Apple has taken great strides of late to show that its iPad and iPhone devices are more than consumption devices. To aid in this effort, the company has released a massive update to iWork for iOS. Free for new iOS device owners, iWork brings a refreshed user experience to Pages, Numbers and Keynote in line with iOS 7. With the new apps, Apple wants to prove that even if you only have these devices at your disposal, you’ll still be able to create great-looking documents, spreadsheets and presentations. How well does the new iWork suite — free for new iOS users — live up to that claim?Pages
The latest version of Pages, Apple’s answer to Microsoft Word, has been treated to a UI redesign, bringing the app’s look in line with iOS 7.
All of the templates from the OS X version of Pages are available on iOS, giving you access to more than 60 ready-made documents to let you hit the ground running. Once you launch a document, you’ll see a new toolbar up top that puts all the tools you’ll need to fully customize your document, reducing the amount of time it takes you to create content. The toolbar lets you navigate back to your iCloud documents, undo any changes made, perform advanced text formatting, add media content and charts, change settings and share your document with others.
