Microsoft PowerPoint

What Microsoft PowerPoint does

Microsoft PowerPoint is a mobile presentation app for creating, editing, viewing and presenting slide decks. It supports work on new presentations as well as existing PPT and PPTX files, with tools for adding and adjusting text, photos, video, graphics and charts. It suits students, office teams, presenters and anyone who needs to review or deliver slides away from a desktop.

Where it fits best

PowerPoint is useful when a presentation is still changing or needs to be available across devices. You can edit slides on the go, access recently used files and collaborate on presentations with other people. Its presentation view is built for showing slides from a phone or tablet, while templates can give reports and other structured work a starting point.

The useful side

• Creation: Build a deck from scratch or continue working on an existing file.
• Media: Add photos, video, graphics and charts to support the main point of a slide.
• Practice: Presenter Coach can help you rehearse with timing and feedback on pacing and filler words.
• Teamwork: Share presentations for review and make edits with collaborators in real time.

What to consider

This is a full presentation workspace rather than a simple viewer, so it makes the most sense for people who regularly handle slide decks or need compatibility with Microsoft Office files. Presenter Coach is aimed at delivery practice, not at improving the content of a presentation itself. The app is published by Microsoft Corporation in Productivity and has a 4.79/5 rating from about 3.83 million reviews, with 1 billion-plus installs.
