So far I'm happy with iWork that I purchased for my iPAD biggrin.gif

If you used a lot, worth to purchase.

how is iWork on complex words document?

I use lot of templates that has lot of embedded objects. simple ones like page numbering and file names to complex ones like table of contents (automatically generated), title header numbering (with multiple levels),table fo figures, and embedded excel and powerpoint objects.

can iWork handle those u think?

Personally i recommend iWork. It's like ios version of microsoft office, althought it's a little bit costly but still worth for the money.

CloudOn lag like hell.. personally had bought Office2HD, QuickOffice, Smart Office 2, and Polaris Office..

Polaris Office is the best among all of these..

Never tried iWork.. But had tested in Switch, not so know to use it..

Polaris Office can actual show the same view as in Microsoft Office in window..

$12.99 = RM40+.. worth la..

Never used iWork before so sorry I can't post any review about it. But I had experienced many office apps before. From 1st one, office2 hd ($7.99), smart office 2( get free), documents to go ($14.99) and lastly polaris office ($12.99).

I need office apps coz use it oftenly in university, do work, read notes, presentation... But mostly major typing still at laptop there.. But when going to campus, I'm like to carry ipad only coz light. And I can read PowerPoint.

Office2 HD, simple UI and fast.. But can't actually show the same content what in window laptop. Smart office 2, difficult UI, ads pop up always, but show better than office2 hd, but the graph, shape in word,PowerPoint, will gone and jumping there and here. Failed.

Documents to go premium, bought it coz it famous. But the apps is not worth as thevalue. Same problem here, can't show the actual thing like window.

Polaris office.. Bought it recently, it's archive what I need. The format, graph, picture, shape, all the things, same as what can I view in window laptop.. Some more it got 1 function can do annotation on PowerPoint slides when u are in full screen mode. I can highlight all the important things while in class. Best and recommended. Simple UI.

iWork, never tried, coz I worry not compatible with window format..
