Maybe it’s just me, but any time I open up Toolbox for iWork it takes forever to load and slows down my comptuer to a cralw, usually setting CPU usuage up toe 80% or more. When I’m going to use it I literally have to shut down anything else non-essential, leave it all alone for a few minutes (perfect time to walk away and make some coffee) and when I come back it’s usually loaded and more usable. It still locks up here and there while using it but after the initial load time it’s workable. The content is really great, but like some people have said in other reviews, some of the templates just aren’t intuitive and get overly complicated. It you take the time to mess around with a layout before trying to actually create your item, you should be fine. I mainly use this for the book templates for creating ebooks and documents for clients. While they are relatively easy to use one thing I find really frutrating is the lack of pre-made page layouts in many of them. Most have 4 or 5 pages and that’s it, and they aren’t easy to replicate (not like iBooks Author where you can select the template of a page and add it wherever you need it in a document. And above all I really just want to see regular additions of new templates. It does get a little boring using the same things over and over.
We have mad lots of improvements to the way the app manages resources so it should be much snappier by now! If not, please let us know via support@jumsoft.com!We do our best to deliver various templates from basic to the very complex ones, and usually the end results that the users can achieve depend on their familiarity with the software they're using (Pages, Numbers, or Keynote). In Pages, duplicating any page of the document is as easy as clicking View > Show Page Thumbnails, then right-clicking the desired thumbnail and selecting Duplicate.
