### "Simple & Professional Content Creation Tool" — 5.0/5

> **Amr** | *14 April 2022* | Higher Education | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Microsoft Sway is an easy-to-use application for content creation. It has pre-designed layouts and a rich assets library that makes it easy to create engaging content. It doesn't require previous experience in design or content creation software. Also, It's effective for business presentations and students' e-portfolio.
> 
> **Cons**: I find Sway a bit slow when I embed it in web pages using the iframe sharing method. It takes more time to load compared to the entire web page elements.
> 
> Microsoft Sway helps me easily create impressive presentations on the cloud. It saves me time when I create content like a digital story or a presentation using the Start from a topic feature. It allows me to choose a topic then Sway suggests content and information around it from the internet. 

Also, I use it as a learning activity tool for students to empower them to express their thoughts by creating digital content and sharing it on the internet.
