  • Best $5 I’ve ever spent on an app

    Buy this App. We have a sport fishing boat in Alaska - which we use continuously for 3 - 5 day trips, 20 to 60 miles out of town/on the ocean. Our need to tie and splice various lines is non stop. This fantastic app has made it easy for any of us on the boat to become expert at just the right knot for any occasion. Brilliant in its simplicity and presentation (and no nonsense explanations and comparisons).

  • Five bucks wasted

    The animation is choppy and poorly done. The app is a total waste of a lot of money. I was robbed. This designer is not a teacher. I am not knot pleased.

  • Good App, Must Pay For Each Platform!

    The knot app itself is good. Just a heads up, you must pay for each platform. So, if you happen to buy it while on your iPad, and then want to load it on your iPhone, no good. I thought I must be doing something wrong, since I had never run into that before, so I contacted the company. They confirmed that, yes, you must pay for each platform separately. My problem is that they don't mention that anywhere in the app description. It's certainly not the norm. Again, good app, except now I'm stuck with it on my iPad, when I really wanted it on my phone. Oh well. Consider yourself warned.

    Best of the knot apps.

  • By Far the Best

    I was looking for a guide to rock climbing knots and bought the top 5 knot apps. This one is simply the best. The instruction is better, the information about each knot is better, and the creators did their homework. There are even links to testing done on holding power and reliability. This is the only knot app you need.

  • Excellent guide

    As a climber and a fisherman I love knots. This taught me some new ones for both activities, and introduced me to decorative knotting.

  • Best knot app

    By NurseJayThere
    This is my fave knot app! It has tons of knots, and the pictures are easy to follow. My favorite thing about this app over others, is that it demonstrates hand wrapping and one handed tying methods. The categories are well laid out. With this and Knots3d, I can tie any knot. Knots3d is also a very good knot app, but only shows the knot being tied from the end, this can make some knots like the alpine butterfly, more confusing than they need be.

  • Combines the best of boat, scout and para cord knots

    Glad I bought this app. Worried it was not worth the $5, but after spending over $50 for ebooks on para cord, marine knots, and other apps, I'm really glad I took the plunge. The animation is first rate on my iPad. The color is magnificent and the knot list exceeds comprehensive. I forget how to tie knots when I am out and about. Now I have the whole kit and kaboudal with me where ever I go. Can't say enough good things about this app.

  • Paid - but software never downloaded

    Now I know why there was only 1 review - probably written by the offshore developer that nailed me for $5.

  • Excellent

    This app is perfect for learning to tie virtually any knot even for a dyslexic like me. The easy to follow graphics that you can pause at each step make it simple to learn even complicated knots. I've been using it for marine/fishing applications with excellent results.
