### 5/5 — Not sure why the low ratings

*2024-11-06*

This app is great. Good visuals, easy to understand and follow along. Recommended.

### 1/5 — Scam

*2023-09-10*

If you pay for the no ads it still gives you ads every time you open the app

### 2/5 — Needs Offline Use

*2023-01-08, version 1.1*

Yes there are annoying ads but I’d be happy to purchase premium if there was offline use available. This feature should be standard, if you’re looking for a knot while camping etc in remote areas then you’re out of luck.

### 4/5 — Amazing

*2022-09-21, version 1.1*

This app is amazing

### 1/5 — Content is great but offline (camping) useless

*2022-08-26*

If I paid for the app, I wanted to use it out where I have no signal. Remove the internet check when I am a paying customer. Will change rating to 5 stars then. Until then, I regret purchase.

### 3/5 — Useful  knots

*2021-10-17, version 1.1*

This app is good but the only thing that puts me off is that the reef knot is wrong in scouts we do left end over right end then right over left with one rope.😤

### 4/5 — Advertising

*2021-03-04, version 1.1*

App is great for knot instruction, however I paid the nominal fee to stop receiving adds and I am still getting them.  What is more disturbing is that some adds are of an adult content which is not really good when teaching kids to tie knots.
What is the £0.99 purchase fee for if it’s not to stop receiving ads?

### 1/5 — Why did it charge me?

*2020-07-29*

I clicked download and this app immediately tried extracting $1.00 from my bank account! Don’t trust it!

### 3/5 — Great app

*2019-12-05*

This is a great app if you have a add blocker it has a lot of adds

### 1/5 — Purchased the no advertisements option and still get advertisements.

*2019-11-22*

Pretty shady practice to charge for no advertisements and then continue to still run advertisements after I purchased that option.
