Toolbox for Pages: Templates

Update: I downloaded Toolbox a couple of years ago for a specific need, and I've used it for a number of projects since. This latest update is full of great stuff I'm looking forward to using. Toolbox is a bargain, especially if you can snag it at the special price! I needed to create a professional-looking form for an organization I volunteer for, purchased one of these templates, and found it so easy to use I decided to get the whole package. Pages can be a bit tricky to do anything really sophisticated with, but starting with one of these templates makes it a breeze. And there's a whole slew of frames, infographics, and other elements to use in tons of projects, both personal and professional.

I use this application on my desktop daily for my business. This app lets you create professional, corporate-branded documents, flyers, invoices, presentations, marketing materials, signage, brochures, gift cards and a million other things in between. This app makes it feel like you have a full-time graphics designer on staff. The app works beautifully and consistently. Most importantly, the content is updated regularly. I cannot recommend this purchase enough. I have been using Toolbox for Pages for almost three years and this has every single thing I need to run my office. The templates are very easy to edit. The icon elements are also very easy to copy and paste from one document into the document you need it on. I could not recommend a subscription to this app enough. I use it almost daily for a variety of tasks. There are so many professional/corporate templates available for everything from brochures, to presentations, and also an impressive collection of icons/graphic elements to really customize any template for ANY line of business. I even love the invoices, resumes and monthly updates of new templates that can be stored directly on to your computer for future use to ensure a cohesive branded theme. Get it. You won't regret it.

I am a second grade teacher and about 1 month ago I requested research journal templates so that I did not have to create everything from scratch. I got a response to my request the next day with clarifying questions from a designer. I responded to the questions and attached an example research journal I'd made. Today I just found (and quickly bought!) 4 research journal templates! They are EXACTLY what I was looking for! All of the pages are useful. There are templates that would suit a variety of grades, even older students (workbooks). The structure of the research journal labeled 5th grade would better suit K/1 students. The only thing missing is a place on the page to write the daily target with the target symbol we all use, but I'm sure I'm not the only one who has saved a digital target that can be pasted into the document. The lesson planners that are available would be better if a Monday start was offered as a calander option. It looks like it could be edited as it currently is, it's just more time consuming to use if you prefer the Monday start calendar like I do. Overall, this is a FANTASTIC app! So many options to suit a variety of purposes, and the image quality is wonderful. The $1.99 pricepoint for most things is reasonable, too, for what you get. I highly recommend!
