Adding the start page or percentage of a book you've already started to the app. A clear view of your goals and streaks. And one-off payment - no subscription. ### 5/5 — Very good 👍👍👍 *2024-06-06* I love this app, 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. ### 3/5 — SO GOOD !!!🩷🩷 *2024-04-02* I finally found a app that lets me track my books without having to pay to add books. It’s such an amazing app I use it everyday. I problem is that when I try to search for a book to add to my want to read list it doesn’t show up with anything so I have to do it manually which takes more time. I would love it if you could please fix that so I can find books to add to my want to read list. THANK YOU!! ### 4/5 — Simple et efficace *2024-02-08* Elle fait le travail, il n’y a pas énormément de fonctionnalités mais ça permet de rester à jour sur ses livres et d’avoir quelques statistiques. Elle marche bien et elle est facile à utiliser (en plus elle est jolie) je vais continuer à l’utiliser avec plaisir 😉 ### 4/5 — Lost all my 2023 statistics *2024-01-02* 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. ### 1/5 — A dead app? *2023-12-23* 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 :-( ### 4/5 — Great for stat lovers *2023-12-11* 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. ### 4/5 — I am grateful *2023-12-11* It’s a great app I just wish you could set yearly goal you have to pay extra for premium but it’s the Same no matter what ### 1/5 — Disappointing- beware *2023-11-27* I liked the premise of the app and thought that it was an affordable upgrade as well. However very disappointed that the app 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 the app rating if the app 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. ### 2/5 — Love the app, but lock screen widget maybe?? *2023-11-15* I love this app. 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 this app 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. ## Frequently asked questions about Turn ### What does the Turn - Reading Tracker app do?
