Slideshow Remote® Lite App Reviews

See title

Im sorry, but this App is not working on my iPad at all. Have the minimum requirements, but when I open it, its there for a second and then closing...

This may be the most useless, aggravating app I have ever used. This is just a skinned VNC remote that is designed to look for a PowerPoint slide. Because of this, the refresh rate is God-awful. If you dont pay for the premium version, you dont the auto-refresh option. Which means that the app displays one slide prior to what is actually being displayed. If you turn auto-refresh on, it refreshes itself as described, but by doing so it causes your notes to refresh as well, which means every second, your notes will scroll back up to the top of the page. That is terrible when you have to find your place in your notes every time you look down at the remote. And the response time isnt even it worth mentioning. You have to wait at least two seconds between each go because the app needs to update itself from the computer. Meaning you cant fire off a series of animations right after each other which makes point slides impossible. And the final thing that drives me up the wall is during the presentation I used this for, I set it up 15 minutes prior to when I needed to actually present, which apparently is enough time for the app to forget that it is connected, therefore making it useless. The only way to fix this is to kill the presentation, kill the app, and reconnect to the machine again. Not acceptable. I am extremely frustrated with this mis-informed app. I have never been so disappointed in a piece of software. I am demanding a refund.

...I bought it to view presentations offline, but it crashes EVERY TINE I try to open any file! Please, fix the bugs!!! I dont want to delete it!

Wow, I need a remote PP app for a speakers presentation this weekend and after an extensive search I came across this app. Installed it on iPad, installed logic server app on Win7 PC, launched PP entered access code and it just worked! Ill know tomorrow if I want to upgrade to the full version. I love it so far.

Very effective tool for presentations.

This is so cool

At first I am really upset with this app. I cant get my device to connect to logic server or wait for a very long time to let it connect. But now I figure it out why and it work great!! If anyone have the same problem with me, I recommend that you turn off your antivirus. And if it still doesnt work, I suggest to turn personal firewall off.

Works like a sharm im my jurassic Windows xp + iPhone 3GS Thanks a lot Antônio

Horrible kept saying cannot connect to server This is horrible

Cant download the software on a Mac computer... This software is only available for Windows. People with Macs have PowerPoint too!

Yes this app works fine but.... All my problems were strictly with the adhoc. Took me 2 days of brain bruising through the wireless adhoc learning curve. My bonjour wasnt very helpful with auto connect but manual connect works fine every time.

The app might be alright but they provide a free version that is not free. You install it and try to run it and it immediately requires you purchase it. Not very honest.

Worked great for the first couple of times but after that would never connect to server.... awesome graphics man but please fix this problem. it killed my presentation.

its not what i waz looking for and i think thats y i didnt like it i thought it waz dum and worthless to have.And all i did waz swipe the screen and nothing happenend i did try the notes but im sure that wouldnt make a difference and this app is terrible and is lucky i gave them 2 stars not 1 or none, but if u wanna try maybe its what ur looking for but it wasnt for me and i didnt like it://

So youll create a Windows only iOS app. Thats so logical. Dont waste your time with this app, especially if all youre trying to do is get a remote for your .ppt presentations. They require you to have the logic mind server downloaded on your computer, which costs money. This is nothing more than "hook and bait" you into trying to buy more crap that you dont need.

First, a little griping... Yes the logic server is windows only. It would be nice to have both windows and a Mac option. I am hoping the developer is working on that Mac version as I type this. Yes my iPad and windows machine have to be on the same wireless network. I have the IP address wouldnt it be nice if that restriction was gone? Yes it would be, then I could use the computer in the classroom instead of lugging along my own laptop. Now for the review... This app is awesome! I love it. My students like that I can move about the room. The developer got the layout right. I can glance at the screen to know what is on the slide so its position is small. I can glance at the corner to get a feel for the next slide so my lecture transitions smoothly. The best feature is the size of the presenter notes box. It is big enough to actually see and use. Having access to my notes has been a great help particularly the first couple times I give a lecture. The icing on the cake (and is why I bought the app instead of using the free version) is the extended view of upcoming slides that runs down the left side of the screen. As nice as it is to see the next slide, I really like having a quick view of the next 3 or 4 slides after that one. I have just started tinkering with screen annotations. My laptop is the weak link there (and is why Id like to see the same wireless network restriction removed) but it works well when I use other more powerful computers. Overall, if you do serious presentations and rely on your presenter notes, this is a great app...well worth the five bucks I spent on it. The login in mind server that has to be installed on the main computer is FREE!

They dont bother to mention until the very bottom of the app info that it is only usable on a Windows PC and that even then you need some stupid program on your computer in order to make it work. This is a completely ridiculous app! There have to be better ones out there that actually work on multiple platforms!

I dont understand why people hate this app. This is great! The server is free, and it works smoothly. It is so easy to operate so this is great lol

When you open this free app it only leads you to the iTunes Store that wants you to buy the $3.00 app. This app does not do anything
