The MacBook is arguably the perfect portable device for writing longform articles and getting work done on the go. Pages is provided by Apple, and you get all of the features you require in the best alternative to Microsoft Word available today. The thing to remember is that Pages on the iPad is now not very different at all.
A EVERY TEMPLATE
All of the Pages templates you’re used to using are in the iPad version. Indeed, you’ll be hard pressed to find a feature that doesn’t work as well on the iPad version as it does in the macOS version.
B A MULTIMEDIA MARVEL
From simple text–based letters to complex leaflets and presentations, you can do it all in Pages on the iPad, and arguably have greater control over how images are added.
C SMART ANNOTATIONS
If you want to add annotations and drawn additions you can. The Apple Pencil acts as the main differentiator between the Mac and iPad, and your choice could be influenced by your creativity.
D EVERY SINGLE SETTING
Every feature should be present on the iPad, including the useful word count at the bottom of the screen. Tap any paragraph three times and the count automatically adjusts to your selection.
