i have to make a slide for a project in school and there are SO MANY BUGS OMG! when i try to change a text to fit the text box, i try to click off and it doesn't work at all i have to click the check mark button in the corner. When i do hit the check mark button, it ALWAYS exits the app and i have to click my slide again.
Every time you leave the app to do something else, especially on an iPad, like finding info or data and coming back to the app it just freezes and you cant do anything until you exit the presentation that you are in and come back into it. It is so annoying when having to do assignments for school or something that require research and you come back to put it in the slides and the thing just freezes and you have to sit there playing with the screen for 10+ seconds just to get back into the slides. Terrible app, would not recommend however not many other free options…
I love google slides. It is very easy to use and user friendly.
So I have a small amount of storage but I still have 7 GB with one file with 2 slides and it’s saying I don’t have enough storage
Love it just wish I could add music or a video to my slide
Mobile inaccessible, this app is trying to ragebait me. It took me hundreds of taps just to click to a certain note. Terrible
I used Google Slides on my computer!
Easy to navigate and retrieve documents.
This is horrible there is no proper formate you can’t but a new background or type correctly add images add links there is practically nothing you can do on a iPad or phone you need a computer it’s so exclusive
When u go in there’s not all features like on website but other than that it good
even though it does freeze from time to time it’s a good app to use when making projects!
I am so disappointed at this app! You can’t even add a background without waving to look up how! i have been trying to put together a successful presentation for a few days, but NO I can’t find how to add transitions,backgrounds, and even stickers(oh how i looooove the stickers) if ur gonna make an app for iPads (from apple and NOT Samsung) you better make it good like a computer or Chromebook I use my mom’s laptop and its NOT the same [for some reason] I can’t add a litteral backround 😡!!!!! Make it better or i am deleting this (btw i am on an iPad so if it walks on some other device i AM OUTTTTTT) pls respond soooon i get impatient. - a girl who is confused and angry at this
This app is extremely hard to use. It’s so hard to copy and paste things onto slides, change the background, and customize things. The main reason is because it is too hard to locate all the tools. This is very different compared to the desktop version, making it hard to use on mobile. I would not use this on mobile and instead just use the desktop version.
Doesn’t respond in iOS especially when in partial window mode
I love this app
