iOS and iPadOS

Hi all. I'm doing a little research for someone I'm teaching. We'd like to know which app, Pages or Word is generally most user-friendly with VoiceOver in the creation of research papers. This person is using an iPad exclusively with VoiceOver and a Magic keyboard. Basic editing of text is not an issue. We're wondering about creating an APA-style paper with citations, references, etc. and how those functions behave in each of these two programs. Does anyone have any experience, and if so, how did you find ease of use with these two programs in a more academic environment? Thanks for any insight.

This is based on my past experience using iPad as my daily driver. I do not recommend it, use a Mac or Windows PC instead. VoiceOver is very tiresome when navigating through paragraphs. Academic multitasking is just not effective.
