"User-Friendly and Cost-Effective Spreadsheet Solution"
What do you like best about Apple Numbers?

I like how Apple Numbers is very user-friendly in dealing with different tables on the same spreadsheet. It offers ease of manipulation, especially in formatting items that need to be printed, and it's easier than Excel for handling multiple tables. The formulas are pretty much the same between Apple Numbers and Excel, but I appreciate the drag-and-drop interface that's more touch-friendly. The ability to export documents as an Excel spreadsheet is a great feature, allowing easy sharing with those who prefer Excel. I also find the robust mobile app impressive, as users can use it on their iPads with a touchscreen-friendly design. It's very accessible, free to download from the App Store, or deploy through our MDM, making it easy to manage without license concerns. The print preview option is particularly valuable, reducing the need for help desk tickets and questions about formatting and printing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apple Numbers?

The things that don't work as well is that our users sometimes will forget to export the document as an Excel file before emailing it, and the users don't really understand that. So I wish that the tool had a way to just remind users when they export or share to say, do you want to export this as an Excel document? It probably goes against the idea of Numbers being a replacement to Excel, but, honestly, I have many users that don't understand that concept when they're sharing their documents.

What do you dislike about Apple Numbers?

I haven’t found anything wrong with it so far. It’s very easy to use. The only thing is that the iCloud version is very slow to open. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The only thing Apple couldnt compete with Microsoft"
What do you like best about Apple Numbers?

Apple numbers is a smoother version of Excel. It is really built well and has a lot of templates which. might be useful to people. It is a great software to do calculations, accoutning and analysis or any data and it is easy to use. The cross sync function with apple id is amazing! Customer support is really well for Apple products. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apple Numbers?

This tool is not as great as its competitor which is MS Excel. The first problem is that it is not available on all devices. It works solely with Apple Devices. The UI seems very simple but this is meant to do complex tasks, which users cant do easily compared to other tools. This is not so easy to integrate in your day to day lives. I do not use it frequenctly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to use and learn spreadsheet software"
What do you like best about Apple Numbers?

Ease of use, fully integrated into Mac systems. User friendly to the point of almost seeming overly simplistic, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apple Numbers?

Not as many options as Excel, but that might not be a bad thing. Sometimes Excel can be intimidating with all the features, to the point you feel like you need to break out a thick manual to know how to use everything. Numbers makes everything easy and gives you what the average person needs with a spreadsheet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
