Installed and registered without problems on a Win 8.1 Pro 64 bit system.

A Chinese company from Guangzhou. Testimonials exist - tested Miki Sever (CEO) - Tiktakti.

An interesting approach to presentation software. Makes it much more dynamic, than the (rather static) PowerPoint. With the risk to make a presentation too dynamic, e.g. the focus is on visual effects and not on the information behind.

Have a look at this example:

http://focusky.com/examples/apple-history/index.html?iframe=true&width=90%&height=100%

A modern interface opens. You have a number of presets for a presentation. I selected the "World Map". In the settings you can chance the Focusky information to your own copyright, you can add your own text "xxx is loading, please be patient, cinema starts right now.." or something similar more or less informative.

In my short test it worked as it claims. I have to add a WOW!. Something really new. At least for me. Not the 27th "We make your picture looking better than ever".

For me a keeper to have an alternative to other presentation software. Works as it should and the learning curve is not too steep.

Test it! This is something, which really makes fun. Remember this is a Flash application. The one, who want to see this, needs a Flash Player! With all ProAndCons.

Version 1.2.3 seems to be a rather early version - but I did not find any problem in my short test . This is not so often ;-)

Remember to disable the additional installed AutoUpdater.exe

Looks good to me...perfect for teachers and web marketers, with very advanced features such as the Zoom and Pan Effect and the ability to append nodes for each objects, so as to enable your audience to understand your concepts.

Users can also add various geometrical shapes in their slideshows (circles, rectangles, lines or arrows, as well as add an audio file before publishing their slideshow to EXE, ZIP or HTML format or even burn it to a CD for offline view.

Just silly people may give it 63% thumbs downs!

The only CONS for me is that is a FLASH app, so not really what I mean for SECURITY, not to mention that most portable devices out there (IOS devices, for instance) don't play flash at all.

Here is a superb note on FLASH from (late lamented) Steve Jobs, where he explained why Apple decided NOT to let iPads support Flash anymore:

For this reason, a FREE tool like SLIDEGO could actually be a better option if you are eager to reach users accessing the web by portable devices:

To grab your audience’s attention of by customizable mouse pointers, mouse clicks, visible keystrokes and a screen pen, see also:

I didn't find something in the settings, too. I simply renamed AutoUpdate.exe to AutoUpdate.xxx. This is my normal way. Not to delete the task, it can be usefully in the future, but to disable it. In a taskmanager, in an advanced firewall or through renaming...

Up and running without any problems in XP, opens up to a clean interface.
Renamed the auto updater program by putting an x in front of the extension, in essence renamed.

It's a program that looks like it has a great deal of potential, how much is something that will take some time to discover.
I've been looking into my family history and want to be able to present it in and interesting manner, this looks like it could be useful but have one concern that’s the longevity of Flash.

I'm certainly going to keep this and experiment with it, and no, I'm not going to complain about the price as obviously a great deal of thought and development has gone into producing it.
It has the potential to make much better presentations than PowerPoint in my opinion.

Prezi is a web-based alternative to today's GOTD which lets you create animated (zooming) presentations. It's completely free for presentations in the public domain, i.e. you only need a paid subscription if you want privacy. Prezi is very popular among teachers, and has a large public library of re-usable presentations which can be searched for ideas to create your own.
