The animations rock and are worth figuring out the download!

Don’t be discouraged by the download process. Just turn off your screen’s auto lock feature for the download and turn it back on after. It took my phone about 45 min to download the app, but now it’s installed for offline use when I’m out in the mountains and really need some knots. The animations are ELITE! You can pause, rotate in 3 dimensions, speed them up, slow them down, slide the progression tab so you see them tied in reverse if you want. There has never been a better way to visualize how to tie a knot.Being a knot, hitch, and bend junkie, I love the look on people’s faces when you transform a rope into a multitool. You’ll hear phrases like “How the heck did you do that” and “Wait, show me that again”. Knots are so usefulThere are a few bugs to work out with the app, but I’m confident they’ll be fixed. I’ve learned that patience is worth it.

A superb knot instructional guide app. This app has so many different knots and I thought I had seen most of them. Plus, I love how you can move the animation frame by frame or whatever you’d call it. The whole interface and just the app overall is really wonderful in my opinion. Also, I cannot thank the developer enough not only for this awesome resource on tying so many different knots. But, also I am incredibly thankful to you for selling this app for one fair price and with no data collection, or subscription garbage. Thanks so much for all of that and God bless. I’ll always support rad and ethical developers like this. I own quite a few different knot applications and this is by far the best and most comprehensive in my opinion. Thank you, again.

One time app purchase for a lifetime? Finally an app that is useful without a subscription. More app developers need to take note.This app is amazing. I have been camping, hiking, long distance hiking, and in the outdoors for over 40 years. I learned my initial knots from leaders in my Scout group by a hands on approach. This app takes the same approach to learning by tapping into each person’s modality of learning.What is most interesting is that there are knots that I have not experienced which are featured in this app. What a great tool to learn something new and practical.

All the issues other people have commented on have already been fixed. I can’t believe the level of detail included in this app - the ability to zoom in and change the speed with slight variations in color makes it easy to follow along and has already significantly improved my camping game! I really appreciate the blog posts that go into more detail about each knot and what it could be used for. I can’t wait for more videos showing additional demonstrations. Very impressive!!
