Word Tracker app allows you to keep track of your writing progress displayed on the main page, whilst knowing progress toward achieving your writing goal. Giving the target word count and setting a deadline for your writing project, will let the app help you to know how many words you have to write every day to achieve your deadline. You can easily see the overall statistics of the project.
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.
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!
Love
I really enjoy this word tracker app!
Love it - just one wish about functionality
Love this app. It does exactly what I need it to do. My only wish is that I could specify how many days a week I plan to write. I take weekends off since writing is my full-time job, so it would be awesome to factor that into my word count calculations. But otherwise, the interface is simple and smooth and the info is useful.
