Cast a hexagram for someone else?

[Liselle]

Play with the settings a bit. You can do it manually, throw real coins, then enter into the app. That can be quite useful. Or you can cast each line automatically.

I haven't actually downloaded it yet, but when I do I'll look at all that.

What I was aghast about was the idea that the app allows a person to cast a line, and then erase it. I hope that's a misprint.

I think that's for when you enter a hexagram manually. You cycle through the different possibilities, then swipe up when you've got the right one. So, I use my beads, then I usually enter the hexagram that way. It's a good, minimalist journal, at least you've got date, question, hexagram. And you can refer to the text for the primary and relating hexagrams and the moving lines. (Tip: the default mode is some silly system that eliminates multiple moving lines and replaces them with a single moving line. But you can go to settings and change it to manual, which allows you to look at any moving line in the primary hexagram you like).

Ah, thanks, that makes a lot more sense.
