Microsoft PowerPoint for Negative User Reviews
✓ To be honest...So when you first get this app you are like “Wow this app is so easy to use this is great!!! All you have to do is just make an account and there you go!” However it’s not that simple. The next time you go onto this app, you have to log back into the account??!! I mean where is the sense that in that? All I’m saying is the fact that you guys, the creators, make us log back in and not only that whenever I try to log back in it just denies it at least 5 times, then when it finally accepts my login, it is extremely slow and glitchy no matter how many times I restart the app and restart the Internet I am on it still will not work! And I am telling you, my WiFi is very good! Also it doesn’t work on other WiFi’s either! This is not a good app and I am not very happy with it....Version: 2.34
✓ Good but wish I didn’t run in to so many dead ends60% of the time, it does what I need, but there are some basic functionalities that are just missing and it doesn’t make sense why. You can’t search or replace copy in a presentation. Forget about copying multiple slides from one presentation to another (you have to close your presentation, open the one you need slides from, copy a single slide, close that presentation, open the first again, copy it in, and then repeat that process for every slide you need to copy in! Come on!). Honestly, at some times it feels like Microsoft is just messing with Apple users. “Fine we’ll give you our software for iPads but good luck getting anything done! Should have bought a surface!”.Version: 2.12
✓ Not friendly to useSharing with other people is not straight forward. It’s not convenient at all.Version: 2.72
✓ If I could give it a negative 1000 I wouldIn the past 3 months there has been a forum on the MS website about educators and students having difficulty writing on ppt slides because the app will crash and delete the progress. It has effected me drastically in taking away my study time and trying to find a new way to learn. I write and notate on my ppts and rely strongly for them to study so I can finish nursing school. No one from MS has responded in 2 months. They stopped responding when they couldn’t find out what was wrong and left us with the problem. FIX IT MS. This is a huge let down because it obviously isn’t compatible with the new IOS updates. Do something !!! Help us. Update 9/28: they still haven’t fixed it. They keep recycling old information to follow when the forum already said it doesn’t work. Meaning… they aren’t actually working on a solution. Use OfficeSuite instead. Thank me later..Version: 2.53.1
✓ Update ruined itFor whatever reason, when I updated the app on my iPad, it took away the ability to print multiple slides per page in the format that I have been for the last 4 years of my schooling. I have been exporting the PDF of it once I have it 6 slides per page in portrait mode into good notes to take notes for years. Now the only option is to cram all the slides together on one page with no space in between as if they’re one big photo. It’s horrible for note taking and I hate it. Also, the app is suddenly ridiculously slow to create print previews and open slide shows. This is isn’t an update. It’s a downgrade horrible enough to make me want to delete the app..Version: 2.76
✓ Crashes all the time on iPadPowerPoint for iPad is quite useful when it works. But deleting slides and drawing makes the app crash and the only way to recover is delete the app and reinstall..Version: 2.52
✓ Crash-CityAfter taking a full class’-worth of notes in my O-Chem class on my iPad Pro, it crashed and deleted all of it. I restarted taking them, frantically trying to catch back up while still listening; it did it an additional 2x and it would still not save my work. It did this last semester sometimes, but it has somehow gotten worse because it’s now happening every time I use it. I updated both my iPad as well as the PPTX app. I am going to stop using this app if it’s not fixed, just have to find some other alternative I guess because this is absolutely maddening. Happy to improve my review if it is addressed because it has the potential to be perfect for my needs, but until then, the 1 star is just because 0 was not an option….Version: 2.57
✓ Truly horrible and unusableEvery time I open the app it begins to download a previous presentation. There is no progress bar but after several minutes it’s still downloading. Hit cancel and it still stays downloading. After many more minutes I give up and admit this app is a piece of unusable trash..Version: 2.16.1
✓ No Capability To Insert/Import of PDFI have noticed that PowerPoint seems to restrict the user from inserting or importing a PDF into a slide. It appears that Microsoft doesn't have a way to convert a PDF to a PNG file, which can be inserted into PowerPoint. This would be very helpful for users who have to work with data sets that have been exported to PDF and need to be used in a PowerPoint. It would save time from manually adding/recreating the text and graphics from these documents. Also, if there is a better file conversion (other than PDF to PNG) that would maintain (or increase) the document’s native resolution and clarity yet still allow the user to insert the document and auto-adjust it to the PowerPoint slide’s dimensions. Please share the location of this function as I have not been able to locate it..Version: 2.71
✓ Updates neededPlease improve the UI of saving documents to places other than Microsoft OneDrive. I understand you want to encourage usage, but there needs to be better options for other cloud saving and local saving options that are more immediately accessible. MORE IMPORTANTLY, there is a serious issue when using PowerPoint with a Bluetooth keyboard and my iPad Pro 10.5 inch where the text input lags almost a full two seconds!! This is a PowerPoint only issue, as the text input delay is not present anywhere else in the system, and even not a factor of a demanding program because non-PowerPoint commands, such as multitasking or volume control respond immediately when using PowerPoint. It makes PowerPoint almost unbearable..Version: 2.7
✓ OptionsYou should go look at the canva app get some references from there add more options and stuff like that.Version: 2.81.1
✓ Doesn’t Save WorkAll notes and changes to PowerPoints are erased instantly after saving. Would give zero if I could.Version: 2.17
✓ I cannot workI cannot work on my presentations and nothing is working I am would like it if you would fix it right now all right Do it now!!! 😡👎🏻.Version: 2.23
✓ AWSOME APP!!!!! But..........Power point is a really good app, except it takes 10 years to load (i’m being sarcastic, don’t worry) :/. This app is useful for me at school because my internet doesn’t work properly at school but it does take a really long time to load!! When they say the update regularly, mine hasn’t updated for a year (no jokes this time)!!!! When i first got my ipad power point was an awsome app, it worked perfectly, until now..... i have to say, i’m really disappointed in how many changes this app has!!! For this i’m putting the rates down to, 3!!! I’m really disappointed because power point has worked for me for years and now it’s just.....!!! Shame on you people who created the app!!! I’m really disappointed, i’m sorry to say but yea! 😔.Version: 2.13
✓ How dare u PowerPointI couldn’t upload my beautiful photos so I’m gonna cry now bye bye.Version: 2.81.1
✓ No conversion into PDFWith this new version I cannot convert my document to pdf.Version: 2.79
✓ REALLY!Uhm I know this is mean but come on! I literally just downloaded this app and when I want to type something the keyboard doesn’t come up. I mean I tried everything to fix it I reset my device, I erased the app then downloaded it again, I tried playing around with setting. BUT NOTHING WORKS! PowerPoint please try to fix your app..Version: 2.40
✓ Create / edit / save requires paid subscriptionApp is view only without subscription to Microsoft’s Office 365..Version: 2.25
✓ Arabic Language is BrokenI’m writing this based on my experience using PowerPoint on a Mac, not a mobile device. There is a serious issue with PowerPoint when you try to type in both English and Arabic in the same sentence. It is extremely common in the Middle East for someone to need to add an English word in parenthesis in the middle of an Arabic sentence. However, PowerPoint will jumble up the words and punctuation when you do this. This is a serious issue that affects more than 420 million Arabic speakers in the world. Microsoft needs to address this because PowerPoint is nearly unusable for those who need to create presentations in both English and Arabic. * What’s strange is that Microsoft Word can handle the two languages together better than PowerPoint. Although Word is not perfect either in the area..Version: 2.42
✓ Will fix when issue is resolvedSo I’ve been working on a presentation due tomorrow and I have done about 4 full slides, it was working well other than the fact that everything is cap locked and I can’t change font size either, until suddenly the app became all laggy and now I can’t type or do anything to the PowerPoint, and I still have another 3-4 pages left to do. For now this gets a one star due to the poor reliability of the app, despite its potential. When the lagging stops or is fixed I will increase my rating..Version: 2.23
✓ I guess it’s good...It can be a very good and enjoyable app on a computer but if ur on an iPad, then there is like half the stuff u should be able to do that u can’t do!!! I have an iPad which is what I have the app on, that is why I rate it three stars 🌟. It is sooooooooooooooo much better on a computer, so I would rate it five star if they could make it like that on iPads to!!!! Coming to the positive, it is very good on a computer. U can have super cool backgrounds and have super cool fonts for the writing 👍🏻!! U can get all sorts of cool 😎 and adorable 🥰 photos to put on ur PowerPoint! So If ur looking for this kinda app, then I advise u to get this one..Version: 2.37
✓ Please Update ASAPI have been using the same two 50-75 slide presentations daily for 2 years with minimal issues. Since update 2.16.2 crashes occur half way into every presentation. The crash occurs on different slides every time. When crash occurs I can only describe it as the slide turns into the equivalent of old school UHF TV fuz ...only instead of black and white the pixelation is colored. All slides remain this way until app is closed out. I updated to the latest version of iOS and deleted and reinstalled App and all presentations to no avail. I deeply regret having updates to app download automatically, as past versions worked adequately for my limited needs. If Microsoft cannot play nice with Apple please just pull Apps form the marketplace..Version: 2.16.1
✓ AmazingThe app is amazing but you been to pay $9:99 a month and I am going to delete it because of that it is good of you have a school Microsoft account then it is free for my daughter 👧 it is free because she has a Microsoft account from school but if you don't you need to pay $9:99 a month not a year not every two months but. Every month I am loving this app it has so many things to do so many fonts and colors to use as the typing or the Background but with the background you can put in photos videos and words and much more. LOVE this app.Version: 2.52
✓ What happened with the latest version??My slide show keeps blurring slides and crashing after showing few slides. Up until your recent update, the app has been working perfectly on my iPad Pro (12.7 inch model). With the last update, I cannot use this app because of not only what I described above, but also the app freezes. Typically happens after swiping (with or without slide show) after 10-15 slides into the presentation. I’m running latest iOS 11 on my iPad. However, the app works fine from my iPhone X (running beta iOS 12, beta 8). Can you please fix this issue so I can rate this app 5 stars again? This is with version 2.16.1 (your latest version available). I have full Microsoft yearly membership for editing PPT, XLS, DOC files via the apps. Dear developer: feel free to email me if you need screenshots. I’ve tried this on several different slide decks from iPad. Same results unfortunately..Version: 2.16.1
✓ SlowThis is very veryyyyyyyy sssllllooowwwww!no good at all really..Version: 2.7
✓ CrashesCan’t open anything. App just freezes then crashes..Version: 2.51
✓ WhyyyyyyWhy do schools make you use this app? It sucks, nothing will ever load, and whenever I try to insert a photo, the whole app glitches. I would rate 0 stars if I could.Version: 2.78.2
✓ Not great at allFirst of all, it takes FOREVER to download. Ok, it's downloaded. Then, I have to pay around $300 to use the app. Stupid waste of time if you don't want to waste your money. I've had to resort to using sketchy apps, because this one costs $300. Don't download, only if you have the money. If not, you'll end up wasting precious time, for something you can't even use. Not great at all..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Crashing all the timeI downloaded powerpoint on my ipad to use for some work thinking it would be nice and easy, and have instead despised every time ive used it. It crashes when i open a powerpoint, crashes when i close one, crashes when i save, crashes when i upload images, crashes when i move images, crashes when i delete images, crashes every time i use it. It has just deleted about 10 of my slides which i had spent a very long time on and when i try to. Open older save files it crashes, and when i try and press the undo button to find out what happens, it crashes. I didnt know i downloaded a bethesda game i thought i was getting powerpoint.Version: 2.79
✓ CrashingMy issues started about a week ago with what I bet is the newest iOS update. But from a forum post I found fromJune 2021, many other have been having this issue for much longer with little to no response from Microsoft. I’ve submitted three tickets (one of which, the employee had me on hold for over 2 hours, with no check-ins to tell me how anything is going) and done the suggested basic troubleshooting on the forum post, with no improvement. I cannot get PPT to stay open for more than 10 seconds on my school iPad to be able to do literally anything on it. My school also isn’t able to do anything with it because it’s a Microsoft app. So I’m stuck here and not even able to view or take notes for any of my classes because no one is responding..Version: 2.53.1
✓ ConfusingI couldn’t find the audio record button on my iPad that was available on my classmates laptops. The closest things to it were purchased music or rehearsing it, as if I was going to say it aloud to an audience as I presented my PPt, instead of recording my voice so that I could present it in front of the class and not have to say much (if at all). I would love for PowerPoint to make the audio recording button easier to find on iPad, if it is there at all already..Version: 2.78.2
✓ PowerPoint now constantly crashes on iPad ProFor almost 3 years, I have been a heavy user of PowerPoint on my iPad Pro - most particularly, using the Apple Pencil to annotate my slides. This has been a pivotal part of my workflow - and major driver of productivity and efficiency. Now, every time I write on more than 3-4 slides, PowerPoint crashes. A thread about this was launched on Microsoft’s Community page on June 19th, and initially a Microsoft representative was actively engaging with the many people who shared this same issue. However, it has been more than 2 months since any attempt at response/solution has been offered. This is clearly a major issue for a lot of people - and it needs to be fixed!.Version: 2.52
✓ Power point😫😩😫😩😩😩😩😩😩😩.Version: 2.23
✓ Morons working in customer serviceI have problems using PowerPoint. I’m unable to copy paste. I tried to contact services and they’re hopeless. First they keep transferring me In different departments. Finally someone told me that he’ll help me but phone disconnected and no one calls me back. I gave them My number in case line drops. Can you believe same thing happened again. After doing all that call drops and no one called me back. It’s really hard to understand their accent. Then i tried chat option. They’re more hopeless. They send me case id and left the chat. Finally I canceled my subscription and trying new options now..Version: 2.36.1
✓ Not nearly the functionality as it should have on iPad!!I’m really disappointed by this app. First of all I have trouble working with large ppts that I’ve saved to Dropbox. I often get a notice that I “no longer have access to the file” and have to save a copy...which then doesn’t open. So sometimes I’m just screwed. This is frustrating. Further, there is no timing or recording option in the “view slide show” tab. You can’t select multiple objects at once, the lasso select tool doesn’t work for me, and it’s very hard to move around on the slide. Maybe I’m just not used to it, but it doesn’t have nearly the level of functionality as the full version on a Mac. So frustrating because I would love to edit, save, and practice my presentations on the go. This is a major reason why I bought an iPad..Version: 2.7
✓ NoStop asking me to write reviews, please.Version: 2.81.1
✓ Average but better than most MS mediocrityI never expect much from Microsoft, after 30 years of suffering with buggy, poor performing products but this is a bit better than most. I still prefer Keynote for major presentations (especially video and media intensive presentations), but some people are still stuck with Windows OS and I usually save to PPT for them. PPT on iPhone is ok and if not for MS being so obsessed with login minutiae (a less than 50% chance of getting past logging in challenges that plagues MS apps), I would rate higher. Not as bug-free as Apple software, but a little better than typical MS software that is unsupported and buggy..Version: 2.53.1
✓ GarbageYou can’t insert gifs, name a shared file, use the remove background feature, change the length and directions of most animations/transitions, flip images around vertically and stop random crashes which lose your progress, just to name a few. I would think a very wealthy company would at least be able to make a good app, but I stand corrected..Version: 2.67.1
✓ Another Numbingly Lame App by MSI have to use office 365 at work and was told oneDrive was great to use since I could edit my files on personal devices while out of the office. Well I’m on vacation and need to send out a report. Got onto onedrive - clugey file structure but worked. I opened the file in ppt to make a few small changes and ... impossible. The app won’t let me make a simple edit to an html text on a page. When I exit it saves my mistakes without asking, so now I’ve screwed up my file. I can’t make a SIMPLE change to my ppt to get my report out. I’ll stick with vpn and a full sized computer or convert the entire thing to IOS files and edit with apple’s stuff next time. Another waste of time trying to get MS software to work..Version: 2.17
✓ Missing key featuresUse Office365 version of PowerPoint for work and study but have an iPad as my home computer - so certainly notice the missing features across the MS products for IOS, particularly SmartArt, which is pretty essential for any presentation or project work. So means have to use the online version to get these features then open in the app to do the rest - just frustrating back and forth..Version: 2.24
✓ Does not work well on mobile at allI don’t know whether or not it’s just me, but it is terrible to use on a phone. Editing text is a pain, because if you try to change the font or colour at all, the keyboard will disappear and you will not be able to edit it unless you close the app and open it again. Maybe there’s a solution I don’t know about or it’s a problem on my end rather than the app’s, either way, wouldn’t recommend. Just use a computer for Powerpoint instead..Version: 2.78.2
✓ Unsupported file locationI use PowerPoint on my iPad to annotate lectures, that’s all well and good until you try to reopen the lecture slides at a later date to consolidate your notes. It says “unsupported file location”, meaning I cannot open my lecture slides that are annotated. It’s a good job I noticed now and not another 6 weeks down the line. This is really frustrating for me, and has lowered my rating to 1 star, otherwise the app is great, but being unable to open a file means it’s not fit for purpose. Additionally, I’m left handed, and there does not seem to be palm rejection on the left side of the screen as there is with the right, I was skipping back every time I laid my hand on the screen..Version: 2.42
✓ DOESNT WORKI have a presentation due tomorrow i went through the hassle of making a profile and everything! And i still cant even TYPE! So annoying!! I see other reviews having the same problem 2 years ago so obviously the problem has yet to be solved😡.Version: 2.45
✓ Keeps crashingStop being an useless app!!.Version: 2.52
✓ My picture won’t loadMy picture won’t load.Version: 2.80.1
✓ Good but confusing.This app is good on a daily basis, but there are many technical problems like random screen freezings or app-crashes ,or maybe even auto word deletings ,but apart from that very good app they save your storage very well and is very trustworthy . P.S I do not mean any of this to offend Microsoft,I subscribe to Microsoft and I’m 11 ,and my school uses office 365 and Microsoft teams and it requires many other Microsoft apps to work peacefully, but what I’m trying to say is that It is not hard for me to use it because I use it quite a lot, but many others might have not..Version: 2.45
✓ Crashes constantlyPerfect. Started crashing constantly on the first day of moving to online instruction. Thanks Microsoft for turning my tablet into a paperweight..Version: 2.49
✓ This app has a major flaw and requires a fix as soon as possible.It is a terrible app currently due to some serious flaws, otherwise it would be a decent app, acting like an alternative to my desktop powerpoint app. However, I can never use it seriously since I am unable to delete, copy or cut an object like a text box, an image or a table by simply holding the item. The right click action on this app is entirely missing unless I borrow an apple trackpad or the magic keyboard for iPad to get the right click action working. Unlike other apps, I cannot simply use my hand, apple pencil or my mouse to right click an object to cut, copy or delete. Please fix this issue since I don’t have my trackpad or magic keyboard with me for quite a large amount of time. I hope that the haptic touch would be removed too since it doesn’t let me move my items to my desired location. It is decent on some circumstances but this flaw keeps it from even being an ok app. This app is not recommended for anyone who doesn’t use an apple multi-touch trackpad until this problem is fixed. If this problem is fixed, the app would be quite decent..Version: 2.46
✓ Not really goodI used this for my school due to make a booklet but I’m quite disappointed because when I saw it I was like “wow this is amazing” but when I downloaded it it asked me to make an account but I couldn’t cause I don’t have a computer so I skipped it then I gone into a file and it doesn’t let me type?! Then a few hours later I did it again and it showed my keyboard but it wouldn’t allow me to type it so I used a different app instead...I’m quite disappointed and upset cause this look so cool If your reading this thank you bye.Version: 2.47
✓ Kinda coolBut not cool.Version: 2.22
✓ Corrupted FileI had a very important presentation to make and at the last minute there was an issue saving it and it got severely corrupted apparently. It hasn't opened since. This is such a shame and now I understand why Microsoft and Apple are so reluctant to fuse together for projects such as this. It's a complete disaster; an utter failure of the highest regard. One would expect more of not one, but two multi-billion dollar companies, allegedly attempting to (re)design a program which has already been on the market for over a decade. Seriously, it is as if a novice, trainee student from a back-alley detention center in Detroit was hired to design this app for a net sum of thirty cents. A disgrace. Additionally, some of the formats for inserted pictures actually reduce the quality of the photos themselves. This is also a problem with the PC version. I'm glad to be able to witness the headway Microsoft has made towards addressing these deficiencies. Or, perhaps lack thereof..Version: 2.15
✓ ErrorI can not write on it..Version: 2.78.2
✓ Several issues, please fixTwo very annoying issues, please look into this. All of the Microsoft apps have the same problem. 1- They add random lines across the document when you’re using “draw” mode (Apple Pencil) to take notes just from the heat of the pencil, this happens when my pencil is not even touching the document but placed above it right before I draw the next letter or word. (This occurs when I have “draw with touch” turned off) 2- then size of the “pen” changes randomly for no reason. Making some words or full sentences bold and then goes back to the normal pencil size. Specific to PowerPoint: when I am writing notes using Apple Pencil on top of the notes/slides that I downloaded for school, it constantly selects the text boxes and moves them around at the slightest touch. I want to be able to just take notes on top of slides. I don’t like doing so in presenter mode because you can’t change the size of the font and everything comes out as extremely bold handwriting. There’s also not undo button in presenter mode. Please fix these issues.Version: 2.45
✓ CrashingConstantly crashing after recent update. Can’t open anything :(.Version: 2.52
✓ NahhCould not use I tapped every button and it wouldn’t let me type.Version: 2.12
✓ Clunky, convoluted and confusingPowerPoint is one of those software that makes you scream. All controls are all over the place and nothing is really consistent and thought from the user’s perspective. It is a typical Microsoft product loaded with functions that are misplaced and scattered so that the 20% of them you really need are hidden inside the nested controls so that you lose your will to live. The lack of style, accuracy and consistency make this software a true mediocre tool to destroy every good presentation..Version: 2.63.2
✓ Needs to be fixedSo as soon as you get the app and login, it looks pretty good. However, this is not the cause when you make a new presentation. You can’t make any edits whatsoever even though your logged in, it will keep telling you that you need to sign in otherwise you can’t make edits or save it. What’s the point of downloading this app if it’s not going to work? I have seen reviews from 2 years ago and the same problem is still happening. Disappointed..Version: 2.70.1
✓ Does not let me tipeMicrosoft is good and all but it doesn’t let me type I know mostly everything in Microsoft lets you type but I’m an iPad and it doesn’t let me type…… but it is a really good for using as schoolwork doing for anything well notes might be better nights five but but this one does not let me type doesn’t let me use the pencil pen anything And it’s so annoying I go in a new one I go in the title anyone really doesn’t let me type.Version: 2.66
✓ Was great at first, but...It won’t let me delete anything! Sure I can delete slides, but there is no option to delete pictures and text boxes. I furiously tap them for ages and nothing comes up. All I can do is move them around. There isn’t an option to remove them entirely, not in the tabs at the top or even a pop up box saying “delete”. PLEASE FIX THIS!! I was using this for school purposes but if can’t delete anything, then what’s the point? Until this feature is added, I shall remain thoroughly disappointed despite this app being awesome otherwise..Version: 2.33
✓ Not inserting picsNot inserting pictures.Version: 2.78
✓ RubbishI don’t know if I’m just not getting whatever you need to do but it says double tap to write a title but whenever I double click I can’t write because my keyboard never comes up and when I try to put in a writing box (I don’t know if it’s just word or if it’s also on PowerPoint) I can’t find any button to do it and it is so annoying and I feel really sad writing this review as I make PowerPoints all the time on my computer and it works super fine and I have made so many PowerPoints that it feels like 95.5% of all PowerPoints created are mine so please fix this and reply to this when you do as I would love to make PowerPoints on my phone thank you..Version: 2.76
✓ It good but…It’s good app for COMPUTERS and since I only have an iPad this PowerPoint won’t allow me to type ANYTHING . So for example, I’m trying to do my homework task on PowerPoint and I open a brand new slide and it won’t allow me to type. So every time this happens I swipe the app to the sky or turn my iPad fully off. But when I do it, it changes NOTHING so I wouldn’t recommend if your doing this on iPad😤😩🙄.Version: 2.73
✓ Don’t Bother Using Powerpoint on an Ipad. So PoorAs a longstanding and advanced user of MS Powerpoint, I can honestly say that the experience of using this tool on a non Microsoft tablet (like an Ipad, Ipad Pro etc) is nothing short of abysmal. Beyond frustrating to use. Microsoft have stripped out most useful features of the product but still charge a subscription fee to use their Office 365 version of it - I don’t know why - its so bad it should be free. I don’t know who is primarily to blame here - MS or Apple, but if either of them really values CX they’d sort it out..Version: 2.77
✓ EhhPowerpoint is good and useful BUT when moving pictures around on my iPad it doesn’t move them properly and it’s rly annoying me. And it doesn’t have many feature either. So that needs to be fixed. Also it takes forever to load things and my iPads quite new so it’s the app and not my tablet. ALSO the keyboard should come up when I want it too. Like I don’t want it up when touching s text box and it come up. Then when I want the keyboard it doesn’t show and it looks like my hand is having a spaz attack cos I have to keep pressing it. I don’t think powerpoint likes me . Other than that it’s good.Version: 2.19
✓ Please fixThis app crashes whenever I write into the ppts..Version: 2.50
✓ Poor functionalityTakes ages to load, no offline feature and very cumbersome editing capabilities.Version: 2.33
✓ Ridiculous gatekeepingDisplaying my PPT on PowerPoint on my phone would save me from downloading a third-party app, so I naively thought I would open my PPT in PowerPoint instead of saving it to my device. Oh, foolish me. When I went to save the PPT from PowerPoint, after confirming it displayed okay, I was greeted with a prompt informing me that in this app, without a subscription, I cannot save a PPT to my device. So I had to close PowerPoint and open a third-party app that didn’t gatekeep basic functionality like saving a PPT you imported. What is the point of using a Microsoft service when it is going to hassle me for trying to use such basic functionality? What service cost are they incurring by me saving my own PPT onto my own device on my own network that requires me to pay them almost ten dollars a month? Why would I ever choose to pay for this software when it is so petty upfront and when there are so many other options? And what possessed me once again to use any Microsoft software knowing that I have regretted it every single time? I suppose I will never know if the premium subscription features are worth the price tag, since it looks to me like Microsoft is charging the subscription cost of an actual service with actual overhead to unlock basic features that are already in the software I’ve downloaded..Version: 2.78
✓ New update is subparI used to love this app when I’m taking notes on my IPad. However, its slowing me down and annoying me. Here’s why: 1. Whenever I try to type something in the notes section, the slide doesnt resize anymore to fit the screen with the section open. Even if I try to minimize the slide, you can’t move it to the side to keep the whole thing in view. 2. The names of my presentations are disappearing! For example, I’ll have a presentation that I named “Ch. 14 Cardiac Assessment.” Now it’ll only show me “Ch. 14.” I’m getting confused in trying to open the correct presentation! 3. When I try to save my presentation from one drive to another, it’ll save the presentations in both drives instead of just transferring it to another. I don’t know if that bothers anyone else, but it bothers me. PLEASE FIX THIS WITH A NEW UPDATE. OR JUST BRING BACK THE PREVIOUS UPDATE!.Version: 2.6
✓ 🤬 I hate this programI was tasked with writing a newsletter for work. Something where I would have text and nice images in the background. After about an hour and half of trying just to send images to the background, so that you can read the text. I gave up and my wife suggested to use canva. We had the newsletter completed in about 10 minutes. What a waste of time!! 😡🤬 Remember the kiss formula? Keep it short and simple?.Version: 2.74
✓ From poor to worse!I have been using PowerPoint with office365 OneDrive for coursework and have not had the greatest experience, huge lags when I’m typing and for photos to upload as well as to save. Slides consistently take several seconds to minutes to load and after todays update I can’t open the last two versions I had saved on either my iPad or on OneDrive. Even the versions that do open don’t consistently open and come up with an error message and the app has crashed at least twice since the update this afternoon!!! Really unimpressed..Version: 2.12
✓ Paid version needs feature parity with PowerPoint OnlineRight now the iOS version (even paid) is pretty weak at best. While I can review the file and look at it, only the most basic of functionality is carried over. Things like SmartArt are a constant thing I need to edit which is completely unavailable in the iOS version. What’s more, is while it is available in PPT Online, if you have the iOS version installed, trying to launch a PPT from any other program (Teams, OneDrive, even the browser) simply loads the iOS version. In order to do basic editing of even slightly more robust things like SmartArt requires me to constantly uninstall the iOS version, do my edits in the browser, then reinstall the iOS version once complete. Please get at least feature parity with the Online version..Version: 2.23
✓ Keeps crashingEverything works fine for 3 minutes after redownloading then it just keep crashing..Version: 2.50
✓ Difficult to use on iPadThis app is very frustrating to use on an iPad with a full keyboard. Text editing doesn’t respond like you would expect—navigating through text using arrow keys and the Cmd/Option keys, formatting and resizing text and objects, working in the slide interface, adding animations, etc. are all very frustrating to use. There seems to be a full second delay when you click anywhere and I always seem to click multiple times on the same thing just to make it feel responsive. Very different experience from the desktop app and I really hate using this version..Version: 2.79
✓ Hello I’m HaydenWhy can’t you put on vidios? I’m doing a school project and I can’t so 1 hour wasted of precious work time 🙁.Version: 2.6
✓ Not enough in app purchasesIt’s a decent app. I tried using PowerPoint once for my ex wife’s wedding. It was a slide about the stages of early age male balding and focused on how my hairline wasn't bad enough for Lisa to divorce me. She decided to file a restraining order. I really like all the transition options between slides. My favorite is the airplane one because it reminds me of my ex wife’s face. My only critique on the app is that there isn’t a feature to help me deep fake my ex wife into some hentai. Yesterday I used PowerPoint to make a presentation on fruits that look like vaginas and my gay son walked in. I’m thinking about giving him to an orphanage so that Lisa wouldn’t have to worry about him if she started dating me again. Lisa’s neighbor just texted me that my wife’s favorite color is green so I think PowerPoint should make their logo have some green in it..Version: 2.81.1
✓ BadI heard good things about PowerPoint, but let me tell you the truth. It’s terrible. I got one complaint, but the complaint stops me from being able to use the app. My touch keyboard decides to wonder off whenever I need to type something in a presentation! And as I’m sure you can tell, my keyboard is working now because I’m typing this review! If you have any suggestions that are better than the ones on your website, I’d love to hear them. Ps: the ones on the website don’t work in case you couldn’t tell!.Version: 2.73
✓ Don’t ask me for reviewsAm sick of apps interrupting me asking for reviews. One star for doing this behaviour!.Version: 2.63.2
✓ It’s trashIt’s trash.Version: 2.18
✓ Good ideas but it doesn't workWhen I use my dad's computer (I don't know what brand it is) it works great and it's super fun to use and very helpful! But I recently downloaded it on my iPad, but it doesn't give me a keyboard when I double tap to add title like it says, so I can't actually use it. I need it because for school, i use slides but it won't let me use another account for any personal stuff I want to put on a PowerPoint, so I downloaded this one to try and help that, but it has no keyboard and I don't think the buttons at the top work. Please please please help me. Thanks.Version: 2.19
✓ SAVE YOUR $$ IF FOR YOUR IPAD 2021+Firstly, I love Microsoft Window products. I purchased this brand new iPad for my class, and I needed MS Word and MS PowerPoint. I jumped on to make my first PP presentation and I figured it out. With the IPad OS even if you hover over a feature it still doesn’t tell you what it is. So, I have to tap n learn. Thankfully, I have muscle memory using windows based platforms and PP, but that is another discussion. Secondly, I made my presentation, saved it, and went to pull it up later. I saved it in OneDrive and on the IPad. No can do! Neither file would open up for me. I started hunting around the internet and this seems to be a common issue with the iPad and MS PP. Once again, both are the latest versions. So, I will use my old HP and bang out another PP and hope my six year old laptop holds out for another couple of months. Meanwhile, this latest and greatest ipad cannot support this MS platform. I know. Different software, not meant to run on iPad. Well, maybe Apple shouldn’t allow it to run, or maybe MS should fix it to RUN on Apple. I know both of these companies have employees going to work for each other. Save your money if you are thinking about MS PP for your ipad..Version: 2.63
✓ PaidThis is. a good app but to be honest this app should be in the paid section i took my time signing up and then i created a powerpoint and i couldn't edit it. Then the app tells me if i want to edit it i have to pay $137 just to edit it I'm better off using the pc version. If it is paid like this it should be in the paid section and if your not ready to pay $137 then dont waste your internet downloading this application ..Version: 1.0
✓ Save a copySomeone is currently editing this review. To edit this review please save a copy. Yeah, I’m playing with you. But seriously, every time I close a document and then open it later I see the description above, yet with the word ”document“ instead of ”review.“ And often it doesn’t even have to be later, it could be a few minutes after closing it. I’m not going to create five or ten copies of my work all around my files because you guys have a glitch in your save/autosave mechanism. Tell me how I am going to get done my presentations for my college courses!? This is actually important! I know it’s not all about me, but fixing this glitch could help everybody with the same issues and more. Thanks for reading, but I can’t fully thank Microsoft, Apple, whoever is in control of this app, etc. until this is fixed..Version: 2.12
✓ Lack of substanceI find the iPad version of PowerPoint a nuisance more than a helpful app for professionals and students alike. There’s no way to make sub-bullet points, no way to indent any of the text, the option to add a text box is literally at the end of the “insert” bar so it’s annoying whenever I have to add any text box (which is what you have to do the most when you’re creating a PowerPoint), there’s no way to exit from the presentation mode without having to touch the screen and the screen kind of twitches whenever I try to choose a text box to edit the text so I always end up tapping outside the box which means that I’ll have to do it all over again. Also, if your goal was to give the app a “clean and simple” look, you don’t have to literally cripple it to do that..Version: 2.57
✓ BooooIt looks like a monkey bread smells like dog water and very very, very very very boring.Version: 2.77
✓ App is still buggy.I have so many issues with microsoft apps and especially microsoft powerpoint. It is practically impossible to attempt to sign in to another account using this app - it constantly glitches and asks you to sign in again and again. I can’t even access documents because of this issue..Version: 2.49.1
✓ Well?I don’t know how to feel about it .....it’s okay but maybe make the PowerPoint more useful and easy to work on phones and iPads because I get frustrated sometimes when the app crashes..Version: 2.40
✓ I cant do anythingI just downloaded this app and i cant tho a single thing not even write.Version: 2.17
✓ USLESSI can’t even type on my apple iPad that’s the bear minimum of “PowerPoint” i CANT even edit the text boxes and all of that. 1 stars, terrible.Version: 2.72
✓ Download too BIG!I will no longer use Wifi - the artificial limits on download are about to make me delete your LARGE App. I have a case at Apple and of course they blame you and the carrier - the support agent agrees it is “Stupid”. I wonder why it’s okay to stream Gigs of a baseball game or a movie but downloading an app that is Broken is a NO NO. MS NOT that differentiating these days. Same for other MS apps. I like Outlook but LookOUT to be gone too. And since I own the company that buys 365 and Azure gone is a BIG gone. Tick. Tick, tick. I’m you are now aware and I can let other users know all is well in a few days or so, therefore rating will go to a deserved location. As I always say, “ when it doesn’t make sense it is about the Cents. Let’s use some common sense, and worry less about the small cents. Ready set GO! - drdave.Version: 2.16.1
✓ This sucksBro it keeps crashing.Version: 2.81.1
✓ Do not download for ipadI downloaded PowerPoint on my iPad to use for studying and annotating slides in lectures, worked perfectly for about 2 weeks and now PowerPoint crashes every time I open it. It began glitching and crashes within minutes. There is a community thread on Microsoft of several people complaining of the exact same issue for months and Microsoft are yet to remedy or acknowledge the issue. Do not download for use on an iPad..Version: 2.52
✓ The app constantly crashesI’m not really someone who writes reviews, especially when the issue I’m writing about has been written before but honestly the fact that the same issue still hasn’t been resolved is frustrating. Any time I try and use the app on my iPad, it crashes. I have forced closed, deleted and re-downloaded the app, restarted my iPad, factory reset and still nothing, the app still crashes. I understand that things happen and apps wont always work the way you need them to but this is super ridiculous. I downloaded PowerPoint so that it would be easier for me to take notes during class but it may be better for me to hand write my notes given the fact that I can’t even get the app open when I need it. I don’t care for a glitter pencil especially when the app is constantly freezing and crashing when I need it. Please resolve the problems the users actually care about so that we can properly use the app. Thank you in advance..Version: 2.53.1
✓ On peut même pas écrire sans abonnementSérieusement c'est quoi l'idée de faire un app pour ne pas pouvoir l'utiliser sans payer. J'ai rien d'autre à ajouter..Version: 2.78.2
✓ Good and essential but very laggyI own an iPhone SE and when I found out PowerPoint was available, I immediately downloaded it. At first it was running smooth, no flaws whatsoever but when I was digging deeper into my presentation, every time I typed something, it became laggy. It started to affect the speed I do my work on it and I soon became impatient. I still own the app but I’ll appreciate if soon you can find a solution to why it’s super laggy when I’m typing. Besides from that, it’s an essential app worth downloading..Version: 2.29
✓ Recover deleted filesOr make it more difficult to delete! Otherwise great..Version: 2.13
✓ New update is not an improvementThe new update is a huge down grade. You now get glittery pens - but functionality has been lost. I used to be able to shrink the size of the powerpoint slides and type in the note section along side - which was carried throughout the powerpoint file. Now every time I switch a slide, it is MAXIMIZED to the largest size possible - and I have to re-shrink it down again and again. Even worse, the slide can no longer be moved to the side to accommodate the note space so that you can view the slide and notes fully and simultaneously side-by-side. Not only that, but every time I minimize the application to jump on safari powerpoint restarts completely, and I lose my place in the slides. These complaints may not seem like a huge deal, but for someone who is in PA school and sits through 6 hour lectures, these are huge disappointments and annoyances. I’ve used powerpoint since I began college 6 years ago, but I will be using another app if these problems aren’t fixed soon..Version: 2.6
✓ You cannot paste anything anymoreHow come, whenever I try to paste something, it just duplicates the slide? Please fix this..Version: 2.48
✓ Great concept but unreliableWas very excited initially about the potential of using PowerPoint on my iPad. I do lots of presentations and it’s not always convenient to use a laptop. So I was hoping this would be the ideal solution. Unfortunately, it’s not very stable. I have attempted to use it about 20 times on my iPad and almost every presentation I’ve done it randomly closes on its own. In addition there are many times I work on the presentation on my desktop and those changes do not always populate on my iPad through the use of Dropbox. I thought initially maybe it was dropbox but none of the other the information that I’ve access that way has been an issue. Hopefully they will work these bugs out..Version: 2.16.1
✓ Issues with saving to iPad in most recent updateThere’s a bug with the new update. When trying to save items to my iPad, I have to save the item, close out the app as the app freezes, re-open the app, save the item again in which the option to replace the item comes up since it’s already been saved as a zero kb empty item, and when I replace it this seems to bypass the glitch. It’s been like this for weeks. Figured it would have been fixed by now. I didn’t have this issue prior to this update. Not the end of the world, but very annoying for a grad student who has new PowerPoint lectures to save each day..Version: 2.25
✓ It does not update....So frustrating.Version: 2.45
✓ Good idea but...This app is a very good way to present your ideas on a presentation but, it has controls that can get a little bit irritating. An example of this is when you are trying to put in a background behind your table, when you try to move your table into place, you just end up moving the background colour. So to anyone who would like to make these presentations, use the computer version, which is much better, rather than using the improper iOS version..Version: 2.15
✓ Not the bestPower point may be awesome to others but for me it did nit work I don’t recommend it but do what you want when I downloaded it I could write and I deleted it and then downloaded it again but it still did not work and this time it kicked me out every single time I went in so I don’t recommend it but you can download it if you want.Version: 2.79
✓ ConvenientIt’s convenient to make changes when you’re not around the home computer, though there do seem to be a few features missing. e.g. On the desktop version i am able to add audio files to the slides, but on mobile, there’s no such option. Fix these little things, and it’d even could be great..Version: 2.42
✓ Mostly good, room for improvementThis app is mostly good, but I have encountered an error when taking notes in presentation mode. Sometimes I the ability to swipe between slides goes away and every stroke I make to attempt to do so just puts ink on the slide. It often takes many attempts to get the functionality bar to drop down from the top so that I can exit and re-enter presentation mode, which then usually fixes the problem for a time. In general, I think Microsoft could improve the functionality of the PowerPoint app to include the features of OneNote within a ppt presentation format and do away with one note altogether, thus eliminating the need to export ppts into one note..Version: 2.18
✓ Needs equation editorYou can’t make scientific presentations on the iPad without an equation editor.Version: 2.15
✓ Annoying activationI love using PowerPoint on my iPad Pro to create presentations. It's easy to create presentations and share them.... my only gripe (as with all the MS office products) is that I constantly have to activate them. I don't always have internet access on my iPad Pro and when I try to use these applications I cannot edit without using my mobile hotspot or finding a wifi connection to activate. This is probably a downfall related to the subscription based model Microsoft now uses..Version: 1.28
✓ Oh dear!It's worth 1 star for the fact that Microsoft managed to spell PowerPoint correctly, but apart from that, just about everything else is wrong. This is a very pale shadow of the PowerPoint that runs on the desktop, so much so that I would argue that it is perhaps good enough to show PowerPoint decks, but not good enough to create them. So, it is in essence a PowerPoint viewer. I can make it crash every time just by trying to do a drag-select, so it's clear that Microsoft has done little to no testing. Weak / non-existent alignment options, crashing, bugs with selection, bugs with z-ordering, bugs with - well - just about everything. Perhaps the Office team need to reflect on shipping the output of their "bring a child to work day", and actually employ some QA staff, and some professional developers, on their major office suite for the iPad. A very, very poor effort..Version: 2.48
✓ Needs an update for a few thingsThis is a great app and all but a few features need to be changed and added. I think that a feature could be that there is a shared working opportunity so that two or more people can be working on one PowerPoint. This will allow u to see what the other person is doing but live, instead of having to go back and forth and singing in and out of the app. I think this app would rlly benefit from this idea because it will allow high school students such as myself to work with someone on their PowerPoint live and allow us to benefit from another persons ideas. I also believe that the design ideas should be made easier to reach/use because I’m constantly having to get rid of text boxes that I myself have added in in order to get help from the design ideas function. I hope this comment is read and thought about. Thank you!.Version: 2.40
✓ Missing basic functions, hard to navigateThe app has most of the formatting functions you’d expect, but what good are they if you cannot do basic editing? - To cut or copy text, you have to use a search function and type in “cut” or “copy.” But once you have text in the buffer, there’s no Paste function, not even using the search! Unlike most apps, press-and-hold only brings up a magnifying glass. - The auto zoom function has two degrees: whole page, where you cannot edit text, and zoomed in, where you can edit text but can only can see the left half or right half of the page. If the cursor is at one end of a line and you want to move the cursor to the other end of a line, you have to Zoom out and then zoom back in. - You’ll get tired of the above flaws very quickly. So I added a text editor app to create the text and then copy it into PowerPoint. Then I tore my hair out for hours, looking for a way to paste the text into PowerPoint for final formatting. If the vital cut, copy, and paste functions exist, they’re hidden better than Jimmy Hoffa’s body. - My advice: find another app unless the text in your slides is extremely simple..Version: 2.39
✓ Crashing and missing featuresCrashing since the latest update- never works; either crashes or continuously updates for all of eternity. However good, but missing crucial features from the computer version which is inconvenient as iPad is preferable..Version: 1.14
✓ 2 StarsThe animations are very limited and you cannot control the duration and the sequence of when they go. Whenever I try to move an object it switches to a different slide. The maximum zoom is not enough. It is hard to select the object I want to and when there is multiple text boxes layered on top of each other it is hard to type in the one I want. Overall is an alright app but the animations should be improved..Version: 1.15
✓ Useless on AppleUnless you paid for the subscription there is no point having PowerPoint ( actually the office suite) on an Ipad. The free version is a best a teaser at worst really annoying.Version: 2.24
✓ SeriouslyThis app has not been saving my projects even if I make it,this is really aggravating.😠.Version: 2.13
✓ Keeps crashingIt keeps crashing every time I try to open a document, I even tried rebooting my iPad and deleting then reinstalling the app but it does nothing.Version: 2.49
✓ What’s the Reason???Had a PowerPoint presentation project due today. All I had to do was record my audio speaking over the slides, but guess what? This app doesn’t let you record audio in it on the iPad, you have to attach it…. But guess what again? The PowerPoint app only lets you select recorded audio from your APPLE MUSIC LIBRARY, which is impossible because apple library, since it doesn’t allow external audio (recorded audio)….. so how can one included audio on their PowerPoint presentation on an IPad? You can’t… After hours of trying to figure it out … but guess what again? the app contains a “rehearse with coach” option, which listen to you speak/present your project, but it doesn’t save any audio….. if it can have the “rehearse” option then why isn’t there any option to record and save audio in the PowerPoint app? What’s the reason? 🤔🙄😒.Version: 2.79
✓ Needs better optimisation.It’s not bad but it needs a lot of work. For starters sometimes the whole thing will glitch out. Secondly half of the time my slides will disappear but come back naturally. This is not bad for presentations but if your using an apple tablet like me just use keynote. Much better quality. Microsoft have to step up heir game when it comes to optimising their apps for mobile devices because their desktop one is leagues ahead..Version: 2.77
✓ A bit quirky with Dropbox, buggy PDF exportI use PowerPoint primarily to convert my professors’ PowerPoint lectures into PDF and it used to work adequately for that. It often took multiple tries because for some reason the app would just not be able to upload the exported file to Dropbox and would not give any warnings that it failed, instead leaving a zero-byte PDF in Dropbox. When it did work, the PDFs were the same as what the Windows desktop version produced. In the most recent update, however, exported PDFs have a box drawn in the upper-left corner of every single slide that is not in the original file. The desktop version doesn’t do this and neither does Apple’s Keynote iOS app. This breaks my only real use for this app..Version: 2.5
✓ Glaring flawI use PowerPoint on my PC and iPad, with the files I edit sitting in my iCloud Drive. I rehearsed an early draft of my presentation on my iPad then spent several days working on my presentation on my PC. I then opened up PowerPoint on my iPad and it overwrote the version of my presentation saved by my PC to iCloud, without warning, with the old version I’d opened days before on my iPad. I lost several days of work due to the bizarre auto save feature. If I’d waited to put the presentation on my iPad until the morning of my presentation I would have nothing to show after it overwrote the most recent version. Why PowerPoint would auto save when there’s a more recent time stamp on the system file is beyond me. This is a fatal flaw that makes this program one star to me. Otherwise it’s a great app, but I could have lost my job due to the overwrite so its hard to recommend this app to anyone working on presentations that matter..Version: 2.19
✓ One of the singular MOST mediocre apps ever madeMicrosoft needs to pull their fingers in on the next apps made. This app has bugs and glitches galore, not to mention that not all functions are carried over from the PC version. Specifically, their Multi-Screen functionality needs a massive overhaul. When I attempt to move between slides, PowerPoint pulls me out of the viewer mode because it received the input as me attempting to move one of the items on the slide. Get this fixed, because it’s embarrassing, sloppy workmanship..Version: 2.43
✓ Definitely a downgradeI love Microsoft Office, I truly do. When I purchased this app I thought it would have the same features I get when I am using a PC. I was mistaken. I am limited to how I can edit, and even when I download templates from the actual site since I have a subscription, there are so many hurdles, you can’t directly paste into what has been formatted, you have a limited amount of edits that can be done to a picture, just very basic features that are not in this app. This app is disappointing. SOLUTIONS MICROSOFT PPT! 1. Ensure editing features that are widely used on PPT on a PC or MAC can be accessible in this app. This includes but is not limited to: Copying and Pasting buttons, Format buttons, allowing pictures to be pasted into shapes, if you have a template available for those who have a subscription TEST THE BLOODY THING OUT ON AN IPAD AND SEE IF ITS EASY TO USE AND FORMAT FOR GOODNESS SAKE, don’t just provide a design idea for when a picture is inserted this should be a feature for the entire slide, DELETE MEANS DELETE (I can’t tell you how many glitches I have had with this app)..Version: 2.49.1
✓ Not badI’ve used this app multiple times and once you figure out all the neat features it has it’s amazing for assignments. Although you can’t add videos which does frustrate me, you can add links into your presentations which does help :D 🌸.Version: 2.77
✓ Does not respect trimmed audio settings from desktop versionPowerPoint mobile on iPad doesn’t work with trimmed audio at all. It would be great if it could be updated so audio timings are respected. There should also be an option to change the timings for each slide in the interface..Version: 2.51
✓ Nothing like the productivity expectedI’m an expert PowerPoint and Office 365 user. Used intensively for years. I’m not talking about making fancy animated stuff - I make simple, solid, content and communication rich slides. I recently tried moving from windows and mac to IPad Pro as my main productivity platform. Simply not ready yet. Very slim ppt functionality and slide + content management. Slow and little flexibility. All the adverts and reviewers who claim that iPad. Is a laptop replacement must be smoking something. It’s not yet...not nearly... unfortunately!.Version: 2.37
✓ Super glitchy and slow - limited featuresReally frustrates me that my Microsoft subscription price has not reduced but now because I’m using it on iPad instead of MacBook about 50% of the features are gone. Good luck trying to do anything advanced with formatting or animations. Also annoying that the pencil always reverts to draw, so you’re drawing all over the presentation rather than selecting things like a mouse. Then, once your presentation gets long enough it becomes super glitchy; the draw function gets locked on, you can’t select things or move them, now my iPad keyboard has stopped responding in PowerPoint (although works fine in other applications) and I have to use the on-screen keyboard. So ridiculous..Version: 2.24
✓ Functionality is severely reduced on iPadIn essence, PowerPoint is useful. However, on the iPad it has a considerably limited amount of functionality. For instance, selecting multiple items is impossible, unless you wish to select ALL items, making grouping and synchronisation of animations tedious or impossible. Another thing I find really irritating with the app is that it continuously has to do a complete refresh/restart once I leave the app to go into another app. This makes creating a PowerPoint especially tedious, since you have to wait for it to reload every single time, as well as for Word to reload, if you need to check your script..Version: 2.22
✓ So close but so farThis is almost perfect. For my job I need to make a lot of presentations with different formatting and different styles. PowerPoint for iPad has almost everything that the desktop versions have, albeit in a bit more of a convoluted way. However there is no way to change the colour styles of themes. What you see is what you get which is ludicrously frustrating. When you find the right theme you then have to save it to open on a PC to then change the colours. Such a simple feature has been missing for years and ruins it..Version: 2.77
✓ Can’t even use itRecently bought a brand new iPad Air and Apple Pencil for the sole purpose of using it for school (I am a nursing student). I cannot even use this app, because whenever I open it so I can write notes onto the slides during class, it crashes. Sometimes I can’t even get as far as the app completely launching before it crashes. I have the same issue when I try to save any notes I have taken that way they aren’t totally gone, crashes before it will even save/send. I’ve done all the troubleshooting I can that I have found suggested by Microsoft and none of it solved the problem. Based off of what I’m reading, this has been an issue for several months and has gone unanswered and unresolved by Microsoft. I am just very disappointed and frustrated that I spent so much money not even two weeks ago on this iPad and Apple Pencil and cannot use it for the main reason it was purchased due to the bugs in this app. Please fix this!!.Version: 2.53.1
✓ Videos keep shuffling towards the right when playedWhen i play my videos in presentation/editing mode, the clip ALWAYS shuffles towards the right, leaving an ugly black strip. this is very annoying when i am practising, since the video always moves. this glitch is not only a problem for me, but also some of my friends and classmates. even if you shuffle the video to the left, the same thing happens. so bothersome, please fix, other than that, ppt on ipad is ok, to improve try to implement some of the computer functions, to make the app more powerful. would appreciate it if this was taken into consideration. thanks in advance..Version: 2.55
✓ Good for tranfering photosThe mobile app is good if you want to transfer photos from your phone to your computer without downloading them onto your computer and if you are really in a rush you can type and adjust presentations but just not as good as on pc.Version: 2.78.2
✓ CrashingThe app keeps crashing. Need to fix ASAP..Version: 2.51
✓ Features missingI had to install on my. Mac as couldn’t get full functionality on my iPad..Version: 2.23
✓ So I need to pay to use the app?I’m just gonna use google slides..Version: 2.43
✓ Not as good as I was expecting......please feedbackAs you all know we need this for school someday so I downloaded this app. Firstly my impression was,”Wow this is just like we use in school! It’s awesome...!” But straight after that it’s....”Oh forget it....it’s just a piece of trash that goes down a bin.” Cause whenever I start I need to make an account,right? So I did so. Following from that.....when I again entered the server...it asked me to either sign in or make a new account. Seriously ? This is not helpful! I already DID sign in and DID make an account.....it’s just a waste of time,thx a lot....creator. 3 stars is enough for your ‘hard work’. 🙃 Thx a lot.....A user who will quit if no action is taken.🙃.Version: 2.34
✓ Useful on computer or laptopI have an iPad that I use with power point and because of that I won’t let me type, I’m not sure if it’s just laggy or it’s because I’m using an ipad😕but I would recommend this to people with laptops or computers 💻 just maybe don’t get it if you are on an iPad but maybe don’t trust me I have only had it for a day if you are on iPad try and see if it will let you type maybe it’s just laggy for me but I would recommend this to someone with a laptop or computer it is very useful..Version: 2.34
