### 1/5 — Expired App

*2024-12-28*

Wanted to check to make sure I had a knot correct and find the app is stuck with a note blocking its use.  I never thought my Ipad might become useless eventually due to apps upgrading to pay per view.  I don’ t use it enough to pay to continu

### 5/5 — Great app for learning knots, has been fixed!

*2024-07-03, version 2.8.0*

There are no adds at least for me, and the app works! It did go through a pitied for me where it would not work b it that no longer happens. The instructions are thorough, the animations are well done, and the information is interesting. I would definitely recommend this app for you if you are trying to learn to tie knots!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2024-04-22, version 2.7.3*

Buggy shows 0 for all knots

### 2/5 — It’s ok

*2024-02-10, version 2.7.3*

It was ok when I would use it just a little buggy but I haven’t used it more than 2 times

### 5/5 — One knot I needed animated weird

*2024-01-05*

This app is super nice. However, the taut-line hitch animates sideways… it’s hard to describe. Hopefully that one gets fixed,  but they’re great

### 4/5 — Good app!

*2023-12-27, version 2.7.3*

Nice that NO DATA is collected!
The one thing I would suggest is that a stronger shadow be used to delineate the layering of the ropes.

### 2/5 — Don’t use it, rate it

*2023-11-12*

I’ve been trying for 20 minutes to open the app.  Won’t let me use it until I rate it.  I gave it a 2 because it shuts you out.

### 4/5 — BSA

*2023-10-06, version 2.7.3*

This is amazing for learning how to tie knots! And it’s crucial for my rank requirements

### 5/5 — Useful knots 3D

*2023-09-13*

Very useful app, shows knots and how to tie them with their uses.

### 1/5 — No content … App database seems broken

*2023-08-13, version 2.7.3*

I’m surprised there was an App update last week. Unfortunately it did not solve the issue that the App does not load any knots. This seems to be the case for many people for awhile now…. I have not seen a response to anyone by the developer, so I’m not counting on this App being fixed anytime soon…

It looked promising, so I waited for an update, but no change.
