Stunning Charts & Graphs
★ Haiku Deck now includes the ability to quickly create flawlessly beautiful charts and graphs. Haiku Deck 2.0 features 3 varieties: pie charts, bar graphs, and stat charts, which make it easier than ever before to tell the story behind the numbers.
★ Touch to adjust: No need for linked spreadsheets or complicated formulas; just drag each bar or pie piece with your finger to adjust. It feels magical!
★ Automatic color palettes: Each Haiku Deck theme applies a coordinating chart color palette, for a beautifully cohesive look.
★ Tap for emphasis: In slideshow mode, simply tap a section of pie or a bar to highlight specific data points as you talk.

New Lists!
★ Bullets and numbers: Now you can add more detail to your Haiku Deck slides with bulleted or numbered lists of up to 5 items.
★ Automatic formatting: Haiku Deck adjusts the line spacing, text size, and placement for optimum layout--no wrestling with formatting options.
★ Custom styling: Each Haiku Deck theme carries through to the bullet and number styles for an extra level of polish.
