Focusky Editor's Review

Teachers, professors or even corporate sector professionals often need to capture attention of viewers and present an idea through visual demonstrations. Nothing works better than an immersive audio visual presentation. Of course, you need communication skills along with expressive body language but a well made presentation is the main weapon in this case. While Windows users can opt for PowerPoint and several third party alternatives, Mac users can choose Focusky. This feature rich presentation software is easy to use and offers versatility to create engaging presentations.

It runs on Windows Xp or later versions. You will need Adobe Flash Player and Adobe Air to use the app on your system.

Focusky is a tad different compared to other general presentation apps. It has a sleek and uncluttered UI. The necessary tools can be accessed easily to make an engaging presentation. Beginners will find the simplicity for adding images, shapes amazing. Unlike other presentation apps, Focusky does not have a slide based workflow. It is based on a path that glides through the presentation.

The app’s top toolbar lets you use clipboard functions, insert images, frames and text in the presentation. There are 3 tab ribbons under which most editing tools are available. The left pane is ideal for editing presentation path. The entire workflow makes editing a presentation and publishing it hassle free.

The app’s Theme slide sheet lets you customize and alter color scheme of a presentation. When you click on a text box, its Text floating panel comes in front. You can tinker with settings like formatting, alignment, transparency level and font etc. The inbuilt shapes library has plenty of simple to complex geometric shapes. Apart from shapes, you can insert plenty of media elements like Vimeo clips and flash animations. You can also embed sound clips and local video clips.

Focusky has a preview mode. If you are happy with the preview, the presentation can be published as Windows or Mac application, archive or web page. There are inbuilt sharing options for Google+, LinkedIn and Facebook.

One potential drawback of Focusky is its resource hogging nature. Even in newer hardwares, it tends to consume a lot of CPU and memory. Owing to varying flash support in mobile devices, especially those running on iOS, Focusky digital presentation is incompatible on such devices. The company website has a FAQ section, tutorials and a product manual.

Positive Points:
•    Sleek, intuitive UI.
•    Wide media formats can be imported.
•    Path based presentation adds to versatility.
•    Excellent online sharing options.

Negative Points:
•    Relies on Adobe AIR.
•    Can consume lots of resources.
•    No mobile device compatibility.

Conclusion:
Focusky is an incredibly simple and feature rich presentation app that can cater to needs of beginners to intermediate level users. Its path based workflow makes creating and editing compelling presentation easier. You can use plenty of media content and publish the presentations to a number of online platforms easily. The preview mode is pretty handy. However, the app does come with few glitches. The dependence on Adobe Air and Flash player can make some users frown. The same factor is responsible for its incompatibility with several mobile devices. It can also be resource hungry. If you overlook these flaws, it can prove to be a worthy alternative to Microsoft PowerPoint and Apple Keynote.

Rating: 3.5/5
