Great for visiting shrines! You can even get o-mikuji! Recommended for the following people! ・Those who are scheduled to, or would like to visit Japan ・Those who would like to visit shrines ・Those who have an interest in Japanese culture There are a number of angles to the bows used when visiting shrines, (though they are not the kind that the gods will punish you for not following) and it will make your visit more smooth to know them beforehand, as well as surprise Japanese people when you know them better than they do. This app also has the ability to measure the angle of your bow(*), making it quite handy. (*You will need a gyroscope in your device.)
