## What is Portfolio for iPad?

Portfolio offers a self-contained, brandable presentation tool for your business.  Once set up, it will look like a custom app developed exclusively for your business.  Lock the interface with a PIN when you're done and it's safe for any client meeting without the worry of exposing the management interface underneath.

Whether you're a photographer showing photos and videos to a bride-to-be, a wedding venue displaying various table setups, a florist giving the choices of different arrangements, a landscaper showing different layouts, or a web designer describing past designs, Portfolio will give that extra bit of polish and professionalism to your presentation.

• Full or partial library syncing.

### 5/5 — Best photography and video portfolio

*2024-08-08*

This has been my favorite app for years. I use it as my personal photo and video album to share my family photos and videos on my iPad. Love, love, love it!

### 5/5 — Used for about 10 years

*2024-03-03*

I've used this app when projecting and talking about my photography work for probably about 10 years and never had acprobkem with it at all. 
I can't understand the poor reviews here. It's the best way I've found for showing my work and for selecting images to show without people seeing the whole of the thumbnails in a folder while I'm picking the in age I want to show. 
It runs MP4 files with music faultlessly as well. 
A brilliant bit of software which I can't do without and have no idea what I would use without it.

### 1/5 — Basic functionality broken

*2023-01-12, version 5.0.4*

Should have believed the reviews. Won’t download images from Dropbox or from my camera roll, so effectively useless. Would love my money back.

### 3/5 — Doesn’t load images from Dropbox

*2022-05-04, version 5.0.4*

I love this APP, but lately I haven’t been able to load images from Dropbox. Is this an ongoing issue?

### 2/5 — Could be great, but it’s not

*2021-04-23, version 5.0.4*

There is a lot of really nice structure to the way portfolio for iPad is created. Sadly, that doesn’t include the means to load images into portfolios. How an apple app cannot include iCloud is beyond me. The only way I could load images was converting a NAS Drive 2SFTP, which is a very slow transfer. Forget about Lightroom, forget about that USB seaport, this app hasn’t been updated since 2017, and it shows in attempting to use it. If refunds were possible I’d want one.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2021-03-14, version 5.0.4*

It stopped synchronizing with Dropbox, Mac uploaded only works the first time. Emailing the maker only get you ignored.

DO NOT BUY.

APPLE NEEDS TO REMOVE THIS APP FROM THE STORE!!!

### 1/5 — No updates in 2 year

*2020-10-11, version 5.0.4*

This seems to be a dead app, no update in 2 years. No support for files or any new iOS features.

### 1/5 — Developer gone awol

*2020-04-01*

Shame, but the developer has gone awol.....

### 5/5 — Great app with a caveat

*2019-08-09, version 5.0.4*

If you’re a creative director or work 8n advertising this app is a great way to show your work. It is visually sleek and simple. However, this is not an app for building portfolios but rather presenting them. If you’re looking for some to build out decks then you better learn in design or google slides. If you’re looking for an interface to share work with clients in person, then this is it I just wish that it supported gifs as well as well as in situation video ala when showing something comped into a device.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2019-07-03*

It just doesn’t work. It's rubbish. The Portfolio Loader on Mac does not relate to the IOS app so there is no way to add, or upload any portfolio items. Complete waste of time and money. It would get zero stars if I could.
