Turn - Reading Tracker & Timer

Was really loving this book tracker it was perfect for what I needed until the 1st Jan 2024 it kept showing the loading circle then froze and now I’ve lost all my 2023 book statistics, not sure if it was supposed to do that but wish it hadn’t. I’m on the pro version of the app.

This app seems excellent for managing book collections and quotes. It lacks some important functionality, like being able to search quotes across books and tagging quotes. If it was a going concern it would therefore rate 3-4 stars. The biggest problem however is that it doesn’t seems to be a going concern any longer. The last update was a year ago and the develop is not responding to email. A great pity :-(

Handy for tracking just how long you read for instead of only tracking the books you are reading. Is there a way of syncing between devices? I have this in both my phone and iPad and would like to switch between the two but if I start a timer on one it doesn’t show up on the other.

When I first downloaded this app, I wasn’t a great reader. I didn’t read much and didn’t have the time or energy to do so. But now, this app is so good at encouraging people to read, I am reading for over 15 minutes per day! I set goals, check my streaks and keep looking at my analytics to check how much I have read and keep myself focused on the good parts of reading. To sum it up, I would definitely get this free app if you are looking to read more. My only suggestion is that the creator of the app adds more stats such as pages read.

Thank you for this application, I really enjoy reading books with it

I really like the app for its clean and simple design. I would have given it 5 star if it had an Apple Watch app as well because it would be easier to start, pause and end sessions on watch than reaching out to iPhone all the time! Kudos to the team.

The one thing that would make it better is if you could see your past stats and stats per month aswell

-As an avid reader I’ve tried tones of tracker apps in search of the perfect one. After many attempts with other apps which failed due to there complicated layouts and monthly subscription I stumbled across Turn. -What sets Turn from all the other tracker apps is its sleek and simple layout, which makes it easy to sort my library into shelves by theme and series which most other tracker apps lack. -Also it allows me to easily see my progress for each book, log notes and look back on previous sessions. -unlike most tracker apps with a very limited free version that later requires a monthly subscription fee, Turn allows for a one time purchase for their pro version, this being cheaper then one months subscription for other apps at just £7.99 for a lifetime. -So if you are looking for a Sleek and straightforward reading tracker app with no monthly subscription fees and an incredible progression system I would highly recommend you downloading this app as its the perfect tracker app you’ve been searching for!

I’ve tried several reading trackers, here’s why Turn is my favourite: Great design with reading progress of books clearly visible. Excellent statistics with daily and annual reading goals and a view of the last 7 days reading - this is my favourite feature. I can see my time and pages for this week in yellow, with a grey bar next to them that compares last week’s reading. This motivates me to read more and increase on the previous week. Analytics also show reading streaks, reading time and books read. Useful information without looking busy. Finally, no subscription. There’s a generous free version with a very reasonable one time purchase for the pro version which costs less for a lifetime upgrade than some reading apps are charging for one month’s subscription.

have been searching for a reading app that allows me to log the actual time it takes me to read - not just in days. was wondering though, is there a way to log books i’ve already read that i’ve timed? so far i’ve just marked them as ‘finished’ but the time is 00:00 as i didn’t have the app when i read them. so happy this app exists! won’t worry about my clock app as much!!
