Keynote is a very good piece of software

I find keynote to be an indispensible piece of software. There are a couple of things that make me feel that way:. 1) you don't need to click on the edge of the text box to drag it. It's incredibly intuitive this way. 2) The equations being done in latex are AMAZING, I can never go back any other way of doing this. 3) Handling media and images is great, you can readily import/export images and data while preserving the resolution and format. Even large things. That said, there are a few things I would like to see change. 1) I'd like to make it easier to remove the "autosize text". I loathe that this is a default feature in powerpoint and it's always a hassle to turn it off when importing into keynote. 2) I would like it if nested bullets kept the formatting as defined in the template. Currently, nested bullets maintain constant formatting as the 1st level ones, unless you specifically change the format on a set of bullets. 3) Sometimes there is an inconsistent application of a template formatting to a slide, where something that should be a title is not formatting the way I expect. Overall, an amazing piece of software where I would hate my job if I had to use the alternatives.

Exceptional platform that needs to update features

Kaynote's terrific. However, with Figma, Canva, and the Adobe Suite out there, it seems like it's time to add more features and design tools. For instance, Figma has the ability to add features with plug-ins, e.g., free illustrations. And others have easier-to-accomplish presentation animations - even partially automated. Also, with the rise of AI, it would be great to have Keynote assist more in making presentations. I know this is a big one, but that's something Canva's already doing. All of the Apple apps could use a similar refresh that helps make them easier and faster to use. I know Apple's likely working on it -- I guess I'm just saying I'm looking forward to (i.e., sincerely hoping for!...) a bigger evolution in Keynote and other Apple apps soon. I don't want to spend the time just complaining about what's not there. Most importantly, I've done very good work with Keynote. That's the bottom line. But that's exactly why I'd like to use it for more tasks.

Essential in presenting scientific research with one minor defect

I have recently started using Keynote for my presentations as a substitute for Latex and Powerpoint. While the output in Keynote looks much better compared to the previously mentioned softwares, I have been suffering from a defect which might be happening to other users too. Its regarding dragging objects around on a slide. Lets say I write an equation using Latexit or say copy and paste an image from my computer, it sometimes get “stuck” and won’t move around when selected and dragged around. It will eventually but I have no clue as to the origin of the problem. This is time consuming and annoying while editing presentations at the last minute or in general. I haven’t found a good solution to this problem online. The typical solution suggested is to use coordinates which works but sometimes and more often you would like to place the object according to your liking which is difficult to judge from the coordinates. Compared to Keynote, it is seamless in Powerpoint to drag and drog items. Barring this issue, Keynote is a wonderful software, easy to start with and highly useful in presenting your research anywhere.
