When I found it, it was locked. Then it shows me a buy button which didn’t work. So first I want to say if it was free then why are locks on better knots? And if I have to buy knots then it has in app purchases! It is not advertised as having purchased. Wrong wrong wrong!!! I am not a happy camper!!! ### 1/5 — It’s not a free game, you have to pay to continue *2022-01-31, version 1.0.3* Only two knots to try and then a pay wall to continue. Don’t make people lose their time and put this game as a paid game instead. **Developer response:** Hello! Sorry, the application is indeed unlocked in full as in-app payment, but I wanted first people to understand if it is something they would want to pay for, so I first let people to try the dynamic of the game. It is a hobby project and in all honesty it never yielded any interesting money back. But some people are installing it and genuinely enjoy playing it, maintaining it mainly for them. ### 1/5 — What is up tech team... *2021-05-31, version 1.0.2* All good till you pay for the app??? SMH.. look some thing need to be done.. plz reply back **Developer response:** Hi, I believe I fixed the issues and updated the app, sorry that it took some time — please let me know if there are still any issues. Also an iPad version and an interface upgrade in the newest version! ### 1/5 — Can’t tie them upside down *2020-08-01, version 1.0.2* I tied a figure eight knot upside down and it wouldn’t accept it. It’s still the same knot, just from the back side. I’ve been tying knots since I could walk **Developer response:** Hi! Sorry, you are absolutely right! I am checking knot correctness through graph theory and it has its limitations. I'll see if I can extend the logic to be able to accept more advanced solutions, that work out of the knot logic. Kind Regards, Ilya ### 1/5 — No longer works *2020-02-18, version 1.0.2* No longer works **Developer response:** Hi, sorry, I believe to have fixed everything, hopefully works even better now! Kind Regards, Ilya ### 2/5 — Pretty cool but purchase doesn’t work *2023-11-27* I’d love to go past just the first two levels, it’s a cool app! The “Buy” button doesn’t seem to work on iPhone though! ### 3/5 — Crashes after Review. *2020-12-13, version 1.0.2* Game worked great until it asked me to leave a review. At this time I was having fun and it worked great so right after I rated it 5 stars the game crashes and will not start when I open the app. Fix the bug please. **Developer response:** Hi! Sorry, my bad. I believe I fixed all the issues — should be good now. But I will double-check the review functionality. Kind Regards, Ilya ### 3/5 — Keeps crashing *2020-07-21, version 1.0.2* When it works it works well but as of late it keeps crashing on me **Developer response:** Hi! I believe to fix all the issues and released a new updated version with better interface. Please let me know what you think if you will have a chance to try it again! Kind Regards, Ilya ### 4/5 — Fun game until it ends *2021-03-15, version 1.0.2* I recommend playing this game but it only has about 5 levels before the game crashes and won’t let u play it again. **Developer response:** Hi! Thank you for your kinds words, I believe I fixed the crashes and did a number of other updates in regards to interface! ### 5/5 — Like a pirate! *2019-02-03, version 1.0.2* Like how it is interactive compared to all others! **Developer response:** Thank you Anna! I released a new updated version, if you will have time — please try it and let me know what you think! Kind Regards, Ilya ## Most praised reviews (3 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Just started it *2017-03-23, version 1.0.2* So far it seams like a great app and has a different way of teaching you it's kind of challenging **Developer response:** Thank you for your kind words! I released an updated version with a better interface in the meantime. Kind Regards, Ilya ### 5/5 — Interactive and useful! *2017-03-02, version 1.0.2* Recommended **Developer response:** Thank you Arlin for your kind words! I released an updated version in the meantime. Please let me know what you think if you will have a chance to try it. ### 5/5 — Like Knots? Paracord? This app's for you! *2016-10-03, version 1.0.2* I love knots and rope work. There's a lot of great animated apps for learning knots, but this one gamifies it and it's fully interactive. Complete with the knot uses and references to ABOK this is a cool and fun app. **Developer response:** Thank you for your kind words! Very glad you liked it, it never yielded much money, but it is feedback like this that makes it pleasant to maintain this app through the years. In the meantime I released a new version with interface updates and iPad version. Let me know what you think if you will have time to try it!
