Apple Improves iWork Apps on All Platforms

Apple improves iWorks apps on all platforms by adding new features. Even though the Cupertino-based company didn’t announce anything regarding their Keynote, Numbers, and Pages apps in the last few months, software devs have been hard at work trying to bring them to modern times.

Apple just rolled out a major update for the trifecta of power on all of the company’s platforms – iCloud, OS X and iOS. They have been brought to speed with the latest iOS and OS X, along with some highly anticipated features.

So, for iOS Numbers, Keynote and Pages can now work with Picture in Picture, Slide Over and Split View on the iPad. All of the multitasking features that iOS 9 delivered are now fully integrated with the big A’s apps.

It’s worth noting that VoiceOver received a well deserved polish and it’s vastly improved to better help visually impaired people.

Finally, Apple has removed the beta tag from it’s iCloud.com web apps and it has also added a lot of new features from the company’s other platforms. Users now have the ability to comment on iCloud.com – let’s see how many trolls does Apple manage to gather in 48 hours.

Apple has also added quintessential Google Docs features, and it was about time they did so. Users can see all of their shared docs within the browser on their smartphone.

With these awesome new updates, it has become a serious competitor to Google Drive apps and Office.com web productivity apps.

A really great addition is iWork 2008 and 2006 support for the latest version. It was about time if you ask me. Users have been calling Apple out for being too lazy. Other features consist of improvements for Microsoft Office docs compatibility i.e. no more random errors, and Mac finally gets OneType – amongst other awesome features.

These aren’t eye-candy additions – no new icons, or stunning visuals. These are well deserved under-the-hood polishes that we have been waiting for quite some time now. To be frank, productivity apps like the ones mentioned above don’t really need design overhauls – they just need to function better and more reliable.

Even though news is out that Apple improves iWork apps on all platforms and that the company will continue to roll out more updates in the near future, the Cali-based tech giant is keeping silent.

With these awesome new updates, it has become a serious competitor to Google Drive apps and Office.com web productivity apps.

For a comprehensive log of changes you can check the official patch notes, if you will, on their website.

See Elon Musk, Apple isn’t the Tesla Graveyard as you put it. The company actually cares about its users. It also makes profit – unlike others.

When I was younger I used to spend almost all of my free time playing computer games. My mom and dad would go mental over this. “You’re never going to do anything with your life if you are going to play games all day” they used to say. What was even more unusual was the fact that I played more games than most of the guys in my friend group. Looking back, I have to admit that I probably played a bit too much, but I also learned a lot of great things. When I turned 20 I decided that it was high-time to make some money of my own, but the only jobs I could get were that of waitress or cashier. How exciting. After several excruciating months of serving tables I had a great idea: since I love gaming so much, why don’t I write about it? That’s when I started doing small writing projects on Elance. Eventually, I got an offer for a part-time job. During that time I learned all about content marketing strategies and how search engines work. I started writing about various topics such as technology, health and lifestyle and discovered that I was actually good at it. On November 24, 2014, I became part of the ArgyllFreePress team.
