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. ### 5/5 — Even more knots! *2014-11-19, version 4.0* Can't wait to tie something up! ### 4/5 — George *2014-02-16, version 3.5* It worked great, but bow it will not update. ### 5/5 — Prompt Support *2014-02-11, version 3.5* I asked that the Egg Loop knot be added to the Fishing group of the IOS version of the app. Grog answered my email the next day, provided an easy work around, and delivered in an update in less than 10 days. I'm impressed with this high quality app and even more with the knowledgable support. Thank you. ### 5/5 — Excellent app. *2014-02-11, version 3.5* Excellent app. ### 5/5 — Purchasing *2013-10-20, version 1.0* I am furious that I have to buy the app for My ipad and again for my iPhone ### 5/5 — Learn those knots! *2013-09-27, version 1.0* I downloaded this for my two Webelos. They are having a great time learning their knots! I like that they can tap to see the knot step by step. The photographs are great. Made me curious to study and attempt unfamiliar knots. ### 5/5 — Knot tying at its best *2013-08-18, version 1.0* The website was so good I could not resist the app. It would be hard to believe that there was a better way to teach a beginner how to tie complex knots. The animated step by step videos are great. ### 5/5 — Get knotted! *2013-07-28, version 1.0* Just what I have been looking for to show my scouts ### 5/5 — Love the website *2013-06-17, version 1.0* Going on scout camp and on the down times going to have the scouts work on their knots.. I love the website and hope the app is the same… I will let you know.. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Refund request *2018-09-13, version 6.0* All my other apps work on phone and pad (even the 3D app) I can’t see any reason that this one will not, I knew this is to much to pay for this app but I like having some of the different knots so I got it now I find out It will not let me share this app with my phone so I would like to get a refund please. Thank you. ### 1/5 — Five bucks wasted *2017-07-20, version 6.0* 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. ### 1/5 — Paid - but software never downloaded *2015-06-12, version 4.0.2* Now I know why there was only 1 review - probably written by the offshore developer that nailed me for $5. ### 1/5 — £2.99 iPad £2.99 iPhone...takes the p1ss *2014-10-02, version 3.5* It might be voted number one knot tying app by outside magazine who didn't have to pay £2.99 twice for one app. Come on Grogs update for iOS 8 and make it a universal app. I don't care if you then make it £3.99 but charging twice is taking the mick ### 2/5 — Needs iPhone compatibility *2017-07-07, version 6.0* Fairly offended that they want me to repurchase this app to put it on my phone ### 2/5 — Useful and disappointing *2016-09-25, version 4.0.2* Why must I pay 3.99 twice to have it on both my iPad and my phone? Every other app only needs to be downloaded once and it's cross device but this if I want it on both I pay on both. I have only paid for one and I'm extremely annoyed that I can't just download this automatically. Get with every other app creator and be fair, not greedy. ### 2/5 — Crash a lot on my ios 8.1.1 iPad air *2014-11-25, version 4.0* Please revise your knots since some are incomplete or lack steps. Crach upon adding to favorite. Inconsistent comments. ### 2/5 — Good for knots *2014-09-25, version 3.5* Good program, unless you bought it thinking you could have it on your phone too. That's another $4.99. ### 3/5 — Good App, Must Pay For Each Platform! *2017-05-30, version 4.0.2* The knot app itself is good. Just a heads up, you must pay for each platform. So, if you happen to buy it while on your iPad, and then want to load it on your iPhone, no good. I thought I must be doing something wrong, since I had never run into that before, so I contacted the company. They confirmed that, yes, you must pay for each platform separately. My problem is that they don't mention that anywhere in the app description. It's certainly not the norm. Again, good app, except now I'm stuck with it on my iPad, when I really wanted it on my phone. Oh well. Consider yourself warned. ### 3/5 — Ok, but *2013-11-21, version 1.0* I found this app because I was making paracord bracelets so I got it thinking it had decorative knots. It's a ok app but it really doesn't have that many knots, not 5$ worth. There's only about 15 decorative knots. Sorry guess it is ok, just not what I needed. I have no problem paying for good apps. There are just to few knots for 5$. Should cost 2 or 3$' tops. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Knot *2024-07-01, version 9.0* 👍 ### 5/5 — Good *2024-03-25, version 9.0* Good ### 5/5 — Best $5 I’ve ever spent on an app *2018-07-31, version 6.0* 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). ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2017-12-31, version 6.0* I’ve had this on iPhone and used it lots to practice and increase my knot repertoire. I understand the grievances of having to pay twice, but I think it’s such a comprehensive and easy to follow collection of knot instructions, that it’s well worth it! ### 5/5 — Mr *2016-11-09, version 4.0.2* Best of the knot apps. ### 5/5 — By Far the Best *2016-06-26, version 4.0.2* 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. ### 5/5 — Excellent guide *2016-03-06, version 4.0.2* As a climber and a fisherman I love knots. This taught me some new ones for both activities, and introduced me to decorative knotting. ### 5/5 — Best game on the iPad. *2016-02-27, version 4.0.2* A perfect combination of entertainment and usefulness. All you need is a bit of string. And an iPad. ### 5/5 — Best knot app *2015-12-04, version 4.0.2* 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. ### 5/5 — Combines the best of boat, scout and para cord knots *2015-06-13, version 4.0.2* 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. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
