What do you like best about Keynote?

I like the simplicity of Keynote. If you’re on the go, using your iPhone or iPad it’s easy to use. Yes, you are limited, but can get it done quick or for a touch up on one of the slides. Not too many buttons, which make it an ease for newbies. I like the way it shows you if your item is aligned with with slide. Easily insert images and shapes. Love the cloud! Wherever you are you can continue your work, using an apple device or using a web browser. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Keynote?

The downside is using it on a iPhone or iPad because of its limits. Limited templates. No easy remote capabilities for a slideshow. Being with students, it would be great to walk around instead of having to always go back to the desktop to change the slide. Due to it being Apple, you have to use an Apple device to control it. I work at a lower income school and can’t afford Apple products. I can’t use mine due to constantly touching items students have... eh hem... I’m kind of a germaphobe and won’t use my items that I touch and touch my face. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Keynote solving and how is that benefiting you?

It’s been great for instructing on conferences. Easy to be mirrored on screens. I use it to create posters or screen shots for a website. Visual aid is one of the best ways to capture modern day students. You could say something and some get, but, when you say and show it captures the attention. Because of its simplicity, you don’t have to take too match time making a slide show. Compared to PowerPoint, in which, could be overwhelming for a newbie. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
