### 4/5 — 2012年闰月错误？

*2021-03-29*

2012年闰月不是四月吗，怎么是三月，是不是搞错了？

另外作者能不能把时辰的干支做进去，能显示任意时刻的完整四组干支不是更好吗？

**Developer response:** 这个闰四月bug已经修复，多谢您的反馈。由于版面设计的缘故，时辰的干支不像年月日可以在App内修改，只能通过在系统里修改手机当前时间的方式完成。谢谢您的建议。

### 2/5 — 居然用拼音查的

*2021-03-04*

不好用

**Developer response:** 中国的年号众多，所以是通过拼音来检索的。这比偏旁部首来的更直观迅速。

### 1/5 — 太烂了 不值

*2020-07-08*

皇帝居然是以首拼音来查找  这样排一点逻辑都没有  不值钱

**Developer response:** 年号是拼音来查询的，而且很多皇帝共用相同名称的年号，该软件把这些年号与政权年代都罗列出来了，很全很方便。用户也可以通过公元年代来检索年号的。

### 1/5 — 更新

*2020-03-22*

能不能去掉日本的年号 看着讨厌

**Developer response:** 中国的近代史离不开日本和朝鲜半岛的历史。本APP有明治以来日本年号和五百多年李氏朝鲜国王的在位年代以及中华民国年号。

### 5/5 — 好評。

*2020-02-10*

比自己翻看朔閏表好很多。就是價格相對來說有點貴。總之，適合數學差的同學用。

**Developer response:** 多谢您的鼓励与支持。

### 4/5 — 很奈斯

*2020-01-11*

花钱买的最贵的APP了 不过上手很方便 帝王能上图的都上图了 加油作者

**Developer response:** 多谢您的鼓励！

### 3/5 — 有些月份搞错了干支。

*2019-06-23*

1994.11.04 是 甲戌年 甲戌月。软件搞成了乙亥月。好像20世纪末的年份的阴历月份划分都有问题。。。

**Developer response:** 农历月份干支历史上是混乱的。不像日期和年份那样精确。各朝各代的对农历月份干支的算法不统一。所以读古书的时候请注意这一点。

### 5/5 — 一些疑问

*2019-06-07*

在看资治通鉴的时候，发现有些和软件的计算对不上。比如元寿元年十二月董贤被哀帝任为大司马，资治通鉴还有汉书补注上都确切到十二月庚子，可是根据关键那年十二月根本没有庚子日，要到第二年的正月才有庚子日…啊 头晕

**Developer response:** 谢谢您的建议，下一个版本会校正以上误差的。

### 3/5 — 有错误

*2019-05-07*

为了读古籍特地下的，用的次数不多，但已经发现了几个错，绍兴元年应该是1131年，但显示是1151年，并且绍兴年间时间错乱，望及时修正，更新。ps：续通监长编中建隆二年正月某天，查软件显示是二月了，也不知道对不对，望查证

**Developer response:** "绍兴元年"对应公元1151年。因为当时辽和南宋的年号都是“绍兴”， 分别是辽仁宗绍兴元年和宋高宗绍兴二十一年。请下滑显示文本，都有详细的说明的。比如，公元1131年，宋高宗绍兴元年即辽德宗延庆八年。

### 3/5 — 界面很炫酷

*2018-12-15*

主要是为了看史书的时候方便年代转换对照，功能基本满足。强烈建议把app图标再设计一下，目前这个敷衍的图标实在有点对不起见面的炫酷感。

**Developer response:** 多谢您的支持! 我会把图标设计得更加炫酷的!
