WALTHAM, Mass. — March 14, 2012 — Brainshark, Inc., the leader in online and mobile presentations, today announced the availability of an updated version of its free SlideShark iPad app, available in Apple’s App Store. Solving the PowerPoint-on-iPad problem, SlideShark’s latest version includes the ability to share PowerPoint presentations from the iPad that can be viewed on-demand by audiences on nearly any device – including computers, tablets and smartphones.

Additional new features include content management and search capabilities as well as support for new file types.

• Track results – Instant email notifications alert users when their shared presentations are viewed. SlideShark Plus and Team Edition users also receive details on who viewed and which slides were viewed.
• Re-order slides – The ability to re-order slides by tapping and moving them to the desired location lets users tailor presentations for specific audiences, complementing SlideShark’s existing hide/un-hide slides feature.  
• Search for presentations – Users have easy, instant access to specific content by using the new search functionality to locate presentations in their account.
• Select favorites – By tapping the star icon next to a presentation, users are able to select and filter their favorites for convenient access to the presentations they use most often.  
• Delete content – Users can delete files from their online account from the iPad, freeing up additional storage space as needed.
• Expanded file support – In addition to supporting .ppt and .pptx files, the app now supports .pps and .ppsx file types. 

SlideShark’s multi-user version, SlideShark Team Edition, which provides team-wide access to content and valuable usage analytics, also has updated features, including allowing administrators to control team members’ ability to share presentations. In addition, administrators now also have a link within the app for convenient access to the account administration console.

“The updated version of SlideShark is game-changing because it allows mobile professionals not only to view the PowerPoints they rely on, but also to share and track presentations from the iPad while ensuring they play properly for others, regardless of  device,” said Brainshark CEO Joe Gustafson. “By offering on-demand viewing and tracking capabilities, users can easily access and share important business content anytime, anywhere – including before a meeting for preparation purposes or after a meeting as a leave-behind – and also obtain valuable insight into how their content is being consumed for effective and timely follow-up.”
