While not all of them are great, ones like Parcel, Celestial, Ion, and Mesh are all really nice templates that you can use to create professional-looking presentations. There are 25 built-in templates you can start with. If you start with PowerPoint on the iPad and want to begin building presentations from scratch, the iPad version gives you everything you need to start creating right away. Apparently productivity starts at 10.1” in Microsoft’s world - not that we’re complaining. If you have a 9.7” iPad, iPad Mini, or even an iPhone, then you can use the full version of PowerPoint (and all other Office apps) without an Office 365 subscription. Of note, Microsoft only requires iPads over 10.1” to pay up to get editing functionality. Whether this is a fair price is a matter we can only leave to you, but the software package on offer, and especially the 1TB of cloud storage that works across iOS, Android, macOS, Windows, and Linux, makes this a pretty compelling subscription in our eyes. An Office 365 subscription comes with the full Microsoft Office suite of apps as well was 1TB of OneDrive storage, so there is quite a bit of value there. If you want to edit or create presentations from the iPad though, you’re going to need to subscribe to Office 365, which runs $6.99/month or $70/year for individuals on up to 5 devices.
