I-Ching App of Changes 16.5.5

Simply the best. Whether you're new to the I Ching or have used the book as an oracle, an aid to creativity, or a mirror of your subconscious, you'll appreciate the clarity of writing, the intuition in the design, and the simplicity of use of this digital I Ching or Yi Jing. The modern interface delivers new users straight to the basics: you ask a question, the I-Ching answers. For experienced users, this app offers a wealth of features for deeper research. You can save and search your questions and readings in a journal, record any length of text as context in a notes area, and explore a lookup library organized by number and trigram. Recreating any I Ching reading is made easy with decimal notation, and original Chinese text is included at no additional charge. There are no ads, subscriptions, or nag screens.

The I Ching software engine precisely emulates the ancient yarrow stalk method, which was slightly more likely to cast yang than yin. Although changing yin lines are rare when using stalks, they have an equal probability to changing yang lines when using coins. This app stays true to the ancient divination method by using stalks instead of coins.

If you prefer counting your own stalks or casting your own coins, there's a manual hexagram builder available.

The wisdom and philosophy of the ancient Chinese texts are beautifully blended with commentaries that incorporate elements of modern poetry, humor, and cultural references from art, music, divination, literature, and Human Design. Many daily users consider this app to be the very best I-Ching app available.

• "Of all the versions I've used, your renderings of the Book of Changes are my heartfelt favorites. They have inspired me, made me laugh and cry and everything in between."
• “Pretty profound! This I-Ching app gave me spot-on advice. I've never paid for an app before, but I had a strong urge to get this one. I'm impressed! Not to sound all new-age but I totally laughed out loud at the reading it gave me, it was like it was sitting here looking over my shoulder and telling me exactly what I needed to know about my grumpy husband. P.S. Grumpy husband called and apologized..."
• "Carl Jung would have been happy to have this Yi Jing on his phone - great to use, unfussy, untechy, respectful of the original. The journal feature is great for storing readings and referring back. Well done!"

The I-Ching can become a companion like no other, offering sympathetic ear and wise guidance along life’s journey. It's a book that helps you explore questions and, if you're lucky, find answers. Whether you believe it's an oracle or simply brings forth answers from your subconscious, the true magic of this book lies in its ability to be a helpful guide to all forms of curiosity.

In my commentaries, I've drawn inspiration from diverse sources including Bob Dylan, Lao Tzu, Doctor Who, the Tarot, T.S. Eliot, Emily Dickinson, John Lennon, Maya Angelou, the Grateful Dead, and Martin Luther King. The language used makes every attempt to be gender-neutral when not gender-specific.

I wanted the interface of this app to be simple and uncluttered. No fake parchment backgrounds or gimmicky images. Instead, I aimed for a digital divination space that allows for a quiet and reflective experience in an environment that usually screams for attention.

I hope you enjoy using this I-Ching app as much as I enjoy crafting it and hearing from people who have found it helpful in their lives.
