Microsoft PowerPoint Customer Service

I really like Microsoft products however when you’re trying to type on the small keyboards that you have with your phone. You really lose out on accuracy and sometimes because of the size of your fingers you may press the wrong button’s and so forth. However if you got the time you could probably do some productive work on an app like this but it’s not something that’s going to happen very quickly. And also sometimes some of the functions that are easier to get to on the full program seem like they’re either not on this program or hard to get to because of the number of menus that you have to go through. Nevertheless it is worth it to have this program the more programs a person has the more options they have so I do like the program overall however there is a certain curve that you have to get over.

I grew up with MS Office products, and I have always been a solid advocate of it. But I have to say that Power Point has been a let down so far, when it comes to using it on iPad. I have been dealing with the same problem, for several years now, reported it three times, and no has responded et alone fixed the problems/bugs: (1) On iPad Pro, converting PPT files to PDF is near impossible, when it comes to moderately sized PPT files (ie with a moderate load of images). It simply doesn’t convert. (2) Loading files that are already stored on the iPad takes forever, or is play do not reopen sometimes, and the system keeps trying and trying to open the file in what seems like forever. This problem seems to be less persistent when WiFi is turned off, but then that defies the whole point of being able to use many of the functionalities that are otherwise only available when you’re connected online. I am still a big fan/supporter, and only use Power Point for my presentation work, but I have to say that something’s got to give, eventually, f they don’t address such issues.

I’ve used the PowerPoint app on iPhone for years and really appreciate its convenience and overall design. However, a recent update seems to have removed the ability to view slides in full screen when turning the phone sideways. Now, slides only display vertically in a small portion of the screen — maybe 1/4 of the screen size — which makes reading any text extremely difficult. This has made the app far less user-friendly, especially when reviewing presentations on the go. The pinch-to-zoom feature is still there, but it’s clunky and doesn’t provide a good alternative to the full-screen landscape view. I also noticed there’s still no option to AirPrint slides directly from the app, which would be incredibly helpful. Please consider bringing back the full-screen landscape mode and adding AirPrint support. These seem like basic features that many users would benefit from. I do still like the app overall, but these issues have made it much harder to use effectively.

I’m really loving PowerPoint. It gives me a way to take my thoughts and turn them into videos that I can easily share across media platforms, and that alone has been a game changer for me. I can create visual stories without needing complicated tools or extra software. What I really appreciate is how versatile it is. I’ve used it not just for traditional presentations, but also for things like documenting floor plans and highlighting individual items. As a teacher, I had to document my classroom setup, and being able to clearly show six or seven different class setups visually was a huge advantage. It made everything easier to explain and share. Of course, the classic PowerPoint-to-movie option is still perfect and works exactly how you’d expect, but using it on my phone has been the biggest surprise. I love being able to create on the go without needing a big processor or sitting at a computer. That flexibility makes it feel modern, practical, and accessible. Overall, PowerPoint has become more than just a presentation tool for me. It’s a creative space where I can organize ideas, tell visual stories, and create content easily, whether I’m teaching, planning, or posting online.

My slide show keeps blurring slides and crashing after showing few slides. Up until your recent update, the app has been working perfectly on my iPad Pro (12.7 inch model). With the last update, I cannot use this app because of not only what I described above, but also the app freezes. Typically happens after swiping (with or without slide show) after 10-15 slides into the presentation. I’m running latest iOS 11 on my iPad. However, the app works fine from my iPhone X (running beta iOS 12, beta 8). Can you please fix this issue so I can rate this app 5 stars again? This is with version 2.16.1 (your latest version available). I have full Microsoft yearly membership for editing PPT, XLS, DOC files via the apps. Dear developer: feel free to email me if you need screenshots. I’ve tried this on several different slide decks from iPad. Same results unfortunately.

For almost 3 years, I have been a heavy user of PowerPoint on my iPad Pro - most particularly, using the Apple Pencil to annotate my slides. This has been a pivotal part of my workflow - and major driver of productivity and efficiency. Now, every time I write on more than 3-4 slides, PowerPoint crashes. A thread about this was launched on Microsoft’s Community page on June 19th, and initially a Microsoft representative was actively engaging with the many people who shared this same issue. However, it has been more than 2 months since any attempt at response/solution has been offered. This is clearly a major issue for a lot of people - and it needs to be fixed!

Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed She was looking kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb In the shape of an "L" on her forehead Well, the years start coming and they don't stop coming Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running Didn't make sense not to live for fun Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb So much to do, so much to see So what's wrong with taking the back streets? You'll never know if you don't go You'll never shine if you don't glow [Chorus:] Hey, now, you're an All Star, get your game on, go play Hey, now, you're a Rock Star, get the show on, get paid And all that glitters is gold Only shooting stars break the mold It's a cool place and they say it gets colder You're bundled up now wait 'til you get older But the meteor men beg to differ Judging by the hole in the satellite picture The ice we skate is getting pretty thin The water's getting warm so you might as well swim My world's on fire. How about yours? That's the way I like it and I'll never get bored. [Chorus 2x] Somebody once asked could I spare some change for gas I need to get myself away from this place I said yep, what a concept I could use a little fuel myself And we could all use a little change Well, the years start coming and they don't stop coming Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running Didn't make sense not to live for fun Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb So much to do, so much to see So what's wrong with taking the back streets? You'll never know if you don't go You'll never shine if you don't glow. [Chorus] And all that glitters is gold Only shooting stars break the mold

I really do like having PowerPoint (and the rest of the office suite) on my phone and my iPad. And there’s a lot I can do on them to edit a presentation. But while Microsoft keeps adding pretty things, there are very basic functions that are missing, making it sometimes impossible to use this in a work environment. My currently biggest beefs: 1. No ability to select and copy/move/delete multiple slides. A slide sorter would be nice for doing that but I’d just go with the ability to do it in the existing interface. But moving slides from one presentation to another is just too painful if you have to do it one slide at a time. 2. Missing highlighting option. Not because I can’t highlight text (would be nice but I can do without that) but because I can’t get rid of highlighting someone else put in a slide (using a different version of PowerPoint). This is absolutely annoying because there is NO workaround. There are other, smaller user interface issues, but they are annoying, not insurmountable. In general, for most purposes, this is a good app. Just beware that it is missing features that you are used to from the desktop version.

Literally, I don’t know how I would get through high-school without PowerPoint. It’s not the best app if you don’t get the office subscription, but if you do, this app, and all of the other Microsoft powered apps, go a REALLY long way. The suggestion system for it is absolutely spot-on in getting what you really want your presentation to look like. The transitions are limited, but you can usually get by by using the same one twice. I’ve wanted to express my absolute LOVE for PowerPoint for so long, and now seemed like the right time to do it. I just wanna say thanks to Microsoft, their team, and everyone involved in making this almost flawless app!

I have been using PowerPoint for almost a year now, and I have to download it get onto my iOS iPad, I started to face some issues. For one, the iOS version of PowerPoint, in my experience, seems to be a bit slow. Now, I’ve used the Mac PowerPoint before and I faced none of these problems. On iOS, it just seems to be a bit slow in my experience. And I have one more good recommendation for this app.: When I’m searching fonts on PowerPoint, it usually takes me a long time to find just the right one. I would love it if there was a search bar above, so I can search my font rather than wasting all that time to look for it myself. Those are my only recommendations :)

It works similar to editing PowerPoint in a Teams site. Much functionality is missing, but you can get the basic job done. One thing that doesn't work on the iPad, for me, is that when I select text, I no longer get the pop up menu (e.g. select, select all, copy, paste, etc) this is VERY inconvenient. I have a couple work arounds for some of those elements, but it forces me to have to jump through several steps to do a simple action. This used to work, and then on a recent app upgrade, the menu disappeared. Hope I'm not the only one and they can fix this pretty major bug.

I have worked on ppt for many years now, and the reality is when you create a presentation from years past and now are able to update various features due to upgrades from Microsoft Office and especially Power Point, it becomes a powerful visual media for training, communication, orientation, marketing, advertising, etc. I know there are some who say they don’t color ppt presentations but I for one try and use the full color capabilities of Power Point and all the bells and whistles it has been designed with.

I have used PowerPoint presentations throughout my life as an educator. Microsoft has consistently updated and upgraded features and templates which make it very easy to create professional content quickly in very attractive formats that include embedded videos and music. Additionally, the phone app is easy to use so that I can take my work anywhere and create on the fly. It is still one of the best media to make impactful presentations in person or by sharing them virtually.

So on my iPad Pro, this is still not 100% like using a computer for my powerpoints. I'm a teacher, and I prefer to have my slides set to 8.5" x 11" so that way, when I print them out for student handouts, they are perfectly formatted. However, the only 2 options here are "Standard" 4:3 and "Widescreen" 16:9. Although I can change the slide size on my computer, and it retains its format when opening on the iOS app, it still is obnoxious to have to go through that step rather than just completely edit on my iPad without using a different device prior.

I use this app daily for work. Though it is useful, I certainly wish that it can has the full capabilities as the PowerPoint application on a desktop. The use of background changes and opacity would be great, as well as being able to use a master slide deck and zoom in options. I’m sure I can speak for many of us when I say that the iPad is capable enough to handle such things now that the m4chip has come about. Please let this be an update soon. Thank you.

PowerPoint provides a fun and interesting way to convey information. Not all the information one needs is interesting, but PowerPoint can make conveying it fun. I use these for professional lectures and Sunday School classes. If you take advantage of the ease of adding multimedia you can incorporate cartoons, funny pictures or internet videos to perk up your listeners. With a little work you can use the animation feature to capture attention. The auto design can add ideas and produce eye catching slides.

Really good for work, school, or anything that you want to make in a presentation . It’s creative and easy if you learn how to use it properly, takes time to know how it works but it’s worth it. 100% sure that I will use it all my life, this app is not only about learning, making, working, writing, it’s also being creative and having a brilliant, bright and fun mind for your next project. Hope it helps! And I hope you will get an A+ on you next project! Good luck!💗💗

I’m using Powerpoint mobile to record teaching screencasts and find it very useful. ONE SUGGESTION: Could you add different colored pens and highlighters directly to the quick access bar at the top in presentation mode? When I tap to change color, that appears on my screen. If it were simply in the bar at the top and didn’t drop down, then I could simply crop that part of the video before I post it. I’m guessing there are others who would be interested in a similar feature. Thanks!

PowerPoint is an effective, low-cost and necessary software that I am capable to use efficiently and situationally under appropriate circumstances as well as oppositional circumstances. I am not foolish. I am not stupid. I do not want to be tortured. I do not want to die. I do not want to be hurt. I do not want to be killed. I do not want to hesitate to be jealous of something, some people, everything, every animal, every lifeless thing, every man and every woman. My hobbies are speaking and writing. I do not want to hate giving comments and reviews. If I talk unrelated things about the topic, I am sry.

I have recently retired and begun using an iPad, wanting to untether from a home computer. I purchased a PowerPoint and 360 subscription for my iPad. I was able to easily create a nice slide presentation including diagrams and photos, so I rate that aspect 5 stars. I haven’t found a way to convert my slides to a handout with 4 or 6 slides to a page, and haven’t gotten an answer from Help, so no stars for that. Overall, I like the program, and hope I can find all the functions I want on it.

Can we get picture in picture for powerpoint? So we can have enough space when writing notes while reviewing a presentation

Would love to review files without editing the file by accident. But great app!

I’ve had every iPad since they came out and office has been on all of them. The apps were pretty useless until now. Finally PowerPoint works smoothly, syncs seamlessly and actually is useful.

Should get Trust

It’s Really Fun You Can Make Lots Of Books

Sa fonctionnent tres bien et sa ressemble beaucoup a celui que on a accès sur un ordi

This application saved my life. It’s like a caveman discovering tea. The app does all the works for me. I just need to sit back and enjoy a proper cup of tea. Your competitors will be left over like rotten leftover plum pudding

Very good

PowerPoint is reliable, familiar, and consistently improving with updates. Files open perfectly whether I am on my phone, tablet, or laptop, and I have not had any issues like formatting. Solid app. No complaints from me.

Bugs

Very good for school

This app helps soooo much with presentations! Tip: try morph in transitions it makes the slideshow cleaner!

C’est vraiment cool tout qu’est-ce on peut faire

Pratique pour préparer des prestations

The photos can be edited on each slide and in the side panel alternate compositions are available Then share across media

Edit: Found it… apparently you have to have the virtual keyboard on and not using an external keyboard…. Which means when I want to copy/paste I have to select the text, turn off my external keyboard, turn keyboard back on to regain half of my screen, find the new place to paste to, turn keyboard back off to get the paste button, & finally turn keyboard back on. Edit Con’t: Why would you punish those of us who prefer not to lose half of their screen to a virtual keyboard??? The copy/paste button used to be on the button bar with an external keyboard. Now its this stupid box thing… I bet whoever over there that made the change brags about it… fire them (see below). I now say it was done to sabotage your app. Or you were hacked… might want to change your password for updates… Because no one could have made this a conscious decision unless they willfully wanted to hurt your users… Something as basic as copy/pasting text should not be a chore to find. It used to be an icon on the bottom that was aggravating and cumbersome, but it was there…. it’s now completely gone to the point I cannot find it how to do it and Google searches are not yielding results… Just stop making simple things difficult… find the programmer that hid it and fire them. Someone somewhere in your company knows who did it. They must have did it to be funny at best or intentional sabotage at worst. No one in their right mind would make copy/pasting text anything but user friendly. Other than that, pretty satisfied.

Displaying my PPT on PowerPoint on my phone would save me from downloading a third-party app, so I naively thought I would open my PPT in PowerPoint instead of saving it to my device. Oh, foolish me. When I went to save the PPT from PowerPoint, after confirming it displayed okay, I was greeted with a prompt informing me that in this app, without a subscription, I cannot save a PPT to my device. So I had to close PowerPoint and open a third-party app that didn’t gatekeep basic functionality like saving a PPT you imported. What is the point of using a Microsoft service when it is going to hassle me for trying to use such basic functionality? What service cost are they incurring by me saving my own PPT onto my own device on my own network that requires me to pay them almost ten dollars a month? Why would I ever choose to pay for this software when it is so petty upfront and when there are so many other options? And what possessed me once again to use any Microsoft software knowing that I have regretted it every single time? I suppose I will never know if the premium subscription features are worth the price tag, since it looks to me like Microsoft is charging the subscription cost of an actual service with actual overhead to unlock basic features that are already in the software I’ve downloaded.

Firstly, I love Microsoft Window products. I purchased this brand new iPad for my class, and I needed MS Word and MS PowerPoint. I jumped on to make my first PP presentation and I figured it out. With the IPad OS even if you hover over a feature it still doesn’t tell you what it is. So, I have to tap n learn. Thankfully, I have muscle memory using windows based platforms and PP, but that is another discussion. Secondly, I made my presentation, saved it, and went to pull it up later. I saved it in OneDrive and on the IPad. No can do! Neither file would open up for me. I started hunting around the internet and this seems to be a common issue with the iPad and MS PP. Once again, both are the latest versions. So, I will use my old HP and bang out another PP and hope my six year old laptop holds out for another couple of months. Meanwhile, this latest and greatest ipad cannot support this MS platform. I know. Different software, not meant to run on iPad. Well, maybe Apple shouldn’t allow it to run, or maybe MS should fix it to RUN on Apple. I know both of these companies have employees going to work for each other. Save your money if you are thinking about MS PP for your ipad.

The app has most of the formatting functions you’d expect, but what good are they if you cannot do basic editing? - To cut or copy text, you have to use a search function and type in “cut” or “copy.” But once you have text in the buffer, there’s no Paste function, not even using the search! Unlike most apps, press-and-hold only brings up a magnifying glass. - The auto zoom function has two degrees: whole page, where you cannot edit text, and zoomed in, where you can edit text but can only can see the left half or right half of the page. If the cursor is at one end of a line and you want to move the cursor to the other end of a line, you have to Zoom out and then zoom back in. - You’ll get tired of the above flaws very quickly. So I added a text editor app to create the text and then copy it into PowerPoint. Then I tore my hair out for hours, looking for a way to paste the text into PowerPoint for final formatting. If the vital cut, copy, and paste functions exist, they’re hidden better than Jimmy Hoffa’s body. - My advice: find another app unless the text in your slides is extremely simple.

I’m not really someone who writes reviews, especially when the issue I’m writing about has been written before but honestly the fact that the same issue still hasn’t been resolved is frustrating. Any time I try and use the app on my iPad, it crashes. I have forced closed, deleted and re-downloaded the app, restarted my iPad, factory reset and still nothing, the app still crashes. I understand that things happen and apps wont always work the way you need them to but this is super ridiculous. I downloaded PowerPoint so that it would be easier for me to take notes during class but it may be better for me to hand write my notes given the fact that I can’t even get the app open when I need it. I don’t care for a glitter pencil especially when the app is constantly freezing and crashing when I need it. Please resolve the problems the users actually care about so that we can properly use the app. Thank you in advance.

Recently bought a brand new iPad Air and Apple Pencil for the sole purpose of using it for school (I am a nursing student). I cannot even use this app, because whenever I open it so I can write notes onto the slides during class, it crashes. Sometimes I can’t even get as far as the app completely launching before it crashes. I have the same issue when I try to save any notes I have taken that way they aren’t totally gone, crashes before it will even save/send. I’ve done all the troubleshooting I can that I have found suggested by Microsoft and none of it solved the problem. Based off of what I’m reading, this has been an issue for several months and has gone unanswered and unresolved by Microsoft. I am just very disappointed and frustrated that I spent so much money not even two weeks ago on this iPad and Apple Pencil and cannot use it for the main reason it was purchased due to the bugs in this app. Please fix this!!

I only have a Mac at home. I use a 12.9 iPad pro and an iPhone X on the road. I recently decided to use my iPhone and Series 4 watch to run a PowerPoint for a client workshop. It works great when the app is on the Watch face, open and ready to go. The problem is what happens between slides when you are talking and interacting with the audience. You raise your wrist to tap on the next slide, and..... no app. Somehow the app has been backgrounded. You are presented with the default watch face, which means you either have to click on the crown and find PPT from the myriad of app icons (ugh, 55 year old eyes) or you have to click on the side button and bring it back from “Recents”, assuming you have your watch set up as “Recents” and not “Favorites”. I tried holding the watch in my hand and manually unlocking it. Trouble with that was it kept locking itself after a period of time, and sometimes the app would get backgrounded and I’d have to go through the process I described above. Like I said, it works PERFECT when it’s front and center on your watch face. This is so close to being a great solution, but right now it’s worse than annoying and is a distraction to my audience. Perfect solution: Whenever I raise my arm to change to the next slide, the app is the one that appears and I can advance to the next slide. Whenever PPT is running on the iPhone, the Watch ppt remote is the default app when raising your wrist. I realize this might be an Apple Watchkit issue and will depend on Apple letting you do this. One other request! Let me remote control the iPad version of PPT with the iPhone or the Watch.

The new update is a huge down grade. You now get glittery pens - but functionality has been lost. I used to be able to shrink the size of the powerpoint slides and type in the note section along side - which was carried throughout the powerpoint file. Now every time I switch a slide, it is MAXIMIZED to the largest size possible - and I have to re-shrink it down again and again. Even worse, the slide can no longer be moved to the side to accommodate the note space so that you can view the slide and notes fully and simultaneously side-by-side. Not only that, but every time I minimize the application to jump on safari powerpoint restarts completely, and I lose my place in the slides. These complaints may not seem like a huge deal, but for someone who is in PA school and sits through 6 hour lectures, these are huge disappointments and annoyances. I’ve used powerpoint since I began college 6 years ago, but I will be using another app if these problems aren’t fixed soon.

I have noticed that PowerPoint seems to restrict the user from inserting or importing a PDF into a slide. It appears that Microsoft doesn't have a way to convert a PDF to a PNG file, which can be inserted into PowerPoint. This would be very helpful for users who have to work with data sets that have been exported to PDF and need to be used in a PowerPoint. It would save time from manually adding/recreating the text and graphics from these documents. Also, if there is a better file conversion (other than PDF to PNG) that would maintain (or increase) the document’s native resolution and clarity yet still allow the user to insert the document and auto-adjust it to the PowerPoint slide’s dimensions. Please share the location of this function as I have not been able to locate it.

In the past 3 months there has been a forum on the MS website about educators and students having difficulty writing on ppt slides because the app will crash and delete the progress. It has effected me drastically in taking away my study time and trying to find a new way to learn. I write and notate on my ppts and rely strongly for them to study so I can finish nursing school. No one from MS has responded in 2 months. They stopped responding when they couldn’t find out what was wrong and left us with the problem. FIX IT MS. This is a huge let down because it obviously isn’t compatible with the new IOS updates. Do something !!! Help us. Update 9/28: they still haven’t fixed it. They keep recycling old information to follow when the forum already said it doesn’t work. Meaning… they aren’t actually working on a solution. Use OfficeSuite instead. Thank me later.

I use PowerPoint on my PC and iPad, with the files I edit sitting in my iCloud Drive. I rehearsed an early draft of my presentation on my iPad then spent several days working on my presentation on my PC. I then opened up PowerPoint on my iPad and it overwrote the version of my presentation saved by my PC to iCloud, without warning, with the old version I’d opened days before on my iPad. I lost several days of work due to the bizarre auto save feature. If I’d waited to put the presentation on my iPad until the morning of my presentation I would have nothing to show after it overwrote the most recent version. Why PowerPoint would auto save when there’s a more recent time stamp on the system file is beyond me. This is a fatal flaw that makes this program one star to me. Otherwise it’s a great app, but I could have lost my job due to the overwrite so its hard to recommend this app to anyone working on presentations that matter.

I had a very important presentation to make and at the last minute there was an issue saving it and it got severely corrupted apparently. It hasn't opened since. This is such a shame and now I understand why Microsoft and Apple are so reluctant to fuse together for projects such as this. It's a complete disaster; an utter failure of the highest regard. One would expect more of not one, but two multi-billion dollar companies, allegedly attempting to (re)design a program which has already been on the market for over a decade. Seriously, it is as if a novice, trainee student from a back-alley detention center in Detroit was hired to design this app for a net sum of thirty cents. A disgrace. Additionally, some of the formats for inserted pictures actually reduce the quality of the photos themselves. This is also a problem with the PC version. I'm glad to be able to witness the headway Microsoft has made towards addressing these deficiencies. Or, perhaps lack thereof.

I use this app in my classroom from my iPad. It allows me to AirPlay my lesson slides to the TV. The good: so much! I can draw on my slides during the presentation (a huge draw so I can write notes during class discussions, show visual differences, etc). I an do presenter view and go through slides without students seeing, to jump around. And because I can use my iPad, I’m very mobile and can zoom around the room. The bad: buggy connections!!! This app CONTINUOUSLY crashes, stalls when trying to open the files app, loses PowerPoints. I am getting my slides off google drive (as it’s a living document that I edit) and I go through the File App + Drive option. It SO OFTEN freezes at that point, or it’ll NEVER download the ppt when I do manage to get into my drive and click on it. I have tried closing the app fully and reopening, downloading directly onto my iPad, or fully restarting my iPad. These have different levels of success that changes, I guess depending on the wind direction that day??? I have been having to give up on using this app to just go through my computer, ugh. It also sometimes will just replace the new ppt (edited and saved in drive) with whatever is in its history (somehow), completely deleting all of my changes not only on my iPad but also in the drive. Wanted improvements: a preview of the next slide that shows the next animated occurrence (like it does on the computer, shows me a preview of what will pop up next). More control over ink while presenting (size, color). Better saving issues. More control in Animation Pane (for text animations to group text at 2nd/3rd level). Basically features that are in the desktop version but not yet in the app. I love using this app. I CAN’T USE IT WHEN IT DOESN’T EVEN WANT TO OPEN.

It’s a decent app. I tried using PowerPoint once for my ex wife’s wedding. It was a slide about the stages of early age male balding and focused on how my hairline wasn't bad enough for Lisa to divorce me. She decided to file a restraining order. I really like all the transition options between slides. My favorite is the airplane one because it reminds me of my ex wife’s face. My only critique on the app is that there isn’t a feature to help me deep fake my ex wife into some hentai. Yesterday I used PowerPoint to make a presentation on fruits that look like vaginas and my gay son walked in. I’m thinking about giving him to an orphanage so that Lisa wouldn’t have to worry about him if she started dating me again. Lisa’s neighbor just texted me that my wife’s favorite color is green so I think PowerPoint should make their logo have some green in it.

I find the iPad version of PowerPoint a nuisance more than a helpful app for professionals and students alike. There’s no way to make sub-bullet points, no way to indent any of the text, the option to add a text box is literally at the end of the “insert” bar so it’s annoying whenever I have to add any text box (which is what you have to do the most when you’re creating a PowerPoint), there’s no way to exit from the presentation mode without having to touch the screen and the screen kind of twitches whenever I try to choose a text box to edit the text so I always end up tapping outside the box which means that I’ll have to do it all over again. Also, if your goal was to give the app a “clean and simple” look, you don’t have to literally cripple it to do that.

Had a PowerPoint presentation project due today. All I had to do was record my audio speaking over the slides, but guess what? This app doesn’t let you record audio in it on the iPad, you have to attach it…. But guess what again? The PowerPoint app only lets you select recorded audio from your APPLE MUSIC LIBRARY, which is impossible because apple library, since it doesn’t allow external audio (recorded audio)….. so how can one included audio on their PowerPoint presentation on an IPad? You can’t… After hours of trying to figure it out … but guess what again? the app contains a “rehearse with coach” option, which listen to you speak/present your project, but it doesn’t save any audio….. if it can have the “rehearse” option then why isn’t there any option to record and save audio in the PowerPoint app? What’s the reason? 🤔🙄😒

I’m really disappointed by this app. First of all I have trouble working with large ppts that I’ve saved to Dropbox. I often get a notice that I “no longer have access to the file” and have to save a copy...which then doesn’t open. So sometimes I’m just screwed. This is frustrating. Further, there is no timing or recording option in the “view slide show” tab. You can’t select multiple objects at once, the lasso select tool doesn’t work for me, and it’s very hard to move around on the slide. Maybe I’m just not used to it, but it doesn’t have nearly the level of functionality as the full version on a Mac. So frustrating because I would love to edit, save, and practice my presentations on the go. This is a major reason why I bought an iPad.

Right now the iOS version (even paid) is pretty weak at best. While I can review the file and look at it, only the most basic of functionality is carried over. Things like SmartArt are a constant thing I need to edit which is completely unavailable in the iOS version. What’s more, is while it is available in PPT Online, if you have the iOS version installed, trying to launch a PPT from any other program (Teams, OneDrive, even the browser) simply loads the iOS version. In order to do basic editing of even slightly more robust things like SmartArt requires me to constantly uninstall the iOS version, do my edits in the browser, then reinstall the iOS version once complete. Please get at least feature parity with the Online version.

I will no longer use Wifi - the artificial limits on download are about to make me delete your LARGE App. I have a case at Apple and of course they blame you and the carrier - the support agent agrees it is “Stupid”. I wonder why it’s okay to stream Gigs of a baseball game or a movie but downloading an app that is Broken is a NO NO. MS NOT that differentiating these days. Same for other MS apps. I like Outlook but LookOUT to be gone too. And since I own the company that buys 365 and Azure gone is a BIG gone. Tick. Tick, tick. I’m you are now aware and I can let other users know all is well in a few days or so, therefore rating will go to a deserved location.

60% of the time, it does what I need, but there are some basic functionalities that are just missing and it doesn’t make sense why. You can’t search or replace copy in a presentation. Forget about copying multiple slides from one presentation to another (you have to close your presentation, open the one you need slides from, copy a single slide, close that presentation, open the first again, copy it in, and then repeat that process for every slide you need to copy in! Come on!). Honestly, at some times it feels like Microsoft is just messing with Apple users. “Fine we’ll give you our software for iPads but good luck getting anything done! Should have bought a surface!”

My issues started about a week ago with what I bet is the newest iOS update. But from a forum post I found fromJune 2021, many other have been having this issue for much longer with little to no response from Microsoft. I’ve submitted three tickets (one of which, the employee had me on hold for over 2 hours, with no check-ins to tell me how anything is going) and done the suggested basic troubleshooting on the forum post, with no improvement. I cannot get PPT to stay open for more than 10 seconds on my school iPad to be able to do literally anything on it. My school also isn’t able to do anything with it because it’s a Microsoft app. So I’m stuck here and not even able to view or take notes for any of my classes because no one is responding.

I used to love this app when I’m taking notes on my IPad. However, its slowing me down and annoying me. Here’s why: 1. Whenever I try to type something in the notes section, the slide doesnt resize anymore to fit the screen with the section open. Even if I try to minimize the slide, you can’t move it to the side to keep the whole thing in view. 2. The names of my presentations are disappearing! For example, I’ll have a presentation that I named “Ch. 14 Cardiac Assessment.” Now it’ll only show me “Ch. 14.” I’m getting confused in trying to open the correct presentation! 3. When I try to save my presentation from one drive to another, it’ll save the presentations in both drives instead of just transferring it to another. I don’t know if that bothers anyone else, but it bothers me. PLEASE FIX THIS WITH A NEW UPDATE. OR JUST BRING BACK THE PREVIOUS UPDATE!

Someone is currently editing this review. To edit this review please save a copy. Yeah, I’m playing with you. But seriously, every time I close a document and then open it later I see the description above, yet with the word ”document“ instead of ”review.“ And often it doesn’t even have to be later, it could be a few minutes after closing it. I’m not going to create five or ten copies of my work all around my files because you guys have a glitch in your save/autosave mechanism. Tell me how I am going to get done my presentations for my college courses!? This is actually important! I know it’s not all about me, but fixing this glitch could help everybody with the same issues and more. Thanks for reading, but I can’t fully thank Microsoft, Apple, whoever is in control of this app, etc. until this is fixed.

After taking a full class’-worth of notes in my O-Chem class on my iPad Pro, it crashed and deleted all of it. I restarted taking them, frantically trying to catch back up while still listening; it did it an additional 2x and it would still not save my work. It did this last semester sometimes, but it has somehow gotten worse because it’s now happening every time I use it. I updated both my iPad as well as the PPTX app. I am going to stop using this app if it’s not fixed, just have to find some other alternative I guess because this is absolutely maddening. Happy to improve my review if it is addressed because it has the potential to be perfect for my needs, but until then, the 1 star is just because 0 was not an option…

Numerous times I am unable to export a PowerPoint file to PDF format. This is a feature within PowerPoint. Screen shows “working on It.’ After about 2 to 5 minutes, it comes saying “unable to do this action right now. Try again later.” Try again later and still have the same problem. Big waste of time. Usually have to turn Apple IPad 13 tablet off and then turn it on again for it to work. Sometimes this still does not the solve the problem. In addition, there are other features of PowerPoint that do not work such as line spacing, changing the starting number for number and bullet feature. Just a few of the problems that I am experiencing with PowerPoint

I love Microsoft Office, I truly do. When I purchased this app I thought it would have the same features I get when I am using a PC. I was mistaken. I am limited to how I can edit, and even when I download templates from the actual site since I have a subscription, there are so many hurdles, you can’t directly paste into what has been formatted, you have a limited amount of edits that can be done to a picture, just very basic features that are not in this app. This app is disappointing. SOLUTIONS MICROSOFT PPT! 1. Ensure editing features that are widely used on PPT on a PC or MAC can be accessible in this app. This includes but is not limited to: Copying and Pasting buttons, Format buttons, allowing pictures to be pasted into shapes, if you have a template available for those who have a subscription TEST THE BLOODY THING OUT ON AN IPAD AND SEE IF ITS EASY TO USE AND FORMAT FOR GOODNESS SAKE, don’t just provide a design idea for when a picture is inserted this should be a feature for the entire slide, DELETE MEANS DELETE (I can’t tell you how many glitches I have had with this app).

This app is mostly good, but I have encountered an error when taking notes in presentation mode. Sometimes I the ability to swipe between slides goes away and every stroke I make to attempt to do so just puts ink on the slide. It often takes many attempts to get the functionality bar to drop down from the top so that I can exit and re-enter presentation mode, which then usually fixes the problem for a time. In general, I think Microsoft could improve the functionality of the PowerPoint app to include the features of OneNote within a ppt presentation format and do away with one note altogether, thus eliminating the need to export ppts into one note.

Great app generally….However it has some real problems when involving a large power point with a lot of video content. Specifically if it is associated with an online sync situation if you do not have a very stable WiFi connection. Syncing to the cloud should be turned off at that point. It is also worth noting that if the app crashes with not syncing changes tend to get lost. I have given up using this app while traveling in the airports. They need to make this way more stable in these type of situations. Although I might be an outlier as my power points tend to be video heavy.

There’s a bug with the new update. When trying to save items to my iPad, I have to save the item, close out the app as the app freezes, re-open the app, save the item again in which the option to replace the item comes up since it’s already been saved as a zero kb empty item, and when I replace it this seems to bypass the glitch. It’s been like this for weeks. Figured it would have been fixed by now. I didn’t have this issue prior to this update. Not the end of the world, but very annoying for a grad student who has new PowerPoint lectures to save each day.

For whatever reason, when I updated the app on my iPad, it took away the ability to print multiple slides per page in the format that I have been for the last 4 years of my schooling. I have been exporting the PDF of it once I have it 6 slides per page in portrait mode into good notes to take notes for years. Now the only option is to cram all the slides together on one page with no space in between as if they’re one big photo. It’s horrible for note taking and I hate it. Also, the app is suddenly ridiculously slow to create print previews and open slide shows. This is isn’t an update. It’s a downgrade horrible enough to make me want to delete the app.

Why can’t you put on vidios? I’m doing a school project and I can’t so 1 hour wasted of precious work time 🙁

I was tasked with writing a newsletter for work. Something where I would have text and nice images in the background. After about an hour and half of trying just to send images to the background, so that you can read the text. I gave up and my wife suggested to use canva. We had the newsletter completed in about 10 minutes. What a waste of time!! 😡🤬 Remember the kiss formula? Keep it short and simple?

This app crashes whenever I write into the ppts.

It keeps crashing every time I try to open a document, I even tried rebooting my iPad and deleting then reinstalling the app but it does nothing

Every time I open the app it begins to download a previous presentation. There is no progress bar but after several minutes it’s still downloading. Hit cancel and it still stays downloading. After many more minutes I give up and admit this app is a piece of unusable trash.

The app keeps crashing. Need to fix ASAP.

Or make it more difficult to delete! Otherwise great.

Perfect. Started crashing constantly on the first day of moving to online instruction. Thanks Microsoft for turning my tablet into a paperweight.

😫😩😫😩😩😩😩😩😩😩

All notes and changes to PowerPoints are erased instantly after saving. Would give zero if I could

PowerPoint for iPad is quite useful when it works. But deleting slides and drawing makes the app crash and the only way to recover is delete the app and reinstall.

Everything works fine for 3 minutes after redownloading then it just keep crashing.

I have a presentation due tomorrow i went through the hassle of making a profile and everything! And i still cant even TYPE! So annoying!! I see other reviews having the same problem 2 years ago so obviously the problem has yet to be solved😡

I’m just gonna use google slides.

I cannot work on my presentations and nothing is working I am would like it if you would fix it right now all right Do it now!!! 😡👎🏻

Could not use I tapped every button and it wouldn’t let me type

This app has not been saving my projects even if I make it,this is really aggravating.😠

App is view only without subscription to Microsoft’s Office 365.

I just downloaded this app and i cant tho a single thing not even write

There is no reason to use PowerPoint when Canva is infinitely more customizable and doesn't break down on the daily.

Overall it’s very good, easy to use but I wish I could add more photos to make my presentation better. I also would like if I could share the power point rather than having to email to my teachers but it’s getting me through school so I can’t complain too much.

PowerPoint is a great site but it’s horrible on iPads. It keeps lagging out and kicking me sometimes which is really disturbing.

I’m trying to work on a school project from home and I try to sign in but I need to log out on my school computer to log in on my phone! Fix this please Microsoft

Crashing too frequently

It’s ridiculous how much storage powerpoint takes up on my apple devices. They should update it to auto-delete the cache or reduce file sizes. Everytime I open a new slide, the cache keeps compiling until suddenly, it shows that it’s taking up 20GB of storage and I have no space left for anything else.

I can’t create a slideshow. The slides won’t transition without me clicking on them. I have a subscription, so this should work. It is useless to me

Dump

It sucks

Les partages ne fonctionnent jamais, l’app me dit toujours qu’il n’a pas été possible de préparer le fichier pour le partage….

Tutorials are not helpful. Very slow to learn functionality. Simple things like changing font size and adding new slide layouts not intuitive. Using it because I have to….

Can they make it worse ? Why not?

J’aime créer des ppt car c’est relativement facile à utiliser et on peu créer une présentation assez rapidement. Ceci dit, avec l’arrivée de nouveaux logiciels comme Canva, vous perdez des plumes et Powerpoint ressemble de plus en plus à un logiciel de boomer 2010. Faudrait premièrement pouvoir ajouter les images où bon nous semble, pas où ppt le décide et aussi offrir de meilleurs graphique, collants et thèmes pour rendre les présentations plus dynamiques.

почему нет столько функций? почему нет даже выравнивания? КОГДА ВЫ СДЕЛАЕТЕ ПРИЛОЖЕНИЕ ДЛЯ АЙПАД ТАКИМ ЖЕ ХОРОШИМ КАК НА КОМПЬЮТЕРЕ

I can’t go on it on google I have to download it

Extremely laggy
