We are very proud to present the new application for mobile phones and tablets Ìwé Àsotélè, with which we maintain our commitment to facilitating the practice of Ifá to all followers of the Yoruba religion. This time we wanted to go one step further, creating a tool that helps to facilitate the work of the babalawo, iyanifa and olorisas of traditional practice. Unlike the other Ifá applications developed so far by Ifábíyìí Akódà that focused on helping to improve the study of Traditional lfá, Ìwé Àsotélè is a world-first, completely digital and free Ifá or Éèríndílógún divination record. In Ìwé Àsotélè you will be able to add, in a totally private account, all the people to whom a divination was made, with specific data of each divination: Odù revealed, the type of Ire or Ayewo, the type of Ebo, -indicating if was completed or is pending–, and the possibility of adding your own annotations in each case. Each guess is recorded by date and all information can be edited or deleted. Thus, the babalawo, iyanifa and olorisa will be able to have all the queries they have made at hand at all times, on their own mobile phone. We have created a modern, practical, intuitive and easy-to-use application, adapted to the latest iOS devices to help in the daily work of all the people who practice Ifá or worship the Orisa. We are an important community and we are always listening to suggestions. We appreciate all the reviews that you send us through the application, since they allow us to make improvements to give you the best Ifá app. Highlights of Ìwé Àsotélé: • Completely free • Available in English and Spanish • Totally private account to add all the information about the guesses made • Registration for Idafa and Idasa, with the details of the query • Quick access features to edit, delete or indicate if the ebo was completed just by swiping the row • Customizable profile • Quick search bar • Login with FaceID • Much more… For more information about the payment application agreement you can click on the following link: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
