Superb knot app!

The clarity of presentation and the ability to control the animation so as to keep track of the tying process is without peer. Highly recommended...

Almost, but not quite totally excellent

A great portable offline version of Grog's website that allows you to take it with you to where you need the information. The most annoying misfeature is the startup screen that sits there for two seconds. Thats the only reason I don't give it 4 stars. The app would be *vastly* improved if it just opened up in whatever view it was in when you closed it - especially since it doesn't appear to be iOS 4 aware so you get a startup screen every time you switch back to it.

I find it missing a handful of knots I consider essential, the "secure Ian Knot" for shoelaces, icicle hitch and Ashleigh Stopper Knot / Oysterman's Knot but the overall content is excellent and easily fulfills almost any need.

As a migration of the website to iPhone it is good but it would be improved with actual search capabilities, and the ability to list by purpose rather than just category e.g., "joining ropes", "tying shoes", "making loops" etc. Of course a traditional breakdown into bends, hitches, knots etc. would also be good and relatively simple.

Despite it's shortcomings, all of which can be easily fixed in later versions, I still find it worth the price.
