WHAT HAPPENED?

My original review is below. But suddenly the sync stopped working, the developer page for support gives error message, the email to the support comes back as undeliverable…. Is this all from the new update last week?

Gorgeous design, rich library, best translations (including the complete Wilhelm), study and divination woven into one, gorgeous interface, space for journal, comments, notes, syncs over Cloud, I have used it for years and give it ten times ten stars. Thank you to the developers.

A great digital adaptation

This is the best Wilhelm-based I Ching online that I have found.

Insight

This easy to use app is very authentic and very useful to both study the I Ching and to consult the venerable oracle.

Wonderful app

I absolutely love this app and would recommend to anyone.

Brilliant app, ten times ten stars

Can’t imagine a better I Ching app.

I can’t say I’ve tried a ton of I Ching apps but I can’t imagine any other being better than this one. If I may be permitted one critique it would be that the bottom bit of text for the readings is cut off and I need to swipe up and hold to see all the text. This is on an iPhone 8 so not sure if it’s just my phone or not. Other than that it is pure oracular perfection.

Can’t figure out how to manually input

I thought I’d be able to manually input a hexagram so I could do it in person and journal on the app, but from what I’m seeing I can only cast a hexagram using the app

Wilhelm’s translation

This app has become for me a daily reading requirement. Since I found this app I have been reading the text more infrequently and have learned so much more from Wilhelm’s writings than any other translation available. The app allows a deeper understanding of the trigrams and is a real treasure to own. The ease of use and clarity is so important to me and has made the study a daily joyful experience.

Love the original text and multi- method throws

Only thing I’d want is easier text formatting. I love the way it serves as a journal, and you can even export.

Was wonderful; now it’s very glitchy with “coins”

Was a wonderful app. Used for almost ten years. My dependable friend is now consistently glitchy and stuck and the forced use of the “coins” is performative, slow and annoying. Simplicity is good, useless ornamentation is not. Very disappointed. Sad, even.

I use this everyday.

Updated: With the recent update my entire journal history was wiped away. Years of readings. Moments of profound contemplation, crucial turning points in my life and my realizations relevant to them. It was a huge loss for me.

My previous review
This is a really great app. It is a way to cast the Yi Ching, with some other great features. But it also includes a translation of the Yi Ching that is very good. Wilhelm's translation is my favorite. Reading the book feels like sitting with a wise old granddad that instructs you in what to be careful of as you navigate the world. It is exactly the type of wisdom our modern culture has eliminated from our character. The text alone is worth the price of the app. But that it includes statistically accurate casting makes it a really great value. It is easy to use. Really, get this app. Great product.

Nothing better, period

Thanks

Impressive collection clearly presented and emanates potential. Excellent and helpful.

The Best Translation

Love this app. Technically it has been moody and strange strange but it beautifully designed and it’s worth the bother. As Northrop Frye said of it, the I Ching is a wise and benevolent oracle. Thank you.

Ancient Wisdom is needed to guide us today

The ancients used wisdom tools
Such as the I Ching to build great civilizations of high moral character. It’s because the counsel received pointed to elevating the character of the one asking the I Ching the question. Today this same guidance is needed more than ever. Imagine if the leaders of society consulted the I Ching before they made important decisions. You can create a culture of living by wisdom now. Learn the
I Ching and make a better present and better future for yourself and family.

Love the Wilhelm I Ching ap for readings. The only thing I would improve on is that it’s very tiny text and you can’t make it larger or stretch it out with a touch to make it larger and more easy to read

Online Wilhelm I Ching

I’ve consulted this I Ching book for decades. It is my favorite. I usually use the coin method, but I enjoy the yarrow stalks in the app too. I usually meditate on my question at least the night before consulting the oracle so that my question is already to go when I consult the app. Then in just a few shakes, the Universe lines up and answers my question.

To me the I Ching Is not a plaything, but a serious way of looking at my life. I consulted the Book of Changes at the beginning of the pandemic. My hexagram? Number 5, changing to number 17 with lines 2, 3, and 4. It as all came to pass. I also enjoy printing my hexagrams, even though they are located in the convenient journal.

I’ve been using this app ever since it was released. This is my favorite version of the Book of Change, and it’s good to always have it on my iPhone, close by.

Thank you

Won’t load, I fear loss of journals :(

I have loved this app for years but today it won’t load and I’m afraid of losing the journals.

The best

As a long term user of the Wilhelm translation, I was overjoyed to find this app.
It has the full text from the classic I Ching book. It has an easy to use interface, a cool method to choose each line, and auto saves each divination.
Perfect.
