iA Presenter’s text-based interface puts the story at the center of your presentation. The design engine adjusts the layout of your slides to your screen. There is a teleprompter for presenting. A fresh, fast and fun way to create and hold presentations.
Just like with iA Writer before, it's a bold and novel approach that soon feels so obvious that you wonder why it hasn't always been this way. It's such a no-brainer that a good presentation should be script first, slides last and yet for years presentation software has trained us to fiddle with slide designs and sqeeze in some speaker notes at the end. A great idea, expertly executed.
I found myself with a weekend to turn a blog post into a 30-minute presentation. Presenter tricked me into writing a good talk instead of letting me fiddle with slides for hours. The talk went great and, as a bonus, offering the audience text and PDF versions of the talk + slides was easy peasy.
This app transformed the way how I make presentations. Make your speech, not diagrams.
Hands down the best tool for knocking out a great looking presentation deck in a couple of hours, if not minutes.
I bought this one. It keeps you focused on writing a presentation rather than fiddling with a deck. This is a tool for thought, and it's well crafted. For some people, this will be a drafting / writing tool rather than an end product, and their decks will be better for it.
its foundational concept is a stroke of genius, in interlacing MD-editing with very aesthetic, semi-automated slide creation. lots of good ideas added on to that, like the way scripts are handled in addition to the presentation itself. what it still needs: should be better interoperational w/ itself (like copying slides; document internal search) and get better media handling (like auto-reduce media size – like Keynote has; (re-)naming and (ex-)portability of imported images…) overall, this is is a unique product, and indespensable for people working inbetween text and presentation, in whatever fashion…
iA Presenter is just as joyful to use as iA Writer. It is a refreshing take on what PowerPoint, Keynote, Slides, etc. failed to address with their apps: focusing on the essential. It's the focus on the "story" which makes the whole process of creating presentation less dreadful and more sophisticated in how I want to present my ideas to the audience. Bravo! ✨
The best product with the worst and rude customer support team! They are heartless people.
