"So easy to use, prefer this for creating just about any doc"
5/5
What do you like best about Pages?

I can create invoices, service agreements, just about any template - quickly. I prefer working with Pages over some "other" word processors because I can easily manipulate a document to look exactly how I want it to appear without getting caught up in boundary lines. What I see on the screen is what comes out. I can also quickly use it to draft templates that I can immediately export to pdfs. Magnifique! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pages?

I don't really dislike anything about Pages. As someone who originally comes from a background in PC - this is so much easier to use, especially if I'm adding a table and entering data. I can add graphics and I don't have to stress about layers and where the object goes when I change the size. Its a pretty intuitive application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Use only if other options not available"
1.5/5
What do you like best about Pages?

Pages provides a platform where you can type, manipulate text, and store written information. You can also open some types of files with pages. It is the product most similar to "notes" or "notepad" Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pages?

Pages is not as clean as Word or even Google Docs. The formatting is not easily transferable and is not used by the majority of people making files in pages difficult to transfer or use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Apple Pages Benefits"
4/5
What do you like best about Pages?

Great word processing application for newbies or students. Excellent for collaborating across Apple devices. Great alternative to Microsoft suite, since it comes free with Apple products. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pages?

If you want to share a document with someone, you will most likely run into problems if they do not use Pages. You can easily avoid this by converting it into a PDF but this makes it impossible for the other person to edit it without having to create a whole new doc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Intuitive translation app"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Pages?

I love that this application exists for Apple users, free of charge. It came with my computer, ready to use out of the box without activating or subscribing. The application itself is simple and easy to use. Pages does not appear as busy as competing applications like Word, so it makes using the application more enjoyable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pages?

Unfortunately, Word is the gold standard. File formats do not translate well when going from Pages to Word, but I was still able to generate a pdf of my file to send to colleagues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Pages is a great alternative for the Mac"
2.5/5
What do you like best about Pages?

Pages allows you to create and edit word documents and more. I'm very impressed how you can not only do the basic MS type functions but you can also convert your created documents to pdfs and images. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pages?

I dislike the conversion factor of Pages. In order to save any .doc files you need to convert the format to .pages. While this might seem like a minor inconvenience. It's the constant process of changing file formats back and forth that's a pain due to formatting issues from Mac to PC or even from Mac to Google drive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Powerful and simple"
4/5
What do you like best about Pages?

One of the things I like most about Apple's software is they do their best to make them as user-friendly and straightforward as possible. This is the same with Pages. Apple made this very simplistic in its layout, making it simple to focus on whatever I'm writing. Much less likely to get distracted by all the buttons and features. I used Pages to write a book and it worked very well. The formatting tools are powerful and easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pages?

I don't like that pages doesn't seem to fully transfer in format when exported as a Microsoft Word document. When opened in Word, not everything is the same, and that's annoying. But for the most part, I either send Pages format or PDFs which works perfectly for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"works well"
4/5

"Flexible, easy to use, free"
5/5
What do you like best about Pages?

You open it and start writing/editing: no need to watch tutorials or demo, it's so easy and intuitive that it feels like the most natural task you've ever done on a pc. And in the end you really get what you see: you can export it in pdf or word (or save it in pages, of course). You can combine text, images, plots and tables (same engine of Numbers, another free tool from Apple). Best writing sofware I ever met! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pages?

Managing pagination of long (several pages) documents could be improved: it's probably the least intuitive operation in pages. Importing/exporting in Word can sometimes spoil the layout (usually when the original Word document contains special graphics or effects). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
