Never heard of it before. Downloaded to try, started playing a simple presentation, and now there's no playlist and the main window is stuck in some nether-region of my desktop and I can't get it up again. Oh well, restarted
There's no option to always hide the cursor? Or at least, on certain file types?
Tried using the website presenter thing. The app stalled "preloading content" and when I bailed out, I found a new Chrome window (with the content fully loaded) sitting on my desktop. Tried again, sort of worked, except the Chrome statusbar is stuck saying "Downloading proxy script."
I don't understand the key shortcuts - I press PgUp inside a PDF and, predictably, I get the previous page, not the previous slide. Also, it says "All file types: Esc" but Esc doesn't work in web pages. Plus, at first I thought it was a 3-key combo to go backwards, not 3-chose-1.
The pop-up/down toolbars are annoying - I don't want my slide deck showing up when I happen to mouse too close to the bottom of the screen. Yeah, I could pay $99 for the pro version which I would assume solves this problem, I could also just use PowerPoint and deal with alt-tabbing.
The interface seems sluggish and laggy, especially when it's transitioning between content, or loading stuff. The app takes a good 6-7s to start up on my machine (powerpoint takes <1).
So, all in all, good idea, but definitely needs some polish and testing. I don't like the idea that my presentation could get stranded offscreen, or that I could be panicing moments before I'm supposed to be on stage because the app froze loading a webpage, or that I get stuck on a slide with no controls, or any of the other issues here. Reliability and predictability are key.
