What app are you using to create the slideshow?

The slideshow feature in the Photos app, and the slide show you can do from the lock screen are local display features. They do not create a standalone slideshow file that can be exported.

Much obliged for the comment/welcome (I have all the iPad 2 manuals etc.)...am abt to use Xtrafolio to create the standalone file for export. Once this is done I imagine I can upload to the App store in some way?

That looks like a good app for maintaining a portfolio on the iPad, but I don't see anything on the App Store page or the developer site that leads me to believe it can export a standalone slide show. The only save feature mentioned is for backups.

You can not upload anything to the App Store from an app. The only way to put stuff on the App Store is to be a developer or hire one.

Well...one thing I have discovered is that a pro-app shop would charge 4K to create my slideshow app for me!

This I certainly can not afford so am considering the apple developer SDK route...this is something not particularly appealing but if I have no choice...I worry that I might not have the mental resources to do all the work myself.

Jordan

Depending on what you want to do, it might be easier to develop a web app. This is basically a special web page with HTML 5 code that acts like an app. People have the option of saving it to their Home Screen as a bookmark.

You don't need to be a developer or go though the App Store approval process to have a web app.

If all you want to do is reach a select audience that you can inform on your own, or you're prepared to do your own extensive marketing, this would probably work well for a slideshow style app.

Here is a site that collects web app links, so that you cans see some examples.

And some more.

You'll notice that some of them do away with Safari's tool bar, making them even look even more like a native app.

Absolute terrific information! Thanks very much...I am guessing that this thread might be of some help to others.

I'll be back when some web app progress has been made.
