I've used Powerpoint and LibreOffice for presentations and find Keynote to be comparable but not exceptional. There are many little inconsistencies and bugs that keep cropping up, especially with the assignment of fonts inside of master pages. I spend more time setting and resetting font assignments than anything else in Keynote. I also get bombs when importing Powerpoint or LibreOffice presentations into Keynote as well.

Apple does not provide adequate attention to dealing with the bugs and problems in their own software, IMHO and, because of that, LibreOffice is a better deal since it is free and updated more often.

For those people that also use an iPad for presentations; until LibreOffice comes out in an iOS version, Keynote is more useful for those that use an iPad for presentations.

Wonderful application. Very stable, very slick, very powerful.

I also really appreciate the recording function. However, since I am often using video in my presentation I frequently do encouter a problem with the recording function: if you record a presentation it is not possible to "play" with the video clips you show, i.e. you cannot scrub forwards or backwards etc. This seriously impacts my use of Keynote. Of course, I see that this is probably a very difficult feature to implement. But at the level of sophistication that Keynote has reached, why not ask for it? ;)

I also find it wonderful that Apple keeps updating this app for over three years now without asking money from us.

BUT, I would really, really, really love to get a real upgrade to iWork _for the Mac and not for iOS_ somewhat soonish. This is not as urgent for Keynote as it is for Pages and Numbers, but still I find myself wishing for a real upgrade several times per week…

It is a marvelous program. I use it to do movies since if you know one or two tricks (and there are several) it can be very easily and successfuly converted to a movie format
Thus one can do what would take a lot of effort on any of the complicated and expensive programs
I wanted to give it 5 for also overall rating but it has not allowed me to do that! So regard it as straight 5 :)

My clients all use PowerPoint, so until now I used PowerPoint. I finally couldn't stand it any longer, and shelled out for Keynote for Mac and iPad (plus the necessary iPad connectors). After spending a few hours with both versions of Keynote, I am kicking myself for having waited this long to ditch PowerPoint. Keynote is easier to use and has more to offer. On top of that, the price is a steal!

Finally fixed the rule lines for hand-outs! Better late than sorry, but I'm glad the fix is there. Love this app!

Wonderful app. Far ahead of PowerPoint.
It fulfill's all my needs, except two things :
- the transprencies (.gif files) are not managed
- there is no easily accessible information on each object (like its actual location)

Yes, Keynote does have some really great features and impressive effects. Name another application that has the wonderful new transitions introduced in iWork 09. The application is also fairly easy to use. Having said that, the program doesn't have an ounce of stability.

I've been using Keynote to produce presentations for my employer since iWork 08. There were quite a few bugs in '08 that have yet to be addressed in '09. For a while, I was working on one of the older white MacBooks (2,1). Upon pressing the 'Play' button to view my project, my computer would often restart. This would cause me to lose any unsaved changes, and quite frankly, that is just a huge pain to deal with. Luckily, I'm not on a powerful, new MacBook Pro and don't have that problem anymore, as that bug is only MacBook specific.

The other problem with the program is the timing. With Keynote, ten seconds is not ten seconds. But that is fairly easy to get around with a little trial and error. I can deal with that, right?

What I cannot deal with is the fact that the same project played several times produces results of different links. As an experiment, I recently took one project and played it three times. I captured each one with ScreenFlow to compare. The project was three minutes long. Up to the 30-second mark, everything was in-sync. From there it was just downhill, as nothing lined up. One ended at 2:57, another at 2:58, and the last at a whopping 3:00. This can create real problems if you creating your soundtrack after gathering the project, as nothing lines up. Using a weak computer could explain this, but Apple, I'm using one of your new MacBook Pros.

Ok, so maybe that isn't so bad, right? I mean, a few seconds can be made up for with some third-party editing tools. But what about when your project is in the final stages and you realize that you need to change the timing of the transition between slides one and two? Well, changing the transition time between one and two may make slide six stay onscreen for more of less time. I've often changed the timing of a transition only to find that another slide stays onscreen for up to ten seconds less! And then, when you fix the timing on slide six, you have to fix the timing between slides two and three again.

Sorry, Apple, but you guys are losing my trust. I can't believe you released a new version of this buggy program without fixing these major bugs. We understand that you have a lot on your hands, but don't forget that for many of your users, iWork is a part of their work. And believe me, we also have a lot on our hands.

Keynote just does not cut it.

Global changes in fonts that are used on master pages does not work very well, if at all too.

Keynote is absolutely wonderful. With a job-talk coming up, I decided to do a slideshow presentation - my first ever. I downloaded Keynote's 30-day trial version, which gives you complete use of the application, including saving and exporting. The application is so dummy proof, even a professor at an ivy league university like myself could use it. It opens with an option to watch a very short introductory video clip. This was enough to get me up and running. After that, everything about the application is intuitive, inviting, and beautiful. Running it in the background of my lecture could not have been more elegant with the barely noticeable remote control in the palm of my hand. When I finished the presentation, a good percentage of the questions were about what program I used. Professors like myself who'd never before used presentation software expressed how essential they now realize it could be to teaching. So kudos to Keynote. Thank you for a job-talk well done.
