@slides is one of the coolest digital tools of any kind I've ever worked with. One day in and I'll never use Powerpoint again.

@SlidesApp is the best online presentation tool I've ever used. It is perfect at LaTeX rendering and minimalistic presentations.Recommended.

Conference time again, and again I’ve up’d my @SlidesApp account to Pro. Worth every penny for building presentations http://t.co/h8F3zgBGoz

Using @slides is amazing. I can control the "next slide" function with any device. and in speaker mode, even read my notes!
