Not all SlideRocket features are supported on the iPad and iPhone while other features are partially supported but behave differently on the iPad and iPhone than on a PC. It is important to take these differences into consideration when designing presentations to be viewed on these devices. A complete list of support differences between PC and iPad/iPhone playback can be found below. If a feature is not listed it is fully supported.
