Read the decks people share with you, and run the room from your phone. cue is a presentation platform beyond slides: decks are real, animated designs rather than boxes of bullet points, and they play the same everywhere they are opened. This is the cue app for iPhone and iPad. EVERYTHING SHARED WITH YOU • Your decks and documents in one list, with covers • Full screen playback with the motion and pacing the author built • Swipe, tap the sides, or follow the step dots — portrait or landscape • Multi-language decks switch language as you read • Print-grade documents open in the same reader PRESENT FROM YOUR PHONE • Presenter remote: next and previous, slide counter, next-slide preview, speaker notes • Talk timer, blackout, and an End control that really ends the room • Live captions from your voice, translated for the audience in their own language • Broadcast your camera and microphone to everyone watching • Cast to a nearby screen: scan the screen's QR code and your deck takes over the display • Manage your screens: name them, keep a deck on one, and choose what it shows when idle • Show a join QR so the room can follow along on their own phones, no app required • Step away and step back: a presentation still running is one tap from resuming SHARE AND SEE WHO READ • Send a deck as a public link, a private invite, or an unguessable share link • Change who has access, or rotate the link, whenever you want • See who opened it and how far they read START SOMETHING NEW • On accounts with authoring enabled, begin a deck from a starter template • Or connect your own AI agent and let it write decks straight into your account SIGNING IN • Email code, Google, or Sign in with Apple • Delete your account, and everything in it, from Settings The app is free.
