Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
• New on Discover: Essential Passages, a note on each of the twenty books, and a life of Confucius
• New icon, launch screen and paintings
• Cantonese added — ten languages now, interface and narration
• Store copy corrected: a feature the app does not have is gone
• Fixed a reading-page fault: in the other languages the original and the plain reading could line up one off, so a line carried somebody else's explanation
• 251 stray quotation marks fixed from book 11 on, and the 167 clips they cost
• The present-day parallel is now translated in English, Korean, Vietnamese, Thai and French
