The forward and backward arrows used to work to flip slides in presentation mode. Now on iOS 11 with keynote version 3.3, the forward and backward arrows no longer works. This is practically a disaster as all Bluetooth presenters would not work. This feature still works in Microsoft PowerPoint (how ironic!!). Your feedback would be appreciated.
And.... the keyboard also now doesn't allow us to use JKL to RW, pause, or FF a video that is embedded in a slide. PLEASE restore these features!!!! There is no other way to control a video. I like to occasionally pause the video and discuss a thought as it pops in my head. I can segment videos but it takes time. Why would you remove such useful features?
Imagine I tried to explain this in a ticket support over the phone to Apple for over an hour with no go.
Apple I used to know is no longer existing. Too bad I am totally dependent on iCloud and Keynote
Surprisingly, everything works with PowerPoint, so ironic
Same issue here. Is it because Apple wants us to use on-iPad gestures/iPhone/watch to control? Apple, please at least restore the Smart Keyboard to full functionality. My Logitech Spotlight remote used to work beautifully in Keynote for forward/back controls and now it does not. I'm switching to PowerPoint for now. Bad.
Thanks for responding. Did they give any help or clue as to why in the world they would remove such great functionality?! Are there plans to repair this?
The problem with PowerPoint on the iPad is that we can’t use the iphone as a remote to control it. That’s a great feature but sheesh. Come’on Apple
I submitted a ticket and no response. I got so disappointed of how the staff are not aware of any software feature or even any basic information.
That's frustrating. Well it's good to know i'm not the only frustrated user.
Me too!!!
Does it work in iOS 11.0.1 and keynote 3.3? Checking cause looking to purchase Logitech spotlight today.
No, it is not iOS specific. The problem is still existing in iOS 11.01.
It is the problem in the Keynote code, not the iOS 11.
Result: No it is not fixed in iOS 11.01 as the iOS is not the reason.
Update...Bluetooth remote does not work in advancing Powerpoint slides either. *sigh*
Keyboard Shortcuts (Forward and Backward arrows) no longer works for keynote 3.3 in presentation mode??
