It looks like a carbon copy of powerpoint, even the microscopy and colours.

@shiran_sanjeewa They have fewer features / more simple layout. Unless you've seen some version of PowerPoint that I haven't 👀

@shiran_sanjeewa Am not sure if Powerpoint has an App for Presentation on Android TV ? And don't think they were the first to implement "Realtime collaboration" ? This video showcases a little feature available in Show but not in other presentation tools ( would love to know if it is available ) :
Eventually could point out a lot of differences, but enough for now. User Experience of creating a presentation using Show is vastly different from Powerpoint , our aim is to build a contextual interface which stays closer to the user. Our aim is to let the focus stay on content and not on the tools. Basically , every product will have feature similarities with their competitors and when the competitor is so big , as in this case , such comparisons easily stem out. Show is built by a vibrant young team and with the features and updates lined up we are hopeful to make it much better , give it a try and send us your feedbacks and let us build an improved presentation world together.

@jkyaar Well, I think you are targeting powerpoint animators not the folks who use it daily to prepare lectures, sale figures and other office related work. animated paths are surely the most impressive thing on this update I guess :D

@neerajt4 Thanks for hunting Zoho Show - the presentation tool that brings slide authoring, collaboration, broadcasting, and publishing slides all under one roof.  Creating presentations can be time consuming, especially when you have a dozen formating options buried under countless drop-down menus. That's why we organized all our tools in an intuitive pane that appears only when the user needs it. This helps you stay focused on your stories, instead of searching for tools.  Users need tools to visualize ideas that match their imagination. That is why Show brings you custom text boxes, silhouettes, image filters, pre-defined layouts for charts and tables and provides a wide range of animating options along with path animation to build realistic stories. Show lets you work as a team , see changes in realtime and discuss around slides. Add images to your comments instead of long explanations. Collaborators can brainstorm and provide suggestions for any element on a slide. With meeting room displays going smart and wireless, Show has introduced an app that lets you stream presentation right on your Android TV. You can also control your session using the Show app for Android devices and deliver presentations.

@jkyaar All the best! 😊

Highly recommended tool of choice if you're presenting to a massive audience. Editing the same presentation by ~20 collaborators at once should work perfectly fine.

Pros:

Incredibly fast, great themes, easy to publish/broadcast, animations can be configured at any level of accuracy

Cons:

Doesn't work offline, and only online videos can be inserted into slides

Used Keynotes, Google Slide, PowerPoint online and new Zoho Show and frankly speaking I am very impressed with Zoho. Its simple, feature rich and intuitive. BTW is there any plan for Desktop version?

@mohan_kumar Thanks for the compliments. As of now we are concentrating on Web and mobile versions , a desktop version is not in our immediate priority list thou we have plans to build one , however it is difficult to guarantee any release date.

If you hate Microsoft products and still wants the same features from someone else, go for it.

Pros:

None

Cons:

None

The idea of the product is great. The product itself needs improvement though 😮
