Keynote Reviews

How user-friendly it is. Super easy to add images and details, align them, and create various slides. Creating visuals is not my strength and I use Keynote to create posters too. I started using Canva recently but I still feel more comfortable with Keynote.

It would be great if it had more templates and more styles. I've purchased some PowerPoint template and it works ok with Keynote, but I'd rather have access to more default templates when creating a new file.

I love that you can export a slide by dragging and dropping it into another package. It automatically creates an image of the slide. It's great for compiling reports from presentations, but also using the slides in the non-fiction personal development, business, and money books that I author and self-publish.

For what keynote is - a presentation slide show software - there's little I don't like about it. It seems to me there's a plethora of simple, easy-to-use tools that when combined and understood can create pretty much whatever you want. I err toward keeping it simple and clean so I rarely hit any roadblocks in terms of features or functionality. In fact I can't remember the last time I had any issues.

The one and probably only pro I can think of is that it is readily available on your laptop, even if you have no internet connection.

It does nothing better than Google's presentation software and its being limited to mac and Apple ecosystem users is very limiting when it comes to sharing and cooperation

One of the things I really like about Keynote is how much you can do with it. There are many options to choose and although it does the same job as Google Slides or PowerPoint, it does the job and does it well.

There isn't much to not like about Keynote as it's pretty standard (in my opinion), but if I were to complain about one thing, it would be the video playing within the presentation. It works as expected, but I wish there was an "easier" way of playing it (as in making it more "obvious"), but again, it's a minor complaint.

Very sophisticated yet easy to use User interface is vastly superior to Powerpoint Easily convertible to Ppt format if required. Compatible with ppt format Super animations Fully compatible with the rest of the Apple suite Using Keynote with a projector is a breeze!

File size is surprisingly high. Some bullet are not reproduced adequately when importing to ppt format Imported files for ppt format sometimes have to be rearranged Font compatibility between ppt files

I like it comes free with my iPad and my iPhone. My presentations are saved on iCloud. So it is accessible between all Apple devicea and family. It’s free so I don’t have to pay. I can create and share presentations on my iPhone. Usage and interface is very basic and easy.

It’s not easy to send presentations to other platforms. I need to convert format for other platforms.

It is the easiest tool to learn and design a presentation. The best thing is the possibility to start a keynote on the iPad and to finish it on the Mac.

Apple does't manage it to give us a real collaborative tool still. To comment, work together, exchange data and brainstorm together are not there yet in the way, the competition does it. All the tools in Keynote are there, but not used as they could be. Also, the use of custom fonts between iPad and Mac is totally off or not possible.

The templates are top notch and make it really easy and intuitive to put together a classy, high quality presentation easily. As most of my work world moved to Zoom (and is planning to stay), being able to quickly create backgrounds, visual cueing and information sharing has been critical. There are lots of slide presentation apps but Keynote's taste and layout suggestions are just a bit nicer. I consistently get feedback and requests for "tips" about how I got my slides to look so good.

Converting Keynote slides into Google Slides takes a couple of steps to work around. You can covert directly in app to PowerPoint, .pdf, .gifs, etc but not Slides yet, which is the most common request from my end users.

I am a die hard apple fan. I have only ever owned a Mac desktop or laptop. That being said, I grew up on Powerpoint. I like the cleaner look than the old versions of powerpoint I used to use. Even using powerpoint on a Mac, always had a very "PC" vibe to it. Creating slides is very simple. I don't have much of a need for presentations now, but I think it would be very easy to hit the ground running.

My only con completely contradicts my pros. When I was in school, we used a lot of powerpoint. I was constantly looking for the old features instead of getting used to the new, cleaner layout. I think it would just take a presentation or two for a long time Microsoft user to get used to Keynote.

Apple's Keynote software offers me everything I need in my presentation software. It's easy to style my slides and I can quickly build out a presentation deck. The best part is that it's free to download for Mac users.

I miss some of the more deeper technical settings that some other competitors might have.

I like how easy it is to import and export files from this software. It makes my job easier especially when we educators work on a lot of our presentations.

The exclusivity of the software for Apple ecosystem users would be my least liked feature of Keynote.

It works seamlessly with any Apple device. Design options are superior to Google Slides or Powerpoint. I can move slides with my Apple watch!

I like Keynote, but only use it when I am 100 % certain I would be able to use my computer to present. If that is not the case, I usually do the presentation in Google Slides. I am not too happy with exporting to other formats (due to some minor design changes).

I love the ease of working from multiple documents and being able to add parts of each of them into my presentation. This software is my favorite. I even like it better than Pages because of the drag and drop capabilities. I even use it to think and process workshops I develop before I build the presentation. It's an awesome tool!

Adding video and making it work every time. That some companies don't use it and want to transfer it to PowerPoint - it never is a flawless transfer in either direction.

I have been a powerpoint user for a long time. But this is the first time I can stay on mac programs and not rely on Microsoft products. I can put together a presentation and send it to my Iphone or Ipad and be ready to go. I started to use IMovie and I found out the people use Keynote to make overlays for their Imovie projects.

There are a few things that Keynote lacks from Powerpoint. But It is better than google slides.

This is the only software I know that allows the creation of such beautiful documents, with several features available to use creativity and leave an impeccable design in my creations. In addition, through it, I can also share documents and make changes with other people.

Unfortunately, Keynote uses a lot of storage, which is a big downside, making my iCloud more expensive as a result. Another negative point is that it is a limited-use software since only Apple users can enjoy it, making it difficult to share files.

I use Keynote for all of my work presentations. I've tried PowerPoint but it just never felt intuitive to me. With Keynote, it's so easy to add in multimedia and make changes quickly - which is really important when you're making a presentation. The other thing I like about Keynote is the ability to customize it by adding in your own personal theme.

I dont have any negatives to report. Apple has done an amazing job like they always do.

Keynote allows you to create beautiful materials, with detailed tools that no other presentation software has. I can create presentations that bring engagement because of the design details that Keynote brings.

The fact that only those who have a MacBook can use it is a disadvantage when I need to work on shared documents, making it difficult for many people to access. In addition, presentations tend to take up a lot of storage, and it is sometimes necessary to use Keynote through iCloud, with extremely limited resources, making my work difficult.

I love the high quality of the result, the presentations in keynote looks much professional than in Power Point.

The fact that only Mac users can use it.

Keynote is a great tool to build presentations. Intuitive and with the necessary features to create good material

Some innovative features that I value are not supported by the application, which makes it lag behind some alternatives

You can edit your presentations without internet, no problems with attachment of audio o video files.

At the beginning is not very intuitive, can be improved the tutorials.

When it comes to presentation, Keynote has all features and is easy to deploy and use.

No major issues with Keynote. Has always worked

I've been a Keynote user for several years now and I love it. It's simple to use and has so many beautiful templates to choose from. I use Keynote for all my presentations and even though I'm a total noob when it comes to designing, it's so easy to use. I run into so many problems with other apps for presentations, but Keynote is just the best.

The only thing I think can be improved is its cloud version. The desktop app is amazing but the cloud version needs a lot of improvement.

I use Keynote every day, it is perfect for creating client mood boards

Nothing, it is super easy to use and we use for every client

Keynote is a well put together program, it is easy to use and works well when presenting.

I don't think there is anything I didn't like about their product.

I love that it’s really easy to use also you can add some tables from numbers and you can edit them on the Keynote slides

I just didn’t like that you have first to export the document to a PDF and dad Keynote is not compatible with a lot of Software’s
