The Good Turn iPhone application is a simple yet hi-tech replacement for the age-old good turn coin carried by many boy scouts to remind them to "Do a good turn daily." It is quick and easy to use; just swipe or double-tap to flip the coin on the screen each day when your good turn has been done. The application shows you have done your good turn for the day, and records the date, time, and location for later reference.

To encourage you to do your good turn each day, the history feature keeps track of your good turns. Each turn can later be recalled. With Location Services (GPS) capable devices your location can also be recorded and displayed on a map and shared with others.

Your good turns can be sent to the Good Turn Website where anyone on the Internet can see that a good turn has been done, including the date, time, and location. You can also see these good turns directly from the application on your phone, overlaid on an interactive world map.
