iA Presenter: A presenting app for people who don’t just want to get through presenting, but prefer to speak to an audience, move them, and create understanding. When creating presentations, Presenter encourages you to focus on what we want to say. Design and imagery are used not to distract but to attract attention to the story you’re telling. Visuals illustrate what you mean, when words cannot convey the message as well as an image or video. In the creation process, Presenter frees you from the burden of pretending to be a 90s graphic designer, eliminates procrastination and dramatically reduces the time you need to create a presentation. Presenter frees our audience from the prison of pretended attention. See also: Wall of text
