### 1/5 — App Update.

*2022-07-13, version 3.2.1*

App Requires Update To Work On My iPhone, I Paid For This App, Please Update. Thank You

### 1/5 — Nothing works

*2021-03-07, version 3.2.1*

All the links but one (projects) isn’t working and the animation is still to fast on its slowest setting! Also says the app needs to be updated to work properly on iOS🤷‍♂️ very disappointing!!

### 3/5 — Quite all there yet

*2020-06-03*

The other tab at the bottom does not have any interactive links.

### 2/5 — Not much here

*2020-05-06, version 3.2.1*

Very disappointed as there aren’t many projects and the ones that are there are the very basic ones that I already know. There is nothing here you can’t get from YouTube. The projects that are there look like they are easy to follow but that’s it.

### 3/5 — 😕

*2020-04-16*

Has instructions to make a few good  things. Was expecting there to be a lot more. Half the menu buttons either don’t work or achieve nothing. Overall, decidedly average.

### 1/5 — Keep looking

*2020-01-31, version 3.2.1*

I feel I wasted 2$ on this... the “Supplies” option doesn’t work.  Is only like 6 options in all, most very beginner levels. No wraps or handle ending knots

### 1/5 — Nice but limited

*2019-09-04, version 3.2.1*

As the other reviewer said it’s pretty basic and a third of the pages are 404 errors. Has potential but it’s not realized.

### 3/5 — ok

*2019-08-01, version 3.2.1*

the app is awesome but i only give it three stars because it lags and has to many errors

### 4/5 — Not bad

*2019-05-03, version 3.2.1*

A few more patterns/variant with length of Paracord would make it awesome! Put in the circumstance into the app and total length of paracord is calculated.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2018-12-23, version 3.2.1*

That was a waste of money. Everything there I already knew. I think the tutorial is far to fast for a beginner. I want my money back.

### 3/5 — Eh

*2018-08-10, version 3.2.1*

Eh

### 1/5 — To slow

*2018-04-26*

I give it one star because it's to fast to even see what's happening. If we can slow down the video then this would probably be a good app.

### 3/5 — Very limited

*2018-04-07, version 3.2.1*

I expected a much larger number of knot types to be explained. This is extremely basic & half the tabs don’t seem to work

### 1/5 — Lacking in content

*2017-09-02*

The app has had good reviews because it is fairly well done, BUT - no updates, no additional knots, and asking for a review EVERY time you access the menu is grounds for a deletion!

### 4/5 — Pretty cool!

*2017-06-27, version 3.2.1*

This app is pretty helpful and cool. I've only just getting into making stuff with paracord

### 4/5 — Ok so far

*2017-03-17*

Haven't used it yet but it definitely needs MORE tutorials 
And exactly what the 'OTHER' section is for? Dunno, nothing opens 
Otherwise looks great

### 3/5 — Needs more

*2016-09-30*

I like the animations though the tutorials were limited and the knots weren't responding, there should be more knot tutorial

### 1/5 — I paid for an app I cannot use

*2026-01-19*

I bought this app, obviously thinking it was going to work. When it downloaded it says that it needs to be updated by the developer. I need it today and don’t think I will be using it in the future, so I am upset that I wasted the money on this just for it to not work.

Bro I have to change my IOS come on.

### 1/5 — No longer compatible with modern iOS software.

*2024-05-31, version 3.2.1*
