Customer Reviews
Who would have thought of knots, yet--?
Great app. Easily followed, simple illustrations. Super reference. Essential, though I'm surprised to say so. Very cool!
Bought it just in time
I bought this app yesterday. I know there are plenty of sites on the web that show how to make knots, but, there's something really convenient about how this app lays it all out. So, just today, I had to tie a mattress onto the roof of my car and this app had me all prepared to tie it down securely. Previously, I knew one knot and I used it on my shoes. This time, I had it tied down so tightly, it was hard to undo. The app warned me that it would be hard to undo.
Anyway, it's worth the money, for me. Adding some additional knots would be appreciated, but, as it stands now, I love it anyway.
Great AP!
Best of it's kind!
