This is a bundle of three programs for Macintosh: Pages (word processing and page design), Numbers (spreadsheet), and Keynote (presentations). None are as powerful as their Microsoft counterparts, but all are easier to use, and they look and feel better on the Mac. I have used Numbers and Keynote with no complaint, but not often. I love Pages, which I use for most of my word processing. It translates back and forth from Word with ease. A great feature is the search function, which lists in a column all the instances of the search term. Clicking on the items in the column moves you through your document. Much, much better than trolling back and forward through the document with "find next". I would give this five stars, except Pages lacks a keyboard shortcut for adding a footnote, which can only be done with the mouse and a pull-down menu.

very happy with this product, not as complex as microsoft office, works very well for my needs, no regrets in buying Iwork

iwork pages fills a need for inexpensive graphics. An absolute fraction of the cost of some of the design programmes such as Quark Express or Photoshop it is a simple method of producing basic graphics. Well worth the money! It takes a modicum of learning time and the results are quite satisfying considering its economic cost.

Having recently upgraded to a Mac Book Pro, I had to get this package. It was Keynote, which is Apple's equivalent to PowerPoint, that really interested me. Is it any good? How does it compare?

I didn't realise how primitive PowerPoint was until I used Keynote for the first time. Its templates, animation, and transitions are simply amazing. The students that I teach photography to immediately noticed the difference, I could tell, as their jaws hit the floor. It adds a whole new dimension of professionalism to your presentations.

Would I recommend it? Is the Pope Catholic!!

Like most of Apple Software first class and easy to work with. Makes Power Point far more flexible and offers better options. A good investment for anyone who creates presentations, information sheets or other similar work documents.

Very effecient, has everything you need for spreadsheets etc, bit different at first if like me you are used to Excel

I've been a Mac user for about six months now and I wish I had made the switch from PCs years ago. It's software like this that makes the Mac what it is. Buy it.

Having used Microsoft Office for many years, I find Iwork different.It is a good product, Apple products always are,but I still prefer Office due to my using that software for so many years. In fact, I have installed Microsoft Office for Imac to have the benefit of both software systems.

From 1984 to 1993 I had an apple 2c and enjoyed it, but I switched to a PC until this year when I purchased an iMac and I love it! iWork has been so much fun to explore, especially keynote.....

Great service and great products. Shipped very quickly and arrived straight away! Will definitely use them again!
