Q: Apple Keynote in Unusable

Not use I expect an answer to this, but Keynote on iPad is too unreliable to use for real presentations. I've just updated a presentation for an annual teachign commitment. Two years ago, it ran perfectly. Last year, after various upgrades/updates from Appl (Yosemite & Keynote) several slides just "stuck" - very slow change, meaning it was embarassing and unreliable.

 

It is still just as bad. They've had a year to sort this, and they haven't. Don't think they ever intend to.

 

Apple seem to have accepted that all forms of business or professional software will be developed by others. I have to agree.

 

So, ditching Keynote for PowerPoint and all other Apple "business/professional" software for other applications.

 

P.S. Simply exported the keynote file to PowerPoint and it runs fine on PowerPoint for iPad.

 

Yours, slightly sadly,
