Microsoft PowerPoint for iPad is a welcome version of the popular presentation program. The modern, clean interface makes it incredibly easy to create and edit presentations on the go.

Pros

Easy to navigate: With PowerPoint, it's easy to create a presentation on your iPad. The app utilizes tabbed menus to add text, insert pictures, create animations, and review completed designs.

Modern templates: The slide templates all appeared to have gotten updates as well. We were impressed by all the modern, professional-looking slide options available. From the understated to the bold, you're sure to find a template to suit your presentation tone.

Built-in laser pointer: No need to worry about a laser pointer when you present. The app's built-in laser pointer lets you use your finger to guide the pointer when projecting from your iPad. Just drag your finger across your iPad screen, and the laser will move across the screen for everyone to see.

Cons

Paid subscription required: While the Microsoft PowerPoint app is free to download, you have to purchase an Office 365 subscription to actually create new files and edit existing ones.

Bottom Line

If you're a professional or student who has to frequently use PowerPoint to create presentations, the subscription fee is well worth the cost for access to this popular software.
