8 of 25This app has numerous high quality step by step photos that are super easy to follow. Highly recommended!
An excellent app. Worth the money. The iPad HD version makes a big difference in screen navigation.
Simple, straight forward with lots of content. Very happy with the quality of this app.
Great explanations and graphics. I love having this at my fingers. Best of the knot apps I've considered!
UPDATE JUNE 14, 2017 I received eMail from the developers informing me that they were working on a 64-bit version. No info as to a completion date. UPDATE JUNE 7, 2017 Needs update to 64-bit or it will no longer execute on any iOS device running iOS 11. ============== Overall a very good reference app for knots and I've only used it a few minutes to look up the knots that gave me trouble when I was a scout. I take a way 1 star because of the way the interface handles an orientation switch--when moving from horizontal to vertical or vice versa whatever knot you are looking at disappears and you are back at the main menu with the 'Categories' tab selected and no knots selected. It would be better if the app would lock orientation as the iPhone version does rather than return to the main menu on an iPad orientation switch. It is particularly frustrating when perusing knots by name. I know I could use the mechanical lock orientation switch on the iPad but I shouldn't have to. The app should be intelligent enough to keep the knot I am viewing when switching orientation. Two UI changes I would like to see are 1) keep the currently selected knot highlighted in the left hand column as one scans through the panels; and 2) use some of the large amount of wasted real estate to show a thumbnail of the finished knot as it is shown in the last panel. When I am perusing knots I may know what I want based upon its function and appearance but not (no pun intended) know its name. Having a thumbnail shown would speed up the search.
I am a new scoutmaster . This has helped a lot! Wished I could email examples to troop boys in advance.
Looked at a couple other apps. They weren't even close. Have been letting my children use and they have very well thanks to this app. Glad I bought it. I do recommend app if you are wanting to learn how to tie knots.
When in landscape and rotating to portrait, the knot you were on goes away and you have to start all over. Please update!
