Almost unusable
I started using the predecessor to Pages on the Mac when it was part of AppleWorks, or even before, and it was a pretty good writing tool, and the initial change to Pages was good too. The first versions of Pages for iOS were inferior but usable, but the subsequent so-called "upgrades" have in fact _degraded_ the usefulness of the app. The only actual improvement to usability has been that the atrociously-ugly Helvetica is no longer necessarily the default font. List-making, which was mediocre to begin with, has become increasingly insistent: Just because I number something does NOT mean Im making a list. Now when I try un-list something I mistakenly numbered (well, I wanted the number, just not some moronic list), the app keeps changing the indent. Why? I cant figure it out, but it refuses to let go of the list.
Well, I have a suggestion for a list: Whoever is in charge of design for this app (and many other Apple apps of late) should be on a list — of the unemployed.
