For years the #1 I Ching app in the world, and perhaps the most elegant, distilled version of the I Ching there is. For centuries, the Book of Changes has been consulted for sage advice at life's turning points. When its wisdom is sought with sincerity and sensitivity, this ancient Chinese oracle will promote success and good fortune and impart balance and perspective to your life. Its lasting popularity lies in the profound lessons it teaches about how reliance on one's higher qualities leads to life's greatest rewards: well-being, understanding, and peace of mind. Now available as an elegantly designed and easy to use iOS app, it is both highly accessible to new users and a revelation to those long familiar with the text. Throw your own coins, or let the app cast for you, and make the wisdom of the sages your own. This lite version contains the I Ching consulting tool and complete odd-numbered passages. Additional content and emailing feature is available through an In App Purchase. Brian Browne Walker is the author of celebrated contemporary translations of the I Ching, Tao te Ching, Hua hu Ching, and Art of War which are published by Harper and St. Martin's Press and translated into over a dozen languages around the world. His "I Ching, or Book of Changes", long beloved for its clarity and accessibility, has received five star reviews on Amazon consistently for over a decade.

willhave keeps everything you wish for in one place, and shares it with one link. The people who open that link quietly reserve what they'll give — and you never see who reserved what. Nobody turns up with the same gift twice, and the surprise stays a surprise. Everything you wish for, in one place - Add a wish from a photo, a link, or a few words - Paste a product link and the picture, title and price fill themselves in, whatever the currency - Save from Safari with the extension, or from any other app through the share sheet - Sort wishes into albums like Birthday or Christmas - Say how much you want something: Dream gift, Want it or Fun thing - A wish with no photo gets a hand-drawn sketch of its own, so your list never looks empty Share it with one link - One link opens your album for anyone, including people who don't have the app - Set your profile to Everyone or to Approved only, and make each album public or private on its own - People can find you by name, by email if you switch that on in settings, and through your contacts So nothing arrives twice - Follow the people you give to and see what they're wishing for - Reserve a gift and everyone else can see it's taken — the owner never can - Keep a private to-buy list with notes, grouped by person, and check off each gift once you've bought it - Gift inspiration shows you real public wishlists, filtered by the age and gender of the person you're buying for - Suggest a gift for someone you follow — it lands in their “Gift ideas”, not their wishlist, visible to everyone who can see their profile and never to them For the whole family - Parents keep a wishlist for each child, and the child needs no email and no account Start right away - Look through a shared wishlist without an account - Start your own the same way: get started right away, and save your account whenever you like - No passwords anywhere — you sign in with a 6-digit code we email you Private by design - The list owner never sees who reserved what. That is the whole point of willhave - If you look for people through your contacts, they're hashed on your own device, so we never see your address book - You choose what's visible and how people can find you - Delete your account and everything in it, anytime - We don't sell your personal data, and no advertiser gets near it - Free to use, with no paywall willhave is made for iPhone and iPad, works in 12 languages — English, Swedish, Spanish, Arabic, German, Italian, Polish, Finnish, Russian, Romanian, Greek and Turkish — and understands any currency.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: willhave at none against I Ching Lite's 2. willhave also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 months). I Ching Lite's advantage is device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.4). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
