Pages Reviews & Product Details - Page 7

Pages has a simple and easy-to-use UX - Plus formatting things is a breeze. Also, it works for almost every project I need to accomplish. There is no other program I would rather use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Really the only thing I dislike is that it sometimes does not play well with other programs. Like if you take a word doc for Microsoft it will screw up the formatting. That sometimes can be annoying when others send you things to review or make edits on then you need to spend time reformatting so you can do what is needed. That is the case with most Apple products though. They want you to use their systems which is not a deal-breaker in my mind. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Pages have all the functionality of Microsoft Word in my opinion. If you can use Word, then you will have no problem using pages. What I like the best is that it comes with multiple different templates if you're planning on writing an essay, document, envelope, report, etc., which simplifies your life instead of having to start from scratch! It also comes free with your purchase of Macbook Air or Macbook pro, so you do not need to pay for it unlike Microsoft Office tools which are only available for a certain period of time. The Pages are there indefinitely and comes with all other tools you'd need such as Keynote, Numbers, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not much besides that, a lot of companies use Word Docs, and Pages is typically my default software for opening documents. Everything else is great and simple to use. Changing the color, fonts, highlighting, etc. may also be a confusing at first if you're used to using Microsoft Words. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

.doc and .docx files can easily open in Pages, and it's easy to export into different file types. You can add notes to Pages, which is nice when I'm editing my employees' work. There are also a surprising number of useful templates from Reports to Resumes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Pages has limited fonts, so when I open other documents oftentimes, fonts are missing. I also feel like the formatting tab isn't very intuitive, and I often have to play around to get the formatting I want. I also prefer Google Docs, where multiple people can edit the same document at the same time and changes are easily tracked. Even though it does everything I *need* it to do, it still feels pretty basic and doesn't have any features or tools that really exceed my expectations. I also don't like that my only options are to save directly to my computer or in the cloud. Since I use this for business, if I want to use cloud storage, I have to create an entirely separate business apple ID. It's not convenient, nor is there a convenient way to swap between a personal and business apple ID account. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Instead of viewing this software as boring and mundane like Microsoft Word, Pages allows for much more creativity and document work.

It also allows you to do everything Word can do, but with the creative/design aspect.

Understandable that Pages is more design-friendly than Word since Apple is popular with designers and creatives, and Microsoft is more for the boring 1010101010000 types of people....(backend development.......yehk). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes when moving around contents in my document, it completely obliterates my entire layout and template, and i have to spend time to figure out what is causing it and how to put everything back. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's easy to use and navigate. I haven't had any problems using it so far and I've used Pages for over 5 years now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is nothing that I dislike about the programme. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Compatibility and Universal File Types. Pages allows you to open a wide variety of documents (Mainly Microsoft word, HTML, etc.). It has a great amount of formatting tools and options for customization.

Footer and Headers are extremely easy to format for most intended use cases, The User Interface helps guide users in this case as well.

I also appreciate that with this newer version of Pages, it is compatible with older variants, for example: Pages '09 documents can be upgraded to this variant, and this variant can also export to older variants. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main thing about Pages is its incompatibility and lack of a desktop program for Windows. Windows programs by default cannot open a .pages filetype extension, and thus many users cannot open documents created with Pages. Additionally, while Windows users can operate Pages via the web browser, iCloud generally doesn't offer the same amount of tools as offered on the Mac OS desktop variants.

I like the adaptability in the app that allows me to effortlessly export to any presentation or documents I'm working on that is necessary for successful imports. Also it's free!! Which is one of the biggest factors I love Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There's not much to dislike in pages. I operate with it on iPad Pro and it works perfectly! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that it is Intuitive and very easy to use. You can make and edit documents quickly and with ease. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like that it is not on all operating systems and devises. That makes it hard to transfer from one devise to another. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Pages has simple yet sophisticated tools within the application for creating sharp documents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can't think of anything missing from product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I do like that Apple provided their own free alternative to Microsoft Word. For the most part I think it's compatible with Word if you need to edit a document you have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish there were more features similar to Microsoft Word, I'm used to their software when it comes to Word documents so if they could mirror and even improve what Word has I think this would increase their usership. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
