Your Turn!

• NEW: View all turns during a game. Tap the list icon in the bottom bar of the game view to view turns.

This version fixes an embarrassing typo! Keep on gaming.

Your Turn is all new for 2024!

• Scoreboards! Pencil and paper are obsolete. Now you can keep score in Your Turn.

• Game and player history! Player scores are saved for every game so you can see each player's complete game history down to the turn.

• Game templates! Quickly start a new game using a template. A handful of popular games are included, with more on the way. I might even take special requests.

• Oodles of options! Configure your game any way you want with a host of options to adjust score display, strictness, and game automation.

• New and improved sounds! Dial up the tension or the whimsy by choosing from a bunch of new countdown ticks, time-up buzzers, and success fanfares.

• All new design! A new app-wide color scheme evokes the staid interior of your grandpa's chess set while still letting you ad personal flair with game board and timer screen themes.

• Timer buttons! Buttons on the timer screen give you two ways to interact with the timer—the same gestures you love, and traditional taps.

• Turn+! With an affordable Turn+ subscription, you get unlimited access to everything—no more a la cart features.


I worked hard on this update, so I hope you enjoy it. If you have feedback, don't be shy.

Your Turn 2.0 users, never fear. The timer is free forever and you'll still have access to your buzzer and theme purchases.

It's version 2.0. You know that means BIG changes, right? Well, sort of. I rebuilt the app using SwiftUI, some silky smooth and fun code that Apple now provides. That shouldn't really matter to you. Here are the changes you might actually notice:

• CUSTOM THEMES! You can now create your own two-color backgrounds with the Themes upgrade.

• TIMER PRESETS for Boggle, Catan, Charades, Cranium, Pictionary, Rummikub, Scattergories, and Taboo. If you'd like to see another preset in the list, send me the game and timer duration and you might see it in a future update.

• More buttons. In addition to the full-screen gestures that you know and love, there are now some buttons on the timer screen that you can use to start and stop the timer, reset the timer, and change the timer duration.

• The settings screens have been redesigned a bit.

• Sound ducking is refined. If you're providing mood music on for the game on the same device as Your Turn, the sounds don't interfere with your audio as much.

• Lightning round! Look for the lightning bolt to turn on Lightning Round mode, wherein the timer automatically restarts after the buzzer.

• Bzzzzzzt! Speaking of buzzers, now you can choose from four buzzer sounds. Get the buzzer pack for access to even more sounds and all future buzzer updates.

• Lots of improvements to the interface, colors, smoothness, silkification, buttery-ness, etc.

• Bug fixes.

Bug fixes and wonderment.
