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 :)

Wonderful
It makes me want to write, I love watching the numbers go up. Very easy to figure out, a must have for authors.
Please Make For Non-Apple Users
I’m an author and have shared this app a few times. Every time I’ve posted it, I’ve been asked if it’s exclusively for Apple. If it’s only an Apple app, please make it available to others - you’re the best word count tracker ever! Love the format. Love that you don’t when to sync anything. I can add however many projects I want and meet goals for my first draft. I am so much more productive when I use this app - highly recommend for aspiring writers hoping to be more consistent

Great, could use some more features.
I really enjoy this app. It’s very simple, it adjusts word goals if you miss days, etc. The main things I wish would be added: back-dating word updates (I write at night a lot, and I’d like my words to count for Thursday, even if it didn’t technically get submitted until after midnight), and a calendar to show what days you did and didn’t write, and how much per day.

Great for assignments
Honestly it’s what has gotten me through uni do wish on days it suggests 0 words it would do the blue circle as it is technically complete
Really great, just wish it was more flexible
Sometimes I forget to log my words for a day, as there’s no way, at least that I can find, to update your word count for previous days. It would also be nice to have the option of tracking other things, like time. But I love the app. It’s easy to use and I really like that the daily goal updates based on how much you’ve done

Visual Progress Does Wonders, Room for Improvement
Tracking my progress with simple graphs and percentages has done wonders for my productivity.
It just takes the word count goal you set and divides that by the number of days until your set deadline. Easy.
The main issues I’ve run into are the following:
1) The app doesn’t allow you to mark off days you don’t intend to write (weekends, holidays, etc.), which throws off the count for each daily goal.
2) The calendar is flat wrong. Today’s date is 2024/11/28 which is a THURSDAY, but in the app it shows as a Friday. All the days are off by one and I’m not sure how that happened.
I still recommend this app if you’re a visual creature like me and seeing trackable progress on a graph helps. For a free app I can look past the flaws.

What it says on the tin
Great to find a word tracking app that doesn’t have any hidden subscription fees. A bit clunky in some places, but gives clear statistics and has a simple and effective menu. I’d like if there was a way to add a single day’s word count but you can only change the total word count. Simple yet gets the job done

Phenomenal
Listen, I’ve been using this app for four days. Already, my productivity has boosted, and it’s all because of the little serotonin rushes I get from seeing the tracker fill in. I was looking for something that could specifically replicate the progress tracker on the Nanowrimo website, but y’know, year round. This is exactly what I have been looking for. The interface is simple, easy to use, with no useless bells and whistles. You set your goal, you get your daily percentage, and you get your long term progress graph. It’s exactly what I have been looking for. Point, blank, period.

I wanted a word counter this isn’t it
I typed in word counter into Apple and this came recommended sadly it has no word counter function.
Probably won’t meet my needs
I only JUST downloaded this app, but I can already tell it probably won’t meet my needs bc of what it requires you to input when setting up a new project. I don’t have a daily or long-term word count goal. I simply want to track how many words I write each day in my day-to-day work so I have the metric. I put in 1 million words with a deadline in 2030 just so I could enter SOMETHING, but then it shows me my daily goal (a measly 300 words when I probably write 1000-2000/day), which is actually DEmotivating. I don’t want to have to do math just to guesstimate what I have to put in, and there’s no way to hide the daily goal that’s calculated. I want an option where I’m simply tracking total word count without a specific goal or end date in mind.

Fantastic my simple
Such an easy tool to use with quick statistics to view.
Super app
Love this, I wish I could add days in the past simply because I’ve already started my current project and wanted to track it from the beginning
Missing one thing
I have been using this for years but wish it had ONE crucial feature. I wish we could type in “new words today” and have it added to the total, rather than having to type in the over all total. Like how NaNoWriMo does it. Then it would be The Perfect App.
Doesn’t work (nothing works for “base”)
Asks for number of words in project, then asks for “words to exclude” and presumably this is a number of words? I tried numbers, and the “Done” button was still greyed out. Tried letters: greyed out. I couldn’t even get past the start-up screen. The web page doesn’t help, says, “ Set the target and a base (if you want to ignore any words from your document such as headers or notes).” But what’s a base? Is it a number? Numbers didn’t work in that field, so is it a word? Words didn’t work either.

Calendar Bug
Not sure how to report a bug but my calendar is wrong on the app for 2022 — days every day is a day behind so October 2nd is a Monday on the app calendar…October 2nd is actually a Sunday. This seems to just have occurred and is really ruining my deadlines!
Otherwise I love this app! Help!

I really enjoy this word tracker app!
Seems pretty cool!
It looks nice and simple enough to use!
Exactly what I was looking for
Efficient, simple, intuitive, and really inexpensive. What I used to do with a complicated spreadsheet is so easy to do with this app. I bought the cloud sync not really because I’d use that option but because I though the app was at least worth that much (there is not even ads on the free version). I recommend.
