Customer Reviews
Outstanding for Knot training & review!!!
I'm a Eagle Scout, Scout leader, boater & sailing instructor. I use this for my own review along with teaching others. The easy to follow guides are easier to follow than a lot of my written materials and visual aids!
I only wish there was a was to print out a few diagrams to use them in places (over water) where I don't want to bring my iPhone.
Best knot app!
Best knot out there. Up to date and the ability to add favorites is a great option so you reference a knot quickly.
Great knots
