I am satisfied with Numbers & Pages version 14.5. Will I be missing anything if I refuse to install the new versions besides dealing with Apple begging me to subscribe to unlock all the features?
Got a tip for us?

Holy crow; I'd missed that. (And so did the release notes for the 14.5 versions, apparently.)
Yes. You'd be missing out on new bugs and features. Mainly bugs for now.

New Pages and Numbers have advertisements on screen now! Just like Windows!
I'll stick with the old versions on MacOS. They were updated to the new versions automatically on my iPhone.

It does sound nuts 😁
Go to the App Store under your purchased apps and re-download them. Version 14.5.

Version 15 is consistently crashing on my Mac Studio (26.3) when using the filter/sort. the crash is corrupting the document (deleting various rows in the sheet) This is not only scary—having to needle thru the doc to check if data is missing after every crash—but ridiculous what is happening on the software end at ?!?!? first the macOS26 fiasco, now this with Numbers.
I need to go back to the previous version 14 of Number, anyone know how? (just realized the old version is still in the App Folder)
Can the New V15 be deleted right from the App Folder—just delete the App? (ie no need to pull pref files from Library sub folders?)

now after restarting the Mac, the app wont save! doc reads 'edited' at top but will not save and update.
App wont quit as save function is crashing?? only way out is to 'Force Quit' the app—all new data is lost.
There is something terribly wrong with Numbers Version 15! Both Numbers 0versions 14.5 and 15 are crashing after filtering and selecting a cell. this happens in BOTH Normal Mode and SAFE mode.
Apple is just going to alienate their loyal 'customer base' if they keep up with all the 'subscription' and hurdle BS for usage. I'll be going back to LibreOffice.

I guess this is a serious bug... This is the 1st time Ive ever been contacted by an team (iWork) after sending 'crash reports'.
unhappy by the bug, but pleasantly surprised is dealing with this 👍
