This is by far the best I Ching app available. I had their earlier version with the Richard Wilhelm translation. It too is a great app, but when that app gave me a note that I could import the Wilhelm book into the this newer app, I became curious. To my delight, I found that this new version imported the full Wilhelm book I had in the other app and came with a few other translations. When clicking on the library icon, it took me to the store to buy more translations, but a few of them were for free and just allowed me to install them. Now, I have 6 translations that came with the app, carrying over the Wilhelm made it 7. I could then not help but buy Alfred Huang's, texts as well as that is one of my favorite translations. My next will be to get Balkin's. I love this app. It allows you to be in the reading of a hexagram and switch to another translation. No more going through stacks of books. They are are right at the tip of the finger. If you are a purest and think that a computer app cannot deliver the same experience as tossing your own yarrow or coins, then you could still do that and then come to the app and use it like a book, or should I say like many books and note have to look anything up. It is all right there in front of you. Best thing to ever happen to the I Ching. Now, if only they had the Taoist I Ching by Cleary, I would be very happy as I often consult this as well during readings. Love this app!

I’ve been doing the yi ching for almost 40 years. I was apprehensive at first using an app. That’s said 7 years ago I became legally blind, I can read but it’s very arduous and time-consuming, On my phone I can highlight it and make my phone read it to me. I can also copy it and put it in my notes I have bookmarked Yi Ching. I do that for my most important throws . I just love there are different books and translations. there are a few I’ve had before in the physical book, that you have that I now have on your app. I just found out that I can throw coins in the physical world and then put it into the app.. this makes me overjoyed for whatever reason. The other day I was sitting at the bar at a restaurant talking to someone and having dinner and it just came up that I needed to do a reading. I felt I had to throw the coins in the physical form .. I got three coins and toss them. I got one of the best readings I’ve ever have on the life-changing path. I am on right now, so synchronistic and perfect.. and now I know I can throw the physical coins and then use your app to look up the result in the book of my choice if I choose to do it that way at that time. there’s so much in your book in your app that I appreciate, that I’m still exploring.. thank you
Great App, I Love it

I’ve used this app for a few years now and was very pleased to have found it. I used a previous Mac based program developed at Princeton University which I really loved, beautiful artwork and soothing music, but as it required a version of the OS no longer available for years I was without a handy tool like this one. Others I tried just didn’t “feel” right, and by that I mean the algorithm that replicates the randomness of the coin or yarrow stalk toss to generate the hexagrams. The results just didn’t seem to match the question as I’d experienced when using the manual method. I didn’t feel the insight into the current situation as I had in the past. This app felt right from the first “toss”. I use both the iPad and iPhone versions, and just did a reading on the iPad. When I picked up my iPhone there it was. I’ve reloaded this app on several iPhones and iPads and my old readings thankfully are always there. I highly recommend this beautiful program. May you find wisdom and humility, and make the journey across the great water to find your center and the peace that brings from the storms of life..
Superb, Oustanding, Marvelous!

Technically this is the best designed app I have ever used. It is easy to use, has a clean attractive layout, and manages to include access to multiple facets meaning with each hexagram. With all of my heart I wish I could get this app designer to fix all the other apps I have down loaded. The design is perfect! I can switch between translations, read indicated lines, see future hexagrams, find the internal trigram images, or view a matrix of related hexagrams with a single touch.A word about the translations. This version of the Yi Jing from flat earth studio has four good translations of the I Ching preloaded. The Wilhem-Baynes version which all other versions can only be compared to can be added for 4.99 or you can buy the other flat earth studio version of the app which only has the Wihelm?Baynes translation. If you have the money I recommend that you get this version and add the Wihelm translation to it. Sometimes the other versions add that extra bit of insight.
