Pages

I decided to give the Pages app a try. I had never used it before, but found that it has some similarities to Microsoft Word. They are both used for creating documents, whether they be letters, resumes, and so on. Both have multiple options when it comes to the layout, such as different types of fonts, different font styles, and inserting tables. They also both can be easily used to put together a document because I think they are both easy to get used to working with. Word and Pages are also pretty different from one another. If I were typing a large paper, I would rather use Microsoft Word because I believe using a computer for that task would be easier for me. I like having a larger screen and keyboard when creating papers or large documents. Pages also does not have as many editing options as Word, which is probably because it is made specifically for an iPad, rather than a computer. But since Pages is on an iPad, it is easier to use on the go and I think would be easier to use to make a quick document. Even though I would not want to use an iPad to type a paper, I think they have a positive impact when it comes to making quick documents or making them on the go. An iPad is small and sometimes the touch screen makes it easier to use than a computer. It also seems easier to insert and edit photos in Pages, partly because the touch screen makes them easy to edit on an iPad.
