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.

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! ★★★★★ ✰✰✰✰✰ ✯✯✯✯✯ ✯✯✯✯✯ ✰✰✰✰✰ ✯✯✯✯✯

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.

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.
