Slides - Presentation Remote for Android
Very good idea but unfortunately need to do more R&D. it failed to pair up with my phone.
Great little app for driving presentations from your phone. I'm on a Linux Ubuntu machine and this is fast and easy. Bonus points for having speakers notes!
Just getting me confused on setup.
Doesnt work
Great idea, very poor UX
won't connect to network to give you the code you need to use the app....good concept, but useless at this time. sammy note5
The app did as I titled this review, i did every thing the app said to do when setting it up and it still doesn't work

Its pretty useless unless used in a private place. If you're presenting something at work or at school, you can't connect to their WiFi network. Also controlling stuff from the PC, not the other way around. Its kind of stupid to stream the images to the PC, just uses excess data. Love the idea, but needs alot of improvement.
I have a galaxy note 2 and it doesn't run. I guess my device is good enough for that.
This appears to be such a cool app, however I am unable to use it due to Chrome update. Help please!!!
Scrollable speaker notes would be highly appreciated.
Rubish just crashes every time after install
Not working correctly
Love the app. Great idea. Outstanding customer service. My emails were answered right away and a temporary solution to my problem found. I was assured a fix update will follow soon.
I found this by accident while building a presentation for a conference. It was really cool but my slide notes didn't display fully and the resolution was super blurry! I asked their support forum if this was an issue on my end or theirs, and was immediately asked about my devices so an update could be made. In 3 days, just in time for my presentation, the update was released and I was able to "oooh and ahhh" my audience of faculty it. Now it just needs GSlides animation support!
Did what it promised. There are bugs, yes, but the value is well worth the install. Run by real people who talk to you when you're in doubt. Recommended.
I am a full stack developer and I am testing your site out and I know how hard it is to develop for these tablets and to try to make them work on all of the other tablets across the board but you guys still got a little ways to go. The theme is wonderful it's just that the buttons have to be pushed sometimes 10 times to make it actually triggering event and then there's just a bunch of other stuff but I think you guys could wrap it up in about a month are so if you got a group of four or five people.
Amazing, just what I needed.
easy to use.
I really wanted to use this but you'd have to be insane to insert your google sign in details on that login page where not even something as basic as the URL can be checked to ensure this is a genuine google sign in. I honestly believe that this app should be pulled from the market until this is changed. Even if it is legit, it sets a bad precedent by making those who have actually entered their details believe that this sort of behaviour is okay (when it is far from okay).
Totally safe app. Nay-sayers go away! Of course you have to sign into drive to access your drive files! Duh! As soon as the bugs are worked out, this will be an awesome app for chrome users! When I'm able to successfully use it for my work presentations, I will come back and rate higher.
Weird, frustrating bug: while my phone displayed Slide 1 of my Google Presentation, the computer started at Slide 33. As I advanced the slides in order on the phone, it advanced randomly through the slides in my deck. This problem occurred on both decks I tested. Totally unusable. The UX is poor and all of the swipe motions in the app have a sludgy feel to them.
A great little app but the animations on my Google Slides don't work which is a real shame. If they sort that out I'd give it 5 starts.
If it worked at all. I have had no luck getting it to present my slides from my phone. Entered code, which did not work for me.
I use this for most of my highschool IB presentations and it really helps.

I hate this thing. It makes everything a pain to work with!
Cool app! Will you be supporting pdf presentations in the future? I need an alternative for when there is no WiFi
Every time I got on it would kick me off
Shows white screen only
Iam happy use this app .
This app is great at what it does. I just found it and used it for a school presentation today. It worked flawlessly! :D My only complaint is the slides ViewPager in the app. It's very laggy and sometimes not responsive.
The video and description looks very interesting and promising. But before using the apps, it requires a login/password from google account. This doesn't look the normal way to authorise apps to access to my account. So I stop my experience with this app.
Works well on home and work networks, keep your mobile device and presentation device on same network to work well.
Love the new version
Main screen is just the logo with a link to what might be a Google login page, but who knows? That's not the right authentication workflow on android, and I don't trust it. EDIT: I *do* want to use my Google account, just not via an unverified Google login page. It's a phisher's wet dream- no URL bar, no 2-factor, no explanation that login is required, no attempt to use the account(s) on the phone, no suggestion to setup an app-specific password. It's just really bad UX.
Takes ages to load presentation, and then the pages don't sync between the screen and the phone.
Boo!
