OK
This is an iPhone adaption of an out-of-copyright book. It's visually appealing with its "antique" feel. However, if you're looking for step-by-step knot instructions, you might be better served with some of the other options in this category.
I'm also not too happy that the developer charges extra for the iPad version.
