Is it all it does?
You need to paste a text into the provided window and then it shows the number of words, characters and sentences. Nearly the same thing MS Word does. Moreover, it is hard to say how it counts the sentences. I found 9 sentences the programme counted 4.
It would be useful, if it showed how many different words there are, listed all the words used alphabetically and according to their frequency. As it is, it is useless.

WordPerfect has had this feature built in ever since their first version for Windows 20-plus years ago. I never used the DOS version, but I'd be surprised if that one didn't have it, too. I don't have to copy the text and paste it into another programme, I just have WP do it. It counts characters, words, sentences, lines, paragraphs, and pages and it also reports on average word length, average number of words per sentence, and the number of words in the longest sentence. If I ever need to know how many times a certain character or word or phrase is used, I can do a find and replace using the exact same thing to replace what it finds. WP then tells me how many it replaced and the document remains unchanged. A couple of clicks within the same programme easily beats copying text, opening another programme, pasting the text into it, and then getting the answer. I don't use MS Word, but I bet it has similar if not identical capabilities built in, too.

Just surprised (and curious) - what is the sense of this program? Everybody who works with text and needs this function, has also some word processor, paid or free, where this function is included. And I cannot imagine any added value of a standalone solution doing the same as the built-in function e.g. of the free libre-office - even if I need to count the words in another format, e.g. html or pdf, copy/paste makes the same service in my office program as in this solution...

If you are using Notepad++ then TextFX plugin is free and portable and already part of the downloaded software.

MsWord can count words too.

I would agree with the first 2 postings. The app reported a piece of HTML text I pasted in as having 3 sentences. There were, in fact, 14. Even if this were meant to function as a very very basic app with the minimum of functions it falls short:
1 - Should have had the ability to import the text into the app by simply highlighting it.
2 - The text cannot be pasted into the app using a mouse (well in my case anyway). You have to use Ctrl + V
3 - There should have been a radio button to clear unwanted text from the app.

In it's present state this is certainly not worth $19.99!
