Interior Designer Design Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Pages Review" January 30, 2025 4.0 It is simple to use, has some great templates which make setting documents up like such as a resume or invoice very straight forward. It best aspect would be the simplicity of it's user interface and ease of use. Pros The ability to use pages across multiple devices and it updates live without needing to be saved.

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.

Pros Easy to use and save everything in the cloud Cons If you migrates from other software such as Word, can be little frustrating Switched from [Microsoft Word](https://www.capterra.com/p/227146/Microsoft-Word/) Pages is free if you use Mac computer, and i have to pay if i want to use Microsoft word in mac Review Source JS Jeff S. Owner Medical Practice Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Thumbs down" April 18, 2025 2.0 Hyper-time-consuming owing to unintuitiveness and impossible-to-locate solutions in help. Fine for basic unoriginal template stuff. Pros Templates are good and will serve most basic needs. It is, of course, free with Mac/Apple product. Cons Utterly unintuitive, difficult to customize templates, and Mac "Help" is really not too "help"-ful. Switched from [Microsoft Word](https://www.capterra.com/p/227146/Microsoft-Word/) Pages was free-you get what you pay for. Review Source JG Jamie G.

Business administration support Education Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "every professional needs this." October 17, 2024 5.0 Great experience and I Would recommend anyone who needs stunning documents but also having the feel of pen and paper in a modern world. I have actually turned a few of my colleagues onto using Pages and they also absolutely love it. Pros The ease to connect the apple pencil and create professional looking documents for my business and also in my personal life Cons When connecting a new Apple Pencil, occasionally it took quite a while to re simulate to the new pencil.

Cons The features on pages does not compare to that of other popular document software. Review Source DV Devon V.

Pros It's such a comprehensive tool that has many features For my creative team to Edit and develop impactful documents.

Cons Hard to understand and utilize correctly for beginners. Review Source TA Tayeb A. CEO Design Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Solid alternative to Word" March 22, 2024 5.0 I have been using Pages ever since I got my first Mac computer, I was very satisfied with it as it is free and very easy to use and it is a free alternative to those who cannot invest in a yearly subscription but already have a Mac Pros \- Can open and most importantly edit Word documents without the need to purchase a subscription. - Free to use on MacOS and iOS - Stylish templates Cons \- Sometimes when opening Word documents, certain elements might disappear or be displayed oddly requiring the users to tweak the Pages document. - If you ever need to send a documents, directly sending a Pages document to someone can be risky if they open it on Word. I would recommend sending your Pages document as a PDF or trying to view how it looks on Word before sending it for something important like customers or University work. - Wish it was also available on iCloud.com for non Mac users. Switched from [Microsoft Word](https://www.capterra.com/p/227146/Microsoft-Word/) Pages is free and also Microsoft decision to move to a subscription based model. Review Source Cushi M. Owner/Coach E-Learning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A powerful word processor with a focus on Design" November 30, 2022 4.0 Pages allows me to do everything from flushing out ideas, to delivering a polished, finished project. For example, if I want to create an e-book, with Pages, I can take rough notes, proofread and edit those notes, layout a page style and even design a cover.Pages also allows me to make presentations, write letters, draft ideas, take notes on interviews with clients and more. Pros I love that Pages provides a powerful word processor that is specifically aimed at creatives, like me. It bridges the gap between word processor and design software in a seamless way. It is as easy to create a professional letter as it is to create a beautiful flyer. It can even be used to lay out a website, create newsletters and much more. Cons What I like least about Pages is that it is integrated into Apple products. For the most part, I utilize and prefer Google apps like Drive, Sheets, etc although Pages is my preferred word processor over Google Docs. Reason for choosing Pages I still use Google Docs for most of my word processing simply because it integrates better into Google Drive, etc, but I prefer pages for any design heavy projects like ebooks, newsletters, basic flyers etc. Review Source SA Summer A. Pet transport specialist Transportation/Trucking/Railroad Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Pages - you dont have a choice with MAC. " August 6, 2022 4.0 With Mac you do not have a choice, you really have to use pages. However, it is generally a good software without major glitches, and doesn't slow your computer down. It is relatively easy to use and self explanatory. It is of course NOT compatible with Microsoft / android so you have to always remember to export files as word or as pdf. Pros It works well isn't generally glitchy and has a lot of adaptability. You can export to other formats for other computers etc and you can actually open up a word document on a mac and then edit with pages. Cons My biggest issue with pages is its grumpiness. It randomly decides to stop allowing a document to be saved and says the document is not editable - even though all permissions are set. It is so strange and extremely frustrating! Review Source MS Melissa S. Director of Marketing Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "In Love...It's like Word, Publisher, and Illustrator all rolled into one." October 6, 2022 5.0 I have been using Pages since I got my first Mac computer in 2000. I love this program, especially since I work in Marketing and always need to make things look nice. I design almost everything on Pages and I love going into meetings knowing I have the best looking resources and reports! Pros This is my FAVORITE program. It is my go to for almost everything. I do a lot of design work for my job and I used to default to Illustrator or other design programs for most of my work, but now I use Pages for 90% of all my work and only open those other programs when I need a specific design feature that doesn't exist in Pages. Cons The only few issues I have found with Pages: 1. Exporting simple documents to Word files (.doc) works great, but files that have a ton of design elements don't export well. I can create PDFs in most cases so it works fine, but occasionally I wish the designs elements integrated better with the Word export. 2. They recently added a mail merge feature, but it is still missing the ability to merge lists into address labels or other documents. they have started working on it though so I have high hopes for the next version. 3. I love this program so much and I hate that I can't share it with my co-workers who don't work on Mac. People are always asking how I did something on my documents/design and I hate that they can't do it on their Word or other document editor. Switched from [Microsoft Word](https://www.capterra.com/p/227146/Microsoft-Word/) At first I made the switch because I couldn't afford to purchase Microsoft Office for my Mac computer. My brother showed me that Macs come with their own free software called Pages. I assumed that free software wouldn't be that great, but started using it because I didn't have an alternative. Now I hate using Microsoft Word and even though my company has paid for me to have it I always create everything in Pages. The only reason I ever use Word is to double check designs I create in Pages and export as Word documents. Review Source MV Massimo V. Fotografo Photography Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Pages, programma di scrittura gratuito di alta qualità" April 20, 2023 5.0 Pros Mi è sembrato importante la facilità d'importare documenti di origine disparata, poi l'interfaccia grafica, diversa dal solito, che offre molti strumenti grafici in pannelli a scomparsa e per finire la facilissima e automatica possibilità di condividere, in tempo reale, con altre "device" lo stesso documento grazie alla integrata funzione Apple iCloud. Cons Probabilmente il concorrente principale, MS Word, rimane ancora un riferimento, e a volte nell'importare vecchi documenti bisogna aggiornare le font, tuttavia è cosa di poco conto. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Real Estate Agent Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great, Affordable Word Processing" April 12, 2022 4.0 Pages is simple to use when there is only one person working on a project, so I always use it when I only want to share exported PDFs with others. Pros Pages is great when you create a document from scratch and only use it within Pages or print it to PDF. It has almost all of the functions I ever need. I often create presentations in Pages and then export it to PDF to do powerpoint presentations because they use the least amount of space, are easy to create and edit, and even the lowest-quality presentation systems can handle the files. Pages is not as clunky or RAM-heavy as Microsoft software, which is great for slower devices. It also doesn't have as many superfluous buttons, so it's easier to use than some other programs while still being more or less aesthetically pleasing to work with. Cons It is very difficult to go back and forth between Pages and other word processing programs like Microsoft Word or Google Documents. There is a lack of compatibility between the programs, so documents get unformatted easily, and it is nearly impossible to fix them. This is especially difficult when you have multiple users working on the same projects and all use different programs, or when you just need to open the document on a different device (like a non-Apple computer or Android phone) when you're on the go.

Data Engineer and DBA Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Pages for the win!" October 9, 2022 4.0 I love using Pages to create different sorts of files with ease. It is easy and fun to use especially while creating birthday invitations, posters, flyers, and other infographics. I adore its feature-rich and intuitive interface. The user community and support team are great and quickly help resolve issues. Besides that, Pages lets me collaborate with other users in real-time, provides powerful integration with other tools, and is easily accessible across all my Apple devices. Pros Pages is a powerful and easy-to-use word processor, especially for Apple users. It comes with tons of features and beautifully designed templates across various categories to cater to multiple user requirements. Pages let a user insert photos, charts, audio video, etc into the document. It comes with an intuitive interface and is quite easy to use. Pages also provide powerful sharing and collaboration features to the users. Cons The thing I least like about Pages is the fact the documents created on Pages cannot be opened elsewhere unless converted into a suitable format like PDF. Hence it is a great option for sharing files among Apple users only. Switched from [Google Docs](https://www.capterra.com/p/160756/Google-Docs/) We wanted to try and see how Pages work hence we made a switch. Review Source Nicola L.

Potrebbe però essere più semplice e intuitivo Pros I layout proposti di base sono accattivanti e innovativi. La gestione dei file e la loro sincronizzazione attraverso il cloud Apple è perfetta Cons Il software è complesso nell’utilizzo e poco compatibile con collaboratori o clienti che prediligono Word e quindi i file generati sono difficilmente compatibili Switched from [Apache OpenOffice](https://www.capterra.com/p/160717/Apache-OpenOffice/) Il sistema precedente aveva dei difetti di stabilità Review Source Christian K. Programmer Analyst Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great Word Processing for Mac and iOS devices" February 4, 2022 5.0 I use Pages to create project and user documentation for software we have built or are building. I also have been using it outside of work for personal documents I need to create, collaborate on, or share. Pros Pages comes free on any Mac or iOS device and integrates seamlessly with iCloud, making it easy to get started and continued collaboration. No subscription like other big-name word processors. Cons There is a bit of a learning curve if you’re used to other big-name word processors, but any user using a Mac or iOS device should be able to pick it up pretty quickly if they’re used to the OS design language.

Professional Licensed Realtor Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Apple Vs the Other Bigwigs" July 27, 2021 5.0 Overall, Pages and other iWork apps are a great competitor in the document and office application war that has been ongoing since the office world shifted from pen and paper, to computerized writing and counting. Give it a try! Apple lovers claim it’s far greater than Microsoft or Google’s versions. I tend to use all of them from time to time, moving to one after the other for different uses and reasons. Pros When compared with the other great document editing/office software tools, like Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.), Google Workspace (formerly G-Suite; Docs, Sheets, Slides, etc.)... Apple iWork, which includes Pages, Numbers, and Keynote, is certainly one of the top competitors in the race! Against these major, billion dollar contemporaries, Apple shines through with distinction, diligence, and decadence! It is certainly much sleeker than the standard white-wash design of the other opponents. It’s interface is modern, like all Apple products, and it’s user-friendliness is unparalleled! Cons Versus the other major office software companies, as aforementioned, Apple iWork, and especially Apple Pages, does have a few cons that prove against it in the race for best document software. Apple Pages is not extremely useful in terms of user-collaboration. Google Docs and Sheets here win the prize, as it was the pioneer of collabs on a single document and still is at the head of the “multiplayer” doc editing game. Apple Pages is also pretty basic in terms of detailed, articulate document and spreadsheet editing and utilization, Word and Excel here takes the cake.

Review Source Gary H. Marketing Specialist Machinery Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A capable and flexible solution for document creation " January 14, 2023 4.0 All in all, our team is very happy with the performance of Pages and have used it regularly as part of our workflow. While it lacks some of the flexibility competitors like Google Docs and MS Word have, it is extremely convenient, easy to use, and readily available on all of our Apple products. Pros I like the fact that Pages is already built into all of my Apple products and is available for free. Aside from that, I really like how many customizable templates are available in Pages. Our team regularly uses these templates as the starting point for many of our document projects. Cons If I had to nitpick and pick the things I least like about Pages it would be its overall lack of features and basic sharing/collaboration tools. Since pages is free, its suite of tools and features is a bit limited compared to some of its competitors like MS Word and Google Docs. I do feel that Google Docs offers a better real-time collaboration experience overall. Alternatives considered [Google Docs](https://www.capterra.com/p/160756/Google-Docs/)[Microsoft Word](https://www.capterra.com/p/227146/Microsoft-Word/) Reason for choosing Pages Pricing was a major concern along with compatibility. Pages was already available on our Apple computers, so we chose it instead of MS Word. Review Source RS Ryan S.

Lo consiglio vivamente a tutti coloro che utilizzano Mac. Secondo me è molto valido e altamente professionale. Pros Pages è un ottimo software per la gestione dei documenti testuali. Apple lo fornisce gratuitamente ai suoi utenti, quindi di utilizzo comune nell'ambito Apple e non ha niente di meno rispetto ad altri software a pagamento. Cons L'unico punto di svantaggio potrebbe essere la compatibilità con altri software, ma in realtà non so se è da imputare a Pages o agli altri software.
