Keynote Reviews

A great alternative to MS PowerPoint or Google Slides

Comments: Overall, we are happy with the features Keynote offeres, especially since it is included for free with all Apple products. Keynote is easy to use, allows us to export files for viewing in PowerPoint, and has solid presentation features.

Pros:

The biggest advantage to Keynote is the fact that it is native to Apple products and is included with them at purchase, something Microsoft does not do with its Office suite by default. The biggest strnght of Keynote is that it is already there and avaiable for use by our team.

Cons:

Keynote lacks some of the deeper features that MS PowerPoint and Google Slides do, including sharing and collaboration tools. While the lack of these is a bit inconvenient, our team still uses Keynote on a pretty regular basis.

Much better design options than PowerPoint

Comments: Overall I love using Keynote. Most of my coworkers have PCs and use PowerPoint. My projects always have that extra bit of flair and I love the amazing built in templates as well as the hundreds of options available in Toolbox for iWork.

Pros:

I love that Keynote has almost all the design features available in Pages. If you have used Pages, it is easy to apply all the beautiful options to your projects. Not only is this software free for Mac users, but it has much better templates and design options than PowerPoint as well.

Cons:

There are a few date migration or integration options that PowerPoint has that Keynote doesn't have, but I in all my years using Keynote I have only had one project that I could accomplish with this software. Recent updates have added more date merge options that I am excited to try when I have a project that needs them. There are occasional design options that don't export well when I have to convert my Keynote presentation to a PowerPoint file, but it is getting better and I have learned which features not to use if I know I will have to create a PowerPoint version to share with coworkers.

Great app for collaboration and presentations

Comments: I have used this app to create presentations and collaborate with other team members for live events. I know it has more functionality and still want to explore.

Pros:

It's a really collaborative and compatible tool for building presentations and delivering live events.

Cons:

It can be a little cumbersome if others are not familiar with this type of product there is a learning curve and it might stifle collaboration.

Keynote: one solution for all your presentations

Comments: However, my total experience as a designer for 10 years is very positive: for all my presentations I always rely on Keynote, because it halves any of my working time and always manages to give me new ideas with all its tools.

Pros:

If you too never know where to start for your slide presentations from today you can worry no more, Keynote takes care of it!Templates, guides, animations: with Keynote anyone can make beautiful and functional presentations, it is a thousand steps ahead of all other presentation programs with its always fresh and cool templates.

Cons:

Unfortunately there are few templates available and the interface is not so intuitive, only by really using the software a lot will you know how to find all the features, otherwise some things are so hidden that you think it doesn't have them.

A lot potential not used fro years. Nevertheless, the best alternative for Powerpoint.

Comments: To design a quick presentation is very easy.

Pros:

It is the easiest tool to learn and design a presentation. The best thing is the possibility to start a keynote on the iPad and to finish it on the Mac.

Cons:

Apple does't manage it to give us a real collaborative tool still. To comment, work together, exchange data and brainstorm together are not there yet in the way, the competition does it. All the tools in Keynote are there, but not used as they could be. Also, the use of custom fonts between iPad and Mac is totally off or not possible.

Simply the best presentation package.

Comments: Keynote has made creating presentations an effortless process. I would not trade it for any other presentation product.

Pros:

I love how easy Keynote is to use. It allows me to focus on my presentation and not on figuring out the software.

Cons:

I always have to save my gorgeous Keynote presentation as a Powerpoint because the venue I am presenting at doesn't support Keynote.

As Easy t

Pros:

I'm a big fan of Keynote. I think it's the easiest application to create beautiful presentations. It has a lot of features that can make my life easier. For example, Keynote allows me to embed videos and photos into my slides. I can even record myself presenting the slide show and then, I can send the link to my clients.

Cons:

Native templates are a bit poor, but you can find awesome ones on the net.

Worth using for presentations

Comments: Overall, happy with its capabilities and I use every other week or so for building content for advertising.

Pros:

ease of onboarding. its almost identical to powerpoint, and you can 'edit mask' which means you can easily remove the background or foreground.

Cons:

some animations you cannot do but yo can in powerpoint, and when you save a presentation it is not simple to shrink the size of the whole file.

Keynote review

Pros:

Extremely useful app to increase organization.

Cons:

Only able to use on our Mac devices. Pretty limiting.

Works well and has a lot of templates

Pros:

A great free solution that rivals Microsoft PowerPoint really well. A great selection of templates to start with too!

Cons:

Not the easiest to navigate as a beginner but it works well once you get used to it.

Keynote Presentations are the Best in the Academe!

Comments: My students love my presentation that’s why I am very pleased with my use of this software.

Pros:

I like how easy it is to import and export files from this software. It makes my job easier especially when we educators work on a lot of our presentations.

Cons:

The exclusivity of the software for Apple ecosystem users would be my least liked feature of Keynote.

Best for Mac users

Comments: Keynote is a great tool for presentations, but not the one I use the most. The only reason for that is the fact that our company usually demands presentation files for Powerpoint or links to Google Slides. Converting files then becomes somewhat of a hassle. Otherwise, it is really easy to set up slides. I use Keynote whenever I can present from my computer.

Pros:

It works seamlessly with any Apple device. Design options are superior to Google Slides or Powerpoint. I can move slides with my Apple watch!

Cons:

I like Keynote, but only use it when I am 100 % certain I would be able to use my computer to present. If that is not the case, I usually do the presentation in Google Slides. I am not too happy with exporting to other formats (due to some minor design changes).

Keynote: The king of presentation software

Comments: I am a Keynote fan knowing that I have not tapped into ½ of its capabilities. It's a workhorse!

Pros:

I love the ease of working from multiple documents and being able to add parts of each of them into my presentation. This software is my favorite. I even like it better than Pages because of the drag and drop capabilities. I even use it to think and process workshops I develop before I build the presentation. It's an awesome tool!

Cons:

Adding video and making it work every time. That some companies don't use it and want to transfer it to PowerPoint - it never is a flawless transfer in either direction.

Easy to use

Pros:

When I got a MacBook I switched from Powerpoint to keynote seamlessly. Very customizable and easy to figure out.

Cons:

The only thing that has been a little tricky is imbedding audio and video. It’s easy enough to do depending on the file types, it’s in ensuring it plays correctly that has been tricky as well as being able to edit it.

Great for slide show presentations

Pros:

Easy to use and lots of templates to help you start your slide show

Cons:

I have not found anything about Keynotes that i dislike

Keynote... and nothing else

Comments: Although Powerpoint has improved a lot over the years, it still hasn't caught up with Keynote.

Pros:

It is the best presentations software out there, period.I've been a Windows user all my life, until I tried Keynote. Yes, Keynote was the main reason why I switched to Mac. It has a fantastic user interface, it is really easy to do almost anything you need to do with a presentation, very clever the way many tools have been designed.The way you work with shapes, how easy it is to apply effects... it makes Keynote a wonderful tool.

Cons:

No cons, perhaps the main one is that it only comes with Mac. But if you do own a Mac, it comes for free, that's the good news!

my favourite tool for creating presentations

Pros:

I use Keynote for all of my work presentations. I've tried PowerPoint but it just never felt intuitive to me. With Keynote, it's so easy to add in multimedia and make changes quickly - which is really important when you're making a presentation. The other thing I like about Keynote is the ability to customize it by adding in your own personal theme.

Cons:

I dont have any negatives to report. Apple has done an amazing job like they always do.

Allows the creation of beautiful materials

Pros:

Keynote allows you to create beautiful materials, with detailed tools that no other presentation software has. I can create presentations that bring engagement because of the design details that Keynote brings.

Cons:

The fact that only those who have a MacBook can use it is a disadvantage when I need to work on shared documents, making it difficult for many people to access. In addition, presentations tend to take up a lot of storage, and it is sometimes necessary to use Keynote through iCloud, with extremely limited resources, making my work difficult.

Clean UI easier to use than Powerpoint but the templates are overly complicated

Pros:

The UI of Keynote is more streamlined than Powerpoint in my view. Its less cluttered and quicker to navigate.

Cons:

Keynote falls down due to a lack of good templates, sure some of them look nice and are very artistic but it would be better if they had more ones using simple fonts and simple colour schemes so that they can be modified more quickly to match my brands fonts, colours and styling.

Best visual presentations software

Comments: KeyNote allows me to have unlimited creativity both on video editing and Graphic Design

Pros:

I thing KeyNote takes the cup mostly on visual side on presentation software: - The user interface is not intimidating it is user friendly and it is easy to navigate and search for tools. - The 3D chart animation makes an impressive presentation. - The animation tools such as building, actions and built out, multiple objects, motion paths, magic move produce an engaging content from 2D motion graphic to customized Gif cards or Gif posts. - The software has amazing preset templates for different type of presentations. - Background image removal tool saves time instead of taking image to professional photo software first.

Cons:

- The keynote is only accessible to Mac users. - The KeyNote limits on exporting file types compared to its competitor's softwares.

Keynote Review

Pros:

One of the things I really like about Keynote is how much you can do with it. There are many options to choose and although it does the same job as Google Slides or PowerPoint, it does the job and does it well.

Cons:

There isn't much to not like about Keynote as it's pretty standard (in my opinion), but if I were to complain about one thing, it would be the video playing within the presentation. It works as expected, but I wish there was an "easier" way of playing it (as in making it more "obvious"), but again, it's a minor complaint.

Keynote is THE TOOL for smart presentations

Comments: I really enjoy this app. I've been able to create formal presentations as well as informal albums for my friends easily, fast and sometimes on the go. I always have all my presentation on the app and can share them with my work team to streamline the job.

Pros:

It is easy to use, you can create neat presentations in no time. It has good data storage to elaborate on your ppts. Can share with many platforms and formats so everyone can have your work and you can create the visual aid that you require

Cons:

It tends to be a bit repetitive when giving format to each slide, so it gets annoying

Keynote is Microsoft powerpoint but with good visual style

Pros:

It is just beautiful, it's like mixing Canva with all its features with Powerpoint. It is created exclusively to make stunning presentations and beautiful and interactive animations.

Cons:

If you have to work with other non-Apple devices, then it's a bit messy and some plots are not shown correclty

Simple and effective!

Pros:

The best part is the simplicity and intuitiveness of the tool for developing beautiful and functional slides. The software is more fluid than power point and google slides in the functions of dragging text boxes and images and seems to be easier to apply than you imagine. The application of animations is fluid and very simple.

Cons:

I haven't found any negative points yet. The interface is very well constructed.

Favorite presentation software of all time

Pros:

Some of the features I like most about Keynote include its customizable templates, built-in media library, ability to add 3D objects and animations, and support for real-time collaboration with other users.

Cons:

Sometime I find Keynote's features and tools overwhelming for basic or simple presentations, and may prefer a more streamlined solution.
