Google Slides 4+

Multiple photo uploads at a time would make it better.

I use google slides for all of my classroom presentations. I also have my students use google slides to keep track of the artwork like a ongoing portfolio. The app makes it easy to drop single photos into the slide show without having to download photos or email them to yourself first. My only complaint about the app is that you cannot upload more than one photo at a time from your camera roll. I take a lot of photos of artwork for my students and shuffling through hundreds of photos to get to things I took months ago can take a long time-it would be so helpful to be able to click on several photos at a time.
I do the majority of my editing of my slides on a computer, I could edit from my phone but it is easier to fine tune things on a full computer. I primarily use the app to transfer the photos to my slides.

Too many bugs on iPad & iPhone

I make a lot of things on google slides, so I thought the iPhone version would help me out… WRONG! This version of the software is very very buggy and limited! You can’t search the web to find photos, you have to screenshot them yourself! So many good features on the desktop version are thrown away for the App Store version!!! I would think that this was a rip-off made my different people if I didn’t know better!! Don’t get me started on the bugs, because they are horrible. Sometimes your work doesn’t save, which means you need to do everything AGAIN, which isn’t even that bad compared to clicking on things. If you click on something, for example, a shape, it’ll click on something far below or higher then where your finger actually was!! The worst part of all of this is the fact that they don’t even read any of these reviews! None of these problems have been fixed!!! So, to the person reading this I’d like to say, DON’T WASTE YOUR STORAGE ON THIS APP!!!!

Update: So for the first time ever, a few things were fixed. Luckily enough, I actually did get a response, and they have fixed a few bugs and added a few new features. HOWEVER they still need to fix a lot of things and add more features

Developer Response ,

Hi there. We suggest you refresh the app: Settings - Slides - Background App Refresh. Also, thanks for sharing your valuable feedback. We'll pass this along to our team. Appreciate it!

Not optimized for the iPad.

You cant change the background color, only the theme, you have limited color options for text and gradient. No, you can't create your own colors. You can't animate text and its hard to put pictures and text on different layers(ie. send to back/send to front). This feels like something to be used alongside the computer version instead of standalone. I only have my iPad for school work and i haven't been supplied technology so im just stuck. I have to ask other people who have computers to borrow theirs just to change the colors on my background and create custom colors and add them to my theme. THIS IS AN ACCESORY NOT A FULL ITEM. The thing is, this could be easily fixed. This worst laptops can run google sliders so Performance issues isn't the issue. A phone or an iPad, especially the big and chunky ones, can totally handle a fully optimized google slides. Proof? Canva and powerdirector. They have so much stuff and great functionality, but most importantly, they have a fully optimized service that's the same on the ipad and computer(except for the fact that some of the functions are different). This is just pure laziness, and im sick of it.
