Microsoft PowerPoint

Microsoft PowerPoint has a version adapted to Android mobile phones that allows us to easily create presentations and slideshows from a smartphone or tablet.

The best tool for creating presentations

Creating a PowerPoint presentation is probably the be-all and end-all of your job or college. The truth is that the Microsoft tool originated from Presenter, a presentation creation program originally designed for Mac but eventually sold to Bill Gates and the company. Since then, boosted by Microsoft Office, it has become the program with which to create presentations, despite the many alternatives to PowerPoint, such as Prezi, Keynote or those included in the LibreOffice and OpenOffice office suites.

This program is so important that just like Word or Excel, creating a slideshow presentation has taken the name of this software. Its version for Android smartphones and tablets offers us everything we need to create, edit and view a slideshow. It's fully compatible with different versions of the program, allowing us to share our work with other devices and systems: Windows, macOS and iOS.

In this APK we'll find all the tools that have made Microsoft PowerPoint a tool of choice when it comes to expressing ideas and projects in different fields, both academic and professional. One of the main assets of Microsoft PowerPoint is the ability to combine different types of multimedia elements to enrich the content displayed, and this version of Android will not lack that.

Share your work

If you're already familiar with the rest of Microsoft Office's applications, you'll know that support has been extended to include collaborative work. Now it's much easier to develop projects with different members of your team by setting different permission levels so they can edit the project or just view the document. Editing can be done simultaneously, and all changes will be viewed by all members in real-time.

Which one is better? PowerPoint or Prezi?

We all know that there are excellent alternative programs... A few lines above we mentioned Prezi and other options that belong to the open source office programs, all of which are decent programs. However, we cannot deny that, version by version, Microsoft's tools are improving their features and performance and have become a standard that has set the pace for this type of development. If I had to choose, I would definitely know what to do.
