Very well-designed app. The selection of knots is amazing. The descriptions on a knot's uses; and the graphics, colors and animations make it super clear on how tie just about every knot you could need.

Good to use as refresher and learn knots. You can adjust speed for learning.
★★★★★Karlton Merritt· Jan 15, 2026
Great assortment of knots. A knot for every situation as well as illustrations demonstrating how to tie them. Important information about what each knot is used for is given as well as comparisons of different knots. A must-have for anyone who deals with knots. Additionally, excellent for everyone else as well.

This used to be a great app, but now it's been infected by gen Slop "A.I.", which is actually just "Atrophied Intelligence", "Actually Idiotic", "Artificial Idiocy", "Advanced Incompetence". Take your pick; It's all brain-rot.
★★☆☆☆P A· Dec 30, 2025
Frustrating app. Displays magic growing rope with 1 end and not how a knot is tied in the real world. Knot names / list are meaningless. What is needed is list of real uses and knots to accomplish that. Eg: Search for "tie shoes" shows 0. I don't care what the knot is called or what category it might be in. App doesn't teach real world problem-solving.
★☆☆☆☆Robert Meegan· Apr 28, 2026
This was a 5-star, must-have app that's been ruined by the stupid addition of an LLM that inflates the size while providing no value at all. A simple list of suggested knots would do everything that the LLM is supposed to do without the need to figure out how to frame the question. If there's anyone so hopeless that they can't find a knot with a decent table of contents, they're probably going to screw up tying the knot anyway.
