LinkedIn Launches iOS App for SlideShare Presentation Service

Posted by: Romain Dillet @romainto In: News, Startups,Tech Crunch - LinkedIn today launched an iPhone version of its presentation-sharing platform SlideShare, which it acquired back in 2012. The app allows users to view and share presentations from their mobile devices on-the-go.

The new iOS app is a first for the company's professional network-focused service, as SlideShare has already been available on Android since last year.

SlideShare had previously released apps for Windows Phone, BlackBerry and even Symbian back in 2011. The addition of an iPhone version now means that users can access presentations from any major mobile platform except for one: Windows Phone still does not have a dedicated app.

The new iOS app includes features such as:

- A personalized feed of decks based on your interests

- Easy discovery and viewing of popular, trending, or recently uploaded slideshows

Users who are already signed-in to SlideShare via their LinkedIn account will be able to access these features without having to re-enter their login credentials.

In a statement about the launch, Deepak Alisabhoosh, product manager at LinkedIn for presentations, said: 'Today we're excited to bring our industry-leading presentation sharing experience to more professionals on-the-go with SlideShare's official iOS app.'

SlideShare has quickly become one of the most popular platforms for creating and sharing professional-grade slideshows. The service now hosts over 100 million new decks each month.
