Turn - Reading Tracker & Timer Reviews

by Pranab Chatterjee

I liked the premise of Turn and thought that it was an affordable upgrade as well. However very disappointed that Turn doesn’t work as well as promised. The scan barcode option is buggy at best and hasn’t recognized the first couple of books I tried to scan. Had to add everything manually. But it’s a tedious process. Am happy to revisit Turn rating if Turn development team is willing to look into improving this feature. Use it extensively before you purchase an upgrade - beware of trusting the features as promised.

I love Turn. Religiously, I’ll use it for every novel I read, alongside good quotes I would like to look back upon. My only question for the devs, is if it’s possible to develop a lock screen ios widget? I would love the quickest of access to Turn since I carry my books on my at all times and read even when time is little. Please make this a option, I would pay for this feature immediately.

Although there’s much to like, there’s some features that make me unable to use Turn as my primary book tracker. First, and most importantly, one cannot sync between multiple devices. In fact, Turn is primarily designed for the iPhone. I use both an iPad and iPhone, so I’m looking for a tracker that syncs, functions and is designed for both devices. I’d also like the option to re-label the “other” tag in the library section of Turn as “abandoned”.

I love Turn, I’ve tried a lot of book trackers but this one is my favorite. It’s somewhat minimalist but it offers all the features that are important, and the thing I like best about it is that the non pro version is actually functional. The fact that they don’t do things like only let you ad a certain number of books, and still track your daily time without having to pay really won me over, and I eventually did buy pro because I wanted to support the developers.

I have downloaded multiple book tracking apps but none of them have had me wanting to keep coming back to them and using them like this app has. Being able to track how long I have read and see how many pages I’ve read keeps me wanting to read just to see how long I can go. I really like that you can chop it up into reading sessions.
However, when I try to go back and look at the two books I’ve already finished using Turn , I can’t seem to see all of my sessions. I’ve used Turn for about three days and it says I only have one session for each book.
Overall, a pretty great app which I hope isn’t limited to how many books you can record before you have to buy the premium version.
