1. Any app that constantly badgers me to rate it automatically gets downgraded at least one star.Most intelligently designed knot app I found - & I've bought & examined all I can find! Rather than just throwing the knots at you in catagories that are utterly random & contain the same bloody knots repeated again & again to try & make you believe the app has far more knots than it truly does, this app starts by showing it has 69 total knots.
2. I highly recommend, especially if you are new to the sailing and boating world!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.
3. 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").
4. It then lists the categories & how many knots are in each, so you can pick by category or from the main list of every knot.
5. I'm using basic sailing knots and plenty to choose from in the free version.
6. Over all this app is fantastic but I haven't gone in deapth with it though so still a lot to find out.I once knew how to tie several basic usable knots.
7. If not for this I would have given 3 starsI have always wanted to learn more knots and this app is great.
8. There are dozens of other apps.Very nice animations with accompanying descriptions.
9. Well animated so you won't mess up...Seems great right?But.. The explanations compared to other apps are terrible.
10. Best is the 3D tying of each!I Learned knots and understanding the uses.
11. 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.
