### 1/5 — Sound barely audible -bug report

*2021-08-28*

It routes the sound to the phone on ear setting instead of the speaker.  The result is that it is barely audible unless I put my phone to my ear like I was on a call. Want to like it, but this bug is making it impossible to try the app

### 1/5 — Bought app not working

*2018-04-05*

I paid for the app but it’s not registering that I paid

### 5/5 — Fun & Relaxing

*2017-11-04*

This is a great app that I’ve been utilizing for a couple of years. It’s easy to use and goes straight to the answer from the ancient texts of the I Ching.

The author’s calming voice in addition to the many drum tracks, aid in relaxation and allow focus on the meaning of the I Ching.

I LOVE this app!  It is visually gorgeous, the drumming is resonant and harmonious, and the written and spoken words transmit a heart-felt understanding of the I Ching.  And it’s simple to use.
Anyone who is interested in the I Ching should own this excellent product.

We love this app!!!!! It's part of our bedtime routine... The last thing before we go to sleep. We are more peaceful and rested because of it!

### 5/5 — Meditative, healing

*2015-11-26*

Somehow the spin of the hexagram brings just the message that supports me at that moment. The drumming integrates it. 
Great app.
