Delightful reference

It’s surprising, even if you’re retired, how many times you are asked to lift heavy things, tie stuff down, control the beast, whatever. I am a theater guy who has done some sailing and I thought I knew a lot about rope. What a fool I was. I’ve used this app for a couple of years now and it never fails to amaze me how someone in the dim and foggy past had a rope and a problem and solved it simply and elegantly. Some of the knots are so elegant that it’s apparent that many people contributed. Crowd sourcing from the age of sail! Who knew? Apparently these guys knew, gathered a splendid collection and threw it into an app. Those of you who actually do stuff and aren’t just looking for fun (that works too) will appreciate the sorting by useful category, the ability to step through the animation, the use of favorites for those knots you haven’t quite learned yet or only use occasionally. Power users will know the joy of deleting a knot from the favorites list because they’ve used it so much they’ve learned it. I HATE single use apps that clutter up my phone, but this one easily makes the cut. If you’re someone out there actually doing things, camping, sailing, helping friends get it done, and only go to your screen for reference, get this app. Oh, and buy some rope…

Incredibly helpful

This app is perfect to have at your fingertips when you’re doing any kind of manual work or play. I’ve learned a ton of knots with this app and it’s easy to pause or step through the animation to fully understand a knot, or to flip to a mirror image of a knot if your instinct is to go left rather than right. The categories are helpful, the info about each knot is indispensable, and it’s easy to add knots to your favorites section for quick reference. I got this so long ago I can’t remember if I paid for it, but if I did, it was worth every penny.

As a bonus: tying my halter top bathing suits with alpine butterflies and sewing the ends down to the back has saved me hundreds of neckaches!

The Best Knot App Period!!!

I’ve had this app for a number of years. This app deserves to be reviewed.

I have been boating for over 20 years. The increase in skill, knowledge, and massive improvement in my knot tying cannot be understated. Now I know the boat is more secure and allows me to utilize the correct knot for the application.

I also camp quite a bit and fish offshore. Again, the amount of help this app has lent me is practically invaluable.

You will learn from easy to follow graphics as you practice knots in real time via slides. Additionally, the back ground information regarding a specific knot is absolutely amazing. You will know the pros and cons of various knots. i.e. various knot capabilities regarding speed, strength, water securing abilities, etc. You will even learn a little history on the knot if you want to nerd out.

This app has always worked great for me. I hope the developers continue to keep this up to date and working as great as it has for me the last few years.

Thanks Grog Knots!
