Scroll 'n Roll - Text Marquee - App Review

You know those displays that scroll at the bottom of your television screen during news programmes, or on public transport, or in shop windows... well here you can use your iOS device to generate a similar effect.

Now for the ACIDS test:

Aesthetics
The interface is very straight forward.

Enter the following information, in any order that suits you:

1. The text that you want to scroll

2. Choose a font from the 10 available

3. Choose the speed at which you want the scrolling to operate, from a leisurely right to left display to demonic speed.

4. Choose the text colour from the 7 options

5. Choose the background colour from the 7 options (obviously these latter two options cannot be the same, and the App even takes care to remind you of the fact)

6. Press Scroll

It really is as simple as that. You can also post to Facebook or Tweet your message directly from the App with a simple copy and paste.

Cost
The App is free. The only advertising is that the default Tweet or Facebook post is promotion for the App... but as stated earlier, you can also publish your own post, and for a free App, there are no complaints.

Indispensability
If you want to brighten up your shop display and have a spare iPad why not use it? You might also have a message scrolling across to keep you focused/motivated... although you won’t be using your iOS device at the same time.

Dependability
The App is simple and works every time, just like all Apps should.

Security
The App is self-contained so there are no issues. Just be careful if you enter a message while messing around that you do not then post it accidentally on a social network. The default promotional message could well save YOUR blushes here.
