Unfortunately the text is too tiny. Sadly the app doesn’t comply with Apple’s dynamic text sizing so it’s a struggle to read the words. ### 5/5 — Spot on!! *2025-03-20, version 2.9* I love this app - it is extraordinary ### 5/5 — Love it *2025-01-31, version 2.9* Great app ### 5/5 — Uncanny *2025-01-29, version 2.9* I trust that if this app truly has a solid and trustworthy randomizer, that the results will be fully in the hands of the Sage. So far, it has always been squarely on target. ### 5/5 — A note of sanity in times of chaos *2025-01-13* For the thoughtful and especially for those on a spiritual path, this app and the interpretations provided by the author can be invaluable when sought out in times of trouble or crisis. The interpretations have the potential to take you back to your spiritual grounding. Sort of a spiritual first aid kit. I have not the slightest qualm in recommending this excellent app. ### 5/5 — True to the spirit of the iChing *2024-12-15, version 2.9* Accurate and accessible. ### 5/5 — True wisdom *2024-12-11, version 2.9* Excellent app. Great functionality. Simple. Well designed. Option to make journal entries on each consult. ### 5/5 — One of the best I Chings ever *2024-10-01* A profoundly beautiful interpretation that is also crystal clear in its recommendations, all complemented by powerful quotes from Wu Wei. Brown’s translation also brilliantly makes the text more accessible for modern readers while perfectly preserving its timeless essence. While I will always hold dear the Wilhelm-Baynes version I discovered as a teenager, I use this one all the time now. Bryan Brown, your understanding of the I Ching is a gift and a transmission. ### 5/5 — Perspective *2024-09-27, version 2.9* Alright already, nobody’s perfect. Except that sage who one can only hope to emulate. Thanks, how this interface functions is of course what the great mystery is all about. Absolutely uncanny I can’t thank you enough for the insight that seems never to fail to amaze. ### 5/5 — Thank you for this wonderful app *2024-09-10* As a person who has read more than a dozen versions and translations of the I Ching, it’s a great benefit to me to have this iPhone version at my fingertips. With gratitude and humility to Brian Walker and the great effort and scholarly work he’s done, I encourage all to benefit from he wisdom and value in this volume. Easy to use, easy to save and sometimes life-shifting. ### 4/5 — Great app *2024-09-02* I really enjoy the app! I’ve been experiencing crashes when saving notes to the journal, especially when editing notes. It will crash and when reopened I don’t have my most recent edits. ### 5/5 — Love this app use it everyday *2024-08-14, version 2.9* I’ve read I Ching for decades. This version is easy to use, and a nice translation. I can save easily to journal. I recommend! ### 5/5 — Life changing *2024-07-10* I have been using this app for years. I consult it daily. Beautiful, profound, always relevant. ### 4/5 — I’ve used this app daily for will continue to do so. *2024-06-18, version 2.9* While the original text is good, options for saving entries is rigid and makes saving hexagrams in the journal impossible. But I’ll continue using it because the competition is worse. ### 5/5 — I. Love. This. APP! *2024-06-06, version 2.9* I use it very frequently and always find something helpful in/from it. ### 5/5 — Great app *2024-05-07, version 2.9* I have used the this ancient book of wisdom as a guide for 5 decades. It is a wise, accurate guide to be trusted. ### 5/5 — Anyone can do this *2024-05-03* Who knew an electronic version would be so responsive!! ✨Amazing to have I Ching wisdom at my fingertips in the middle of the very issue I’m asking about✨ ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Keeps Crashing *2019-04-02* Since the last update it crashes frequently. It has been really good in the past but is no longer stable. ### 1/5 — AVOID on iPad!! *2018-05-31* Stopped working on my iPad almost 2 months ago after a major iOS update. Still works on iPhone. Developer does nothing and doesn’t respond to emails. AVOID until he fixes it. ### 1/5 — Unable to sync *2018-05-08* I use this app on my iPhone and save them in the journal however this does not show up on my iPad Developer has no contact details on this or his own site. How hard can it be to get one app on two different pieces of hardware to share the journal entry’s ? Both are Apple and connected to the iCloud ! ### 1/5 — After latest update, doesn’t open *2018-05-05* After the recent update, the app does not open on my IPad Pro 10.5”. I tap it, the splash screen comes up, and it immediately closes. Have tried reinstalling. Please fix. I looked for a place on your website to log this issue but couldn’t find one. ### 1/5 — Attention pas de traduction française !!!!!!! *2015-09-21* Pas d'autre langue! Seule l'english ### 2/5 — The App shuts down while saving comments to your journal!!!! *2024-04-12* I have owned and found this app useful for a number of years now. I’ve known Walkers translation since 2002. However the development team has dropped the ball and failed to make the App function for users who save there dairy notes. For the last several months the App has shut down and not saved my entries. Imagine spending 20 minutes or so writing your thoughts only to have them disappear once you push the Save button. Most sadly, I can’t recommend the App. ### 2/5 — There are no instructions about how to use this application. *2023-10-14, version 2.8* As an example, I want to toss my own coins. It doesn’t tell me how to input that information into the app. It doesn’t tell me what to do with the hexagrams once I have located them. It doesn’t tell me how to keep a log. It doesn’t tell me how to go back and check past history. Needless to say I am frustrated. No manual no instructions. It is not user-friendly. I like the concept of the app but it doesn’t meet its promises. ### 2/5 — No way to view previous consultations without saving *2021-02-25, version 2.7* Great and very useful, but it will delete your consultation if you close the app without saving it to the journal. You will lose the message the Sage had for you. This is discouraging and irresponsible. ### 2/5 — In-app purchase still on? *2016-06-02* The restore function is supposed to give the full content for free. It doesn't! Certain parts still need to be purchased??? This is misleading. ### 3/5 — Don’t use the journal entry feature *2025-07-03, version 2.9* I would suggest that anyone who uses this app should write down their hexagrams. One day I checked the app and all my entries were gone. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Magical *2026-08-22, version 2.9* This app is such a gift. I’m continuously blown away by its wisdom. ### 5/5 — Magical *2026-07-05, version 2.9* This app has really helped me through some of my most challenging times. Been using it for years. Don’t know how you did it Brian but there is something magical about this app. ### 5/5 — Works Amazingly *2026-02-05, version 2.9* I just purchased the full app after using for several months. It’s always accurate and offers great advice and understanding. ### 5/5 — The only app I’ve ever purchased *2025-11-29, version 2.9* I’ve long consulted Brian Browne Walker’s version of the I Ching. It’s translated succinctly with love, care, and clarity. Having it as an app is of great support. The app is beautiful. Thank you very much. ### 5/5 — Helpful *2025-09-20, version 2.9* I have been using this book and app for years now and appreciate the straight forward help it gives me. The journal is something I look back at often. ### 5/5 — Invaluable *2025-06-19, version 2.9* I use this regularly and it has helped me navigate my life. ### 5/5 — Precious *2025-05-25, version 2.9* Beautifully written, this wise counsel has been a precious source of guidance and clarity. With uncannily accurate it takes you to the heart of the matter and never fails to enlighten one’s journey when the guidance is properly followed. ### 5/5 — Perfect app *2025-05-19, version 2.9* Everytime I consult I feel better. Divination and love. ### 5/5 — I use this daily. I love this translation. (Also found some typos) *2025-04-23* Like I said I love this translation and the app is very helpful for me. I’ve been using it for years. I’ve catalogued some differences between the text in the app and the hexagrams as they are published in the book. Maybe they could be edited? #27) To sit in meditation is tune your ear #29) end of third to last paragraph. Missing the and #39) The presence of these strong feelings is proof that “you” are off balance and need to steady yourself. #49) “And” instead of “an” #51) line 1? When we learn the lesson it has come to teach US?, we are thankful for it. #52) It is “in” the nature of having a body (at the beginning?) #57) penetrate TO others ### 5/5 — Perfect *2025-03-21* Perfect consult tanks --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
