  1. 5/5Best word processor for a writer

    I usually don’t write reviews, but I do think that this app deserves a writer’s review. As a straight ipad and iphone user and blogger/author, I use this app every day, all day at work. I love the flexibility of the features. Being able to save articles to iCloud or import them to other apps is very useful. Also because I am the only only worker who uses Apple products in an office of Windows computers, being able to export the files I am working on into word docs is very helpful. I am very happy with the newest feature of being able to add a table of contents to my work since I am a book author too and have been unable to add this important feature to my work until the latest update to pages for iOS. I would highly recommend this app for anyone writing reports, books, blogs or anything else that requires basic word processing. Importing pictures into documents is very easy if the pictures are on your drive. One annoying issue I have is that Pages puts text into text boxes which keeps the table of contents generated from recognizing the headings. You have to cut out the text from the text box and then repast it into the document body in order for it to register in the table of contents generated in the front of the document. If this feature could be corrected so that text is not automatically put into text boxes I would be very happy and the workflow issue would be greatly improved. But I am still giving this app a 5 star rating because of the easy nature of the layout. I have used Microsoft Word for years before switching to an ipad and I am so much happier with Pages than I ever was with Word.

  2. 2/5Terrible end of sentence sequence

    One of the last updates to the app has resulted in an almost unusable on-the-fly editing. If I backspace to enter a period at end of a word at end of sentence, it highlights the word and suggests an incorrect spelling of some other replacement. If I enter the period, or any other entry, it deletes the correct word I had there. If I simply enter the period instead of backspace to avoid this result, I end up with a space between my last word and the period at end of sentence. There’s a lot of corrective measures you have to do to fix this which slows productivity and messes with stream of consciousness typing. If you’re not paying attention and doing all the edit manipulations it makes in error for you, you’ll end up with sentences missing the words you thought you typed, including having words in it you never typed in first place as well as mispelled words that their algorithm selects for you. Note that the whole thing is triggered by the backspace for the period. It’s designed to remove the space between the period and last word after you insert the period— after you’ve added a space. But the problem is no one puts a space between the last word and period as they type. So virtually every sentence you type is unnaturally expecting you to add the period after you enter a space at the end of a word. Whoever created that sequence clearly doesn’t write in English language.

  3. 2/5Good, but some really frustrating problems PLEASE READ

    Pages is a really helpful app and it’s great way to be creative. It does have a few problems though. One of them is that it auto-positions things. Like, I want to move a text box to a very specific spot, but it moves it elsewhere because it wants everything to be in alignment. The opposite thing happens sometimes when I delete a drawing or a picture on a page where there’s a few other things. When I delete it, the whole page goes out of alignment. So weird! And very frustrating. I wish that there was some way to turn off the auto-alignment thing. Another problem is that there’s no easy way to add a page when you are in a document that is not a template. You have to select a page, duplicate it, drag it to the place you want to go, and then delete everything on the page. I think you should add a tool to add a page on the blank template. A similar thing happens when I try to delete one specific page. Sometimes, all the pages have connected text. So, when you want to delete one page, it might delete all of them. Then, I have to delete everything on the page one by one, and sometimes that thing where everything goes out of alignment happens. It’s a good app, but it has some problems that stop it from reaching it’s full potential. Apple, please read my message and try to fix these issues.

  4. 5/5From grate great to best

    My learning curve this is flatter than I’d like it to be. I keep chatting most of the Apple people that Apple‘s finest hour is it graphic interactive audio but even a pure language page can utilize symbols and motion to provide guidance step from step a lot of Apple stuff is all written like the arcade Gutenberg Bible Long lines of thousands of pages of pros packed with Apple by remember the medium is the message so there’s a lot that doesn’t make sense to me about pages and other wordprocessors. There’s so much reading in order to do writing that’s not necessary. What’s necessary as a word processor that has motion and sound and Reactions now then that’s an Apple product that is worth putting out so fine-tune pages the style of just listening, lots of parts and assuming that people know to start with what they want, but it’s hidden what’s given as a bunch of parts and that’s not the way humans think we start with what we want our end goal we start at the end that we’d like to see, and then we learned backward to where we are each step connecting to what we wantin fact logistically the instructional style in Apple is the opposite of that so it comes down to a choice do you really mean to serve your customers then you’ve got to establish rapport with them which is the match they’re thinking Matt Manor that’s what I have to say. How do I send

  5. 4/5really good overall, a couple of bugs, a couple wishes!

    I’m in high school and attempting to write a legit novel, which I’m really excited about. I love pages and I think it’s really helpful. I do wish, however, that there were some more editing options when it comes to layering photos for a cover? Like, for instance, if I wanted to add a photo for the cover of my book, the text isn’t able to lay on top of the photo? I would really love it if there was some form of software for this? Another suggestion is that maybe like how ChatGPT is able to be in other apps and you can use it without exiting (I’m not talking about split view, I’m talking about how chatgpt is able to be in apps like Messages as long as you allow it as kind of a plug-in) I would like the same for Word Hippo? I don’t know the dev’s standpoint on that app, but it would be nice to have that as an option so you could find better synonyms and adjectives? I just dont like switching between apps so much. And another thing, I have a bug that is really annoying. Sometimes the document will randomly scroll ALL THE WAY UP for absolutely no reason and then I’m forced to scroll all the way back down? Sorry for the rant, like i seriously apologize, but that’s my view. Love the app, love ALMOST everything about it, and thank you!!
