This is my frist post to this forum and I hope to learn a lot.
Especially I'd like to know which app is best for viewing Powerpoint presentions including music and video clips.

Hi Welzijn - welcome to the forum!

I'm a retired academic radiologist and used PowerPoint presentations for my lectures when teaching - on my iPad, Apple's Keynote app imports PPT files easily for the basic configurations - NOW, it certainly is not as poweful as the desktop versions so some formatting & features may be lost - concerning music & video, you may have to check the features and listen to comments from others regarding these more advanced needs. The app is $10, so not a major investment for a test; now there are other 'office suites' that will allow using PPT files, and a number have been reviewed on this forum - SO, you may need to do some more research & searching - good luck in your choice!
