name or whatever you decide to write and you can add your logo. I wish there was the capability to add videos into templates where you can add different texts or pictures inside of the video. If I am doing an explainer video, I would like to have step 1 pop up, then step 2, and step 3. This software does not have that capability as of yet. Review Source Ismaël D.
