Prezi is a well-known app that is great for making so-called non-linear presentations. You won’t see traditional slides with this program, either. Instead, you’ll find a massive canvas that you can fill with your content and jump from place to place during the presentation. However, the templates provided don’t offer many editing options. Plus, jumping around the screen may cause motion sickness for some viewers.

Pros

• Intuitive interface

• Dynamic non-linear presentations

Cons

• Lack of customization options

• No traditional slides

• Animation effects that can cause motion sickness

This program is great for anyone using multiple media formats in their presentations (i. e., PowerPoint slides, movie clips, photos, websites, PDF files, etc.).

• Ease of use

Cons

• Inability to create slides from scratch

• No support for macOS
