I Ching Cafe au Soul

I'm so happy this app has come out with one of my favorite translations ever. And it has more than I can ask for. It saves readings, the readings are searchable, the images are gorgeous, it has changing lines as well as special notations for when there is no changing line. You can also browse the hexagrams by number. Thank you for this app!

I love the translation and interpretation of the text on this app, and I find the interface clear and easy to use. I haven’t seen the changing line errors another user complained about, and while I do see card repetition, I’m not convinced it’s a programming glitch or choice, as opposed to random. My only complaint is that once you click through from the initial hexagrams, you can’t see the hexagrams again! There’s no resource in the app that shows the lines, trigrams or hexagram progression, only the corresponding numbers and names. The hexagrams are at the core of understanding and interpreting the I Ching. Sure, show the curated corresponding images selected, but please also show us the original to learn from and refer back to! Fix that, and this would be a five star review.

This app has a lot of errors. Anybody that knows the I Ching will spot them right away. This app occasionally gives exact opposite advice with “changing lines” changing lines don’t always match up with the actual changing lines. They will say the opposite lines changed based on readings, and give u the messages for that instead, of what it’s supposed to be. And A LOT of repeating messages. Even a lot of the same repeating cards. If there’s 64 initial cards, I should be seeing a lot more variety, instead I often get the same combinations, usually on the same day. If you do this by hand, and I have many times, it’s better/more accurate to do, and I’ve never once experienced repetition. Weird. Especially as sold under the guise of a divination tool. One star.

I used cafeausoul all the time for free on the web. Why pay for an app? Bc you can save your readings! I was tired of screenshotting readings. Plus, it’s just so nice to be able to have it run so seamlessly on the app. It is completely 100% worth paying the nominal amount to have this app. Just to buy it right now!

Way better than the other I Ching apps. Easy to use and a pleasure to read. The insightful readings alone makes it the best I Ching app out there. Get it and improve your life.
