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.
