Title: Portfolio app for iPad
Post by: SeanBK on September 10, 2011, 08:38:22 pm

The current issue of 'Pdn' has "Top Ten Portfolio apps for iPad". I am not sure which would be the best, so I thought of asking you guys. Any thoughts?
  I thought 'Pixelwand's Valise' & 'Xtrafolio' seems to be quite good.
   Any thoughts would be nice as I think iPad2 can handle & display a fairly decent quality, but it sure can be darn convenient.

I'm rather happy with Photo manager Pro.

I paid the few bucks for it.
I like the folders the copy, the titling. Only thing that keeps me from loving the app, is the splash screen "Linkus", which I was hoping it was editable, but I don't think so.
In slide show you can have music if you want with a few options for transition. choice of showing captions, shuffle, time set for each slide, show metadata, and filename,..Even has a password protect if you want. Then it also has search capabilities, Fav list.  So if there is a feature this doesn't have, I'd like to know what it is in case I am missing something :-)

Thanks Nick.
    I have been eyeing 'Foliobook' & 'Foliolink'. Foliolink seems rather expensive, while Foliobook u sugest seems doable. I have a custom designed website > vintagecarphotography dot com, but it is a flash site, so no go on iPads. :(
   I guess Foliobook probably will have to do for now.  Thank you for your input.

Sounds reasonable but not being able to delete "linkus' flash screen may be a deal breaker, but will check it out.
 Thank u.

Foliozo also looks pretty sleek:

Second the vote for Foliobook. And not the least for their responsive support.

What about the free Zenfolio iPad app?

(You will need a payed Zenfolio account.)
