### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2024-01-07*

Waste of money. It scrambles the text after conversion on simple PDF file.

### 1/5 — App stürzt beim Konvertieren

*2021-11-11*

daher unbrauchbar. Direkt Erstattung bei Apple beantragt.

### 1/5 — Unbrauchbar

*2018-10-25*

Deutsche Umlaute werden nicht übertragen, Formatierung wird nicht übertragen, Ablaufinformationen werden nicht übertragen, Erscheinungsbild der transformierten Präsentation katastrophal: Diese App ist unbrauchbar, also eigentlich 0 Sterne.

### 5/5 — Worked great

*2018-03-29*

I needed to convert a pdf to keynote for remote control functions with an iPhone controlling an iPad connected to a tv. It worked well and the presentation was a hit.

### 1/5 — doesnt work

*2017-05-26*

it leaves out the middle portion of every slide :(
and we cant refund app purchases

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work for beamer PDFs

*2016-01-04*

Tried it out with a fairly basic PDF created with latex.  The keynote presentation that it created from my beamer slides were unusable.  If you google, there’s a free version that runs on macs that converts PDFs in to keynote, and it works flawlessly.  I was hoping I could leave my laptop behind and just use this iOS one, but it isn’t ready for prime time for somebody like me.  

Sad.
