## What is TieCam?

Using the front camera of your device, TieCam makes it really easy to tie a tie. With TieCam you can see directly in your reflection how to tie the perfect tie knot. All you have to do is to bring yourself into the right position and follow the instruction which TieCam will give you. 

TieCam Free includes 7 different knot types you can choose from: 
* Half Windsor 
* Four in Hand 
* Small Knot  
* Balthus 
* Plattsburgh 
* Saint Andrew
* Kent Knot

Tying instructions for additional knot types such as Windsor, Bow Tie or Pratt can be purchased from within the app as In-App purchase.

You can control TieCam by speech recognition in order to have both hands free while tying the knot. If you are ready for the next sub-step, then just say 'next' and TieCam will proceed. Alternatively you can control TieSight manually by swiping horizontally over the tie image.

For each knot type TieCam will show you a sequence of sub-steps which you have to imitate in your reflection.

### 1/5 — Crashes when purchasing expansion

*2024-12-01*

Has great potential if it would stop crashing when I go to purchase the expansions, hopefully an update is on the way

### 1/5 — Improve this

*2022-04-24*

Would be better if You didn’t have to pay for different nots

### 3/5 — Has potential

*2014-06-27*

This app has the potential to be a good app. But 3 out of 5 tie styles in classic are not available without an upgrade. And they are the more common ones like the Windsor and Pratt. If u are looking for certain knots, this at is okay.

### 4/5 — Nice, but deceiving

*2012-07-03*

Love the camera view use, makes it really easy to follow along.
Dinged 1/2 star just because there are Lots of knots noted, but you have no idea if it premium or not until you click it.
Would also like to see a final picture of what it should look like in the end. Nice we can take our own, but not sure if it does look right (maybe a here's you on one side and a here's what it should look like on the other)

Update: wife pointed out the "greyed" out ones were all premium. Bit of ignorance on my part prevented me from seeing this. Would be nicer to show a "premium" flag (tag of some sort)  on ones affected.
(however, have since purchased the premium one though as the mirror option really made it for me!)
