Excellent but with some unresolved issues
I am using Numbers extensively and generally lobe it, but! I am not able to design my own Forms - the one in the app is excessively limited and I don’t like it. Also, page margins on Numbers for Ipad is not adjustable, at least not to the extent I need it. I need as much data on one page as possible, not wide margins. Margins are a very basic editing tool and yet is not available for I-Pad. This is a very poor show!
So, Apple, please ensure that all Numbers app variations can adjust margins, and please allow us to design our own Forms!

Better than Excel/Sheets
For most every day tasks, I find Numbers far superior and more enjoyable to work with vs. Excel or Google Sheets… for one simple reason: The core of how Numbers works allows multiple independent tables to be on each sheet. This allows other objects (shapes, text, etc. to be on the page simultaneously, like a page layout program). But the true power shines from simply having independent tables that can be side-by-side referencing each other. In many ways, it can serve as a complement to Google Sheets and Excel because most formulas work cross-platform, so you can copy and paste tables between the different applications.
Brilliant, Apple!

Problem launching the app after IOS 18 upgrade
The app hangs on the New Spreadsheet / Choose a Template step and can not move on to the actual app main screen.
Numbers makes me regret going with Apple
Absolutely the worst!!
I was told to go Apple-one of the worst decisions of my life.
Numbers is useless.

Simple, but capable
Numbers is intuitively easy to use, perfectly capable for anything at a domestic or light industrial level. I use Numbers for managing my private finances, creating and editing virtual accounts. I can track my saving for annual bills as well as day to day spending. Great for recording blood glucose and presenting data to doctor as a graph so we can monitor treatment. It’s also useful as a database, for instance make, model, serial number of tools and appliances - data are easy to store, sort, and retrieve.

My favorite spread sheet
However, it would be nice if you added a copy command to the bar so I don’t have to sit here for five minutes tapping the cell that has a formula in it until a box finally pops up with the copy command in it. I assume if I was using a keyboard with a track pad this wouldn’t be a problem. You could add it to your little paint brush icon. I have tried to search and find another way but the results always say just click the cell and select copy… except the only way is to sit here and tap the cell over and over again and hope that when it finally does pop up my reaction time is good enough that I don’t tap the cell again making the box disappear. 😊 Thank you.

Best Spreadsheet Ap Ever
Numbers is such an incredible app. It’s so intuitive and easy to use. It just works! Infinitely superior to the Google sheets which is difficult to use and just is awkward and doesn’t do the same job

Locks up frequently
I have an iPad with 16GB of RAM yet working in an intermediate spreadsheet, it constantly locks up with an “Updating Spreadsheet” error message which causes me to have to force quit the app and come back, losing work. On the Mac the same spreadsheet shows “calculating” and it takes forever to get said calculations to fill. This spreadsheet isn’t even 5MB In size so it’s not like it’s some power house spreadsheet. If Apple wants its devices and apps to be taken seriously in the business world, it starts with focusing on the tools that people are using and really making sure what you’re offering is functional. Microsoft’s not doing you any favors by watering down their apps either because it creates the perception that Apple makes toys and everyone else makes productivity machines. You would really be doing yourselves huge favors by really focusing on your productivity apps and how they perform for the daily business user.
