Numbers

This is little hard to learn how to use, but it makes up for that in being the most user-friendly Excel-like program I’ve ever used. It’s fairly easy once you get used to it. The keyboard opened just fine, it never crashed, I had some trouble trying to figure out how to make a pie chart on my own, but then I checked out the help section. It was quite easy then. There are no bugs that I can find. Quite pleased with this download.

There's definitely a form over function thing going on here. Entering anything feels like being forced to slow down. Having to manually change the number of columns is just so weird. Fun bug: Entering a number in a cell with a formula and then trying to undo will first undo the last thing you did before entering the number. Even if you do remember to click the cell you entered text in first. Because if you don't that cell will never get undone. Fun, right?

Perfect for making money spreadsheets

Using this app to set up a budget so far and love it. One question for the developers if they happen to read these, is there a way to "highlight" a single cell green or red to further easily track excesses and negative balances?

Wow! I’ve been using numbers since the original iWork suite was released on OSX. I’ve liked everything about it, and glad Apple has not abandoned it like they did Aperture. Nonetheless, I’ve maintained an MS Office subscription just to keep Excel. How is it that Apple still hasn’t added the basic functionality of protecting specific cells and or ranges of cells? You can only lock an entire table, or cover a range with an overlaid locked transparent rectangular graphical object. I kn so Numbers has had a paradigm shift from day one, which was ingenious, but it does have to live in a world where people also use Excel. ONTO A NEW ISSUE, why doesn’t the new document browser let you brows in column view???

I like edit pictures

For most every day tasks, I find Numbers far superior and more enjoyable to work with vs. Excel or Google Sheets… for one simple reason: The core of how Numbers works allows multiple independent tables to be on each sheet. This allows other objects (shapes, text, etc. to be on the page simultaneously, like a page layout program). But the true power shines from simply having independent tables that can be side-by-side referencing each other. In many ways, it can serve as a complement to Google Sheets and Excel because most formulas work cross-platform, so you can copy and paste tables between the different applications. Brilliant, Apple!

Never really use app but good decent app.

I give up, it does not work properly anymore, impossible to make new charts with axis properly labeled and recognize dates. It comes up either data points that don’t even exist anywhere in the table!! Completely unusable in its current form and fails to generate line graphs, I tried for an hour on an existing spreadsheet that used to work fine.

The homepage banner introduced in 14.2 that takes up half the screen makes this app worse to use on a daily basis. It’s not too late to reverse this horrible lapse in judgement.
