It's perfect for first dates as weird as that sounds. It's just fun and silly and makes for a perfect icebreaker. I don't keep games on my phone because I get bored with them so easily. This is the only game that has lasted longer than a month. It has actually lasted the whole 4 years I have had my phone. It's game perfection. ### 5/5 — AWESOME! *2013-07-01* Very awesome and cool. It works perfectly on my IPod4. A little hard but really fun. I don't recommend it for littler kids because my sister can't do it when she tried. But otherwise, totally awesome! ### 4/5 — Needs a bit of work *2012-04-25* Great game! Just A bit glitchy. Sometimes itl think i let go of a finger when i didnt. Or it wont register when i press a new dot. Just needs a bit of bug fixes Otherwise very fun ### 3/5 — Good but bad *2012-02-04* It's so fun but when it comes to three dots it freezes. I wait and wait until I quickly tap again to reboost it and it says I lose! So basically I want these knots people to fix this problem! It totally freezes and my fingers are stuck on the screen. ### 5/5 — Awsome *2012-01-20* I give this game a 5 out of a 5 This game is very addicting I would put this in one of my most played games section the only thing I would change about this is you can chose different colors when you play by your self I just can't stop playing this ### 4/5 — Good, but it has glitches. *2012-01-02* This game is awesome but it has glitches! Sometimes when you lift up a finger it will freeze and then sometimes it says you lifted a finger that you weren't supposed to but you actually don't. ### 4/5 — Grrrrrr to the glitches! Needs update! *2011-12-31* I would have given this game 5 stars but because of the darn glitches i have been forced to only rate it 4. Pls fix them!!! Pls!! Sometimes it freezes and sometimes it says i moved a finger and lost but i didnt!!! Grrrrrr:( pls fix the glitches and i will rate it five stars!!! Pls and thx!! ### 4/5 — Really Fun! *2011-12-21* This game is really great BUT it has some glitches. For example i lose when i didn't even move my finger and it sometimes freezes after i remove my finger. ### 3/5 — Good game, bad glitches. *2011-12-03* This is a great game but the more I play it the more it glitches. It will randomly freeze, or make you lose when you haven't and sometimes a button will disappear and no new ones appear. I love this game, I just wish I could play it without the frustrating glitches. ### 4/5 — Multiplayer *2011-10-14* Me and my brother can't get 4 fingers on the screen at the same time without one of us losing automatically losing. Please fix! Otherwise, it is an amazing game! ## Frequently asked questions about Knots ### What is Knots?
