My overall experience with Pages has been positive. It's easy to use, looks clean, and makes creating documents straightforward.

Pros

What I like about Pages is how easy it makes creating documents look professional. It's a straightforward way to create polished documents without feeling complicated.

Cons

What I like least about Pages is that It can be limited compared to other word processor when it comes to advanced formatting or compatibility with non-Apple file types.

Excellent. It has everything I need and is very organized. I've tried to move to Google Docs to create products for my teaching, but Google Docs can't touch Pages. My products look professional on Pages.

Pros

I have been using pages for years to create products. It's intuitive and I can't imaging living without it.

Cons

Sometimes when I add text, it unexpectedly shifts my images. I’m sure I might be doing something wrong, but it’s still frustrating. I also worry that future updates could remove some of the features I rely on.

Overall, using Pages was a smooth and pleasant experience. It’s perfect for personal or professional documents if you’re in the Apple ecosystem. While it may not replace Word for power users, it strikes a nice balance between simplicity and functionality.

Pros

I really liked how intuitive and clean Pages feels for creating documents. The templates are well-designed, and it’s easy to format text, add images, and customize layouts without feeling cluttered. I also appreciated the smooth integration with iCloud, making it simple to access and edit documents across devices.

Cons

I found that Pages isn’t as feature rich as some other word processors like Microsoft Word, especially when it comes to advanced formatting and collaboration tools. Sometimes exporting to non-Apple formats (like Word or PDF) can slightly alter the layout.

I love Pages and have used it nearly as much, if not more than I do Google docs. The templates & design features gives a more professional look to flyers, letters, or posters.

Pros

Pages is an easy to learn document creation app that also has design capabilities. It is intuitive and has pre-made templates that have a professional look. The grammar & spellcheck feature can be turned off/on as a preference. I love that I have the option of saving as a pdf, importing images, and for me it is easier to use shapes/art than it is to use in Google docs.

Cons

The only thing that is a drawback is it is Mac specific. It does automatically save your work, but it is not automatically saved in the cloud.

My work computers were switched to Macs which came pre-loaded with Pages. Once I saw all that Pages could do, especially with design features, I loved it.

Overall I love it. It is my fave place to edit documents and make lesson plans for school (teacher). Although the initial work is a lot, I copy and paste documents and edit each one each week. Usually it works out pretty good.

Pros

It’s an Apple product, so I like that. My brain works better with that. I like that it’s easy to use and over the years it’s been pretty consistent on how to find things and has even improved.

Cons

Always, converting from Pages to Word or to another document for others to see is kind of a pain. But it is what it is I guess. Recently I didn’t like how for some reason an “update/improvement” took away the feature of being able to reduce/enlarge the boxes within a table row or column. It defaulted to a certain size and didn’t let me edit the size to fit more columns/rows. But then suddenly it worked one day. It’s very frustrating because I use this for work every day and need it to work with me on editing to make it flow easier. So when this happened it threw my work flow off like crazy! And made me just want to find another alternative.

I have had a great experience with Pages. I think it is a great platform exclusively for Apple users and it allows you to create and edit documents without a problem.

Pros

I really like that Pages is a convenient documentation service that is compatible with all Apple devices.

Cons

I like least that it doesn't have all of the same features as its competitors such and the file library is a little confusing.

I've used Pages throughout a lot of my doctoral work. For the most part, I didn't have trouble getting files sent to professors in the proper formatting, but every once in a while, there was a glitch.

Pros

It works great with Apple products and is a very user-friendly word processing software. It's probably the second-best compared to Word.

Cons

Since not all users use Apple software, it can be a little funky saving a file in a .doc or .docx format. This can sometimes throw off spacing.
