It is a very good app!
I mostly use this app for school and to write/type and there really nothing wrong with it right now! :D
Creator Studio Upselling is Bad
I used to love Pages, but I don’t appreciate this new “updated” version that has Creator Studio advertising all over the application. I just want a simple word editor, not another subscription. I uninstalled this version and reinstalled the older version.
TOC generation is broken
The function to auto generate a table of contents is broken. All the words are squished to the left, and you can’t fix it because unlike the Pages for Mac, Pages for iPad doesn’t have tab settings. Apparently this has been an issue for years and Apple has never bothered to fix it.
More problems for Intel based iMacs
I’ve been using Apple Pages and until a couple of months ago have not had any issues until I attempted to update a couple of documents I have for medical information that I share between my home iMac and my iPhone and iPad recently when I go to update a document and try to save it, It refuses to sync to the iCloud drive.

Great for Advertisement &
Greeting cards. Glad to have gotten to know this application very well. P.S. always’s look for extra’s they might be formatted incorrectly. Also check Books and reader also. This will set you free! Enjoy a nice book and a cup of tea!
Broken Promise
On April 18, 2017 Apple said the iWork apps would now be free for anyone. It was one of my biggest “selling” points when convincing people to switch from Windows. AusAppleFan is less of a fan of Apple now. I don’t think Apple understands what this cash grab does to their reputation. Whats next? “privacy is a fundamental human right”? AusAppleDisappointed

Pretty great
I was apprehensive about downloading the program because of the negative reviews. After all, the last time I used Pages was on my iMac G5 two decades ago, and there was a good chance that it had gotten much worse since then. I finally bit the bullet today, after also trying out the equally great Apple Intelligence to create a few worksheets for students, and was surprised to discover that Pages is smooth, fast and works great for what I do. It was so good, in fact, that I decided to switch over to it entirely. Not bad for a free program.

Collaboration is broken
Most people’s negative reviews seem to focus on the new subscription model but that’s really a non-issue as you can just ignore it to continue to use the same features as always. People are just knee jerking there. The actual problem with Numbers/Pages/Keynote is that a major feature is supposed to be the ability to collaborate on documents with other people in iCloud, yet seemingly every single app version roll-out and now even macOS version roll-out suddenly disables that collaboration until everyone updates. This kind of volatility makes reliable day-to-day collaboration in any working group unreliable and not practical. Especially given that OS updates are far from trivial to perform. In the end these apps remain toys, crippled by the inability to grasp priorities in design and features that has plagued Apple since Jobs died. Despite all owning Macs we have no choice but to stumble forward with Google’s online offerings.

Not optimized for Mac Neo
I’m a writer, and I use this app all of the time, it’s one of the greatest apps you can use to write and edit unpublished books. But when you use it on the MacBook Neo, the app simply keeps crashing, I have lost a lot of information due to this problem. If anyone knows how to fix it, let me know. Otherwise I think I’ll have to invest in a better macbook

Awesome App
I think Pages is a great app. It’s great for adults and kids. If you have a printer, you can print it out. And if you want color, you CAN!
smh
So basically getting closer to MS word but not quite. And now it’s not even and update to the previous pages. I had to download a whole new app? Apple, do better.
You have to buy to get anything
Great a new thing Apply wants me to pay for. >:| Unless you buy Creator Studio all you get is 5 options: blank, Classic Letter, 1 CV, 1 Report and 1 Essay. You can’t access anything under Education, Certificates, Organizers, Newsletters, Brochures, Business, Cards, Invitations, Announcements or Posters. Can’t even make a simple to do list or table.

No Line Breaks on iPadOS
This app is fine but it’s almost worthless if SHIFT + RETURN doesn’t produce a line break (soft return). Even File > Insert > Line Break does nothing.
Extortionate cash grab. Look elsewhere.
I used to love this app. It came with my Mac, it was clean, and it worked beautifully. Now, Apple has turned it into a sneaky cash grab.
They stripped out the free themes we already owned and locked them behind a ridiculous monthly paywall. Do not download this app. There are famous, completely free, open-source office suites available on the web that will do your job just fine without trying to nickel-and-dime you. Avoid this greed.

Honestly the best
I’ve been writing for just over twenty years now, and have been using the Pages app for about two years give or take. And I can honestly say out of all the different programs/apps I’ve used for writing, I love the Pages app so much. It’s perfect to have on my iPhone and iPad. I’m extremely happy I can save to my iCloud and then write on one device and then switch to another and pick right back up where I left off.
My ONLY complaint is that there is no dark mode. Literally the only thing I have a problem with, with this app. Everything else has been amazing and I’ve had no problems whatsoever in the few years I’ve been using it. I just wish it had dark mode for when I’m writing at night.
Other than that, I’d recommend it to anyone with an iPhone and/or iPad because it’s been just that great.

Can’t Copy/Paste from Previous Pages Doc
Since support for the old free Pages 14.5 is going away I decided to download the new Pages 15.4 as well as the new Numbers 15.4. I tried to copy text from a Pages 14.5 document and paste into 15.4 and it would not paste. I could see “Edit” in the menu bar flash when I pasted but nothing pasted. I could sometimes get copy/paste from an email to work. Complete frustration. Why would I pay for this if copy/paste doesn’t work. Apple really needs to reconsider their subscription model. If I have to pay to get a word processor and spreadsheet to work, it looks like I’ll have to return to Microsoft for the first time in 18 years. I’ve raved about Pages and Numbers for years, and now I don’t have a good thing to say about it. What a shame.

Works ok
Works ok for basic
More subscriptions
Another Apple app begging you for subscriptions.
Well done Apple you’re turning in to the thing you used to hate

Nice
Love it but sometimes my work disappears. Might just be a Mac problem.
Turned Very Unreliable
After spending a lot time on the phone with Apple Support, still had problems.. even after my brand new M5 2026 MacBook Pro has been set up new, Pages still won’t save properly, tells me I don’t have permissions to access my own files even though permissions have been set correctly and it won’t export a pdf. A recent update has fixed nothing and it seems that I’m not the only one who experiences this. 6K spent on a new MacBook Pro and Pages won’t even work.
