Ratings and Reviews
The best ‘Analects’ app in the store
Disappointingly, there are only a small handful of apps that feature the Lunyu (AKA The Analects of Confucius) in the App Store, and this one is by far the best. Easy to read, search through, and save important passages. I regularly use it when I’m away from my hard copy. I just wish it had more Confucian classics
Best Collection of Asian Texts in English/Add Huang's Numerology of I Ching
This app. is by far the best collection of Asian texts, at least in English, offered by iTunes. If you like The Art of War or The Prince then you must read Musashi's Book of Five Rings. Beautiful illustrations, landscape capable and multiple options make these books an enjoyable read. I highly recomend this app. for both the beginner and expert. I hope to see more books added in the future. Huang's Numerology of the I Ching absolutely deserves to be in this app. It throughly explains the basics of Asian thought and divination providing an excellent basis for understanding all other works in this app. Huang also has the best available translation of the I Ching to date. Other future additions I'd like to see are: The Journey to the West, Tang and Song Poetry, and traditional texts used for divination (besides I Ching). Maybe even a book on calligraphy or at least some examples of it. Good work Alexandru Brie!
Reminds me of Lucas arts games
It's one of those games that comes along in years and you remember it for a lifetime, like monkey island,day of the tentacle and full throttle. I'll call him Randy the emotional robot.

I haven't figured out the storyline yet, I guess that's one of the best parts, the game unfolds with each puzzle you solve and gets challenging with ever evolving puzzles. Obviously it's one hell of an original idea. I don't have to repeat this but this game is essential for iPad owners. I can't answer as to why it's not released for ipad1.
Those guys who are having a challenging time if the game keeps shutting down or not loading, firstly, delete some apps you don't use, free up some space, let the iPad breathe. Secondly double tap the home button and shutdown the extra running apps. Frees up iPads mind to focus on running the game smoothly. Thirdly, update the game if there are or were any updates.
Fourthly, sit back and enjoy the game.
My best moment: the sad dude in the prison. Try talking to him :)
My best music part : telescope and watch room right before you step out into the open.
My best scene : clock tower area. I'd love to have a painting like that! Awesome awesome!
Pros : addictive, cheaper then the pc version.
Cons : challenging puzzle can eat up your good neurons.
Things needed.
A good weekend, some juice, a good headset:)
