Slideshow Remote® App Reviews

Its very helpful but I cant add any text to the notes section... Can someone please do something about that? At least tell me how to do it

The pictures for this program promote its use on an iPhone, so my assumption was that it should also work on an iPod, since the two products can essentially run the same apps. After purchasing the app, and loading up the desktop / laptop app to allow the iPod to advance the PowerPoint slides, I followed the advice from the instructions. Load the PowerPoint presentation, make it full screen, and open the app on the iPod. Immediately, the iPod app found the app on the desktop computer and loaded the same screen view on the iPod. However, the first problem is that the screen view is very small, and cannot be increased. The next problem is that when you try to advance the slide, there is a time lag, and an occassional loss of signal. Apparently, the size of the file is so large on the iPod, it labors to upload the next view and crashes. I dont know if more Gig would help, but as an instructor, I would be hesitant to try it out on an unsuspecting class. I have read that this program works better on an iPad, where the sreen surface is much larger, and the potential memory can be higher. In any event, I am disappointed in the first trial, and probably wont be using it in the classroom.

Could not app to work, even after all instructions on their website and successfully connecting the iPad. Emailed tech support... 2 Fridays ago, still waiting for a reply.

Easy set up on your personal PC. Setup can be challenging on a company issued laptop with firewalls and security etc. slideshow remote tech support has been great and they went far above and beyond to get this app to work for me. This is a must have for anyone who uses PowerPoint! This beats all other programs I have used. Simply amazing to read notes, preview upcoming slides and control your presentation right from your iPad!

Id rather just use RDP. Dissapointing.

This app is good for a lot of reasons, but it is missing some key features. Full screen mode should have a control bar for slide shows. Having to pull down a menu to start and stop annotations, and to advance slides is just stupid. In fact the control bar should be at the bottom or top of non full screen mode. Also this app needs to function on adhoc connections. Right now this app is almost useless, but using your brains to figure out a control bar for sideshows would make this an awesome app. I dare you to try using your own app to draw etc like someone would in a real presentation , youll kick yourselves when you do

Read the device requirements!! It doesnt work with Mac! This needs to be in bold at the top of their advertising page. Who the hell makes an app for iPad and iPhone that doesnt work with Mac?!! I feel ripped off.

Cannot figure out how to set this up using my iPad and Mac. What a rip off, and especially frustrating as it looks great.

The instant I bought this app I hated it. I down loaded my PowerPoint presentation and it never loaded properly. I had 1/2 pages and carryover from one page to the next. Totally unusable. I really wish I could have my money back.

The $4.99 version is definitely superior to the Lite version. Controls the PCs PPT display well, and the annotate, laser pointer are OK. Notes page view is VERY good showing formats and colors as I created hem on the PC. Too many clicks tho to get to annotate and laser, and it took me awhile to get the laser pointer to turn off. Biggest problem was lag and screen refresh of the iPad. The iPad display was OFTEN behind the PC screen and also showed half of the previous slide with the current slide. I never could get the Automatic Connect with the Logic Server on the PC to work resorting to manual connection each time. The iPad was only 3 feet away from the PC running Logic Server. Still a lot of work to go for this to be a GREAT app.

Could not enter code to operate the server on laptop.
