Fantastic app and more accurate than other word counting apps I've tried. However, the white text on a light gray background is hard to read. It doesn't look the way it does in the screenshots shown in the App Store (where the background is a much darker gray). If it looked that way, it'd be an easy 5 stars. Please fix.

Clean, simple, and effective. The most convenient thing is that it will give me data without the need for me to copy/paste whatever I'm working on into the App. I just highlight the words in the application I'm working on and hit Command C and I get all the info in one window. I love it when App developers realize that Less ir More and Simple is Better than Complex. I just want the bloody thing to work without me having to learn yet another overloaded piece of complex and useless mumbo jumbo. Smart people tajke the coplex and make it simple. Any idiot can make something complex. Thanks for a great app. I'm not associated withthis company but I'm glad to have found them. Richard Darlington Brothers Complete Dog Food, LLC

You must press cmd-C to get this app to update its word count.Of course, that means you are copying the selected text to the clipboard, losing anything currently in it that you might have plans for. The flip side is that this use of the clipboard assures nearly universal compatibility with any application. There are a few apps and dialog boxes that won't let you copy, and even a few web-pages that try to block it, but those are outliers. For everything else, this app works easily and well... as long as you remember that copy-to-clipboard step!

Saves so much time and for the right price. I didn't hesitate to buy it. It uses minimal computer resources, so system continues to run smoothly while active. I'm a professional writer who often has clients requests for specific section word counts. I was giving away free work because my editor only tracked total words, forcing me to either copy-paste constantly or estimate section word counts. Thank you.
