What do you like best about Pages?

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.

What do you dislike about Pages?

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.

What problems is Pages solving and how is that benefiting you?

1. Productivity with repetitive business letters, with the ability using any of my devices to duplicate an old document stored on iCloud, then edit with the new information.

2. Custom Birthday cards!! I love using Pages to take photos from my iPhone photo library, and import them into a Pages card template.

3. Resume and Design Portfolio - again, quickly integrate accessible images already taken.

4. PDF production: Pages makes it easy to make great quality PDFs for printing and distribution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Pages?

Creating visually-pleasing layouts in an easy-to-use app that syncs across all my devices and the web. I love the Styles pane, the ability to easily add and edit images (even from my iPhone), and the collaboration features are excellent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pages?

The web version leaves a bit to be desired, but otherwise the app is fantastic. There are a few Word features that it doesn't have, but they don't affect me. Obviously, most people use Word so getting them to use Pages to collaborate can be an issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Pages:

Try it out! It's free on iCloud.com, and it's free on all Apple platforms - Mac, iOS, and iPadOS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Pages solving and how is that benefiting you?

It opens faster than Word, and causes less issues than Word. Inserting and working with an image isn't torture. The instant alpha option is great. I feel like the software gets out of my way and allows me to work and write. It's also FREE on ALL PLATFORMS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Pages?

I was nervous when I switched from Microsoft to Apple, I thought learning a new word processing program would be a stressful task. I was completely wrong. The program is free, just as simple and there is compadibility to other word processors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pages?

Some features are missing than Word. It takes some time to get used to how the program works and the keyboard shortcuts, and where all the amenities are. While I appreciate the the product being free as well as the updates, some upgrades have growing pains Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Pages:

Spend undivided time using the program, and the minute it gets hard, don't go back to Word and just keep discovering Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Pages solving and how is that benefiting you?

The program is free to anyone with an Apple, and any updates are automatic. If someone uses Microsoft Word, there is compatibility going back and forth. Also, I can use the program on my iPhone and iPad as well as my MacBook Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Pages?

Pages is an excellent tool for writing. At first, I was skeptical about using Pages because I was very used to Word. Still, after giving Pages an opportunity, I realized that it was (for me) better than Word. Pages have great tools for providing any document with a suitable design format. For example, it has smart guides to help you align figures or photos, and it will be harder for them to be moving around the document as it will be in Word. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pages?

I don't have any complaints about Pages; it works great for my needs. Some people complain that it only works for Mac and that whenever they share documents for no iOs users, the document is modified. Still, I don't see this as a problem because Pages can export any document as PDF or even Word format. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Pages solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have previously used pages for writing articles, making document templates, reporting annual accomplishments, event planning, schedules, among others. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Pages?

If you are used to working with Microsoft Word, it is the same but much easier and more intuitive.

It has some presets that help to design invitations, posters, or documents in a fast and dynamic way.

The automatic correction helps you write more fluently, and the design options are easy and intuitive when it comes to improving your texts.

You can open Microsoft Word files without problem, and in the same way save in .pdf, .pages or .word Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pages?

What I like the least is when it comes to adding images to your documents or adding graphics. I find them a bit outdated and challenging to make it 'pretty. Some aspects such as the page numbering theme could be improved, but in general, it is easy to use, and if you are a mac user, it is a free program, and if not, you can use it online from iCloud. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Pages:

If you are a mac user, do not hesitate, it is much better and more intuitive than Microsoft Word. You can export in .docx and work from the cloud without problem. It takes up little space on the hard disk, and it is updated periodically. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Pages solving and how is that benefiting you?

In my day to day, whenever I have to write a document, I use Pages. Its option to save in the cloud allows me to open the files from any computer, either at home or in my office. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Pages?

As a Mac user, I like using Pages because it integrates with my computer so well. Pages is fairly user-friendly, especially if you have experience with another word processing software. There is nothing especially difficult about Pages; it is basically what one would expect it to be. I also appreciate the fact that I am able to export my Pages document as other file types, just in case I am transferring my work to someone without the ability to open a Pages file. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pages?

My biggest gripe with Pages is mostly that it is not Microsoft Word. Since Word is more commonly used, most people can accept .doc files, whereas Pages documents often run into trouble when trying to be shared. Although there is an option to export your file as a Word document, I have run into trouble with my page formatting when I have done so. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Pages:

For anyone considering Pages, my best suggestion would be to use it only if your entire workplace or company is going to commit to Pages as well. Because the ability to export and share files with non-Pages users is imperfect, I would not use Pages if I primarily worked with people who were using something more common, like Google Docs or Microsoft Word. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Pages solving and how is that benefiting you?

I would not say that Pages has solved any particular problems for me. In a pinch, I use Pages because I am a Mac user, so it is the preferred Mac software, but in general, Pages is not my preferred method for writing documents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Pages?

Very user-friendly, this software is far better than its main competitor, Microsoft Word. Pages allows us to use two work modes: word processor mode (like Word) or layout mode (more like InDesign). This is very helpful. Apple rarely does anything bad. And, in addition, it's free for Mac users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pages?

Sometimes, some images are in tricky positions. I have to be very careful that any images are in "Move with Text" instead of "Stay on Page" mode (default option) in "Object Placement section", because images will not be moving with text, so it will create a big mess (text and images are all mixed). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Pages:

If you are a Mac user, consider this free software instead of other Office Suite like Open Office or Libre Office. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Pages solving and how is that benefiting you?

I've created few documents with Pages and it's very helpful for employees that not have depth graphic design skills. It not requires any particular complex software skills (like Adobe InDesign). So, even if I'm a graphic designer, my other colleagues can collaborate with me with this software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Pages?

Actually Pages is much more than word processing software. For example it is possible to insert images independent of the text and also the copy / paste from Illustator works very well, with vector elements. I also use it a lot on my iPad Pro and all documents are saved in the Cloud. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pages?

It doesn't have a great compatibility with Microsoft Word, even if I do the export in that format. Personally I only use Pages, but it happens that I need to export a document for people who use only Word and it could be a problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Pages:

Pages is a very useful tool for anyone using Apple devices. Perfect regardless of the position held, even simply for writing notes. In reality it allows much more, especially for those who, like me, are involved in graphic design. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Pages solving and how is that benefiting you?

I take notes, write documents that I can also find on an iPad or iPhone. It happens to write work briefs or subjects for movies. Sometimes I also create templates, for example for company letterheads. It has many features that make my work easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
