    I like your content and how organized this app is it’s just there’s some small minor errors in my opinion, which are just a small suggestion, which is when you capitalize a made up word in most writing apps, it acts as a title, which doesn’t add the red things underneath the word, but this app doesn’t have that which makes me a little bit sad because I want to be able to make a made up word like a name, without it, being underlined with red, which can get kind of annoying. And a error is whenever you try to change the size of a word or sentence maybe even the rest of the story or what you’re writing about it glitches and doesn’t let you change the size and less you do it like 1000 times so that’s just like a little error that I’m hoping you guys can fix it. I’m not asking for much here. I’m saying you guys app is a good app. I’m just hoping you guys can make some miners movements, you don’t have to that I just suggest it thank you for listening to my comment. Thank you. 🥲
  • Fantastic Program

    So I am not sure why pages gets so many bad reviews. This is a fantastic word processor program. It might not have all the “full desktop” features as Microsoft Office on PC has but the truth of the matter is few people need or would ever use all of the features Microsoft office has. Pages has worked near flawlessly. It is easy to find the features you need and navigate through the app. Very stable and looks good. This is all I use anymore for any kind of writing or longer notes that I have to write. I used to own a surface pro and used PC my whole life before coming to iPad and I can tell you I don’t miss Microsoft office at all. The only thing I wish pages had (and this would include Pages on Mac) is the ability to have both footnotes and endnotes on the same document. Being forced to select one or the other is annoying however in practical terms, writing papers in college only usually requires one or the other.
  • AMAZING

    Me and my friend has been writing a movie for two years and just a few months ago did I discover pages. We had been using Apple Notes, but it was becoming harder and harder to use especially as the movie progressed. One of my friends who has an iPhone 12 told me it took up way too much storage and it slowed the whole app down. I knew I had to do something or else the script wouldn’t last and the movie would have to be forgotten. I started looking and almost had my mind sent on using google docs or even Microsoft Word until I was scrolling three my phone and found an app wig a pen. I tapped on it, and it turned out that this app had everything I was looking for. The collaboration form was THE BEST. On other apps I’ve used when people can work together it always goes slow and people end up deleting each others work.

    So I guess what I’m trying to say is that pages is an amazing app and I’m glad I stumbled across it. I love all the cool features!
  • Pages— What it Can Do

    See, for all my life I’ve been itching to write Warriors, Survivors, Wings of Fire, and Bravelands fan fiction. Pages helps me do all that and open up to new experiences! The one thing Pages can’t do is help the small amount of courage you have, but it can encourage you to write things and stories and reports, Pages is completely reliable! I encourage any readers to try pages, because I’ve seen people ignore this extremely fun and useful app. I hope they see sense in using Pages soon, because they will have lost a good app right there if they don’t. Pages lets you write anything (I write stories for my eyes only for fun not on the book form,) and lets you use bold, underline, crossing out something, and slanting the words as though the character was thinking it. Pages also corrects any error you may make, is printable, gives page thumbnails, you can center the text, and so much more! If you need an app for anything at all including writing, Pages is that app! Turn to Pages, and you won’t regret it! When any person that may want to be an author writes here and publishes it, it’s all with Pages’ help! They show true helpfulness by letting you write what you need. Now, if anyone doubts Pages’ greatness, go try it, and you’ll regret what you thought before, and, hopefully, try to spread the news of Pages to the world— Pages is not for one person, it’s for all!
  • This is great for writing

    I love pages and have literally created 100’s of documents. I write stories and this has been the only app that has worked. I would like to be able to change where the word count starts in my document as I put my background, and character info in the same file, but I’ve bee able to make it work. I was able to create a template and use it but it’s sort of annoying that you can’t get to it from a icloud.

    Overall the ease of writing is great, it’s not a distracting format, it would be nice to have the ability to look at a specific page or notes on a side menu while I’m writing, but I’m able to navigate to my notes page with the table of contents. Putting a description on the file would be awesome too.

    I’ve tried most of the writing software out there, scrivener, living writer, and a ton of others but I find this to be the easiest to keep everything in one place. I can open it on anything and not lose my work, look at past versions etc, share it, and read it on my kindle app. It doesn’t work that well with the accessibility function of voice over as it will stop after about three pages and then you have to scroll through to find your place and keep reading but most people don’t probably use that function. I find listening to my story helps me find errors.
    I’ve been able to add pictures, drawings, and use my apple pencil to write in Pages. This is a powerful app that work well.
  • Improvements to Pages

    I like most features, and Pages generally works well. I use it mostly on my iPad.

    Recently there has been a change to the “Find” function. The widget isn’t completely opaque, so it’s hard to read until I touch the widget. Also, in the past, repeating the keyboard shortcut (Command-F) would close the find function. That no longer works, forcing me to touch “Done” to close the find widget. The less Pages forces me to touch the screen, the better.

    I used to be able to toggle the Command key to cause the text cursor to disappear (I assume taking me out of edit mode). After that the up/down arrows can scroll in either direction. That no longer works. Now I must touch the screen to get out of input/edit mode. If I forget to do this, scroll the text, then hit enter, Pages zips back to the location of the text cursor and I have to manually scroll to find my place in the text. And it would be nice to have a keyboard shortcut to page forward and back instead of scrolling.

  • Overlooking options

    Hi guys, I tend to use a USB keyboard when working on my ipad. I just realized that if I want to insert something as simple as a page break, I was never able to find it. Turns out that the options for this are attached to the virtual keyboard and it doesn’t show up when using a USB one. So I have to turn it off to pull the virtual keyboard, select the option and reconnect again, all for a a simple function that should be in the regular main menu.
    I have been working with pages since it launched on the MAC and always appreciated the level of detail in formatting options and convenience and I must say it has become quite counter intuitive and reduced in the app. I use my ipad as my main device now and think that with the new processors and 15 years later we would see a radical improvement, but it’s disconcerting when the apps from that time are better and easier to use.
    I wanted to send nothing but constructive feedback with the best intentions as I always thought apple was in the smart path of thoughtfulness rather than making everything trendy and minimal to a fault. Thanks
  • SO GREAT! I Love to Write Complex Stories…PERFECT!!!!

    I downloaded this app because my mom’s phone had it, I used it once for sending notes to my dad…then I wrote a story called “The Mystery of Get Going the Goat”!!! It was pretty good, I mean it went a little off track, but mainly it was about a golden goat (Goldie) living at the petting zoo in Stokey Farms who wants to figure out more about her neighbor, a black goat 🐐 called Get Going. So Goldie joins a a mystery club called T.M.O.G.G.T.G. (The Mystery of Get Going the Goat), with a bunny and a sheep. It wasn’t very complex but I recently started a script for a play I’m calling “Teen.” This play is going to feature a black teenage girl called Everly who unlocks the mysterious mystery of her barber Don, who runs Don’s Barbershop. Along the way she’ll make a girlfriend and get rid of Lucia, the old good-fir-nothin’ “friend” who’s been whispering about Everly behind her back for YEARS. Anyway, it’s a great app and you’ve GOT to download it!!!

  • Good start

    I have been using Pages for a long time now, and I think that it is overall a fantastic app. However, there are some glitches that are not helpful and using the app extraordinarily difficult to start. The auto correction is too extreme whenever I would type simple words such as because or table, it would put a red line under it, saying that I spelled it wrong. I would check all of the words that I got wrong using a dictionary, and I still got the same result. I had to fix this by turning off the auto correction completely, which wasn’t what I wanted to do because it’s some cases I do want the auto correct, but not in cases where it is that extreme. Secondly, the templates are super Jenkee. I cannot get a single one of them to work like they are supposed to. I can’t find a way to change the background on any of the templates, so I just had to start with a blank book. not to mention the pages have a weird gibberish title, Erna sempter and it’s not helpful because what I need is just a blank line with spacing and a chapter 1 where I have to delete so much that I don’t have any room to actually write a novel. starting with a blank document is the only thing that works well and even that Jenkee. If you could, please change these this would be a very good app and it would be just like word. I would appreciate it if these changes were made thank you very much.
