What can you use the app for?
SlideRocket is a very popular online slide presentation software which can be used to not only display presentations, but also to create them. There are a number of different packages to suit the needs of many different people; there are even some free packages. SlideRocket uses flexible software to manage the creation of presentations. SlideRocket makes it really easy to create beautiful presentations full of transitions and effects. SlideRocket is a perfect tool for anyone, especially business people wanting to collaborate with colleagues and share information. SlideRocket is already available to everyone; you can register for a free account, or try a trial of the paid services for a month.
What is the history and popularity of the app?
Mitch Grasso and Mike Lingle created SlideRocket in 2006 with the intention of creating a utility which makes presentations fun and enjoyable. This application makes making presentations much easier than it normally is. In 2011 SlideRocket was acquired by VMware.
What are the differences to other apps?
SlideRocket is a presentation application which can be compared to PowerPoint; however unlike PowerPoint it can be run on any computer without needing to install anything. It’s a web based application which has a number of advantages. Because of this it can be run on virtually any computer regardless of operating system. Your presentations will be stored on your Amazon S3 account if you have one, which makes them very secure. This will make it much safer than having PowerPoint presentations saved on your computer.
How does the web app look and feel to use?
SlideRocket is an amazing application, it has many of the same features as PowerPoint however without the need to install software or buy expensive software. SlideRocket makes it easy, and even fun to create stunning, professional looking web applications that everyone can enjoy! The software also makes it possible to collaborate and work together with your colleagues on certain presentations. You can also use the platform to hold web based meetings while discussing your presentation and making improvements. It’s a very capable and easy to use software application that’s a delight to use. If you have PowerPoint presentations then you can use their import function to import them into SlideRocket, this isn’t always 100% successful but it’s normally pretty good.
How does the registration process work?
Slideocket account registration is one of the easiest sign up’s around, you just need to choose the account that you want to use, and then click the relevant links. There is no need to confirm any email addresses and you can use your account straight away. The paid subscriptions have 30 day trials so that you can make sure you get the most out of them.
What does it cost to use the application?
There are a number of different plans available depending on what you need to do with the software. The free plan includes 250MB of storage space for an unlimited number of presentations; both the free plan and individual account do not allow securing of presentations. The Business plan costs $20 per month, per user. Each user on a business plan is allowed 1GB of storage space and an unlimited amount of presentations. When on a free 30 day trial no matter what account you are using the limit will be set at 250MB, and there will be a maximum individual file size of 200MB on individual and business accounts, while there is a 15MB per file limit on the free account. The free 30 day trial accounts do not require a credit card to sign up, this means you can try them out without worrying about them charging you if you don’t end your trial on time.
Who would you recommend the application to?
SlideRocket is ideal for any business people looking for a quick and easy way to create a slideshow while still being able to collaborate and work together on it. SlideRocket also makes a great meeting platform and being able to look at a presentation and discuss it online works really well. The application is easy to use, and if you know your way around PowerPoint then you should be able to manage SlideRocket fairly easily.
