"Good for specific and simple templates"

4/5

What do you like best about Apple Numbers?

I like the ease of the templates it offers. It has so many practical templates for traveling, attendance, budget views and easily converts files to pdf. I love the availibility it has to be used in many platforms. You can use an app on an iOS device or from a browser and it will have most of the same availabilities. It works great when zooming in or start typing, on smaller devices, unlike other programs that redirect your view when you start typing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apple Numbers?

I dislike the complexity to insert a formula or creating one. For example if you just want a sum of column or row you can't just highlight and press enter or press equal sign and enter like Excel or Sheets. Also, the colors for cells are limited. Sometimes it will redirect to a color grid and sometimes not. I do wish you can do a bit more on a non PC device as to other platforms. But, it has left it to basics when it's a mobile device.

Recommendations to others considering Apple Numbers:

If you're looking for something quick and simple to create list, data input, attendance or budget views this is the spreadsheet program for you. It also easily goes with iOS devices. It would work well on the browser as well for those without iOS devices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Apple Numbers solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use it for attendance. There is already a template for that and I love it! Easily input your data and the boxes and checkboxes are already there. Also, I use it for travel budget. It's easy to find a template that has the data sheet and a pie chart or bar graph for quick view. Converting to PDF files on a mobile device is my favorite. It's much easier than any other platform I use on a mobile device, including Google Sheets and Excel. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The only thing Apple couldnt compete with Microsoft"

1.5/5

What do you like best about Apple Numbers?

Apple numbers is a smoother version of Excel. It is really built well and has a lot of templates which. might be useful to people. It is a great software to do calculations, accoutning and analysis or any data and it is easy to use. The cross sync function with apple id is amazing! Customer support is really well for Apple products. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apple Numbers?

This tool is not as great as its competitor which is MS Excel. The first problem is that it is not available on all devices. It works solely with Apple Devices. The UI seems very simple but this is meant to do complex tasks, which users cant do easily compared to other tools. This is not so easy to integrate in your day to day lives. I do not use it frequenctly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to use and learn spreadsheet software"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Apple Numbers?

Ease of use, fully integrated into Mac systems. User friendly to the point of almost seeming overly simplistic, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apple Numbers?

Not as many options as Excel, but that might not be a bad thing. Sometimes Excel can be intimidating with all the features, to the point you feel like you need to break out a thick manual to know how to use everything. Numbers makes everything easy and gives you what the average person needs with a spreadsheet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Apple Numbers solving and how is that benefiting you?

It has been a huge help in the world of inventory. I managed a craft beer bar with 48 beers on tap and over a hundred bottles and/or cans at any point in time. Keeping track of them could have been a nightmare, but I devised a system with Numbers that helped keep track of everything, how many units I was going through a month/week/year and would formulate averages for me as well.

"Apple Numbers - Making My Daily Life Easy"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Apple Numbers?

Ever since I made the switch to MacBook, Apple Numbers has been my go-to for keeping my life organized.

The built-in templates are like my secret weapons—especially the ones for tracking my financial portfolio and managing my budget. Being a busy MBA student and juggling freelance gigs, I need to stay on top of my earnings, expenses, and stocks, and Apple Numbers makes it a breeze. It's like having a personal assistant for my finances. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apple Numbers?

One key challenge I've encountered with Apple Numbers is its compatibility hurdle, especially when collaborating on MBA teamwork projects. While I find it incredibly handy for personal use, the snag arises when syncing up with my team. Given that many of my teammates aren't Apple aficionados and lean towards Excel, coordinating on projects becomes a bit of a juggle.

The compatibility mismatch between Apple Numbers and Excel, often due to varied platform preferences among team members, means I'm compelled to pivot back to Excel for seamless collaboration. It's a bit like straddling two worlds—I love the ease of Numbers for my personal tracking, but the team dynamics pull me back into the Excel orbit for the sake of teamwork harmony. It's a small hiccup in an otherwise smooth experience, but it does highlight the importance of seamless cross-platform collaboration tools in a mixed-tech environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Apple Numbers solving and how is that benefiting you?

The in built-in templates are a huge help, especially when it comes to tracking my financial game and managing the budget hustle.

As an MBA student juggling studies/projects and freelance gigs, life gets a bit chaotic. But here's where Apple Numbers steps in as my financial superhero. Tracking earnings, keeping tabs on expenses, and even diving into the stock market frenzy—all in one place.

Being a freelancer means my income isn't your typical 9-to-5 deal. It fluctuates, it surprises, and it keeps me on my toes. Apple Numbers, with its intuitive interface and snazzy templates, turns this financial rollercoaster into a joyride. I can visualize my earnings, see where my money is going, and plan for the future with a clarity I never had before.

And if I talk about investing in stocks, I can monitor my stock portfolio, track trends, and make informed decisions without needing a finance degree.

So, in a nutshell, Apple Numbers isn't just a spreadsheet tool; it's my financial guru. It's the reason I can confidently say my personal finances have gone from chaotic to calculated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A good enough app for spreadsheets"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Apple Numbers?

Mostly everyday tasks can be easily done. The visualisation is up to the mark with wide range of templates as option which can beautify the work and create a strong impact. Once onboarded with the features, the app then becomes very easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apple Numbers?

The onboarding and getting acquainted with the app can take some time for new users. The UX is very apple user specific. Also, there are some limitations when it comes to integrating software with other applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Apple Numbers solving and how is that benefiting you?

Apple is in right direction to make its users acquainted with the app having a UI and UX in such a way that apple users can easily understand. All of the features are very user friendly for apple users and even if you're using any spreadsheet tool for the first time but are renowned with other apple applications, then getting onboarded with Numbers app will not take much time for you. It helps us to provide KT to other new users in a much efficient and convenient way. The sharing feature of iCoud drive also allows us to view and edit sheets in almost real time. The UI and templates are very frequently used by us to provide insights by performing our analysis on data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Not an Excel alternative, but still great on its own!!!"

4/5

What do you like best about Apple Numbers?

While it has mainly all formulas and functions that Excel provides, that is not where it shiens. It works much better when you create a simple form with a great UI to input data on a spreadsheet. Data validation in every field is much better and a lot more convenient and there are a lot of presets from which you could choose. The form is actually very to implement and you could lock the database so the form is the only way to update it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apple Numbers?

Definitely not as powerful as Excel with things like Pivot Tables. The form is mainly convenient on mobile, on Mac it might seem far too basic. The spreadsheet is still not as convenient to fill with very few shortcuts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
