Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Why should I use TakeTurn?
You are regularly car-pooling with about the same pool members and you’re looking for a simple and effective way to keep track of turns rotation and to define the next member to take a turn. This website provides you and your teammates a central and shared environment to easily manage your rotations from anywhere and using any type of media.

How is determined the next member to take a turn?
While validating a new turn, a role is assigned to each member:
Taker – is the one that took this turn
In – for the transported members
Out – if a member did not participate to the turn
The next to take a turn, is the one having the smaller ratio total count of ‘Taker’ divided by total count of ‘In’. This ensures that, independently to the number of participations, all members will enjoy the transportations in the same proportions.

I have created my first rotation but I cannot see any ‘New turn’ button!
Please, invite a pool member to join your rotation or wait for her/him to accept your invitation. You will only be able to add new turns if the rotation counts at least two members.

I’m trying to add a new turn but nothing happens when I click on the ‘Add’ button!
Check the assigned roles. A turn will only be valid if it counts at least one 'Taker' and one 'In'.
