Amazing app

This is an amazing app, it’s perfect for tracking words. It’s really simple and easy to use. It shows the percentage of how much you are from your total goal, and you can set a deadline if you want. There is also a visual graph of your progress! For people that are trying to write a book, story, or essay I highly recommend it. Personally I think it’s the best app to track your word count. There is no extra fluff and lots of settings to deal with. Also, you can work on multiple projects at once!

Soooo good!

I’m thrilled with this app, I find it is exactly what I was looking for, easy to use - the only thing I wish was different was the ability to have a light background - as I prefer that to dark. Other than that! Exactly what I was looking for! Love it calculates daily word count and goals so easily for me, and lets me know when I am ahead or need to catch up

EDIT TO ADD: since the update, couple of days ago, the date on the graph seems to be stuck on the current date. You can no longer press anywhere on the progress chart graph, and see date you started, or any other dates except today’s for the whole thing. That’s a bit annoying - but still chuffed, easy to use!

Good word tracker

I started word tracking because of NaNoWriMo and this helps me work at my pace. Highly recommend

My review

Love it!
Great app.
Very useful as an author.
I like that you can set up multiple projects at the same time.
Definitely recommend.

Brilliant, easy to use, and aesthetically pleasing

This is a great word tracker which looks beautiful and does everything I could need it to. The graphs used to show your progress towards your goal are incredibly motivating, and the format of inputting your overall word total each day is so much easier to use than other counters which ask you to input the amount of words written that day specifically. Really pretty, effective, and fun to use :)
