Photographers - Adobe or other app for offline client presentations / portfolio on iPad

Question

I'm looking for the best option to show clients my work during in-person meetings on my iPad, lunch and coffee meetings where I can't rely on the restaurants WiFi or hot spotting to my phone. I have a lot of work that isn't on my website, more in-depth work on various projects and work that I can't have on my website because of various commercial restrictions, etc.

How are you showing your work to clients on the iPad?
Is Foliobook a good option since it became Foliobook 4?

Are there other good portfolio app options other than Foliobook 4?

Are there any options within the Adobe ecosystem? It would be ideal to use an Adobe product as I have the full Adobe subscription.

I have most of my finished photographs (fully retouched), in Adobe Creative Cloud in folders (portraits, healthcare, lifestyle, food etc), so ideally, I like to pull images or access Creative Cloud to populate whatever app I'm using to show clients work.

I don't use Lightroom (I use Capture One as my RAW converter), but still have access to Lightroom on the iPad if that's an good option for showing work.

I think Adobe Portfolio is more of an alternate website than an in-person portfolio app, or is it(?), or are there any other Adobe apps that fit the bill?

Many thanks for your thoughts and opinions!

Great information and suggestions folks!! I actually ended up going with two options that I'll refine and adapt.

My first was to use the iPad Portfolio App as a "big dump" portfolio. I won't just hand this over to client, but if there's a particular project they respond to or a particular style that may have application in a project they're working on, say B+W portraits, I can go to the B+W Portraits gallery in the Portfolio App and show them more examples there.

The second option was to make a tight, focused Overview in Apple Keynote of 40 images, which approximates the number of images in a printed portfolo. This is highly curated and laid out, with careful consideration made to image flow. With this I have 3 options to show. I or the viewer can tap the screen to move between images, easily going forward or backwards within Keynote. The disadvantage I found is that it's very easy to jump back into the edit screen of Keynote doing that. However, you can also export a PDF of the presenation and view in Acrobat (also Books, which is a suggestion I'll check out later - thanks!), or as a movie, essentially a slideshow. Personally I wasn't keen on the movie as it wasn't quite as easy as I'd hoped to stop the movie mid-flow to talk about a particular image, but maybe with a group of people it would be a good option.

I'm going to check out Guided Access, Books and Kiosk apps. All sound like great options and ways to refine the above approach. Thanks!!!!
