Pages for iOS

Result for Apple iPad IOS device since its launch in April 2010. It was Apple's standard text editor Microsoft Word and competition over the years Mac platform.

It's just a transition to the iPhone and iPod touch made, and these devices, shows the distribution in general.

Features

Changes in the IOS is 88 megabytes of installation, we quickly discovered when we install the application before removing the stains on our test of 16 gigabyte iPhone 4 after installation, you will be asked to read some pages to get enough of "control system iPhone.

The learning curve is very steep, and because of the limited number of functions built into the program: Is there a simple text editor, change styles, create lists, insert images and erection size and layout but it is just the manufacturing sector too in addition to the IOS.

The result of the Israeli army feels like a serious text editor, which is something contrary to the spirit of the iPhone or iPod touch. We used to use the Notes application for writing thoughts and hands are also responsible for this is my free text and image that can be used for multiple documents, if any. On a side note, I wrote this comment with pages of disclosure and not too much trouble. It just feels weird to write word document over 700 on a mobile phone, to be honest.

We imported a dozen documents and formats, including pages '09 (. Pages), Word 2007 (. Docx), Word 1997 to 1903 text files (. DOC) and (. TXT), and most of them worked.  (.Doc) (.Docx) files will not open. Their large integrated image is probably causing problems. If you import text or small images in the document, you will not have problems with pages on the iPhone.

We used a page from Apple's app wireless keyboard, illogical, you know that the keyboard is about five times larger than the iPhone, and it has always been to follow our typing speed hectic support and copy paste shortcuts. No slowing down for a picture in the text, which is impressive for such a device with low power consumption, has also been added.

Apple Air Print is supported, but only one of ten HP wireless printers can print. Fortunately, we had 100 HP Envy is expected that with one hand and documents that are imported or created in the application when we arrived. The colors of texts and photos without the fine print formatting errors. If you want to print, you can export documents in PDF, Microsoft Word file or a plain old page.

Errors

We have some problems, and landscape mode at all, to photograph only two inches across the keyboard. We can use the iPhone since it came out, and when we are reasonably competent, there is no doubt that the larger (landscape), the keyboard is not the best of them, so their exclusion is disappointing.

Similarly, the default text zoom level decrease of 30 percent of the Web site as you type. If you choose to look like the kind of person, as their last album, what to write next, a page on the iPhone sometimes unnecessarily frustrating.

A page on the iPhone (and iPad, iPod Touch, etc., all this is now a Universal application) supports the export of false clouds iWork.com Apple service. It is far from the functionality of competing programs such as Evernote, Dropbox, or even one of many offered by Google Docs, though. Once the document is divided into iWork.com, all you have to do what I see on the web browser or download it again for another application, or (mobile or fixed) for processing.

No adjustment of life, strict limits as a site of easy cross-platform use. Maybe in a future version, see live editing between computers, or IOS iWork.com site.

Buying advice of Macworld Australia

Results on the iPhone and iPod touch feels strong, the editing. It features polished document sharing is not as good as rivals such as Dropbox and Evernote, but if you are committed to the Mac / IPAD / iPhone or architecture, the operating system. Publish on different platforms can be a bit complicated, but it is a good choice for Mac users.
