Michael did respond later that evening and suggested not letting the device go to sleep while it syncs. It took a long time an at one point I just shut off the sync because I didn’t need a hundred photos of my kids in my portfolio.
Once I got home I thought I would give it another try and it worked on my slightly faster connection at home. After an hour I gave up and wrote Michael for some support. I was trying to sync with my personal Picasa account that had several albums and hundreds of pictures stored on it. I was at work on a wireless network that is a broadband connection but not the fastest.
This happened to me several times after I bought the application. Now if you read the reviews in the iTunes store several people complain about the app crashing and not working. Its not hard to do and is free to make it useful you need to take the time to learn the Picasa application or on the Mac get a plug-in for iPhoto to easily upload the photos. There are several problems with Portfolio, it assumes you have a Google account and everything you need to upload to that account. The interface is easy to use and creates an attractive slide show. The user can click on a picture to enlarge then scroll through the album or start a slide show. Then its ready to show and the user chooses an album and the program tiles the photos to create an attractive front page to the album. You can then delete the albums you don’t want and turn on or off captions.
It takes the photo albums you have stored on a Google Picasa Web albums account and loads them on the iphone. The app is designed to turn that device into a small version of your portfolio. Portfolio costs $4.99 and is available on the iPhone/iPod touch. Michael makes a number of apps geared for the theatre professional and I wanted explore the concept of having a digital portfolio on the same device you make call. I had been wanting to get the Portfolio app on the iPhone by Michael Zinman for some time.
