Keynote for Mac


Keynote for Mac is a free presentation program that features iCloud Drive and sharing. It is easy to use and provides great transitions and effects. Keynote allows sharing with people who use Microsoft PowerPoint.
One of the most popular features that draws people to Keynote is the impressive charts. This is important for Businesses because when it comes to explaining data, a chart is worth a thousand words. Keynote offers column, bar, pie, scatter, bubble charts, and more. It also allows you to use animation. This is important because it allows you to make your charts interactive to focus attention on important stages in your presentation. The best part about this feature is that although it sounds complicated, it is really easy to use.
Keynote is great for students because it is extremely user friendly and is very easy to share with other students or your teacher virtually. You can send anyone a link to a presentation saved in Keynote for iCloud.  People who receive the link can view and edit the presentation in any web browser that supports keynote. This works on a Mac or Windows Computer. The best part about the sharing option is that the people you send the link to don’t need an iCloud account to view or edit the presentation. This is unlike the presentation tool by Google where you have to have a Google account to share the presentation. As far as privacy goes, if you want to restrict access to your presentation, you can protect it with a password. You can also restrict permission so others can view the presentation but not make changes to it.
You can share your Keynote presentation via Mail, messages, twitter, or Facebook. Presentations can even be sent via services such as Gmail or Dropbox.

I like keynote because it has all of the features of other presentation tools and more. So far, keynote has the easiest sharing policy out of all the programs I've seen. The only Con of Keynote that I’ve heard of is that although this app has no trouble opening PowerPoint files, sometimes when you export your presentation to PowerPoint format, you can lose some of your formatting in the transition.
