2024-07-10 | BRS | Good knot tying info, but too many annoying animated ads. The endless "Rate this app" at the end of each knot is also quite annoying. One star deduction for each of those. | |
2024-04-28 | Adam Merchlewitz | Knots could be organized by type -- although the option to scroll and view all listed lessons without having to recall its type is kinda nice. Animation is pretty helpful too. | |
2023-01-26 | Kayley Abell-Hart | Pros: *Free app *Clear, attractive animations *Some Ashley reference numbers listed *Favorites page Cons: *Poor navigability *Annoying ad placement/timing *The square knot is listed as a bend, for purpose which it should *never* be used. This is a dangerous mistake. If not for this I would have given 3 stars | |
2022-12-17 | Kimberley Fortino | I absolutely love this app. I live on a sailboat I'm a new sailor and I have to learn all these new knots. I have several knot books on board but sometimes it's really cool to see it in real time and little tricks of people have. You're amazing I hope all your dreams come true | |
2022-10-13 | RevTab Treas | Clear instruction that pauses automatically so you can follow along. I have referred to this app many times for a quick refresher when I want to use a knot that I haven't practiced lately. Thank you for providing this material for us to use. | |
2022-07-20 | Rodney Smith | I have tried finding a good free app with a good list of usable knots for quite some time now. Well, here it is finally. I really can find no faults with this one. Clear, concise and easy to use. If you need more than this one has to offer you're not going to find it I think. | |
2022-06-30 | MadGearHead and The Boo | Lots of knots. Well animated so you won't mess up...Seems great right?But.. The explanations compared to other apps are terrible. You basically have to choose the knot before you even know what it is best used for, and then the explanation is very minimal and incomplete and even sort of hidden. Disappointing, for me, as it is. Ads are annoying but i would put up with them if the other stuff was fixed. There are dozens of other apps. | |
2021-10-16 | Greg Nix | Having all of the different knots on me when I need them has been so useful. I never would have been able to remember each one and what it was use for. I use the different at work and home. At first guys gave me a hard time for using the app. I noticed some of the other guys using the app and I am beginning to remember more and more. Thank you | |
2021-06-28 | E2 | The step by step animations are awesome. Like any skill, learning to tie various knots take a lot of repetition. Practice, Practice, Practice. | |
2021-05-23 | Paul Gates | Very nice animations with accompanying descriptions. More clear than other free apps. Allows you to adjust the speed (but not colors). Would prefer a better search interface, at least including alternative names in the result (for example, it's more popularly called a "square knot" but will only be found by searching for "reef knot"). Really not a fan of the in-your-face Rate This App button. Any app that constantly badgers me to rate it automatically gets downgraded at least one star. |
