totally worth the money. I only wish that smaller units of time were supported, down to the traditional second. a stopwatch and alarm clock would be nice, as well as apple watch support.
Developer Response
thanks for the support, the next version has brought back the CNY count down plus the smaller time unit Ke on the main screen inside the app.
Says it has English setting but can’t change it

I am an acupuncture and Chinese medicine practitioner. I wish to incorporate Chinese astrology into my practice. I bought the app because it advertised being in English but I can’t change it or can’t find it. I tried reaching out to the developer but no response. Overall beautiful app but the lack of response and false advertisement brought it down to 3 stars for me
Developer Response
Hey J, thanks for the kind 3 star. Sorry for the confusion and I will make sure and correct the misinformation that bothered you in the descripción, from screenshot and what I thought the description should be, I never have the intention of stating the app support English. It is a long term goal and within one year I will have time to get it localized. However, you can alway request a refound from App Store if you could not wait for few releases. Also I’m sorry that your email went nowhere, it never appeared to my inbox. Truly sorry for this frustration. Next version I have changed the feedback channel to a website, I hope it solve the problem.

I updated my iOS and the widgets load now. I like the zodiac time system so I love this app.
Developer Response
Thank you.
- More accurate solar terms: terms that begin in the afternoon used to appear a day late and now appear on the day they begin
- The "Use UTC+8 for festivals and solar terms" setting now also covers solar terms and today's festival, so users outside China can follow their local date or China's date
- The calendar now uses the traditional names 冬月 and 臘月 for the 11th and 12th lunar months, and 閏 for leap months
- The Bazi Da Yun starting age follows the corrected solar-term dates and may be one year earlier for some birth dates
- Due to Apple's new rules, apps can no longer bundle the Weibei (魏碑) font, so Home Screen and desktop widgets now use the open-source LXGW WenKai (霞鶩文楷) font instead. The app itself still uses the system's Weibei font, and Lock Screen widgets use the system font
- Bug fixes and stability improvements
