Knots have been removed

Where did all the knots go. I had all the knots when I purchased this application. Now they disappeared and the knots have to be repurchased. That’s so unfair and downright wrong. Sad decision and company.

$32 per year to avoid the obnoxious “be a patron” lock is way too much. deleted.

deleted. not worth $32 per year

People who bought the full version lose access to a lot of content.
     
by Pixellating · May 15, 2024

Developer forced all old users to subscription model for content they already paid for. The fair thing would be that new users pay for a subscription. There are better apps for knots than this one. I do not recommend.

Great when free - (k)not worth paying for.
     
by Natem425 · October 21, 2025

I really liked the app when it was 100% free. I understand the developers want to make money and/or cover their costs. However, the subscription model just doesn’t make sense for this type of app - it’s not a use every day kind of app. There are plenty of other places to look up knots for free. There’s about to be one less app on my phone.

Strange pricing model
     
by Pablopilot · June 1, 2023

What’s the sense of subscribing to something that doesn’t update or change much or often? Other than providing a steady income stream to the developer, a one-time fixed price would make much more sense. It’s more a book than a magazine…

Business model
     
by Kirkd2 · September 25, 2025

Did you move ‘free’ knots to the ‘paid’ knots section?

Paywall screen gets stuck
     
by hepisbeth · November 20, 2021

Go to the subscription page and look at the cost. No obvious way to close the screen and return to the knots. If they are going to move to a pay model I’d rather pay for each unlocked knot.

Knot anymore
     
by gmriii · February 17, 2023

Have had and used this app for a few years. Love the app and have recommended it to my friends. Now I have to pay! Sorry knot anymore. Will be deleting from my phone. 🤬
