Writeometer

★★★★★ This app is perfect for those that want to track their writing progress and share it. The little motivational quotes are fab as well! Please note - this is NOT a word processor application, you have to write your words on a separate application (word, docs, wtc) and use that word count to update writeometer. Very nice app all the same. Love it!

★★★★★ I really like this app so far. I don't you use the treat system, I don't really see the point, but it's not a bad feature and I'm sure some people like it. It lays stuff out really simply and in an easy to read way. It's nice having a thesaurus and dictionary right there too. I thought I'd never use that feature since I usually work on my laptop, but it turns out I love it! The only thing I really don't like is that the timer turns red as your time runs out. It almost feels like it's saying you can't write longer than the amount of time it gives you and adds stress toward the end. It's nice that you can change the amount of time, but I just wish it didn't change colors like that and, rather than switching to the screen to input your details, just waited for you with like "Good job, let me know when you're done!". (Or just have an option to hide the timer, but I still like the idea of it encouraging you to keep going after time is up.) It does have the option to select "I'm on a roll", but it feels a little jarring to me since it's on a different screen that acts like you're done and the option is at the bottom. I think people are stressing to much about inputting the final word count, since it's really only an estimate anyway. It's more important that you just write everyday, though an idea of your length helps since it'll calculate how long it will take you to finish. (Maybe set short milestones for yourself if you're not sure of the final length?) Overall, this is a neat and simple app. I think it really benefits from not making you deal with a ton of options, when the goal is really just to get you writing. It's kind of fun too, turning writing into a game and making progress really easy to see!

★★☆☆☆ I like the app. It's not as flexible as I would like, there's no real rewards for the rewards system, there should be a option to track something other than word count. I have no idea what the word count for a project is when I start writing but I would love it if we could toggle between chapters and word count. Sometimes when I sit down I want to get to the next chapter but don't make it. It would be great in this situation to be able to switch to Word count so I can track how many words I've written instead and vice versa. I've deleted the app before, I really didn't like it, but I'm trying it now with similar apps to see how functional it is in comparison to similar apps.

★★☆☆☆ Ok first things first don't have the words "writhing" on your app! You don't write a damn thing! Its a record/track for your writing. Dumb.
