Apple today updated several of its Mac and iOS apps, making them available for all Mac and iOS users for free. IMovie, Numbers, Keynote, Pages, and GarageBand for both Mac and iOS devices have been updated and are now listed in the App Store for free. Previously, all of these apps were provided for free to customers who purchased a new Mac or iOS device, but now that purchase is not required to get the software. Many Apple customers were already likely eligible to download the software at no cost if they had made a device purchase in the last few years. Apple's iWork page and continues to say that customers will only be able to download Pages, Keynote, and Numbers after purchasing an eligible Mac or iOS device, but new wording may be added shortly following the price drop. Apple's apps have also been removed from the Top Free app charts in the App Store. Apple has been offering these apps for free to new Mac and iOS device owners since 2013, but dropping the price to free for all users makes it less confusing and opens up downloads for those who have not recently made a new device purchase.

I tried using Pages and Numbers, but they were not very intuitive so I went back to Microsoft Office. Since Apple has a reputation of not continually improving its apps, I suspect they're still inferior products. 'intuitive' is relative. Relative to what you are comfortable with and familiar with.
The document creation workflow in iWork is quite a bit different than for MS Office. Back-in-the-day, I used ClarisWorks (the great-grandfather of iWork) for Windows instead of MS Office even though I have extensive experience with MS Office. The workflow was just so much more streamlined. That tradition was carried on from ClarisWorks to AppleWorks to iWork '09 to iWork (Dumb Dora Edition).
This is not true for all document creation scenarios but, for me using the iWork mindset to create docs in iWork is superior to using the MS Office mindset to create docs in MS Office. But there are still documents that are easier to create using MS Office and in those scenarios, I use MS Office. It is a bit sad to see many quick to dismiss iWork as being nothing more advanced than Google Docs or the web version of MS Office. It is far more than those. Even in the latest dumbed-down incarnation.
Hello there, Im having some dramas trying to insert a figure and caption into a word document. Both my wife and I have had a go, but no luck. We have followed instructions but it does not find the figure at all. I can insert a citation from the selected reference but it will not find the figure in in the search dialog. It is almost as though word is not connected to my library correctly. I am searching through endnote within word though.
I only recently installed endnote onto my mac air so am very new to this endnote gig. Cheers, Matt.
