Beautiful but…
Beautiful, but doesn’t fit my iPhone screen- plus no share buttons as it states?
Beautiful, though not responsive
Would love to experience this beautiful app responsively, but it does not factor in varied screen sizes—at any rate, it doesn’t fit the aspect ratio of the iPhone 11.
Printed version?
This app is great. Can I purchase a printed version?
Broken now
I paid for the full year of seasons, $24.00. After it downloaded, I couldn’t find my purchase in the app, and it stopped working on my iPhone13 mini. Very dissatisfied, can’t contact app maker b/c all is in Japanese!
Paid version doesn’t work
I just purchased the year long pack. However the menu doesn’t work and I can’t access any of the paid contact. There seems to also be no way to contact app developer. I am going to try to get money refunded. Use the free version. Don’t purchase the expanded pack because it is useless evidently.
Beautiful content but poor formatting for iPhone 11
I love learning about the seasons every few days, and I think the content is both beautiful and thorough. However, it’s not designed for the iPhone 11 screen size. The text is formatted in columns which are just a bit wider than my screen, so to read the text I have to constantly scroll left and right. Turning to landscape mode just fits the text height while keeping the column width, so I can see the full width but the text is too tiny. If this could be fixed it would be a much more pleasurable experience to read the content.

Delightful
I feel that we are all happier when we are in tune with the seasons and this is such a beautiful and educational insight to how other cultures and people from times past move with the flow of the seasons. If you are interested in Japanese culture and ways to think about seasons in your climate this is a beautiful app.

Amazing cultural gem!
I love this app! It’s a little surprise discovering the micro season each week.
Doesn’t fit iPhone X
I really like this app’s content and look but it doesn’t easily fit my iPhone screen. I tried finding support to email the developer directly. I’d love for it to fit - it’s otherwise a five star app!
Great but would much prefer an English print edition
I love this seasonal calendar. It’s terrific descriptions of the natural world and their relation to the historic human world are both informative and heartbreakingly beautiful.
Because of this, it’s so much more suited to a real world print edition, as opposed to an iphone app. Apparently, there’s a print edition in Japanese but not in English, which makes a lot of sense. But this is too bad.
Such an intellectual and emotional experience as this calendar offers is best left to experiences to be had in the real world. An app on a screen actively prevents this from happening. Which is a shame.

no updates from developer
it’s been 3 years since the last version update of this app. the seasons list will only bring you to a black page. it’s a shame for us who upgraded ‘coz there isn’t care after sales.
regular dose of beauty to feed the soul
such beautifully curated art, poetry, and information! whether or not you are already connected to Japanese culture, this app will expand your scope and make you more aware of the natural beauty around you.
Seasonal Mindfulness
This is my favorite App. Many mornings begin with this exploration of Japan’s 72 Seasons, increasing my understanding and appreciation of the Japanese sensibility of beauty. My own sense of wonder grows as a result. Lovely way to start the day.
Inspired work
I like the side scroll but I wish it would stop on a ‘page’ instead of continuous scrolling.
This App is a Trove
When I run across such gems as this application, filled with desirous offerings of information presented in a cohesive and very lovely manner, I always say to myself that there ought to be more applications such as these.
This app is a tour of life lived seasonally within Japanese culture. While I am not certain that it does (or does not) represent the way any one individual celebrates life–given that the information provided spans across different prefectures (and speaks to references and traditions from Japanese history, although of course these still touch many people today)–it seems that nature's way of symbolizing the turning of the seasons is pretty universal throughout the country.
Like other reviewers, I would really love to look back at past months, if that could be made a possibility.

Moments of nature. Beautiful information. Artful fish fruit facts
Enjoy
This is a joy --
Wonderful app, clearly made by people who care about what they're doing.
A favorite app!!
This app is informative and inspiring. I love the wide variety of information, especially the haiku and Japanese art prints. Also, there's always a little tip to prepare or utilize seasonal flora. All in all, this app is a great tool that lets you look at the whole world through a new lens. Much appreciation!!

Started out great
But now is NOT working. The 38th season isn't updating to the 39th (18 August~ ).
When I deleted the app and downloaded again, it jumped all the way to the 59th season!!

Frustrating
Downloaded this for a second time after deleting once. It worked... once. Most of the time you have to reboot your phone to get the new season to load. Pretty app - I wish it worked. Deleting again.
