Simply the best.

The modern, no-nonsense interface delivers new users straight to the basics: you ask a question, the I Ching answers. For old souls who know the book well this app holds a wealth of features for deeper research.• Journal lets you store unlimited questions and readings, with unlimited space for notes on each of your casts -- all searchable by hexagram or text• No ads, no in app purchase requests, no nag screens• The open source software engine precisely replicates the ancient Yarrow Stalk method• Immediately loads to question prompt for quick consultation• A lookup library of all 64 hexagrams and all changing lines - by hexagram, by trigram, by numeric or visual render• Look up any reading by Hexagram number and changing lines (e.g. type 11.16 in the question box for hexagram 11 with a changing line at the bottom [1] and top [6])• NightMode display option• AutoSave option to save all your questions unprompted• User-configurable font sizes for easier reading• Coin menu if you prefer that method and want to toss your own coins• Share your readings via email, print, or social media • Helpful help for beginners with insights for experienced users• Original texts based on the Wilhelm Baynes translation made gender-neutral• Fresh, beautifully crafted new interpretations to make you laugh, cry, and everything in between. • The original ancient Chinese text is even included as an alternate library. If you prefer to count your own stalks or cast your own coins theres a manual hexagram builder to let you lookup, store, and comment on your casts. The wisdom and philosophy of the ancient Chinese texts blend seamlessly with commentaries that gently mix a dash of modern poetry, a pinch of humor, and cultural grace notes from the worlds of art, music, divination, and literature to bring you what many daily users have called the very best I-Ching / Yi Jing / Iching / I Ching app available. Following the tradition of Baynes and countless interpreters of the original texts, Ive written commentaries which borrow words and inspiration from a multitude of sources; Bob Dylan, Lao Tzu, Doctor Who, the Tarot, T.S. Eliot, King Kong, John Lennon, Joseph Campbell, the Grateful Dead and Martin Luther King all make cameo appearances. The language, unlike so many translations, makes every attempt to be gender-neutral.I wanted the sparest interface possible. No fake parchment backgrounds, no gimmicky images of bamboo or cartoon sages with oracles and winning lottery numbers.The software engine emulates precisely the ancient yarrow stalk method, which was slightly more likely to cast yang than yin. A changing yin line is very rare using stalks, but of equal probability to changing yang using coins. I hope you enjoy using this I-Ching app as much as I enjoy crafting it, improving it, and hearing from people who have found it helpful in their lives. Its been in constant development since 1989, when it was released on floppy disk, thanks to user feedback and suggestions.By popular request: A notes field for your journal. Bigger space for longer questions. Filter journal by hexagram. Cloud storage and Export / Import means your journal can follow you to a new device. Cleaner interface. Removed Social Media icons, unified share options.

A hidden gem, this app's simplicity modestly disguises its utility and ease of use. The developer has added a journal as so you can track your progress in navigating Change with a sound translation and the lyrical and thoughtful commentaries. You can also compare and contrast different translations by using the Library tab to quickly look up Trigrams, hexagrams, and whole readings you may have done with other texts by entering the hexagram cast and its moving lines from 1 to 6. It's excellent.

Serious I Ching text and reproduction of the yarrow stalk oracle method.

Great Translations!

The best. Use it every day, and I have tried them all. I gave it a lower rating previously because it lacked one feature that I liked from another app: the ability to store notes on a reading. But I wrote the developer to ask for that and it's here in the new version!!!!! Outstanding support.

I didn't realize that the initial app purchase Did not cover app. You are allowed 1 free question for app purchase 5.99, And then future questions are each 5.99. That's ridiculous

Great app, simple to use. Interesting, intriguing, and thought provoking. A good companion to life's exploration and thoughts. Good price and ad free.

Love it... "thoughts are things"... and your thoughts do affect physical matter.. it is the observer that creates its own and only its own reality and what and how the observer perceives will create the molecule to change in the direction of the observer... "IF YOU THINK YOU CAN, OR YOU THINK YOU CANT.. EITHER WAY YOUR RIGHT.. ITS YOUR THINKING THAT MAKES IT SO.. ".. -HENRY FORD.. **people who "KNOW".knows its true.. the ones that aren't "AWAKE" yet will think its just an app and fun**
