Think you can’t use your tablet to share screens with your co-workers? Think again. There are plenty of apps available right now that let you share your reports, images, documents and videos with co-workers and friends. With these screen-sharing apps, you won’t even miss that heavier laptop. Whatever screen sharing it can do, your tablet is now able to do, too. But which screen-sharing apps for iOS should you download? Miguel Leiva-Gomez, a writer for the tech site smallbiz technology, recommends three that should handle all of your screen-sharing needs.
Join.me
Leiva-Gomez starts his review with join.me for good reason. Simply put, it’s one of the better screen-sharing apps for iOS currently on the market. You will, however, be required to pay for the program’s “pro” version to use it. Once you pay out the monthly fee of just under $20, though, you’ll have the ability to share your screen with co-workers and friends with ease. The application also comes with such goodies as Internet calling, instant chat and file sharing.
Air Sketch
Leiva-Gomez states that this app will turn your tablet into a whiteboard with such features as multiple pages. Users can use images from their own libraries as the background in their whiteboard and they can rely on one of five different drawing tools. Users can also use Air Sketch to open PDFs. The application displays everything in real time, creating an environment well suited to collaboration.
Conference Pad
The Conference Pad completes Leiva-Gomez’s screen-sharing all-stars, and with good reason. It is a no-frills screen-sharing app, but it’s also a solid one. The application is particularly impressive when it comes to zoom. Users can zoom into any part of their documents or images without sacrificing an iota of image quality. And just like the other screen-sharing apps that Leiva-Gomez highlights, it’s an easy one to understand and use, meaning that tablet owners will be sharing their screens almost immediately.
