## What is Six Throws?

Hold one question in mind, take a breath, throw the coins six times, and read the hexagram.

COINS THAT FOLLOW YOUR HAND
Three worn Qianlong cash coins are driven in real time by the phone's motion sensors. Push your hand up and stop, and they fly on by inertia: tumbling, clinking, landing on the table, each impact with its own sound and haptic. Prefer not to move the phone? Tap the coins instead.

EXACTLY FAIR
Every coin is exactly fifty-fifty, guaranteed by a cryptographically secure random bit. How it works is explained in plain language inside the app.

A READING YOU CAN FOLLOW
Which text applies is decided by Zhu Xi's seven rules for changing lines. Every text is shown three ways: the Chinese original, a literal English rendering, and a reading in plain words that follows Zhu Xi's 12th-century commentary line by line. It adds no promises the text does not make and softens none of its warnings.

THE WHOLE BOOK IN YOUR POCKET
All 64 hexagrams: judgment, Tuan commentary, the Image, six lines and the small Image commentary. Available in Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, English, Japanese and Korean. The Chinese text was collated against two standard editions; the English was translated fresh and does not reproduce any published translation.

WHAT IT DOES NOT DO
It does not predict events and it does not decide for you, and it is no substitute for medical, legal or financial advice. The text offers a way of looking at your situation.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.4 — 2026-10-09

• Added Japanese and Korean on iPhone and Apple Watch, bringing the app to five languages.
• Japanese and Korean interfaces and hexagram readings work offline.
• Improved reading layout: conclusions and advice first, followed by the hexagrams and original texts with explanations.
• Improved language selection and reading on smaller screens.

### 1.3 — 2026-10-07

· A clearer cover with two ways in: Ask the I Ching, or Read the I Ching.
· The classical Chinese text (judgments, line statements and commentaries) is now shown in traditional characters, as on the website.
· Several plain-language readings were corrected against Zhu Xi's commentary.
· The calendar line above the cover is gone, and the app now always uses its light paper theme.

### 1.2 — 2026-10-03

· New: a calendar line above the cover, with the lunar date, the solar term, the current five-day period and the hexagram assigned to it.
· The coins now tumble and flip even when you push the phone straight up; a throw counts only once they have really turned over.
· The website is now Six Throws at sixthrows.com, and shared links and cards point there.
· Text corrections.

### 1.1 — 2026-09-25

· New: an Apple Watch app. Flick your wrist to cast, then read the governing text on your wrist.
· Plainer guidance on the cover and on the breathing screen, which now follows one slow breath in and out before the coins are thrown.
· Share a reading as an image card: the hexagram, its name, the seal and the governing text.
· The seal reads BEGIN in English, and the coins look sharper.
