### 2/5 — Getting worse

*2026-08-28, version 15.3*

I don’t know why Apple can’t figure out how to make this more user friendly.  It’s actually getting worse.  It’s probably because they’re letting AI do the programming.

### 3/5 — Kinda confusing but COOL!!!

*2026-08-27, version 15.3*

okay so i tried it and its SO COOL!!! I can create files, write whatever i want in them, and you can EVEN SET THE BACKGROUND?!? THATS SO COOL!!!

Only bad thing about it is that theres mo tut for setting the background, etc etc.

Bye!

### 3/5 — Just looking!

*2026-08-27, version 15.3*

Seeing what the limits are for sharing project notes and documents.

### 4/5 — Like the Pages app

*2026-08-27, version 15.3.1*

I use the Pages app to rewrite an old manuscript.  It does a great job.  The only thing that I have a problem with is the PC & woke bias that keeps cropping up.  So I have to closely scrutinize the pronouns and such like.  Annoying but worth the hassle.

### 4/5 — It is ok

*2026-08-27, version 15.3.1*

I wish there was a “save as” option and that it would recognize Brazilian characters better.

### 4/5 — Object Edges

*2026-08-26, version 15.3.1*

Love Pages but find it hard to grab the edges of objects to edit them sometimes tsk

### 3/5 — Ok

### 3/5 — Page shifts when clicked

*2026-08-26, version 15.3.1*

Pages shift up or down when  the page is clicked for corrections or text will be added. Very annoying.

### 5/5 — Pages

*2026-08-26, version 15.3*

It’s okay it is just an app don’t do this again

### 4/5 — Takes up too much memory

*2026-08-26, version 15.3*

I do like this program as a slightly more cumbersome and clunky but workable alternative to Word, but the files are almost 10 times as big as identical word files – which has implications long-term for memory and storage.

### 5/5 — Everything You Need

*2026-08-26, version 15.3.1*

This app has everything you need, and isn’t confusing. Definitely recommend.

### 4/5 — Ravens

*2026-08-26, version 15.3*

Lamar Jackson is the goat, the ravens are going all the way this year, you can’t stop King Henry, Jacoby Lane is the best wide receiver two in the league, Roquan and Teddye are the best linebacker duo in the league. I can’t wait till I see purple confetti all over the field in Sofi Stadium, and Jesse Minter holding up the Lombardi trophy in the air.🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛🏈🏈🏉🏉🏉🏈🏈🏈🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛🏆🥇🥇🥇🏅🏆🏆

### 5/5 — Review 5 Stars

*2026-08-26, version 15.3*

It is great I can write all my notes in and all my to-do list

### 4/5 — Good, but AAAA WHY DO THE PAGES IN A DOC GROUP SO IF I TRY TO DELETE ONE I HAVE TO DELETE EVERYTHING

*2026-08-26, version 15.3*

I had to recently put down Freeform because it was just like “oh you want me to work for more than 2 seconds? NAAAAAHH” So I use this now, but PLEASE make it so you can turn off the feature, or at least be able to ungroup them 🏧

### 5/5 — Wow

*2026-08-25, version 15.3.1*

I Enjoy pages as it is much more user friendly and does not have all the tools screaming at you like Microsoft Word. It’s worth the switch.

### 1/5 — Annoying glitches

*2026-08-27, version 15.3.1*

I find the newest version of Pages very annoying.
It routinely indents when I don’t want it to and sometimes takes a sentence I am typing and puts it in the middle of the previous paragraph. It also quite commonly will substitute  a word I am typing for  another that is similar. 

Certain features ,like underlining will continue intermittently when you have turned them off.
I didn’t have any of these issues with the old
version.

### 1/5 — Fewer features, more in the way of writing

*2026-08-26, version 15.3*

I immediately found no carryover of Recents when first launching the updated version, and struggled for 15 minutes to then find, and attempt to generate a single document using the word “Free” in a font larger than 80pts, and finally gave up to write this review of the worst piece of Apple software I’ve used in 3 decades

### 1/5 — Painful to use

*2026-08-26, version 15.3.1*

Why would I ever use this

### 1/5 — It’s sad, very sad, that

*2026-08-26, version 15.3.1*

. . . . in 2026 the Wizards at Apple haven’t figured out how to simply alphabetize a column.  MicroSoft did it years ago.
Oh! and while I have your attention, trying to do lets say a newsletter or catalog page with Pages ~ Pages is NO Pagemaker.  Gee, how I miss Pagemaker.

### 1/5 — Do not use for page layout

*2026-08-25, version 15.3.1*

If you need to control where items land on your page, for say a flyer, find a different tool. Pages does not let you position things accurately and doe some truly wonky text wrapping. Oh PageMaker, how I miss thee…

### 1/5 — Very Bad

*2026-08-25, version 15.3.1*

I can’t even do undo and if you accidently delete somethings you can’t take it back! it’s just suck and very bad document ever!!! Yes In everythings. I’ve been using Mac and I love Apple excpet This Pages: Create Documents. I hope they delete this app permanently!

### 1/5 — All Apple products suck

*2026-08-25, version 15.3*

Apple has to do things the Apple way and it is the HARDEST WAY FATHOMABLE.  And support is awful!

### 1/5 — Useless

*2026-08-24, version 15.3.1*

Nothing ever works to submit any document made with Pages. Just use Word.

### 1/5 — you kinda suck?

*2026-08-24, version 15.3.1*

I dunno why but I just hate it

### 1/5 — Pages document errors

*2026-08-24, version 15.3.1*

On updating Pages App …. I now get a message with every pages document that I can no longer save the document and it will be permanently deleted on this volume. What in the world is up with that?

### 5/5 — Double Screen on Start

*2026-08-27, version 15.3*

Love the app on iPad, the only thing to fix is the welcome screen gets overlapped by the open file screen.  Gives the visual of a popup that can’t be closed.

### 5/5 — More themes needed

*2026-08-27, version 15.3.1*

Pages is a good word processor, unfortunately, Apples introduction of a charging plan for themes is disappointing.  The themes that come with the application are dated, and a subscription to Apple Creator Studio is required to benefit from new themes.

### 5/5 — Amazing Tool

*2026-08-27, version 15.3.1*

Pages has become more than simply a place to write—it is an essential part of the creative process. Its clean, intuitive design makes it easy to move from the first spark of an idea to a beautifully organized manuscript without the technology getting in the way of the words. Pages provides the flexibility to shape each book with care, from thoughtful typography and page layout to the small visual details that help a finished work feel distinctly like a Mill Plains publication. There is something especially satisfying about being able to write, revise, design, and watch a book take its final form within the same elegant workspace. For an independent publisher that values both the substance of the writing and the experience of the reader, Pages offers an uncommon combination of simplicity, control, and creative freedom—and it has become a natural home for bringing Mill Plains books to life.

### 5/5 — Helpful

*2026-08-27, version 15.3*

Very helpful and easy to use

### 5/5 — It’s good

*2026-08-27, version 15.3.1*

It is really great.
Suck it, Google Docs.

### 5/5 — Publishing Capable

*2026-08-27, version 15.3.1*

I’ve used Pages for years.  It’s not the same as Word, it is actually a lot like Publisher or QuarkXPress.  I’ve made complex flyers and sent them off as PDFs for printing and heard “I didn’t know Pages could do that!”  Well, it can.  Columns, layers, shadows, with a precise level of control that Word users dream of.  And moving something doesn’t break everything else when you know to turn off automatic wrap (works fine for simple things, but hard things are very achievable and reliable with it off).

### 5/5 — A good program with many benefits.

*2026-08-27, version 15.3*

I have been using pages since 2000. It just keeps getting better and better.

### 5/5 — N

*2026-08-27, version 15.3*

I like the app

### 5/5 — Remarkable

*2026-08-26, version 15.3*

We do all of our letters, Christmas, congratulation, birthday, and whatever information collected that we feel like we should save on this site.  It is so intuitive and easy to set up and use.  Thank you

### 5/5 — YouTube

*2026-08-26, version 15.3*

YouTube is a good 
Example of how
