Pages Reviews & Product Details - Page 2

Pages is much more simple to use than Microsoft Word. It is true that Word has more features, but most of which you will never use. This amalgamation of useless features turns Microsoft Word's interface into a cluttered mess. In comparison, Pages feature set is simpler yet powerful, providing us with a more organised interface and thus a better experience. I did my entire Master's dissertation and also my PhD thesis using Pages, and have not missed any Microsoft Word feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The way Pages count words is different than Microsoft World does it. This can become problematic for students. For example, according to Pages, my PhD thesis was 99,000 words long, exceeding the submission limits. But the same document, now converted to Microsoft Word, was -10% shorter. Such discrepancy hurts students because we are required to honour academic conduct; thus, we should not lie about word length, etc. Both companies (Microsoft and Apple) should agree on a common formula.

The only thing I dislike about pages is the fact that it's limited to Mac devices. Sure, you can use Pages via iCloud in a web browser on a PC, but the fully featured app is native to macOS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The way Pages works seamlessly across all my Apple devices (iPhone and iPad) as well as solid functionality on the web browser-based version which I use on my PC. Especially well- integrated with the Apple Ecosystem and iCloud Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One challenge I have had is that the icons for the tools, document controls, and options menus are often a bit opaque; i.e. they don't always tell you what they do or what sub-menus are hidden behind them.

Also, compared to MS Word which I use a lot on the job, I miss the ability (or just haven't learned how) to run macros for massive document re-formatting and content find-and-replace. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
