New share option in the journal lets you link to a web page of your reading. Fixed a bug that blocked saving the most recent journal entry under a highly specific set of circumstances.

Fix to the journal export and improvement suggestion functions, which were broken due to changes in iOS 18.

Another user request answered: I've added the James Legge translation. Toggle it on and off in the Settings Menu. The Chinese text now includes the Xiang Zhuan or Ten Wings.

Fixed a bug that disabled mailto links for improvement suggestions and journal backup Improved animated coin display Text improvements

There's a fun new "Virtual Coin" option in the coin menu. Shake your device, the coins flip, and you generate your line. And we now have a "Clear" Button for the question box thanks to a suggestion from a user. Such a simple and seemingly obvious improvement that I somehow did not think of in the 8 years I've been developing this app. I also eliminated the confusing 'push-down' effect which made it appear to some new users that hexagrams were being generated top-down. There were many other little tweaks and bug fixes, including a doozy found by a user who was numbering their questions. That inadvertently triggered the "look up by notation" feature. That's the one where you can type 11.23 into the question box and see hexagram 11, Peace, with changing lines in the second and third place. It's a great research feature, and now it only triggers when a properly formatted number is entered. Finally, I added a link to buy me a coffee, cuz I love coffee, and a kind user who bought me several told me to.

Per popular request, when you cast a hexagram the bottom line now appears in a fixed position, with new lines appearing above and eliminating the confusing 'push-down' effect. I had many new users write thinking I was generating hexagrams from the top down, so thank you for helping me clear this up. Bunch of other little tweaks and bug fixes, including a doozy found by a user who was numbering their questions. That inadvertantly triggered the "look up by notation" feature.

It's a great research feature, and now it only triggers when a properly formatted number is entered. Among the features you will NOT find is the ability to lock your journal with a password. Sorry, those of you who requested this one, try as I might I could not find a way to ensure all three of my requirements for this feature could be implemented. I wanted to make sure 1. It was REALLY secure, 2. It had a way to get your journal back if you forgot your password and 3. It wouldn't create a support burden that would overwhelm my little just-me support team. Honestly, I think device security is your best bet for keeping your journal from prying eyes.

You can now search the entire library of Hexagram and changing line text from a search box in the Library. For users of the Baynes translation, the missing text for Hexagram 32, and many typos, have been fixed. Trigram images have been updated to include more information Many other minor bug fixes and text corrections. This release sunsets Apple Watch support. Watch support may be restored in future releases.

Find old castings with text search. Bug fixes: Commas in questions now captured and turned to em-dashes.

User - requested features: Apple Watch now displays a fun-sized reading before passing the full reading to handover You can now edit previously stored journal questions Added buttons and boxes to the settings menu Dark mode improvements New styling on dialogue boxes User-spotted bugs fixed: The Mystery Intermittent Save issue was found and vanquished (there lies a long story...)

By user request, now introducing "User Settings" There's a new AutoSave mode which will save questions & readings without prompting; NightMode for easy low-light reading User-definable font sizes Font size now scales to device size Minor bug fixes and improvements

Brand new screen design for iPhone X and an easier-to-use rating system. An embarrassing typo banished to the Vogon airlock. More goodness.

By entering decimal notation in the question box, you can look up specific casts: e.g. 11.26 for hex 11 with changes in position 2 and 6; User Request: The Yin-Yang button has been moved to a bottom bar menu; it now stays put when casting; User Request: Changing line animations are now less ambiguous (confusion around whether it's primarily a strong or yielding line resolved by animating grey-shift only, not shape); The Library now displays all line texts; The Coin menu has been overhauled for better visual and user experience consistency; User Bug Report: Fixed an intermittent bug which skipped some line readings on first cycle; User Bug Report: Fixed a layout bug which rendered footer menus unresponsive on very (VERY) small screens. Enhanced Vogon poetry.

This major upgrade adds all the functionality users said they wanted in an I-Ching app: -Journal Backup: you can now email your journal to yourself, store it someplace safe, and append journals from one device to another. Journal data can be pasted into a web page that will replicate your in-app journal as a saveable html page. -Coin Menu: Those who prefer to cast their own coins or stalks can build a hexagram line by line and then use the lookup menu for the reading. Handy for researching specific hexagram and line combinations too! -Trigram Lookup: at the bottom of the library screen there's a link to a trigram lookup engine for investigating particular combinations of Earth, Mountain, Lake, Water, Wind, Thunder, Fire, Heaven. If you're looking at a hexagram but don't know its number or name, this is the best way to find it. --iOS Share Sheet integration: you can now share your cast to any app configured for sharing on your device: make a reminder, add to your notes or reading list, send a link via Airdrop, or send a message to a friend using iOS messenger or your own 3rd party apps. In addition, there's a bunch of little tweaks and improvements: --The main reading screens all now scroll properly, without that sideways shimmy you saw in some screens on previous versions --Share buttons have been expanded and moved to the bottom of each reading screen for easier access --Shares via Social Media and Share Sheet now include an image of the primary hexagram screen --Modals now look and behave better --The significance of Hexagram 11 as a visual battlements reference and central metaphor is now fully correlated to Philip K. Dick's Man in the High Castle

This is a cleanup release: Fixed compile setting bug which caused some iPad versions to hang on startup Fixed a type variable bug which blocked new saves to the Journal Fixed a compile setting bug which locked screen in portrait mode on some devices Fixed a logical syntax break in the hyperspatial perspective vortex routine that caused social media shares from the Journal and Library to generate links to inverted hexagrams. Apologies to anyone who mistakenly concluding the meaning of life to be 24.

Improved responsiveness on links Fixed splash screen issues on some iPads Added Hexagram number to the hexagram name display at user request One-time New in Version screen added Improved Rating/Review/Suggestion flow Several Man in the High Castle content adjustments
