## Reviews

### "Must have for user of any platform\!" — 5.0/5

> **Binny** | *April 8, 2022* | Civil Engineering | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: What I literally love about this software is it's capability to onboard new users without a need of any walk-through, it is as simple as using a excel sheet. But compared to excel sheets, numbers got more reliable powers within. I used Numbers first time when I wanted to make entries of students, registering with demographic details and other noisy data. I love the way it automatically picked up the format of a column and suggested me the auto complete, I was typing time (in x Hours y Mins format), Numbers understood that and just asked me enter values and not units. For calculating BMI (Body Mass Index) also, it converted the whole column from centimetre to metre seamlessly. If I count the ways I love this product, this text-box will seem to be less. With a trusted brand comes the security too.
> 
> **Cons**: No such cons were discovered by me so far, I have completely loved this product from starting. It is a must have for any iPad user specially, it becomes so handy to handle the edits. But I still see that it lacks in some basic exporting features. Export and Share with live edit logs are heart of any version management sheets. But overall no dislikes about the quality.
> 
> My overall experience with Apple Numbers is awesome. I will suggest this product to everyone. Like I have a iPad being used by whole family. Still I can control the sheet level privacy from this application. This locking feature was not seen by me anywhere. It helped me keeping data of company safe from personal stuff. That is why I mentioned, it is a must have app in you device.

### "A solid spreadsheet tool with missing features" — 4.0/5

> **Felix** | *September 16, 2019* | Accounting Software | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: This was my introduction to spreadsheets, instead of Excel, as it was built into the Mac ecosystem. As a first-time spreadsheet user, many many years ago, it was easy to use, intuitive and made sense. As opposed to Excel, which has a "canvas" that is 100% spreadsheet (the canvas is all cells and your data can go anywhere), Numbers operates on a "table" basis, with an infinite canvas. It allows you to place neat tables wherever you need, so you can lay two data-sets side by side. &#10;&#10;Numbers formulas are also quite intuitive, giving you handy tooltips and overlays about what each of the formulas means as you go through them. It handled complex boolean logic, advanced arithmetic, and conditional statements without a problem. However, some of the formulas were a little bit limited​ and were absolutely not fully featured compared to Excel.&#10;&#10;Integration within the Apple ecosystem was wonderful. Documents synced instantly to all my devices relying on iCloud, and changes were pushed quickly. The collaboration​ was great, although not necessarily fully developed.​
> 
> **Cons**: The main con of this software is that it's not Excel. It sounds stupid, but in using both Numbers and Excel for separate purposes, the differences are clear. Having to transition around and around from the industry-standard​ Excel to Numbers, which operates just on a slightly different basis can be jarring. Numbers, at the time of writing, was also missing some handy features, such as solving, data analysis, and additional plugins. The exporting into Excel, for those people that don't use Mac, could result in some data being jumbled if using complicated Numbers-specific formulas or formats. The same is true for the other way, as most people won't send you a Numbers document, but an Excel document.
> 
> It was a solid and reliable piece of software, and you can't beat the low price of Free. Using it involved some gymnastics from time to time, dealing with the fact that Excel is still the dominant software in this space. I would recommend this, if you are simply looking to do some spreadsheets for yourself at home, and don't anticipate to need any crazy or specific features, and also don't plan on collaborating with a team of people who primarily use Excel.

### "Not as universal or robust as other spreadsheet programs" — 3.0/5

> **Joel** | *July 10, 2024* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 1.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I like that it is included with any apple computer.  This gives a quick alternative to Microsoft products.
> 
> **Cons**: If you are used to the way Excel and Google Sheets work, Numbers is a different structure all together.

### "I Love Numbers\!" — 5.0/5

> **Rabbi Selilah** | *April 16, 2020* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Numbers is easy to use even for non accountants.  I haven't been trained in spread sheet functions etc, but Number's functions seem to anticipate anything I might want to do and to make it work in a way that I can figure it out intuitively.
> 
> **Cons**: Oddly enough I would like to see more color options in the "fill section".  I have figured out that I can design in graph form for projects using Numbers very nicely, except that unlike all of my other graphic and polishing software, Numbers' colors are not able to "match".
> 
> Two years ago I opened a new Non-Profit School.  Unlike all all of the other schools I had run, my board left the budgeting and financial tracking entirely in my hands.  Up until now I had always been handed an excel document with dozens of sheets detailing the budget that I was supposed to run.  Faced with having to create my own I sat down to my Mac knowing what it should look like, but not how to get there.  &#10;In Excel I was frustrated with trying laboriously to figure out what each formula needed to be to get the result that I needed.  I spent hours trying to arrange the numbers in a trackable fashion.&#10;Then I tried Numbers.  Numbers had always been sitting there, right at the bottom of my MAC screen.  It had never occurred to me to explore.  Once I did I was thrilled.  It is easy to use.  Often seems to not only know what functions I will need, but be so intuitively driven that I find them without intending to look.  I now use it for all of our information keeping and tracking; financial, enrollment, charts, calendars, menus and so much more.  &#10;I actually get annoyed when someone sends me an excel doc and am in the habit of opening it in Numbers immediately.

### "Great for beginners" — 4.0/5

> **heather** | *December 3, 2024* | Consumer Services | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Very easy to use and makes it simple because it's on apple devices
> 
> **Cons**: I am not very good with things like this in general but no major complaints.
> 
> Easy to use and something I can easily incorporate for my business
