Pointer Remote for PowerPoint and Keynote User Reviews

This program is amazing!

Pointer Remote for PP and Keynote is awesome. I love it. I would like to suggest to include a small version of the slide in the iPhone screen. Also it could have a way of drawing lines in the presentation screen. I recommend this software.

perfect

1 minute to set up and operate. Download the software application to your Mac, leave app open, click app on your iPhone, open your keynote presentation and you're off to the races. Both devices must be operating on the same WiFi network.

Couldn't believe it worked AS ADVERTISED and SO EASY!

Great program. My ONLY requests: #1 - To view the "next" slide instead of the "current" slide on the iPhone. This would be a HUGE benefit. I realize it's easier said than done, but it would be a big plus. #2 - For the slide to be displayed on the phone with all elements "built"/"completed", so that everything appears (all bullets in a list, for example). This would probably help with the way slide transitions seem to throw a monkey wrench in the works sometimes. Nice job though. I look forward to more releases from you.

Works great!!!

Fantastic app. Documentation could be a little more clear (make sure Bonjour is on for example) but works very well. I work in a large lecture hall where the tech booth is far from stage and the apple remote won't reach. This is very cool!

Ps there is great support from zentropy. I was having an issue and they responded to my email within 2 hours!

Wow!

What a fabulous app. It does exactly what it says, is easy to use, and only $1.99! I can't wait to use it in anger for my next keynote presentation.

This app is awesome

I give a ton of presentations, and this app is just plain amazing! It does exactly what I thought it would do - and does it wonderfully. I set up the app and my MBP on a closed network with each other (which may not always be possible if you're giving a live, Internet-based demo) and it worked flawlessly in that environment. Really, truly - a great value at $.99 - like another reviewer wrote, I'd have easily paid $5 or $10. -Gabe

Sweet, works as advertised

Up and running in 3 minutes, and this app works as developer claims. I don't understand at least one of the click features, but perhaps I haven't found the desc. in help.

Website could use some work, with step by step instructions for those who need it.

I can't wait for my presentation on Friday!

Does what it says

Set it up in a minute. Simple and adequate tool.

It looks like it would be good, but....

I have Powerpoint 2002, so I would love it if this could be made to work on 2002. I know that the description says that it only works with 2008 and 2004, but I would love to see it work on 2002 (My computer has 2002, but other computers I have access to do have 2008.....I'm just too poor to upgrade)

Wonderfully Done!

I use Keynote to give presentations while on the road and have always used the iphone for my notes. I have been skeptical with the iPhone slideshow apps, because I give presentations to very influential people. The recent upgrades have made this a rock solid performer. With the free download for the laptop, and only .99 for the iPhone app I am throughly impressed in the reliability, simplicity, and flexibility. Directly connects and displays your notes on the iPhone screen, no extra configuration. For the included 'software' pointer, what a novel idea! If you are a professional traveler that has to present as part of your job requirements, this combo is absolutely the way to go. WELL DONE ZENTROPY!! Keep up the great work!
