  1. v16.5.5iOS
    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.
  2. v16.0.4iOS
    Fix to the journal export and improvement suggestion functions, which were broken due to changes in  iOS 18.
  3. v15.0.1iOS
    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.
  4. v14.2.4iOS
    Fixed a bug that disabled mailto links for improvement suggestions and journal backup
    Improved animated coin display
    Text improvements
  5. v14.0iOS
    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.
  6. v12.4iOS
    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. 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. 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.
  7. v12.3iOS
    You can now search the entire library of Hexagram and changing line text from a search box in the Library.

  19. v4.0.6iOS
    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
