Yup, just checked. Like I said, I rarely, if ever, use it, but good to know it's at least available.
Got a tip for us?

Yep I found that. Thank you. Crazy why didn't show up in the Updates section of the App Store.
LOL. Not sure how that makes any amount sense. It's free....but it still ain't Office....which is NOT free. 😊
The iWork suite is the best evidence against the demise of great software on the Mac. It's just that good.
A Mac with iWork is enough for ditch a PC.
YES! I use it all the time. Beats Powerpoint ten times!
Any specific reason why you need the latest and greatest version of these programs?

its not as sexy as pivotable, but you can manually use sumifs and get the same result
And expecting it to work great on 10+ years old hardware too
Just remember that if you open an existing file and save it with any of these apps— that file will then no longer be able to be opened on the earlier version of the software.
have you seen the installed numbers when you say "an OS that few people really want", I guess most people who own Mac are a few people to you. and most Mac hardware runs the newer OS's just some old 32 bit machines have been passed by by time
The more OS’s they have to support, the greater the cost. So, I’d imagine that they’re limiting how much they’re having to pay to support these free applications.
That makes one person lol
I think Keynote is probably the only iWork all that can argument can be made for. Pages and Numbers are just painful to use compared to their MS Office counterparts.
hubris for numbers need to be put to bed.
Apple needs to just 1:1 copy excel, it’s keyboard shortcuts, and total functionality (of the windows version)

doesn't it have more to do with 32 bit apps and OS's not supported anymore? yah, I bet that is it: "Apple has been working with developers to transition their apps, and in 2018 Apple informed them that macOS Mojave would be the last version of macOS to run 32-bit apps. Starting with macOS Catalina, 32-bit apps are no longer compatible with macOS."
WAYYYY Better than PPTX. I use every day for my business.
oh snap! Truth is Numbers is far superior to that old abomination Excel in many respects. No crappy ribbon bar, instead a nice clean modern UI. Multiple tables per sheet instead of one hokin sheet to cram tables into all with the same row heights and column widths, even when they are not. Beautiful and elegant cell referencing based on named tables, columns and rows. I switched over when I got my first Mac in 2012, never looking back (A big reason, I don't have to pay for it, I'll admit that), but the better design in general won me over.
I transferred my income tax programs, and my retirement income planner (better than my broker's) over and I'm much happier with how Numbers functions vs. Excel.
Hey, I'll admit if you are vested in Excel, use it, if you use any (but should you?) of the functions that Excel has, then use it. If you use pivottables and don't know enough to use a database instead, use it.
But don't dump a crap load of hurt on a program you have probably very little experience with when your basis for judgment is solely familiarity.
If you still can't see the updates try pressing CMD+R to refresh the update window
This is common behaviour for the App Store, which takes its time in reporting new app versions.
The next time there's an update of Logic Pro X reported on this site, I can guarantee that it won't show as an available update in the App Store.
But... within the App Store, if you search for the app by name, then click on its icon in the results, you will see immediately if an update is available, and you can click the update as you like.
The cynical part of me says that the notification mechanism is deliberately slow to stop world+dog updating at the same time. That gives Apple time to pull the plug if things go badly wrong.
I've been a steady user of Keynote since its inception... I've got Powerpoint, but I find it to be too clumsy to work with. What I can create in Keynote would take me twice the time in Powerpoint... And I've tried...
YMMV

Yep that is exactly how I got the update. I never understand how MR gets news so fast before many people can get the update. 😁
