Recording a reading: the new version

This is for the new version of the Reading Recorder, which I'm trying out with members before it replaces the original. If you're using the original, see Recording a reading.

To turn it on, go to Your Readings in your journal, choose Record a Reading and press Try the new one at the top. To go back, press Use the old Reading Recorder on the first screen.

It's four screens, with Back and Next at the bottom of each one, and the arrows at the top undo and redo.

1. Start. Tap the date, your deck, who it's for or the spread along the top to change them, then write your question in the box if you had one.
2. Pull the cards. Tap the top half of a card to pull it upright, or the bottom half to pull it reversed. You can type a card's name to find it quicker.
3. Your reading. Pick Focus, Highlight or Edit at the bottom, then tap a card.
4. Check and save. Press Change beside anything you want to fix, then Save reading.

Focus is for one card at a time. Write what you see in it, then Next card takes you on to the next one. If the card's come up a lot lately, or in the same place in that spread before, it tells you. It also tells you when it's come up with another card in this reading before, and what you wrote the last time you highlighted the two together. See it in your journal opens that card in your journal with everything you've written about it, and Back to your reading takes you back.

Highlight is for cards that go together. Tap them and write a note, and when you open the reading again you'll see those cards lit up beside your note. It links those cards in your journal too, so open either one there and Cards it comes up with shows you the other, with what you wrote.

Edit is for swapping, turning, renaming or deleting a card.

If the reading was for someone else, there's a How did it go? box for your own notes on how it went. You can also download a picture of the reading to send them, once you've ticked to say you've got their permission.

The first time round, a tip on each screen shows you what to do. To see them again, tap the step count at the bottom and choose Show the tips again.

If you close the page halfway through, it'll ask if you want to carry on next time.

To change a saved reading, open it from Your Readings, press Edit this reading, make your changes, then press Save changes.

Cards it comes up with

Every card in your journal has a Cards it comes up with tab. It shows the cards that have come up with it in two or more of your readings, how many times, what you wrote when you highlighted them together, and the readings themselves, so you can open any of them from there.
