What do you dislike about Keynote?

"Review of Keynote. With each slide I can better organize and communicate my ideas."
What do you like best about Keynote?

Keynote has many pre–designed and adaptable styles that give me the freedom to customize each element according to the occasion. Navigating through its interface is fluid even in moments of complex edits; it has transition effects and animations that are easy to apply and I use them to enrich my internal presentations and make them much more dynamic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Keynote?

More than not finding negative aspects I'm surprised that Keynote maintains consistency in its design and usability over time, it continues to have stable performance even in heavy documents which reinforces my confidence in continuing to use it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Keynote a slide show you can believe"
What do you like best about Keynote?

I like slide shows because it's designed for creating visually appealing presentations, similar to Microsoft PowerPoint, by adding text, images, charts, and animations to slides. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Keynote?

It does not work well with Android and Microsoft. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Basic and free presentation tool for Mac users"
What do you like best about Keynote?

I am not a big fan, but the small things I do like are 1) the long list of possible animations (that used to be unique but is currently getting more trivial); 2) the ability to open the proprietary Keynote files that you might still have lying around somewhere; 3) the pricing (free for MacOS users); and 4) the fact that it can automatically animate existing presentations and create movie clips. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Keynote?

Oh yes, Keynote used to be something special, back when it was Keynote vs PowerPoint. But as time went by more and more presentation tools emerged, and PowerPoint got better and better, and Keynote was left behind. The main dislikes are the lack of a web-based version, the boring and unappealing UI, the lack of connectivity outside the Apple ecosystem, and the lack of interesting tools and images. Compared to other presentation systems like Canva, Miro, and even PowerPoint, I find Keynote to be lacking in both strength and valor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good, But It Isn’t Great"
What do you like best about Keynote?

It was already installed on my MacBook so I gave it a whirl. I like how simple it is. I've worked with other presentation software and a lot of them are just too overwhelming. This is pretty easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Keynote?

When exporting for other programs, it doesn't always play nice. Fonts missing, formatting a mess, and some functions/transitions that are in Keynote don't mirror ones in other programs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to make slides with a nice look"
What do you like best about Keynote?

Keynote is the perfect PowerPoint alternative; you can quickly make professional-looking slides, and it has features you can control from your Apple Watch when you're presenting Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Keynote?

Some of the functions that Keynote has can be very limited; one of them is the animations, the variety is little, and you have to repeat some; the same happens with the templates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Apple Keynote Is Great!!"
What do you like best about Keynote?

I can use across all mty devices, it works on the iPhone, iPad, and the MacBook Pro I have. It makes working on any presentation quite convenient. Extremely easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Keynote?

Honestly, I do not dislike anything, it works, it's easy, and I have access to everything, there is nothing to dislike about it. It is even free to use no subscription needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Can't believe more people don't use Keynote"
What do you like best about Keynote?

I jumped into Keynote a few years ago and never looked back. I predominantly use its flawless ability to build animated sequences – from simple mini-presentations to fairly complex productions. It offers the ability to paste other Mac app images which is a real time saver. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Keynote?

That it's Mac only and 99% of my clients are PC/Windows based and limited to Powerpoint. I've even showed clients how good it is and frustrated we can't readily share files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great for individual design but lacks strong collaboration features"
What do you like best about Keynote?

The ability to create beautiful and complete designs. Super professional-looking decks for presentations and proposals etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Keynote?

Keynote lacks the seamless collaboration features that other presentation software has like Canva. It's often very clunky to give others access to the decks and relies on paid iCloud storage if you want to save multiple files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
