★★★★★ "Horrible glitchy app. Did an entire PowerPoint and ready for work and was about to export and it glitched out on me. The app got stuck in buffering mode so I reset the app and the entire project was gone. I just ended up deleting the app. What a waste of time." - R6ninja

Horrible glitchy app
Did an entire PowerPoint and ready for work and was about to export and it glitched out on me. The app got stuck in buffering mode so I reset the app and the entire project was gone. I just ended up deleting the app. What a waste of time.
Copilot garbage
No one wants your Copilot garbage stop forcing it.
Useless for enterprise
More trouble than it is worth. Awkward UI, assuming I can even navigate the authentication and posture assessment checks, which are hit or miss for enterprise users. Microsoft owns everything and this still feels broken and poorly thought through.
This product does not measure up to MS PowerPoint for Mac
PowerPoint for iPad is a lousy version of PowerPoint for Mac. A wholly insufficient product
Notes
Can’t print notes
Super slow
Takes long to load, very glitchy!
П
Отвратительно , после обновления стерлись все призентации. Пытаюсь составить через поддержку , а там такой функции даже нет
Pop up suck
Can your human programmers actually learn how to program the AI to be smarter or is that they are too dumb? No one, literally no one, likes the “Got It” tips or the constant interruptions. We paid for the app to be productive unlike your programmers
Not quite there
Too much functionality is missing in the iOS app, relative to the desktop app.
Es mierda
Es una mierda
Signing in
This makes me sign in way too frequently and it takes ages
Closed suddenly without save my work

Horrible
I was pressing the button and it told me I was not human. I pressed it multiple times. I have no idea why it’s telling me that I’m not human cause I’m clearly human one star if I have three words to describe this app, I would say horrible, terrible stupid
I need the designer for free
So i am doing a Project so we could bring our ipads,phones, laptops, and more so i want my design on the first slide for free, so i tell my mom and she says no, now i did this same project in 2 grade on the computer but when you have it on you iPad (or something else) it does not work and I don’t like it because its due date is May 20th
Literally terrible
Works, sometimes. Just a buggy piece of software that I would never use, if I had a choice.
Newest Update Ruined Writing On Slides
I’ve been teaching on my iPad with PowerPoint for years. It’s always been rough, but I get through it. The newest update, however, broke something. Navigating with my pencil doesn’t work, I can’t pull up the pen settings easily, and the location to tape to move slides is different so I keep moving forward when I’m just trying to write on the slide. I think I’m just going to try a different app for teaching now.
Inconsistent Capability to Save as PDF file
Numerous times I am unable to export a PowerPoint file to PDF format. This is a feature within PowerPoint. Screen shows “working on It.’ After about 2 to 5 minutes, it comes saying “unable to do this action right now. Try again later.” Try again later and still have the same problem. Big waste of time. Usually have to turn Apple IPad 13 tablet off and then turn it on again for it to work. Sometimes this still does not the solve the problem. In addition, there are other features of PowerPoint that do not work such as line spacing, changing the starting number for number and bullet feature. Just a few of the problems that I am experiencing with PowerPoint
Worst
Worst app ever
The video is not working
Videos that i add them stop after a few seconds
Difficult to use on iPad
This app erased all of my progress for no reason all I did was log out of the app not even logout just get out of the app for a couple of minutes and when I went back to it, my slide that I was working on was erased I couldn’t even go back to the history and restore. It was not allowing me. I think it was because I’m using an iPad for this, but they should work on iPad users because it’s very confusing and erases your your data.
Stop asking me to rate apps

Why
Can’t add photo album on iPad, can’t add videos on pc, can’t do looping presentation on iPad, can’t export file to other app that will. Must everything be a fight with 365 apps?
👺
ni za kurca
Crash problem
It crashing for no reason
No recording
Limited features not the same as desktop
Half baked glitchy software
There are a multitude of missing features provided on PC version, nothing syncs correctly, you make notes on a slide on PC and want to read them on an iPad? Nah those notes don’t exist. The controls are sloppy and the software is half baked just go on PC what a waste of my time
ОТВРАТИТЕЛЬНО
Отвратительная интуитивно непонятное приложение. почему чтобы изменить размер текста мне нужен разобраться в дебрях каких-то??? зачем вечно выскакиваю щие окно с платными функциями? Почему обозначение кнопок и важнейших функций невозможно найти на главном экране? что это за позор
Horrible
La peor aplicación que he usado, no se si soy yo o que, que batallo demasiado con todo. Quiero mover unas letras pero de la nada se me ponen al revés, qué con eso??? Las imágenes que no se acomodan bien, en general, esta horrible; nunca había batallado tanto con una aplicación de presentaciones, como esta!!!
this app sucks yall gotta lock in
let me tell you why is app is cheeks. it’s constantly crashing on ipad, when clicking on text, the keyboard wont load, glitches when pasting images! this is the worst ppt experience ive ever experienced!! and word is like 10x worse and microsoft needs to fix their shi asap x
Trash

Saving
I find it so infuriating that the powerpoints never save. There have been so many times i’ve made sure to back up my progress, and then have gone back into the app and nothing saved. This happens to my peers constantly too and it’s beyond frustrating. With being connected to wifi or cellular data THERE SHOULD BE NO REASON SOMETHING DOES’NT AUTO SAVE.
Dev team should work for once
Removing the option on iOS to show the presentation w/ speaker nots is core. The manager of the group that singed off should be fired for gross negligence of customer workflows.
PowerPoint on iPad
This is very hard to use, very clunky, lots of glitches
Will not work on iPad
I pay for a month subscription for Office 365 Family, but cannot log into that subscription on my iPad. It keeps trying to log in to a free version that doesn’t allow saving or editing. Microsoft help is not helpful at all.
Ruined
Microsoft ruined a great iPadOS app. Why do they force one drive? Why does it take 3 windows to edit a file? Why is app response so slow? Very disappointed.
Logged out
Constantly logged out. Hate this.
Aynı hesap fakat para istiyor
Benim eski ipadimde sorunsuz çalışan power point aynı maili bağlamama rağmen para istiyor
Not User Friendly
Changes to the app format and user tools have removed the ease of use and function friendly nature of the app. I was a heavy app user. The integration of AI and “intuitive” tools have created a great deal of frustration as this is no longer user friendly or an enjoyable experience. I want simple functionality on the app not whatever this now is!

Doesn’t send
What I create isn’t shared like I created it.
Need additional time
Give us some time asking for opinion
Freezes
This horrible app keeps freezing when I’m working on my project, please fix it noobs.
Interruption
I am just starting and you are already asking if I am enjoying Microsoft Power Point. Can’t you let me finish first?
Pain
Asks me to restore a purchase and then doesn’t let me even though I have a subscription.
Niet downloaden op een iPad!
Download dit niet op een iPad! Het is echt onhandig, en hetgeen wat ik op een computer in 1 uur kon doen, duurt hierop 5uur. Raar maar waar.
Some of the worst usability of any app in recent memory
First, you have to wade through efforts to “help” you by throwing options in your face that you don’t need. Finally, when you get to the point when you try to do something simple, it’s a nightmare to figure out how to do it, even as an experienced PowerPoint user in Windows.
Create a text box. Put an image next to it. Surround it with a box. Duplicate the group on a single slide. Some of the most basic tasks in the PC app becomes baffling in this iOS version.
Plus, after I finally created the one slide, the app then discarded all my work, returning me to the default new slide.
Not the first time I’ve had a frustrating time with this version of PP. Probably the last. And again, I’ve been using the regular version heavily for many years.

Fix add audio
You can only add audio from apple music. You cant record audio
Formatting pisses me off
Couldn’t download it through the app. Had to open the browser, which was the only reason why I installed this. To avoid the browser. And to piss me off even more, it decided to add a random widget before I got to uninstall, and it moved all my apps
Easy
Great to review my PowerPoint presentation while relaxing at the beach!
Freezing
Everytime i do something color text related, it freezes the app which causes me to refresh my app which annoys me.
