1. 4/5Always some wiggle room for improvement.

   When there is an evaluation of an item, in the minds of others when pushed, there is always room for improvement. One such item that comes to mind is the finishing of the not itself so as to show what a finishing dressed knot would look like. A second would be to be able to change the pattern/color of the rope(s) to better able to visualize the knot. This item could include white without a pattern in a 3 strand configuration. A third comment would be to add suggestions by others to add knots that haven’t made this list. The last suggestion entails on the different ways a particular way the knot could be made, as some can be acquired using different tact. I have to add that I really like this app and go to it constantly, really! Climbing trees and taking them down from the top requires a lot of rope learning to do it safely. Thanks

2. 5/5My Go-To Knot Guide!

   I’ve been through quite a few knot “guides” in the App Store, and in my honest opinion this one is hands down the BEST one out there. First off, the repertoire is absolutely amazing. It contains every essential knot that one could ever need on a day-to-day basis, for hobbies, survivalists, climbers, or professionals which job would require some form of knot tying. In addition, it contains lots of other specialty or unique knots, that I haven’t seen in other apps altogether as they are here. Secondly it has the best video/animated how to section I’ve seen out there as well. The graphics are great, and the fact that you can change the speed of the animation as well as it’s orientation/perspective gives you complete control, allowing users to tie even the most difficult of knots with ease. As a bonus, it gives a detailed written description of each knot, as well as information about it’s origin and any adaptations over time. You can even select similar knots by selecting one of the options it gives you at the bottom for a quick change to a different note for the same function. The only way this app could possibly improve, which it already does on a fairly regular basis, would be to add more knots! Although to be fair, I don’t really know how many more knots are out there that aren’t already covered. Take a look at the animations of, but they have available and if you like it, it’s definitely worth the purchase. I’ve been a happy customer for years. Five stars all the way!!

3. 5/5Best knot app, hands down!

   As a Scout leader, I find this app SUPER-HELPFUL, being able to show someone, (including myself), step-by-step, how to do some really difficult knots, as well as, the easy ones. Sometimes one may not remember, how to do a specific knot tied before, & this app gives you an easy, “oh yeah, now I recall” quick reminder, which is really handy. It’s fun to watch the “lightbulb” go off, so-to-speak, in someone else’s face, as they “get it,” when this app is able to show, (most of the time), with great ease, how to tie a knot, step-by-step. Being able to slow down, or speed up, the steps, as well as being able to turn the view around, to an opposite viewpoint. It’s great! I HIGHLY recommend this app. It is the absolute BEST, at showing how to tie knots. In fact, today, I am telling all of my fellow leaders in my troop to download this app, as we are responsible for teaching some knots to some fellow scouters, and scouts, at an upcoming camp-o-ree. Thumbs up, 5 stars. Kudos to the app developer(s) on such a well-done app!

4. 5/5File under: never knew you needed

   A+ for the selection and the way the visualization can be manipulated, seeing it from all sides and slowing it down or scrubbing back and forth. Knots have many a names so there's times where I'll have to search the internet for its other names before I find it in the app, but they are definitely all in the app. It helps me to familiarize myself with photos or videos of the knots in the real world on the web but then it's indispensable having the app in the field as a resource to "remind" myself how the knot is tied. But learning is a worthy endeavor and you won't believe how often you can use knots more functional than a square knot around the house. I used a simple constructor knot to tie yard scraps up using an ivy vine I pulled from the pile of sticks and blew my neighbors mind.

5. 5/5Always Struggled to Remember Knots! “Knot” Anymore!!

   I’m a highly intelligent person and I did sailing for years so when I say I was a mess when it came to knots I hope you understand how out of character that was for me. It didn’t seem I could learn them in any way that could stick with me. I tried and tried until I got THIS APP!!! I’ve climbed with rappelling ropes and done tree trimming, and I literally have whipped this app out while dangling above 50 feet of nothing below me and adjusted my Figure 8 Knot. I even know the NAMES of knots and alternatives because of this app!! I don’t recommend apps lightly, but this is one of the most consistently useful apps I have. It’s extremely clear, and you can slow the making of the knot down in the short animation so you see the key moments in making it. The descriptions are clear and for things like lashing stuff down in the back of your truck, or climbing, sailing, or even ornamental rope work, you can’t get a better or more informative app than this. It tells you where the knots are best used and what their best strengths are. Sure, you can look up more information online if you NEED more, but I find it’s more than enough what this app provides. It’s a concise and immediately useful guide to tying knots correctly every time. I have so many useless apps people have gotten me to download that when there is a great reference app like this, where all the information stays right on my phone even when there is no reception for the internet, it makes a real difference. I can’t recommend it enough; simple, straightforward brilliance.
