### 5/5 — Excellent knot app

*2026-07-24, version 11.2.1*

For learning a new knot, or understanding an old knot, i have not found a better app. The explanations of origin, uses, and relationship to other knots are extremely helpful. It is like having an animated version of Ashley’s Book of Knots in my phone.

With this app anyone can master the knots they will use in their daily lives, their hobbies and their jobs. The clear and colorful animation is easy to understand and follow, and once you learn a knot, practicing will make tying effortless.

Valuable knowledge. I learn a lot from this app.

### 5/5 — Great knots

*2026-06-22, version 11.2.1*

It’s a great app to find a quick knot and to see how it’s  visually done. Easy to follow and save favs. Customer service service is great if not even better than the app itself I highly recommend.

### 5/5 — Long time friend

*2026-06-21, version 11.2.1*

Been using this app for about 12-13 years now. Simply the best app!

### 5/5 — It has lots of knots!

*2026-06-21, version 11.2.0*

In 3D!

### 5/5 — Detailed

*2026-06-21, version 11.2.0*

This app has a wide range of knots for all kinds of tasks. My favorites are the fishing knots—the detailed animations make them easy to follow along with. Say goodbye to YouTube! My only suggestion would be to add even more knots. Thanks, team!

### 5/5 — Got me my Eagle Scout

*2026-06-15, version 11.2.0*

My dad bought me this app at least a decade ago and I still use it to this day to catch up on my training. 

Used this app extensively many years ago to achieve the rank of Eagle Scout.

### 1/5 — Warning scam price - don’t be fooled

*2026-07-08, version 11.2.1*

Price says $9.99 but I was charged 3 times this amount! Disgusted

### 1/5 — Forced to rate app

*2020-11-22, version 7.4.0*

I could not see my favourites unless I rated this app. Stupid way to get good ratings... Sorry, it’s even more stupid then I first thought. I can no longer see my favourites, it keeps asking to rate this stupid app.

### 2/5 — Horrível pra conseguir cancelar

*2026-06-05*

App muito bom , porém um problema gigante para conseguir cancelar assinatura.

**Developer response:** Nosso aplicativo, Knots 3D, é uma compra única. Não há assinatura para cancelar.

Talvez se trate de outro aplicativo de nós ou de um jogo (existem vários jogos com nomes semelhantes ao do nosso aplicativo)?

### 2/5 — Some what good

*2026-04-04, version 10.8.4*

There are no adds to begin with but my main problem is the way that it sorted them like what is the difference between a “category” and a “type?” And why is there a not called monkey’s paw and one called monkey’s fist and when I click on the monkey’s paw knot and it brought me the the fist one :(

### 2/5 — Words on top words

*2025-06-16, version 9.6.5*

Great app but when you go to specific knot categories, there’s other knot names under the written name

### 2/5 — Have not used since original concept .

*2021-09-11, version 7.5.1*

— My entire interest was based on the steps that were provided in an earlier concept. Not the 3d animation or pictures that are included. 

 - It gives a better grasp on the knots that you are trying to study. I would have chose a separate app if - this feature were not applied. As; the ability to go by steps, further the capacity to follow along. This in turn — attracts learners.

 —— Good resource for "history lessons" behind the knot you want to learn, tho.

### 2/5 — Good app but forcing me to review it takes away 2 stars!

*2020-09-25, version 7.1.0*

Nothing

### 3/5 — Around objects

*2025-07-30, version 10.0.2*

The app is great but very few of the demonstrations show how to tie around an object and that changes the way they are tied, so it would be nice if the app included that, especially for bowlines.

### 3/5 — John

*2024-04-07, version 8.9.0*

Great app with good information on knots, the playback speed feature is very helpful for learning new knots, however I wish the app had more splices to learn.

### 3/5 — Missing alpine butterfly bend

*2019-09-30, version 5.9.8*

Probably one of the most important bends and it’s missing!

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-08-30, version 11.4.0*

This app has helped me through my fire career. Thanks for the know

### 5/5 — Just What I Needed

*2026-08-27, version 11.4.0*

Great app that was exactly what I was hoping for. 

3-D visual of how to tie knots, what they are used for, benefits and disadvantages. 

Worth the price.

### 5/5 — The Best!!

*2026-08-25, version 11.4.0*

Knots 3D is the best app for teaching you how to tie. I have used it to learn different kind of knots for fishing. I also use it as a reference to remind me on knots that I have not used for a long time. The graphic and animation showing the steps are  way better than others. Definitely a great tool to have. FIVE STARS. Highly recommended!!

### 5/5 — Knots 3D make tying and finding knots easy!

*2026-08-23, version 11.4.0*

I’ve used this app for years. Knots 3D make tying and finding knots easy!

### 5/5 — Best knot app by a mile.

*2026-08-20, version 11.4.0*

This is the best knot app. I’ve been using it for what seems like 10 years. It’s never had problems! I really love this app so much.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-08-17, version 11.4.0*

Love the app it’s been awhile since I’ve been fishing and this is a great refresher 🎣

### 5/5 — Hooked

It’s great. Really really well done

### 5/5 — GSA LEADER/ camper

*2026-08-16, version 11.4.0*

This is the best animated teacher that I have seen with its clear and concise rope movements that can be easily explained and shown to all ages.

### 5/5 — Great

*2026-08-09, version 11.4.0*

Great app. Must have.

### 5/5 — Worth it without a doubt

*2026-08-08, version 11.4.0*

My buddies love to fish and camp a bunch. I've never been good with remembering the knots with months or years in between tying em and this app lets me not have to worry about that cause it's easy to learn the knots off just this without any internet.
