I highly recommend showing which part of the rope can be loaded with a weight for those designed to carry a weight or to hang something. Most people would know but I think it would complete the app by allowing rookies like me to better choose which knot to use for particular applications. ### 4/5 — Great visuals! *2018-05-25* Can you add a Truckies Hitch? **Developer response:** Thank you. We will add it. ### 4/5 — I’m having fun and learning at the same time *2018-03-16* I truly enjoy this. It’s the simple version for a simple life.

Was a great help at my friends family cabin on a remote island in beautiful BC Canada! ### 5/5 — Great App *2017-03-09, version 1.0.5* Always good to have a reference when needed. Does need a better way to display text. Sometimes hard to read. ### 4/5 — Easy to use and follow *2017-02-26, version 1.0.5* Very simple and clear instructions. I look forward to more knots. ### 5/5 — Excellent tutorial! *2017-02-05* Step-by-step tutorial for making more types of knots than you'll ever need. ### 4/5 — Wonderful knots *2017-01-23, version 1.0.5* All these knots are very useful. I love this app ### 5/5 — Great app *2016-12-02* Simple instructions. Perfect. ### 5/5 — Perfect for teaching Boy Scouts *2016-11-19, version 1.0.5* The visualizations are perfect for previewing and reviewing. ### 4/5 — Old Boy Scout *2016-11-09, version 1.0.5* This is a good site for reviewing knots that have been previously learned years before. I wish it had more explanation about the parts of the rope and building knots for the beginner. ### 5/5 — Great app very useful *2016-11-05* Very handy app very good instructions and easy to follow ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Hard to navigate *2017-06-02, version 1.0.5* No complete list. Lacks search feature. ### 2/5 — Knots *2024-01-25* After downloading the app I discovered there were very few knots I was looking for. So I uninstalled the app..right away. But of course I was billed for the app (all of .99 cents), Was not happy with the app., but the price will not break the bank. ### 2/5 — Don't update! *2016-10-05, version 1.0.5* This version stinks. Now it has some kind of DIY website in place of the favorites. The text is impossible to read, as the background is transparent over a bunch of social media links, or has a giant check mark or X over it. I hate that Apple will not let you roll back to previous versions. ### 2/5 — Ads in a paid app? *2013-10-01* Great app overall but I wouldn't have paid for it knowing there are ads! ### 2/5 — Only a few knots *2012-07-23* Not enough knots. ### 3/5 — Pretty good, but... *2023-01-02* Great little app, only problem I have with it is the download feature for extra knots no longer works. ### 3/5 — Can't save downloaded knots *2015-03-11* Would be great except I took the time to download extra knots and it won't save. Not on an iPad Air 2 or on an iPhone 5. Will be 5* once this is fixed. ### 3/5 — Goodish *2014-07-19* The animations are clear, but they are very blurry, and look terrible compared to other knot apps. They don't take advantage of the retina display resolution. The number of knots is also poor compared to other apps. Look elsewhere... ### 3/5 — My review *2013-07-24* This app is very good if you want to learn some short little party tricks to show your friends but if you want to learn some serious knots don't look here I give this app 3/5 because its very good for fun, so I would recommend it to my friends who want to learn some very cool very EASY knots😃 ### 3/5 — Not Bad But Could Definitely Be Improved *2013-06-12, version 1.0.0* Not bad. It does give excellent and easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions in how to tie the knots, but the explanations of what each knot is for are impossible to read before they disappear, which will leave a beginner in the lurch without knowing when each should best be used. This needs to be part of the existing user-controlled "how-to" sequence. Downloading the majority of the knots is weird but isn't really such a big deal, but that section contains most of the most commonly used and useful knots, instead of putting them in the first section! Seems a bit backward to me. It would be nice if they were alphabetized - but also if they could be sorted by most common/most frequently used, as well as easiest to hardest. And as others have also mentioned, there's no square knot for some reason! This is *the* most basic useful knot there is, and arguably the most important. It's absolutely inconceivable to leave it out of any knot-tying reference. It's a very easy knot, but one which people often screw up. The best use of this app as a result of all this is for those who already know when to use each knot but just need a refresher on how to execute it. A beginner will certainly also learn a great deal, but should also consult other references to find out when each knot is best used. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — If you need a knot *2021-05-06* I’ve been using this app for years.
