I would love it if in addition to giving us the counts for the full page, the app could give us counts for any selected portion of the page. ### 3/5 — Well, it kind of does its function... *2015-09-20, version 1.3* Not so impressed...it consistently overestimates the word count. Not by much, granted, a few words - but you would hope such a basic task would be precise. There is another free word-counting app in the Store that is accurate. ### 5/5 — App is great, simple, and does it's job *2015-05-04, version 1.3* This app is great. For essays I have to write for school, I usually have to check to make sure I fall within the word limit. BUT!!! Make sure you do not use it to write your documents in it or else you risk losing your work. Almost always after some period of time typing, ALL of the text gets erased. SO, only use it to copy and paste to see the word count and you should be fine. ### 5/5 — does the trick *2015-04-27, version 1.3* I use this app because I often do school work on my iPads word app and that does not have a word count. This is a very simple, easy to use app that quickly tells me my word count. Highly recommend ### 3/5 — HTML problems *2015-04-20, version 1.3* I'm using this app because the Google Docs app doesn't tell me word count. I'm copying and pasting my work directly from the app because I know others have had problems with their work being deleted while using the app. My problem is, this app doesn't absorb the HTML from Google Docs and instead displays them as if they were words. This is greatly affecting my word count. ### 5/5 — Great App *2015-01-03, version 1.3* Does exactly what it's supposed to and is very easy to use. ### 5/5 — Best app of its kind *2014-11-15, version 1.3* I like the clean look of it. Works perfectly and fast, absolutely love it! ### 5/5 — Fantastic App *2014-11-01, version 1.3* Anyone complaining of this app deleting their text, there is a very simple solution. Just type your words in the Notes app and then copy and paste it into this app 😊 ### 5/5 — Very helpful *2014-10-18, version 1.3* This app is very helpful for me. Keep up the great work. It's also very simple and easy to use. ### 5/5 — Exactly what I was looking for! *2014-04-08, version 1.3* As a writer, I work in daily word count quotas. When I got Evernote for mobile (which I use to write my novel), I searched and searched for the word count option, seeing as it is available on the desktop version. However, I couldn't find it. This solved all my problems! Unfortunately, it did crash once :( But I don't know if that was the app or my phone, and seeing as it only happened once, I'm going to give this wonderful application the benefit of the doubt and say it was my fault ;) I highly recommend for anyone who needs a simple text editor with word count! ### 5/5 — Perfect. *2014-03-20, version 1.3* Simple, easy to do, no fuss. Perfect for when I need to word count writing I've done in a mobile device. Adds are discreet and don't get in the way, thank you for making! ### 5/5 — Excellent *2014-01-17, version 1.3* Does exactly what it's meant to do and without a load of unnecessary annoying pointless stuff like so many apps that you come across. Thanks for going to the effort of making it. Hope you make some money. Cheers. ### 5/5 — Just what I needed! *2014-01-12, version 1.3* Since Evernote iOS doesn't have word count on iPad or iPhone, this app works perfectly to check word counts by copying the text from Evernote. Thank you! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 😭 *2022-02-06, version 1.4* It deleted all my work ### 1/5 — Stressed me out *2019-05-24, version 1.4* This app was great until you lose 15 pages of work. If your phone crashes or you accidentally close the app. Which is stupid because your work from weeks before will still be there when you open it up but if you close it and open it 2 seconds later it’s all gone. I wish they had a pop up that says “are you sure you want to erase” or something before it just deletes everything. Have a huge paper due in a couple of days and o had about half of it done here but now have to start all over. Wouldn’t recommended this if you’re not gonna be copying and pasting it to a safer place every once in a while. ### 1/5 — Please update for use on iOS 11 *2017-10-23, version 1.3* Very useful app. Ad support was not intrusive to its usefulness. Please update to 64 bit so it can run on iOS 11. ### 1/5 — Can't paste in it *2015-04-21, version 1.3* You can't paste in it so it's pretty much useless ### 1/5 — Can't copy and paste out of the app *2015-04-02, version 1.3* There's better apps out there ### 1/5 — Awful, awful app *2014-05-23, version 1.3* This is literally the worst app I have ever had the misfortune to use. I was in the middle of typing a large body of text, and then it randomly deleted half of it, so I lost all of my work and now have to rewrite my essay. If you want my advice, do not use this app. ### 1/5 — What the heck?! *2014-05-02, version 1.3* This may be the worst app I have ever gotten. It was alright at first, then it randomly erased all of my writing! ### 1/5 — Crap *2013-09-21, version 1.1* Does it count words? Yes. But don't freakin try to do something else in the middle of typing, because it will freaking erase your essay that you spent an hour typing up... ### 1/5 — Crap *2013-09-20, version 1.1* Deleted all the words I had put on there ### 1/5 — Unreliable *2012-12-01, version 1.0.0* The word count of this is not accurate. I went from having 1000 words here to 200 on the actual Microsoft word....disappointing! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Cool *2020-08-08, version 1.4* It does the job ### 5/5 — Simple, easy and free (4 words 27 chars 3 spaces) *2020-05-01, version 1.4* In a sentence... copy and past your stuff onto the app and it counts words, characters, spaces and newlines. Really simple, no frills and other than ads at the top it’s free and *nothing hidden (as at 1May20). Sadly there are few”free” apps that are useful - this is one. **Note to developer - it’s awkward to do a review like this as you have to search for the app again in AppStore.... why not include a “review here” button next to, or just pressing Done Editing. You should get some constructive feedback and suggestions... WELL DONE! (97 words, 538 characters and 96 spaces) ### 5/5 — Very good *2017-05-24, version 1.3* Good for when am writing assignments on my phone ### 5/5 — Love this! *2017-03-10, version 1.3* As a professional writer, both writing and word counts are essential on-the-go. This app makes typing/writing/entering text as simple as drafting a text message, with no complicated pull down menus or weird font size/interface. The size of the text is convenient and easy to read...I could go on and on. Thank you THANK YOU thank you to the developers. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 ### 5/5 — Very big thanks to the developer *2016-10-04, version 1.3* It was very helpful, I was kinda lazy to count the words on my paragraph XD. Very very helpful . ### 5/5 — Great app *2016-09-11, version 1.3* This is a great app and it is very helpful. ### 5/5 — Simple. Reliable. Gets the job done! ‼️‼️❗️❕❕✔️👍💕✔️👍🏼 *2016-03-26, version 1.3* Thank you for a very simple free app that counts characters. At one point, it saved my text for several months in its own buffer. But I don't think it counts on anything like that. Well you can count on it, but don't rely on it. LOL! :-) I also rely on it stripping all the ugly, excess HTML formatting if I copy and paste something from a webpage. This is a really nice feature, since the notes app no longer strips HTML. Five stars! ★★★★★ ✰✰✰✰✰ ✯✯✯✯✯ ✯✯✯✯✯ ✰✰✰✰✰ ✯✯✯✯✯ ### 5/5 — Perfect app *2016-02-16, version 1.3* It's so simple, which is perfect, fast, efficient. Does exactly what's expected. ### 5/5 — Helpful Little App *2015-11-28, version 1.3* Does exactly what it says, very helpful and useful. Thanks for making this! :) ### 5/5 — Does what it's supposed to *2015-09-25, version 1.3* It does what I need it to do and works well --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
