Worldometer for Web Apps

Check out live world statistics in this web app

Worldometer is an online live counter that displays live world statistics on various sectors of our planet. Developed by Worldometers.info, this handy web app is one of the best sources to cite references, according to the American Library Association (ALA). Worldometer provides live numbers on subjects like the population, government and economics, society and media, environment, food, water, energy, and health. Various other sub-categories for each of them can be found, as well, and these statistics can be shared on social media.

Follow the world’s numbers

Worldometer is run by an international team of developers, researchers, and volunteers. The web app’s goal is to make world statistics available in a succinct, thought-provoking, and time-relevant format to anyone in the world. In other words, the use of live counters in Worldometer helps you see just how these statistics grow over a certain amount of time. The numbers are the product of real-time estimates computed by the developer’s own algorithm. They get their data and projections from trusted organizations and statistical offices. 

Worldometer aims to be fairly accurate and even informative of the phenomena it’s covering, such as the current numbers on a global pandemic spreading. However, you should expect that Worldometer operates with estimates on a whole. In terms of its interface, Worldometer is easy to use and navigate. The main page quickly shows the live counters under each category. 

Some of the counters have information on them. You can click on each counter—such as “Current World Population” and “Emails sent today”—and it will give you quick facts and the Worldometer’s sources regarding the numbers. The web app has a dedicated page for Population. If you’d like to check out live statistics, Worldometer is a good place to visit. It even lets you place its counter on your website by buying a license.
