I’ve been using pages for a long time now, four years of writing and drafting bad books. I like it a lot but the newish update broke the magic of it for me a bit. It auto corrects stuff that didn’t need auto correcting and it’s tiring to go back and have to rewrite something that I could barley spell correctly in the first place (and Siri ain’t helping me half the time) so it would be good to remove that but I’m not stoping auto correct because that thing has saved me multiple times for being exposed as someone who spells at the third grade level. I’ve never published a book from pages so I can’t review that, but maybe I will one day. I think it’s better for drafting books than actually writing them and I’m not sure it’s just because I’ve used it longer than word but I find it easier to create documents (specifically bad books, did I mention that I write bad books) and just easier to navigate because you don’t a million different buttons to hit just to type out one word (not saying I don’t like word but I like pages better for certain things) I would like to make some suggestions though, like being able to cross out words (that would be really helpful for me as I said before, to help me create my bad books) and to be able to change the passwords you set on documents because I can’t believe how many times I’ve forgotten passwords to documents and yes, I do use finger print but that doesn’t work half the time. But over all it really is a great app to use if you are new to creating books and it’s free and pre installed so that’s great. From, A Bad Book Writer
Integration of a text database would be useful and set Pages above other Word processors
Wobbles1234567890
An important idea. I find that much software ignores the needs of students.By introducing a database into Pages, much like the handling of paragraph styles, a student could give descriptions to paragraphs like topics, sub-topics or categories for later collation and then to be used as a beginning of their own article on those topics or issues. More usefulness would also arise if the original source document’s Title, author and date of authorship was collected automatically to then provide footnotes in the student’s own, new document.Important:None of this idea is to suggest a ‘copy and paste’ exercise nor to replace the act of reading but to make it easier for the students to ‘assemble their reading’ and use it as a starting point in their own new document.This idea would work best when it can reference multiple documents. This may necessitate the importation of those documents from various sources into the one Pages document and allow the database part of Pages to ‘know’ the source of the selected paragraphs - and with a bit of clever programming, the Author, document date etc. even the page number…but I’m dreaming.This is a bit more than you were expecting…Cheers, Colin Purnell.
New Update is confusing
Scoopinbeans
I haven’t been on pages for a hot minute so idk when it exactly got this update, but it is confusing to use. As someone that has used the app on the iPad for years, it is frustrating to go onto the app and see what was once different written documents that had been organised under different files suddenly all together and not organised at all. Idk what’s what anymore on the app and have to actually go into the document to see what it is. Idk if you CAN organise the documents into seperate files anymore like you used to be able to because I can’t find anything about it for the iPad online. Just very disappointed and frustrated with what I once thought was a more user friendly and intuitive alternative for writing documents. I’ve also been seeing a lot of people say it also isn’t saving properly. I haven’t used it enough lately to see that effect of the update so I can’t comment on it, but I will say it definitely doesn’t endear me any more to use the app than what the disorganised documents do. Overall, hopefully I can figure out how to put my documents into different groups again. I think you can do it on the Mac but have no idea about the iPad. You really shouldn’t have to use more than one app for something that used to be all in the one app. Sigh, again I just needed to rant about the confusing and unneeded update.
New Update is Terrible
cats aj
I loved Pages and have been using it for three years now. I like to write creative stories and it was great to have an app automatically downloaded onto my device so I could do just that. The way the thumbnails were organised was nice (plus you could change the way it was aligned), and you could sort by now you wanted things ordered (name, size, date, etc).However, for some reason, these features have been removed in the new update? Unless I’m missing something, there is now no way to change the way the thumbnails are set and how to sort your documents. The new layout is atrocious and turns me off. I hate how small and cluttered it all looks now, this wouldn’t even be an issue if it was customisable! I used to be able to sort my stories form oldest so that I could look back and read my old work to see my improvement. Before I could just tap a simple button and boom! Sorted. Now I have to manually find my old work, which is way less efficient.If these features haven’t been removed and I’m just being stupid, then I humbly take back what I have said and apologise. But until I’m corrected or these wondrous features come back, I am sadly going to have to find an alternate for Pages.
This update contains bug fixes and performance improvements.
