I use KN a lot, better than PP. Newer versions have new features, but why are some older features no longer available ("Carousel" animation). Also, why is there no meaningful integration with Pages or Numbers? Clearly should be.

Discovered an alarming bug (or is it a 'feature'?) in the latest version of Keynote. Presentations created in V8.2 on High Sierra will still open in Keynote 6.6 on El Cap, but when resaved in 6.6 on El Cap they cannot then be opened again. Same happens to Pages files. Is this a bug or a deliberate move from Apple because El Cap is no longer supported? Beware or you will lose files and data this way.

Dumbed-down, stripped down version of earlier Keynote version. Still using Keynote 5.3 from iWork 09 bundle. "Streamlined" app means loss of features, and a more challenging GUI and UX when using the latest versions of Pages/Keynote/Numbers. I am assuming loss of features etc is to ensure compatability with iPad versions of the same apps. A pity - Apple dumbed down the OSX versions rather than beefing up the iOS versions. Sticking with iWork 09 apps for as long as OSX allows! 5 stars for '09 apps, 1 star for current.

Apple Keynote 8.0 update at last fixes the stability problem that some users had to revert back from version 7.3 to 7.2 because of continuous crashes with large Keynote files with version 7.3.

I am operating on Yosemite and I cannot upgrade for many reasons and I have done a Keynote presentation in version 6.2.2 and wonder if that will work open on a computer that has 7.2 without any glitches.

Post version 4.x iterations appear to be geared to consumers needing only basic presentation functionality. The interface and tools are scaled back to match the paltry iOS versions. The removal of master slide support was a deal killer for me. I'm still happily using v4 though since it still supports master slides.

Keynote is okay for beginners who only need to have a few basic slides for a visual presentation. The effects are good and can make you look good. However, if you want to add audio or make a video with audio, don't waste your time learning how to use it. I thought I would be able to play a slide show while recording in GarageBand and then add the audio to the presentation. I was wrong. If you try to play Keynote presentations it has to be in full screen. So, you can't watch and record in GarageBand. All you can see is full screen Keynote. You can't play a Keynote presentation in the window. Trying to record in GarageBand at the same time is impossible. So, I thought, buy another monitor and have GarageBand on one monitor and Keynote on the other. No, Keynote wants to use both monitors. The only way I can work is to export to Powerpoint to view in the window. But, all the effects change and the timeing. Or, export a movie and edit in FinalCut, which is another project to do. This is all because Keynote will only play at full screen. It is a brick wall in productivity terms. I researched and found that people have been complaining about this for years, but there has been no attempt to make this small feature available. Now, I wish I had not wasted my time learning this half done Keyword, and had spent my time learning Powerpoint. Keynote may be more glitzy in effects but Powerpoint FAR more flexible and compatible with available facilities in most places . I have been using Macs for more than 20 years and I am saddened to see the demise in usability and function of Apple products. I guess Apple just think that all the people who remember the Steve Jobs's ethic of function and form will be dead soon. Then, they will be free to make tons of money from all the new kids on the block, who never really knew how Steve really cared about what Apple really was. My respect for Microsoft products is growing ... Never thought I would hear myself say that but...

Keynote is absolutely fantastic. Using this app, I can create literally any presentation I want. The whole iWork suite is awesome as well. The app crashed several times on my Mac, but a restart fixed this issue. Now everything works fine that's why I'd like to thank everyone who is somehow engaged in the creation of Keynote. Can't wait for the next update.

What a disappointment! This new interface is horrible and the new way of creating table is awkward at best. I miss the floating palettes, and the interface that required half the clicks we need to produce now to get anywhere. This iteration has helped me to jump to Deckset and a true innovative way of creating presentations.

I want to upgrade Keynote 4.0 to 6.5 but have been told I won't be able to transfer my 4.0 presentations into the new version. Also, a friend has the latest version, 6.5, and can't open my keynote files in 4.0 when I send them. The prompt says the file is, "too old." I don't mind buying the new version for $19.99 but I'm afraid it will mess up all of my old keynote files. Does anyone know about this problem and how to resolve it?

Still won't open Keynote 2008 files. Ironically the work-around is to export them as PowerPoint files and then import them with the latest version of Keynote. Lame, Apple.
