Prezi for the iPad

EME5050 - ABC for Week 13


I have fallen in love with Prezi and now I've found Prezi for the iPad.  I'm in heaven (well almost). It is basically a viewer, but at least it is a start in the direction of being able to use Prezi on my iPad and not just on my computer.  I am thrilled!  I've also found the Prezi Blog at http://blog.prezi.com/tag/ipad/

Below is the video I found on YouTube about using Prezi on the iPad.  Check it out!



I tried viewing my most recent Prezi production on my iPad and it didn't display as "cleanly" as it does on my computer.  When I say "cleanly" I mean there is no overlapping and there is plenty of white space between the items along the "path" of the presentation itself.

The Prezi Blog is a great place to keep up-to-date on the Prezi app and any updates that are made to it.  It also is a good resource for information on the current and future features of the Prezi for iPad app.  Below are a few items that I learned about from the blog recently:
  • The Prezi app does not yet have editor features.  It only allows you to show the Prezis you have created on your computer.
  • The current version of the app does not work with video files, YouTube video embeds, PDF, or SWF files.
  • The first time a Prezi is opened on your iPad it will take a little while to load, especially if it is a large file.  After the first run it will start to load much faster.
I hope you check out the Prezi iPad app and make sure to keep up with the latest Prezi news at the Prezi Blog.
