Incredibly useful

It’s difficult to overstate how good this app is. I have spent hours watching YouTube videos about knots, and there are some good ones, but there are three problems with them: 1) I always forget how to tie the knot and then have to go looking for the video again. I make playlists, but they get so long that I can’t remember which is which. 2) Even when I find the right video, I have to scroll through to find the part I’m stuck on. 3) The person in the video is often not tying the knot in the same orientation as I am, so it requires some mental gymnastics.

This app solves all these problems. When you find a knot you want to use, you just add it to your Favourites and it’s there whenever you need it. You can scroll through the animations manually, so you can easily skip to the bit you are stuck on. Finally, the app allows you to change the orientation any way you want so that what you’re looking at exactly matches the situation you are in.

On top of that, there is a brilliant section that allows you easily to find the right knot for whatever you are trying to do by selecting categories. You can’t do this on YouTube if you don’t know the name of the knot. Well, not easily, anyway.

There is also really useful information about the strengths and weaknesses of each knot that help you decide which one is going to be best for your needs on any given task.

At the risk of sounding like a plant by the developers (which I am not), I honestly cannot think of any way in which this app could possibly be better. Probably the best value for money app I have ever seen. My thanks to the person or people who developed it.

Great value

Great value for the money. Offline use, no data collected, and all from a trusted source (been a yt subscriber for awhile). What more could you ask for?

Simple yet detailed

Looking for specific knots is easy. Exploring knots for certain unique situations is very helpful.
Easy recommend.

Fantastic for visual learners!

Honestly this app is awesome. I really struggle to follow pictures in books and the short videos make it so easy to learn. You can scroll to any difficult sections and adjust the speed, brilliant!

I love that I can save favorites and download to view offline. Great app! Easy to use.

Fantastic!

Never knew I needed this app until I downloaded it. Now I use it all the time!
