Comments and Reviews
It is the most convenient and joyful presentation software I have ever known. Microsoft Powerpoint or LibreOffice Impress are left behind by far (that might be different in case of Apple Pages and Apple Numbers, though). Fast, simple and elegant. The user interface is convenient and tidy.
Wide range of themes to choose from!
You can't beat it for ease of use and polish. Nothing comes close.
New functions added on all the time. It can create amazing videos with animation if you take the trouble to learn.
Agree with you Andrew. It's a shame most of us have to use Powerpoint at work. If you have an iphone or ipod touch, worth checking out the remote on the app store too. The whole suite has impressed me, to be fair.
Keynote trounces ever other desktop presentation app. Takes five minutes playing with it to discover why.
