What Users Love About the App
“I love using Keynote and do so regularly. It’s great that I can now use special formatting in the presenter notes, such as bold, italics, different colors of text, etc. I do that because these are easy-to-see symbolic reminders of things I need to do during a presentation.”
“I have 3 very different businesses. I have used Keynote for years! It is the most flexible presentation software I have ever found! I have always had to use both Microsoft and Apple platforms. I finally committed to going 100% Apple because of 2 major strengths; Ease of Use and Flexibility”
“Keynote has to be my favorite, most used app. I still have the original Keynote box given away at MacWorld. In addition to presentations, I use it to mock up layouts of various sorts. I can take a photograph of part of the house then add in drawings to illustrate planned changes. The new feature marking objects editable really helps with this.”
“Great presentation software. THANK YOU APPLE for adding support for action builds. This is a really solid presentation app, and I’m really happy to see how far the iOS version of Keynote has gotten since the early days.”
“Great and simple to use! This app was really simple to use and I barley had to have any instructions to know how to use it! Great for making fun little presentations for class, business, and whatever else you would like! I am a big fan of the fun and cool option they have for transitions between slides, it adds a fun little twist to presentations!”
What Users Dislike About the App
“I’m trying to make lectures for my class and the Apple Pencil works well with Keynote. As I present my presentation I add annotations so I can do our math problems. Unfortunately the ‘done’ button is near where my right hand will rest while making annotations. This clears the screen in the middle of the annotations, making me start over. Also, there is no option to keep the annotations once you are done with the presentations.”
“The most infuriating lack of intuitive and helpful users design is a hidden text menu- really, no text menu whatsoever. Makes creating presentations on the iPad using Keynote a real clunker and very time consuming.”
“I’m so used to apple products being so intuitive, yet this version of keynote is the worst. Nothing seems in the correct place. The insert text box is in with the shapes? So, I hunt for a long time before I find it because who would look there. The “more” tab is just everything but the kitchen sink.”
“Huge oversight here by Apple. You cannot see your presenter notes while using Keynote Live unless you’re connnected to an external display. I use my iPad to control a Keynote Live presentation where people are tuning in online via a link to the presentation. Since I’m not connected to an ‘external display’, I cannot see my presentation notes. Ridiculous”
“If you copy something from safari it automatically goes to free form instead of the normal title font. Makes things much harder.”
