Hōi is a daily energy compass — a quiet ritual for modern mornings, rooted in the ancient wisdom of feng shui. Each morning, Hōi shows you the direction your day calls for. Face north for trust. Face east to rise with new beginnings. Face west when you need softness and joy. As you turn, the compass turns with you — and reveals the colors, the intention, and the small ritual that align with each direction. This is not fortune-telling. It is a daily practice of intention. — EIGHT DIRECTIONS, EIGHT ENERGIES — North · love and trust Northeast · change and wealth East · growth and vitality Southeast · connection and love South · fame and beauty Southwest · home and rest West · joy and abundance Northwest · support and purpose — DAILY RITUALS — Each direction comes with a gentle suggestion. Wear pink today to invite warmth. Touch something living to honor growth. Light a candle for fire energy. Small actions, deep meaning. — THREE TRADITIONS, ONE COMPASS — Choose the school of feng shui that resonates with you: Modern — approachable and vibrant, for everyday living Classical — grounded in the five elements, for those who love tradition Flying Stars — subtle and shifting, for the energy-curious — SHARE YOUR MORNING — A single tap creates a beautiful card with your direction, your colors, and your intention — ready to share or keep as a quiet reminder. — DESIGNED WITH CARE — Hōi was built for those who believe small rituals shape the day. The interface is calm. The typography is considered. Nothing shouts. Everything invites you to slow down. Open it when the day begins. Face the direction it offers. Wear the color it suggests. Let the rest unfold. Hōi — 方位 A daily compass for the energy you carry.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Hōi at none against CHoroscopes Chinese Horoscopes's 4. Hōi also leads on ads (none vs shown). CHoroscopes Chinese Horoscopes's advantage is iOS requirement (11.4 vs 14.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
