Yi Jing App Reviews

Dont fix it. This was one of my fave apps. It worked perfectly, not sure why it needed updating. With the recent update, not only does it not function properly and is unusable but Im afraid it has wiped out more than 2 years of entries which I used to consult frequently.

Can you update, thanks

The latest release is awesome. I love the new reading matrix. I also love the fact that the journal is now backed up and synced on iCloud. This is the best Yi Jing app on the market!

This is an exceptional I Ching app, and I dont hesitate to say that it is THE one for serious students of the Book of Changes to get on iOS. Moreover, I really appreciate the good selection of in-app texts to bolster the onboard library of interpretative materials, and I certainly recommend buying a copy of Wilhelm/Baynes (book 1) as well as a copy of Stephen Karchers version. All in all, an excellent (not so) little app! The only thing I feel could use a bit of work is iCloud syncing of readings between different devices, as I havent yet found it to consistently work (it was briefly, but not so much at the moment). Otherwise, Ive had no real issues with any of the various updates over the last 3 years....color me impressed!

Just what the I Ching needs a pop up when you are ready to ask a question. What hexagram did you get to STICK that in? Get a bag of fortune cookies. Save your money.

The designer is helpful with any issues which have been very few. The app works great. Most important is the various books available to integrate in. Especially. Stephen Karcher. His Yijing work is the best. This is my fave app

My journal entries were wiped out.. app continues to crash.. It doesnt even do readings anymore. This used to be a top notch program but updates have been making it unusable. [edit: I just discovered that the app was crashing on my ipad2 because of a bug with the icloud journal archiving. After reinstalling the app and turning off the icloud option in the app settings *before launching the app for the first time* I was able to get the app work without crashing. I re-rated the app to four stars after getting it to work again. The truth is this app is by far the best app available for iOS.. regardless of the bugs I encountered.]

Easy, beautiful app The extra books you can buy make it a real scholars resource

I had some issues last week with the app after the latest upgrade, however, the developer got back to me immediately and was patient and generous in helping me. This is a great app! I own many different versions and translations of the Yi Ching and, yet, use the app all the time. Amazing!

I bought this one years ago and have seen nothing but value from the purchase. The expansion of available books, the ongoing capacity to keep notes, and the flexibility of casting methods all serve to put this version of the I Ching at the top of the heap. This is the one you want, folks.

Ive used this app for years on my iPad, and just installed it on my iPhone as well. Its my primary go-to I Ching resource these days and continues to exceed my expectations with each update. I love the ability to consult multiple interpretations and reference books (contextual to the hexagram Im reading) with a button and a swipe; and its equally cool to be able to mix up the coin toss method with yarrow stalks and more. The interface is well done, and the notes/sharing features are invaluable. Highly recommended for I Ching aficionados and new users alike.

I have been using this app for several years now. It has a gorgeous user interface. It is well organized, and lovingly supported by the developer. It is regularly updated with new texts available for in-app purchase. I have seen continued reliability through the operations and functions. The only problem I have came across is when I decided to enable iCloud syncing on both my iPhone and iPad apps. To recover the journals that I lost after enabling iCloud syncing I followed the steps described below. First I backed up the journals as-is on my iPad by emailing them to myself. Then I went into the settings app and disabled iCloud syncing. I then relaunched the app and my missing journals had returned! (Do not be alarmed if the journals you have created since enabling iCloud syncing have disappeared, they will repopulate once you reenable iCloud syncing.) Again, I exported the precious journals I thought had been missing by emailing them to myself (you will manually input these later after reenabling iCloud syncing). Once I confirmed receipt of my backup, I then reenabled iCloud syncing in the settings app. Upon relaunching the app, all of my post-iCloud-syncing journals reappeared and the missing journals were once again missing. At this point it was but a small chore to manually input the many valuable journals I thought I had lost from the backup I had emailed to myself earlier, YMMV. For those that purchase this app, but want a copy of the Wilhelm-Baynes translation, this can still be done! It does require that you purchase the I Ching version of this app, also created by Flat Earth Studio (and probably available only in the US App Store). Once you purchase the copies of the books that you desire from the Wilhelm-Baynes translation in the I Ching version of this app, under help you can then sync those purchases to this app. This enables you to access these precious translations in this, the Yi Jing version of the app. The I Ching version of this app is available only in the US App Store. The Yi Jing version is the international version of this app. Due to licensing restrictions by Princeton University press, distribution is only allowed in the US version of this app, as far as I understand. Thus, this workaround may only work for US customers. I still use yarrow stalks for my consultations and love the fact that I can manually input my journals into this app. This is an appropriately respectful and inspiringly beautiful way to bring your precious I Ching consultations into the 21st century!

I have been reading the I Ching as a book of philosophy and consulting the power of the synchronicity of happen stance for almost 10 years. This is the best way to read and use this ancient manuscript that I have found. The various translation can bring subtle details to life as no one volume can. Ive been using this version for about 3 years now and highly recommend it.

Dear Interested Buyers, I recently wrote a bad review of the updates to this app. Apparently my son made son changes that I didnt notice. The Makers responded right away with the solution. The simplicity, usefulness, and attention that come with this app make it well worth it.

The quick method was only yielding one changing line per throw- discovered an option in the settings to change it back. Great app.

The depth, polish, and sincerity of this app are unparalleled. I cannot imagine a better implementation, and Im impressed by the way it has stayed updated to current machine specs and layout. Very good.

Refreshing my review. i use this app everyday. As a long term daily student of I Ching, I dreamed of an app like this. It does everything and in an elegant way. Thank you so much.

Best app available for consulting the oracle. Availability of multiple translations allows for greater insight. Ill use this app for another fifty years.

Ive been using Yi Jing since the beginning. And have to say it is the bar that all apps, regardless of type, should shoot for. Great interface,fast, easy to use, easy to understand. With huge depth and additional in app purchase capabilities. With immediate response time (if you ever have any question/ problems) (questions maybe, problems...never) If you are serious about the iChing this is THE app. If you are curious about the iChing, this is THE app. Journaling capabilities, a variety of diving capabilities/ methods (coins/yarrow sticks) the ability to send readings via email to your main computer. If there was ever an app deserving of a 5+ this would be it. Brian, tks again for all the effort. :)

Updates are perfect. Very reliable and attentive developer.
