About I-Ching: App of Changes
The I Ching (or Yi Jing) is the world's oldest book. It has been a source of mystic wisdom, philosophy, creative advice, and an oracle of common sense for 5,000 years. Simple, elegant, and easy to use, this I Ching app was featured in WIRED in April 2015. It's lovingly written and has everything you need:
• Immediately loads to question prompt for quick consultation
• The software engine precisely replicates the ancient Yarrow Stalk method
• A journal where you can keep a diary of questions and answers
• A lookup library of all 64 hexagrams
• Trigram information & lookup index to aid in study
• Journal backup and restore
• Coin menu if you have your own coins to toss
• Share your readings via email, print, or social media
• Helpful help for beginners with insights for experienced users
• Original texts based on the Wilhelm-Baynes translation made gender-neutral
• Fresh, beautifully crafted new interpretations to make you laugh, cry, and everything in between.
• No ads, no in app purchase requests, no nag screens
Newly designed for phones and tablets, this app has been aiding study and oracular consultation the world over since 1989. Ask a question, press the yin-yang button six times, and the software engine generates your hexagram -- both the original text and a modern interpretation -- using the ancient method of sorting 50 virtual yarrow stalks rather than the western three-coin shortcut. If you prefer the coin method, there's an option for that as well.
Whether you use the I Ching as an oracle, a mirror on your subconscious, a companion to exploring synchronicity or a creative aid, this lovingly made app can open doors to new insights, new directions, and wonderful surprises.
It's a handy, elegant way to pause and reflect mindfully on the questions, large or small, that you face every day.

App History & Updates
What's Changed
The Library now displays line texts; 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; The Yin-Yang button now stays put when casting; Changing line animations are now less ambiguous; The Coin menu has been overhauled; Fixed an intermittent bug which skipped some line readings; Fixed a layout bug which rendered footer menus unusable on very small screens. Restored screen x of x flag, thanks user Frank!

Best I ching app because it uses the stalk method. Plus the developer is awesome and fixed a bug I was having. There are lots of iching apps out there but this one is by far my favorite!

This seems to be the one. It does what it's supposed to without some bogus new age overlay. Great.

Very feature rich. Especially like the ability to use my own coins.

The app is elegant, fast and is not over complicated with too many options. The ability to cast the six lines or cast your own hexagrams is great. Also the usage of the Wilhelm translation knocks it out of the park. The only criticism I have is the UI is tiny at the bottom and not clear at first.

I use this app every day and it continues to surprise and delight me and help me explore my feelings and innermost thoughts. Meant to leave a review for ages to say THANK YOU to the author for so many great moments. One suggestion: the bottom menu is really small on my tablet, if it were twice the size it would be harder to mis-touch and bring up the Android menu.

This app is rare in that it's the only one I've ever found that uses the Wilhelm translation. The Wilhelm translation has a forward by C. Yung and is my favorite. Really, best app!

Easy to use. Easy to consult. Elegant. Fast and smooth. This has become my goto I Ching app, and I have used a few over the years. I find it a great companion to the Taoist writings of Deng Ming-Dao that I read daily.

Simple app that is pretty cool. Imagine a magic 8 ball with philosophical content. This app isn't for everyone but if you like philosophy you should enjoy this app.

The commentary for hexagram 19 includes "Gilligan, drop those coconuts"? It's marketed as having fidelity to the original in terms of math, but obviously not in terms of the substance of the matter.

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 right when I finished reading my reading. Cue up "Doo DOO doo doo, twilight zone music, pretty cool stuff!

Like the app and the code behind it. However, I prefer sometimes to toss my own coins and would love to be able to manually enter the result into the journal. The browsing could also be ordered into a table where the column represents lower trigram and the row higher trigram, I find it helps me finding the hexagram better. Perhaps at the start you could choose manual divination and in phone divination? With manual the app would walk you through a method of your choice and let you record result?

I enjoy the clean and simplistic interface. Pressing the button 6 times is nice- just like traditional casting. Whatever algorithm he used produces very accurate results for me. Journal does not work on my Galaxy S4 but just fine on my Note tablet. Developer took the time to help troubleshoot the problem!

This app uses the yarrow stick method algorithm and is one of the most accurate I've seen so far. It can really give you interesting insights into your situations. The app itself is well-made and clean. I have only a minor complaint regarding the use of the journal.. often it is hard to bring it up by pressing the journal button, as if it needs to be pressed multiple times to work. I'd suggest the author that he also enables an export of all journal entries to a file or even syncing them to a cloud service.

I love being able to use the yarrow stalk method, updated for 2015. It's very well made, very clean, and I love the chosen verbiage of the judgement. Thanks!
