The app lets you produce a hexagram either manually, or automatically using your device. The device can produce a hexagram based on your physical actions, such as shaking the device to toss the coins, or dividing a pile of yarrow stalks with your fingers. Your device’s accelerometer, the position of your fingers, and the present moment in time each play a role in producing a hexagram. You decide how you and the device play a role by choosing an oracle method:
- Quick—your finger to tap
- 3 coin—the accelerometer while you shake
- 4 coin—the accelerometer while you shake
- 3 dice—the accelerometer while you shake
- Yarrow—your two fingers to separate a pile of yarrow stalks
- Circle of Protectors—your finger to tap
- Mandala—your finger to tap
- Manual—you manually specify each line value
