Bad Product - No Excuse

Even though this product has been around for years, they STILl haven't corrected SIMPLE bugs. I thought it was just me, but I went to a video production last weekend and the videographer was using PromptSmart. He starts it up and I begin talking.... Does it track my voice? Of course not. He was visibly frustrated, saying maybe it was time to find another app, because it had started failing recently (others here say the same, that it worked fine in the beginning and then stopped voice tracking).
This week, I set it up for a project my wife is working on. Couldn't add more than 250 words (though I could via the PrompSmart website) and wouldn't sync to the script on the website.
Couldn't get the highlighter to show at the top of the window so she could use her computer's camera correctly. Had her looking halfway down the screen (though this feature did work on the iPad, but still, there were problems there, too).
Just a very frustrating, buggy experience!
Also, the UI is WAY too complicated for such a simple task. SMH
