B2. a panotour with node-hotspots? - Yes
B3. a panotour with thumbnail_menu_mobile - Not tested
B4. a panotour with fly-in ad animations? - Not tested
B5. a panotour with image-popups? - Yes
B6. a panotour using variables and filters? - Yes
B7. a panotour using logic-block "actions"? - Yes

I tested with this project https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com ... index.html

C) Some more comments and questions?

When I went to test on the iPad the Goodreader app I had installed wouldn't work with iOS11 so I had to backup all the files in the app, buy the new version and then copy all files back.

The ongoing problem with Goodreader is the issue with the app's UI. After a few seconds of opening a tour the UI disappears, you get it back by tapping in the screen. This causes issues when you are tapping on a hotspot as 9 times out of 10 the UI will appear ruining the fullscreen look of the project.

On the other hand an app called Mockups http://themockupsapp.com works perfectly. You can set it to open the project in Fullscreen, in this case closing the app is the only way out, or you can set a small nav bar at the bottom of the page that allows you to return to the file list. iTunes link https://itunes.apple.com/au/app/mockups ... 14006?mt=8

Wow,
so you think ( or do you know, because of your own experience?) that Mockups can show and run a local html5 panotour with all the functions and popups, filters, etc.

Many thanks (again!) Tony !

@Hopki and/or others:
Any more details on those questions regarding iBooks?

Hi,

I have Mockups running on my iPad now. Here's a link to a video of it running one of my tutorial projects. There's a lot of finger interaction and no additional menus show.

Looks like Mockups has disappeared off the App Store. I'm hoping it will be back soon as I managed to download it, test it and then recommend it to a client I have just produced a tour for who needs to be able to show the tour at a trade show with no internet connection. Looking this morning so I can send them a link to the Mockups app and it's no longer available....

just use epub file. It is a zip container with html5 structure and javscript in it. It works like a charm and is cross platform.
