I will suggest this product to everyone. Like I have a iPad being used by whole family. Still I can control the sheet level privacy from this application. This locking feature was not seen by me anywhere. It helped me keeping data of company safe from personal stuff. That is why I mentioned, it is a must have app in you device. Pros What I literally love about this software is it's capability to onboard new users without a need of any walk-through, it is as simple as using a excel sheet. But compared to excel sheets, numbers got more reliable powers within. I used Numbers first time when I wanted to make entries of students, registering with demographic details and other noisy data. I love the way it automatically picked up the format of a column and suggested me the auto complete, I was typing time (in x Hours y Mins format), Numbers understood that and just asked me enter values and not units. For calculating BMI (Body Mass Index) also, it converted the whole column from centimetre to metre seamlessly. If I count the ways I love this product, this text-box will seem to be less. With a trusted brand comes the security too. Cons No such cons were discovered by me so far, I have completely loved this product from starting. It is a must have for any iPad user specially, it becomes so handy to handle the edits. But I still see that it lacks in some basic exporting features. Export and Share with live edit logs are heart of any version management sheets. But overall no dislikes about the quality. Switched from [Google Sheets](https://www.capterra.com/p/169718/Google-Sheets/) I made a switch looking at the ease of use and reliability to store professional data with privacy.

The learning curve was shorter than I thought, and I've been tentatively learning it's unique features and enjoying it! Pros If you know Mac and know Excel, it all felt pretty intuitive. I felt adept at it after a very short learning curve. I really like the more visually appealing interface (Apple always wins here). Cons It's not really about numbers, but as a long time excel user, it took some adjustments, just short cut keys etc. Switched from [Microsoft Excel](https://www.capterra.com/p/176574/Excel/) Got a new laptop that came with Numbers and wanted to give it a try.

Whenever using it I always wish I was using Excel. This could be because I was bought up on Excel but it just seems more intuitive and user friendly than Numbers to me. Numbers does do what Excel does and if you have to use it or have always used it I can understand if it is your preferred choice. Pros Numbers does do what Excel does. In that respect it is a useful program. It seems to have all the same features and can calculate formula's and organise data. It also comes free with the Apple suite when we purchased our I- Macs. Personally though I would always choose to use Excel over it if able. There is a desktop which is not linked to our Microsoft 365 account. When using this computer I have to use Numbers instead of Excel. Personally, I struggle with this program. I find it harder to use than Excel. The way the page is laid out (a finite grid instead of an infinite grid) seems strange to me. Having the status bar with the equation written when clicking into a cell is something I take for granted when using Excel but you realise how essential this is when you begin to use numbers and it is not there. Maybe there are ways to make numbers more personalised and therefore user friendly to myself but I have not spent the time to explore it when Excel is exactly set up with no editing. Cons I find Numbers complicated. Creating documents on there takes me longer than using Excel and I have not had the time to explore it fully when i know I usually have access to a program which I consider superior.

Very easy to use. It helps me keep my data organized and is easy to distribute tables for data management. Cons I wish it had more ways of visualizing data. I feel like the tables are all very standard. My team and I would appreciate more variety in how we are able to represent our data and display it to stakeholders. Review Source JW John W.

Pros It streamlines well with other Apple-based products, such as the iPhone. Cons It can look somewhat messy at times and isn't as easy to customize as Excel. Switched from [Microsoft Excel](https://www.capterra.com/p/176574/Excel/) Free version on MacBook Pro. However, I still use Excel through Microsoft 365. Review Source KH Kristin H. Director Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Terrible program " June 13, 2025 2.0 Terrible program. Spend the extra money and get Microsoft Excel instead. This is not worth your time. Pros It's visually appealing, but that's about it. If all you need is the most basic of spreadsheets, it'll do the trick. Cons This program doesn't even compare to the functionality and ease of use of Microsoft Excel. As an excel user, I find Numbers to be clunky, non-intuitive, and generally not very useful.

Technology Director Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Apple Numbers" March 6, 2025 5.0 I was an exclusive Microsoft user for years before converting to Apple and I am glad I did. Numbers provides me a more streamlined experience and ease of use, not so bogged down with so many extras. I appreciate spreadsheets not spanning thousands of cells standard. Pros Ease of use and learning new product. Switching from Excel to Numbers was a breeze Cons May not have all the “extras” that excel has but it is more user friendly and has just what is needed. Switched from [Microsoft Excel](https://www.capterra.com/p/176574/Excel/) I am a complete 100% Apple user now. Easier products to use and superior in my opinion. Review Source Felix J. Systems Administrator Accounting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A solid spreadsheet tool with missing features" September 16, 2019 4.0 It was a solid and reliable piece of software, and you can't beat the low price of Free. Using it involved some gymnastics from time to time, dealing with the fact that Excel is still the dominant software in this space. I would recommend this, if you are simply looking to do some spreadsheets for yourself at home, and don't anticipate to need any crazy or specific features, and also don't plan on collaborating with a team of people who primarily use Excel. Pros This was my introduction to spreadsheets, instead of Excel, as it was built into the Mac ecosystem. As a first-time spreadsheet user, many many years ago, it was easy to use, intuitive and made sense. As opposed to Excel, which has a "canvas" that is 100% spreadsheet (the canvas is all cells and your data can go anywhere), Numbers operates on a "table" basis, with an infinite canvas. It allows you to place neat tables wherever you need, so you can lay two data-sets side by side. Numbers formulas are also quite intuitive, giving you handy tooltips and overlays about what each of the formulas means as you go through them. It handled complex boolean logic, advanced arithmetic, and conditional statements without a problem. However, some of the formulas were a little bit limited​ and were absolutely not fully featured compared to Excel. Integration within the Apple ecosystem was wonderful. Documents synced instantly to all my devices relying on iCloud, and changes were pushed quickly. The collaboration​ was great, although not necessarily fully developed.​ Cons The main con of this software is that it's not Excel. It sounds stupid, but in using both Numbers and Excel for separate purposes, the differences are clear. Having to transition around and around from the industry-standard​ Excel to Numbers, which operates just on a slightly different basis can be jarring. Numbers, at the time of writing, was also missing some handy features, such as solving, data analysis, and additional plugins. The exporting into Excel, for those people that don't use Mac, could result in some data being jumbled if using complicated Numbers-specific formulas or formats. The same is true for the other way, as most people won't send you a Numbers document, but an Excel document. Alternatives considered [Microsoft Excel](https://www.capterra.com/p/176574/Excel/) Reason for choosing Numbers It was free and included with my Mac. It also presented itself as a much more intuitive and beautiful user interface, as opposed to Excel, which, from first glance, appeared clunky and difficult to get started with.

Unlike all all of the other schools I had run, my board left the budgeting and financial tracking entirely in my hands. Up until now I had always been handed an excel document with dozens of sheets detailing the budget that I was supposed to run. Faced with having to create my own I sat down to my Mac knowing what it should look like, but not how to get there. In Excel I was frustrated with trying laboriously to figure out what each formula needed to be to get the result that I needed. I spent hours trying to arrange the numbers in a trackable fashion. Then I tried Numbers. Numbers had always been sitting there, right at the bottom of my MAC screen. It had never occurred to me to explore. Once I did I was thrilled. It is easy to use. Often seems to not only know what functions I will need, but be so intuitively driven that I find them without intending to look. I now use it for all of our information keeping and tracking; financial, enrollment, charts, calendars, menus and so much more. I actually get annoyed when someone sends me an excel doc and am in the habit of opening it in Numbers immediately. Pros Numbers is easy to use even for non accountants. I haven't been trained in spread sheet functions etc, but Number's functions seem to anticipate anything I might want to do and to make it work in a way that I can figure it out intuitively. Cons Oddly enough I would like to see more color options in the "fill section". I have figured out that I can design in graph form for projects using Numbers very nicely, except that unlike all of my other graphic and polishing software, Numbers' colors are not able to "match". Switched from [Microsoft Excel](https://www.capterra.com/p/176574/Excel/) Numbers is far more intuitive and user friendly. Review Source CC Chris C. Founder Consumer Goods Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Love Numbers! " June 6, 2025 5.0 My overall experience with Numbers has always been awesome. It operates quickly and easily. There is never a delay. Pros The ability to sort columns in a CSV format is very helpful! I prefer using Numbers over Google Sheets for this. Cons There's not much to dislike about numbers. It is very plain, in terms of the layout, but it is very practical. Review Source MG Milagros G. Content creator and Social Media Manager Individual & Family Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Exceeding expectations" January 25, 2025 5.0 I have been using the app for a long time now for my business but also on a personal level. I have created travel itineraries to Colombia, Brazil and NY for my friends when we go on trips. If you put your mind to it, you can do a lot with this app. Pros I really like this app because its makes my lifes so easy. It had a clean design, easaly integrate and syncs with other apps, is customizable, and more Cons One of the cons is: if the person you arte trying to send the doc is not an apple user is going to be a mess for them. But usually you can send it as PDF. Switched from [Microsoft Excel](https://www.capterra.com/p/176574/Excel/) After I move from Samsung to Apple, i've been using this app on my phone for quick or emergency- last minutes documents. Is a life saver. Review Source EE Ella E. Yoga Instructor Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Numbers - easy to get started and get organised! Highly recommend." September 25, 2024 5.0 I found it possible to dive straight in, start making spreadsheets and then learn more as I a went along simply by googling "how to....in numbers". As with any new software it took a little while to become really comfortable with it, but the ability to get started straight away felt positive and motivated me to keep going! This began entirely for business purposes but I now love my spreadsheets so much, I have created several from my personal admin and household organisation - quick and easy and makes one feel in control! :-) Pros It's relatively easy to use, more intuitive than excel and works well for my fairly basic needs and I know I can do more with it if and when the need arises. Cons Nothing to complain about really! I wish the basic "new file" had slightly bigger cells and the filled cells defaulted to a colour other than grey, but really these are very minor issues which are quite easy to change. Switched from [Microsoft Excel](https://www.capterra.com/p/176574/Excel/) I bought a mac in 2013 and it came with numbers. I have never looked back and much prefer it to excel.

The iCloud syncing needs to be reliable. Pros I have used Numbers for many years and it is a very high-quality tool. The in-app support (e.g. with formulae) is helpful, and I have learned a lot as a result! It is straightforward to make the sheets and charts look really good, including using brand colours. I like that Numbers is a native app on my devices, and the hand-off means I can access it on desktop, laptop and phone. Cons The syncing with iCloud has been a bit patchy recently. I don't expect bugs like this to happen with Apple: their stuff so often works perfectly, and doesn't need defragging. I use Google Sheets as well as Numbers and am finding that the interface in Sheets is more intuitive than Numbers - for example, when manipulating data. The sharing and collaboration works really well too. Alternatives considered [Google Sheets](https://www.capterra.com/p/169718/Google-Sheets/)[Microsoft Excel](https://www.capterra.com/p/176574/Excel/) Reason for choosing Numbers Initially I chose Numbers because it was a Mac product and I trust Mac products. Review Source DG David G. President/COO Architecture & Planning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Spreadsheets for the rest of us" March 11, 2020 5.0 Numbers takes what every other spreadsheet app has been doing for over 30 years, and simplifies it to the most important features that are all that 90% of users will need. Instead of multiple ribbons, and nested menus, you have a much simpler, easier to understand and learn user interface. Yes, some functionality is missing, but for the most part, there are workarounds, or they are features you won't likely need. Numbers even does some things that Excel doesn't do, as it knows that non-number-crunchers use spreadsheets for text charts, presentations, and other things that aren't necessarily about numeric data. What's weird is that Excel has taken out some nice features that Numbers has kept! For example, I used to build a formula such as SUM, but typing = into a cell, then typing SUM( and clicking on each of the cells I wanted to add, and Excel would automatically put a + between each cell. Numbers still does this, but Excel now makes me type the + sign. I like how Numbers lets me have multiple tables on a sheet, and still lets me have multiple sheets. It works the way my brain works, instead of forcing my brain to think the way it wants me to. Pros Numbers takes the most important basic features for creating and managing spreadsheets, deletes all of the really high-end, deep accounting stuff, and makes a spreadsheet app that will make 90% of users happy. It just works, and features all of the simplicity you expect from an Apple product, while still allowing some powerful features. Cons If Apple would just add the "Repeat" feature, Numbers would be perfect. In Excel, one feature I often use is the ability to repeat a command: I modify one cell a certain way, then select a bunch of other cells and select "Repeat" from the Edit menu. Numbers cannot do this. Numbers also does not support a lot of the high-end features that serious number-crunchers expect: Macros, pivot tables, many of the more powerful statistical and mathematical formulas, etc. Those are features that I rarely, if ever need, so I'm OK with it. I still have and use Excel, so when I need those features, or someone sends me an Excel spreadsheet that uses them, I can still access those files. Switched from [Microsoft Excel](https://www.capterra.com/p/176574/Excel/) Did not need the power of Excel. Numbers is free, and does everything I need.

It serves my needs and I like that it's integrated into the Mac. I use it daily and it's great that it synchs across devices. It saves me from having to interact with Microsoft too much. Pros I don't do anything crazy with spreadsheets, I find numbers to do what I need it to. I track clients and prospects, how many hours I'm working, etc. I also use Numbers as a checklist. I really like the templates that it offers. I've used the event planning one and the food journal templates. It's a really nice design (thanks Apple) and it's really nice that it comes with my computer rather than having to buy a separate software package. Cons I've had some trouble opening it on my phone, but I think that's just a general software update issue. I'm hoping in the next release, it will be fixed. I haven't tried using pivot tables or anything like that (hopefully I'll never have to!). I think it's good for everyday use rather than trying to recreate ridiculous models using excel. It would be good if it was offered to non-Mac users so I wouldn't have to buy MS Excel to send docs to my clients, but this isn't a huge deal since they can open Numbers in Excel.

Pros Numbers is a software that has different features, but realisticly its the “excel” version of apple. I liked the most the connectivity it brings with all apple devices and through all aplle softwares such as the document sharing platform they have. Cons I liked the least about Numbers the way that it is not compatible sometimes at the moments of sending the document to a third party, meaning by this that sometimes the data gets corrupted or even it changes the physical appearance of the document, so when its opened its a completely different document. Switched from [Microsoft Excel](https://www.capterra.com/p/176574/Excel/) I made the swtich because i had all my devices be windows powerd devices, and the day i bought a new laptop, it was Apple, so i started changing all my devices to become apple and at the same time I started using Apple softwares Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Administrador Automotive Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "The future of spreadsheets" January 12, 2025 5.0 In addition to the possibility of formatting and design, you have the search button that helps you easily find what you need, making the task of both adding data and finding it very simple. Pros The flexibility of including lines and even more sheets within the same spreadsheet, something that you can't do in Excel. It's a real revolution. Cons I honestly didn't find any negative points, as it is even possible to send or receive spreadsheets from competitors and the integration takes place normally. Review Source GS GERSON S. Paralegal Legal Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Numbers for a non-mathematician in a Law Firm" December 25, 2023 5.0 It has been amazing. Aside from the real time collaboration thing, is a trustworthy tool. Quite trustworthy. You're aware you won't find yourself with a damage document or something that is not working for any reason at all. This is why I use it to handle important AOS or Criminal cases. I know numbers will not let down and the sense of privacy that the Numbers creator provides is even better. Feels like a powerful and safe playground for important data. Pros What I like the most is how user friendly it is due to is UI. Numbers has always characterized itself for being simple but being a powerful tool for data and information. In the Law Firm I work at I have to constantly retrieve data from clients who find themselves in complex situations outside of their country of origin, so not having to deal with an overwhelming UI makes it easier and less stressful for me to use the tool without having to deal with lots of tools I don't really need for case administration stuff. Later, when the time has to, I can either use the information for me or choose a beautiful template from Numbers. They're amazing Cons What I like the least about Numbers is that although exporting is easy and useful, many times I would like to share the document so other paralegals, psychologists or attorneys can see it in real time from their devices. The issue? Compatibility and access requirements. Technology is amazing nowadays but not everyone has an Apple product. Although they can see it from the iCloud website, many times they'll require an Apple ID. There have been many times where I have even wanted to share documents to edit with people who have an Apple ID but permission management and alerts for some reason are not easy to visualize or to manage, probably there's missing more customization and attention from that side.

A:I am using it as on individual level Do you want progressed capacities? A:I am okay with that as of now Are diagrams and illustrations critical to your goal? A: Sometimes, However I can do a workaround for that right now Is your unit running on Windows or Mac? A:I use Mac and i like default bundled applications and in no mood to use any other apps Pros You can think about Numbers Excel's more energetic kin. Notwithstanding the way that they're associated, they really have various differentiations. Beautiful representations: Numbers is the best 'Rule' for people with imaginative hearts. Next to the ideal place of cooperation, their graphical depictions are just amazing. It takes after they zeroed in on the manner by which your data would look when they're diagrammed or outlined. Sensible for individual use: Numbers is exceptional for individual and non-business use. Cons Tab-less bookkeeping page: If you're from Excel and you're reviewing Numbers, you'll see Numbers a piece limiting. Not for any reason like Excel, Numbers doesn't get the opportunity of different sheets. What Numbers has rather is one immense material as their bookkeeping page. On the material, you can add data in tables and these tables may be showed up distinctively comparable to worksheets in Excel. Barely any wide cutoff focuses: As of now, Numbers simply has in excess of 200 cutoff focuses. Clearly, enduring that you're essentially including it for focal purposes, you may not really the partition. Taking everything into account, to consolidate Numbers for extra made tasks like turn tables, you'll clearly be perplexed. Only for Apple: Numbers is only prohibitive for Mac and Apple's PDAs. That suggests if your PC isn't running Mac, you can't present Numbers on it. Ghastly for colossal informative records: when in doubt, Apple's Numbers isn't sensible for business purposes. Not the slightest bit like Excel, Numbers encounters issues overseeing tremendous methodologies of data. It either limits on a very fundamental level or crashes while dealing with a goliath store of data.

You may want to try it out for yourself and see if it meets your requirements. Pros Apple Numbers is a spreadsheet app that is part of the iWork suite along with Pages and Keynote.
