I was searching through the App Store a couple of days ago and to my amazement there are not many word/character count Apps. And in my opinion, the Apps that are there aren't very good! Therefore I've decided to make my own and it has now been submitted to Apple!

The App is now available for download: Word Count

Here is the App Description:
Word Count is a simple utility to count the number of words, characters and lines in any passage of text. This is perfect to make sure you don't exceed the Twitter or SMS character limits!

You can then copy the text or post to Twitter, Email or SMS directly from within the App!

Download the App from the App Store.
You can find out more info about Word Count on my website: JAS Applications

Attached are a few screenshots and I will post back once the App is accepted!

Thanks

Not sure what is going on, but if I click on your "JAS Applications" link posted above OR your "Website" link at the bottom of your post it routes me to a "MobileMe is closed" page.

I tried this in three different browsers on two different devices (desktop and iPad)

Thanks for letting me know! Forgot MobileMe closed today and my site was hosted there! Will get it fixed ASAP!
 
That looks very professional! I use word counters on my computer a lot when writing papers, or even just for fun when I write a long argument or something. I like how you can send it out through the app via tweet, email, etc. Very good!
 
How much will it be selling for on the App Store?

The App will be $0.99/£0.69

Thanks for the positive feedback! :) I will post back when the App is in the App Store.
 
It is great in the messaging options, but could you implement this on office document editing?
 
Word Count for iOS

Its Good using word count. I do use them in doing messages and you can buy that app from the app store in 0.99$ !!!
 
So like, the App would import a Word/Excel/etc document and then count the words/characters/etc in that document?

I will look to add this in the next update :)

Yeah! something like that. Many of the document viewers and editors fail to add that simple feature. I mean, when I am writing, I would like to know how many words I have already done.
