Frustrating to navigate the app. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Scam *2023-09-10* If you pay for the no ads it still gives you ads every time you open the app ### 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. ### 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! ### 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. ### 1/5 — Do not pay to remove ads *2019-08-02* Do not pay to remove ads. It doesn’t work you still get the pop up with you open the app. This is the worst of knot programs that I’ve seen. ### 1/5 — Ads and website redirects every knot step *2019-05-15* If you want to learn knots, don’t get this app. The content is great but the sponsors have ruined this ap. A 3 step bowline knot takes three commercials. A serious waste of time if you need a knot in a hurry. ### 1/5 — Paid and still get ads *2019-02-27* I paid for this app and have a receipt for proof yet I still get ads. I tried the support feature but says I have an invalid email... I need quick and fluent access to this app as I do high ropes work and would like to access this app quick if I ever have an emergency. Please fix. Thank you. *Update* Never heard back from anyone and still dealing with Ads that don’t let you skip. ### 1/5 — If not for the ads... *2018-11-08* I would have rated it much higher. But being forced to wade through buy-me after buy-me before even getting to the knots is unacceptable. ### 1/5 — Ad you to death *2018-10-21* Seems like a decent app but the ads are too irritating to use it ### 1/5 — Behaves like malware *2018-08-03* I installed this program on a phone with wifi access only. This turned out to be a good thing. First of all this program will not work offline but i did know that it did ads. Second, when connected and launching, i get a gently bouncing window (so i know it is *not* iOS,) that says i have new software to install and takes me to the Apple store app to a program link. There appears to be no way to bypass this install window, and the behavior is abusive and looks to be malware on the surface. Deleting.. ## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Not sure why the low ratings *2024-11-06* This app is great. Good visuals, easy to understand and follow along. Recommended. ### 5/5 — Works without a hitch. *2019-02-23, version 1.1* This app does have a lot of ads but hey it’s not hard to pay $1.49 and have easy access to clear diagrams and instructions. There’s more than enough knots listed here for my needs. It would be great if the app could be used when offline. ### 5/5 — Simple app with great animations! *2018-05-02* Great app and great animations...plus iPhone X support, favorites, searching and a quick little bio on each knot! Free so you can’t complain about the ads cause you can just pay to remove them. ### 4/5 — Amazing *2022-09-21, version 1.1* This app is amazing ### 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? ### 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.😤 ### 3/5 — Great app *2019-12-05* This is a great app if you have a add blocker it has a lot of adds ### 3/5 — If you don’t like ads You still need buy upgrade *2018-07-04, version 1.1* It’s free but every time you start watch knot you have add. You need to buy upgrade to get add free. Not all instructions it’s not same quality and clarity. ### 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. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
