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!
