I have been using Pages for about 10 years and I love seeing new integrations and updates over time, it is also helpful to have a word doc application that does not take up additional storage on my laptop.
Pros
I like that it is the apple version installed app that is automatically synced to other Apple devices and easy to use.
Cons
I dont like the limitations if needed work work and personal use. I use apple and dell products.

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.

It’s very nice and I would recommend it to everyone that need to write and edit notes. It’s free and it’s complete
Pros
I like that it’s completely free and I can have it on all my devices so I can edit my files from everywhere.
Cons
The thing that I like least about Pages is the fact that you can’t customise the tool bar but it’s premade

What it does, it does it really well
Reviewed on 2023/11/12
Pros
It's great with imports from MS Word but I tend to have problems exporting to word. It does however export to PDF pretty well. It's also helpful that you get it free with any Mac you purchase unlike MS Word
Cons
It's high entry price if anything. You get it free with a Mac but I don't see many people paying for it standalone. Not sure about the windows version

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.

For Apple users, Pages is a good word processor, though it lacks many power features

I have used Pages since it was first introduced over 15 years ago and have almost always preferred it to competing products - especially Microsoft Word and Google Docs. Pages has a nice clean interface, great support for inserting and manipulating media items, and is generally just nicer to use than other products.
Pros
The main selling point of Pages is that it is free for Apple users and is available on all Apple platforms (Mac, iOS and iPadOS). Being a free piece of software, Pages is quite capable, with multiple formatting options and good media integration. In addition, for iCloud users, Pages seamlessly syncs with iCloud Drive and allows for multiple people to collaborate on a single document. In addition, Pages has a clean and easy to use interface, and its feature set is comparable across all platforms.
Cons
There are two major downsides to Pages - it is Apple only and lacks many of the more powerful features of competing word processors (such as Microsoft Word). While there is a web based version that can be accessed from any platform, it isn't a great experience (especially when compared to Google Docs). For most users that need a free cross-platform alternative to Word, OpenOffice and LibreOffice offers a good alternative; though at this point many people choose to go with Google Docs out of sheer convenience. In addition, for collaboration purposes, Pages is really only useful if both people use Macs.
Reasons for Switching to Pages
I primarily use Pages for personal documents, or documents that won't need to be shared with others (outside of converting them to a PDF). In general I prefer Pages over other products mainly because it has a nice clean interface, and it work seamlessly across all Apple platforms. However, when it comes to needing to collaborate with others, I often turn to other word processors - primarily Microsoft Word or Google Docs.- Industry: Publishing

Pages is a strong and free alternative to Microsoft Word for Apple product users. Though Word remains the preferred document processing tool for its extensive features, Pages has given me enough on my personal MacBook that I haven't felt any desire to pay for Word.
Pros
Pages offers a slick design easy for preparing or editing documents. There are a number of templates available to begin the document and a number of tools within, from adjusting the style and layout to creating and adding tables and charts.
Cons
Pages does not have all of the extensive features Microsoft Word offers. Pages can open Word files, but this sometimes introduces errors. The default save file for Pages is .pages which Word users are unable to open - though Pages users can export their file to a .docx.

It's lovely that this software creates all document format. It can also serve as a security feature leaving the document in the format it was designed with rather than exporting to work, excel etc.
Cons

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.

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.

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.

Overall very positive. Recently, I have been working on call sheets collaboratively on a film. My colleague can feed me information over the phone on the go and I can change it. And she can do the same. We can also work on the same document at the same time. Amazing.
Pros
I love the simplicity and collaboration features of pages. It’s very easy to learn to use and extremely simple and fast to share and collaborate with others.
Cons
It’s not for pc users. I understand why Apple does that but I don’t like it. Pc users can use the browser version but I’m not sold on that just yet. It still seems like a “work around”

The best word processor
Reviewed on 2022/06/12
Pros
Considering that it is a free program at Apple, it really has enormous value. It has nothing to envy to Microsoft Word, on the contrary: compared to Microsoft's competitor, Pages is much lighter, documents open quickly and in general there is a much more agile use of the system. Also great for converting to PDF and for use on mobile devices such as Iphone or Ipad
Cons
It's a great program, I don't think it needs further improvement

I like using Pages because it fits in well with my Apple ecosystem. The interface clears away all the unneeded features so I can just get to work without clutter. However, I've noticed that something as simple as formatting bullet lists can turn into a big deal. Once you get used to it, you'll figure out where the settings are so it is manageable if you don't have a lot of heavy formatting requirements. It's a great alternative to Microsoft Office if you are invested in the Apple ecosystem and don't need all the bells and whistles.
Pros
It's so easy to create documents and access them or handoff to other Apple devices. It's simple interface makes it easy to open quickly and get started.
Cons
Many of the features are kind of hidden to keep the interface simple. This can result in making it more difficult to create documents with a lot of formatting.

What can't you do in Pages?!

For a non-designer, I can get a whole lot done through Pages. Once you get a handle on the drawing tools, groups and layering, it's pretty quick and easy to design simple documents.
