Customer Reviews

ok if you only work on a MAC
I have to switch between my MAC at home and Win PC at work. Documents and spread sheets formatted in one would not correct format in the other. So I have bought Word for the MAC.

iWork is great if you stick to your MAC, but it does have less funtionality than Word & excel which can now be bought for only about £80, I would consider this first.

Work became cool
I bought this just before Christmas, a) it looked good and b) I didn't want to pay a fortune for MS office for Mac. I have not been disappointed!

Pages- A fantastic word processor with pro looking templates. I use this all the time for school stuff now, it exports easily to MS office without images, can be a bit tricky with but on the whole is fine. For those who enjoy creating newsletters & posters but are sick of slow & boring MS Publisher, Pages will serve up a treat.

Keynote- 'Suddenly everyone looked up'. This is where iWork beats the rival. Keynote gives stunning presentations with a ton of cool extras to give presentations that 'cool' look.

Numbers- I'm still getting used to this one but so far I'm finding it easier to use than Excel and the graphs are far more mature and better looking!

Overall I'm scoring this great piece of software for Mac with a five because even though exports may not be perfect between this and Office, this has much more of a creative and simple edge to it. Gone are the days of feeling bored and intimidated by the crowded interfaces of the Office apps. My recommendation is to properly learn how to use each program before being critical because like anything it takes a while before you do get used to it, but don't sit on the Office bench, get to Work!

worth getting used to
This is a very reasonably priced take on three essential software functions. Apart from the hassle of unlearning new ways, Pages is a joy to use. Similarly, Numbers has been excellent so far. I'm looking forward to my first presentations that aren't just imported PowerPoints.
