By Enid Hinton


PowerPoint still holds a significant market share among applications used in making presentations. This, however, has not locked out other application developers from creating excellent tools to simplify presentation, pitching of ideas and graphics. Thus, what is better than PowerPoint for presentations in 2015? To answer this question, it is valuable to look at the options presented by emerging competitors.

Powtoon- the app provides a simplified storyline that makes ideas and facts easy to follow and understand. It comes with additional graphics that cannot be compared to what MS Office offers. Animation inspires your audience and helps to create an intriguing performance. The final slide is easy to tap and convert into a video that can play on multiple operating systems and platforms.

Prezi- it is an ideal app for making non-linear presentations. It works by tapping the graphics you need to highlight and zooming them into active view. Everything is visible on the screen for easy picking. Ideas that are not linearly related are best presented using this software. It offers quick access without the need for back and forth movement.
