User Reviews

WordCount Plus is a lightweight, easy-to-use tool for quick word and character counts and on-the-go drafting, and it can serve as a workaround when other apps lack a built-in word count. However, reviewers repeatedly report data loss, occasional counting inaccuracies, and inconsistent paste/HTML behavior, so it should be used with regular backups and not relied on for long-form writing.

Pros

Simple, easy-to-use interface with fast word/character counts.
Great for on-the-go drafting and quick checks (e.g., tweets, notes).
Useful workaround for apps that lack a built-in word count by enabling copy-paste from other apps (Evernote, Google Docs).
Counts both words and characters for versatile use.

Cons

Significant risk of data loss: text can be erased accidentally or after a crash, making it unusable for long projects.
Not reliable for long-form writing; important work should be copied to another app to preserve it.
Word count can be inaccurate at times (occasional overestimation, e.g., treating ellipses as a word).
Inconsistent paste/HTML behavior (some sources require manual copy-paste; HTML from Google Docs may not be parsed correctly).
Lacks convenient editing features (no clear button and no multi-page/organization support).

It does the job

There are many use cases for this simple but essential app. Lately I’ve been using it to pre-draft tweets for Twitter. 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.
