Pages


App: Pages


Price: 9.99


Pages

Pages is the apple equivalent of Microsoft Word.  The app allows you to start with blank document or choose from one of 16 templates incliudingm business letters to invitations and thank you cards. The app boasts easily edited documents and formatting made simple while being able to type on the go with the iPad.  Pages allows you to share via email in numerous forms. 

Pros: Pages is compatible with Microsoft word and can email documents in Pages, PDF, or a Word document.  Pages also includes many similar aspects found in word and contains user-friendly editing at the tip of your finger. Formatting is made easy especially with adding pictures and charts.

Cons: Obviously it is an expensive app and that is enough to deter most people.  I have found problems with trying to add bullet points within a sequence of 1.2.3. and returning back to the number format. While Pages is compatible with Word, it occasionally will use a different font more specific with the apple brand.


I would definitely recommend this app to anyone looking to be able to type papers on the go.  I find myself starting new papers whenever i have free time because of the convenience. I think students could use this app to create artistic documents because of the easy editing and formatting with pictures.

  1. I could see this as being a very useful app, but yes, the price is something to consider.  I could see myself using this app, since it seems to have many useful functions and I could generate papers more easily while on the go.  I may invest in this app at some point.
