The depth, polish, and sincerity of this app are unparalleled. I cannot imagine a better implementation, and I'm impressed by the way it has stayed updated to current machine specs and layout. Very good.
I use this app every day. As a long term daily student of I Ching, I dreamed of an app like this. It does everything, and in an elegant way. Thank you so much.
