Animated Knots by Grog App Reviews

Great job! Very clear and thorough. Enjoy!

Good app. Very useful for me.

This app is really cool and easy to use. It gives you a picture by picture, step by step directions on how do it. At first the pictures come quickly so that you can watch the knot evolve. Then you can go at your own pace, frame by frame with the written directions under the picture. There are different categories with many knots in each. Its amazing what you can do with a piece of rope. Great for kids on the way to the lake and gives them something to do when you get there. Well worth the price of admission. The creators of this app really did their homework.

Needs more description in the actual nots to be a full version app

This app is very helpful and descriptive.

This app is great!

I sorta regret buying it...cmon its 4.99. Im embarrasses to tell my mom that I spent 5.00 on an app about knots. Its great, but not 4.99 great. More like 1.99. Wish I hadnt wasted my money. 

This is a good app, but expensive. You are better off getting the Columbia app (free) and the KnotGuide app (1.99) which have more knots (especially KnotGuide) and are just as easy to follow. I will give it to this app for having more explanation about each knot than those other two.

Would have given the app a five but 2 things are wrong. 1. I found that the tying of the not was too quick to watch and should have moved slower. 2nd, there is no description as to what the knot is used for or why, and this would have been nice information to know. Especially when trying to choose a knot. Otherwise a very nice application

Ability to visually follow clear, distraction-free, and sequenced photos of the knots being tied as well as synchronized textual descriptions is a real help. I like the fact you can replay the photo sequences at your own pace. This app also provides very useful background information each knot, including how/why it is used, advantages/disadvantages. Extensive list of knots that may be categorized by use, makes finding suitable knot a breeze. $5 may sound a little steep, but I think that this app is worth it. Ive got a few knot-tying instructional books on my shelves now that are simply gathering dust!

Could always be better

Excellent app. Would have been 5 stars if there had been more knots tho. Covers all the basics very well.

Wheres the "sledge knot"? Dont stop the updates.

For the price its not worth it. It definitely tells you how to tie the knots but doesnt give any background to the knots or what they are used for. If it was updated with this info it would be excellent.

I cant believe anyone would complain about paying $5 for all the work that went into this great app. Not only does it teach you in an incredibly clear way how to tie tons of useful knots, but also outlines their uses and pitfalls. This app and a piece of rope is a great evenings entertainment. Worth every penny and more!

Got the knot I needed initially through their website and it is very well explained. I decided it is worth to have them all on me at all times. It would be nice if knot description and usage got added on an future update

Its a great app, I noticed you had headlashings for shears, could you also put some up for Gyn?

The variety of knots and clarity of instruction are the best Ive found yet in many apps. The ONLY knit app you need.

Ive been doing sailing for a about two years and wanted to learn more about knots especially when to use each knot. This app has all info available offline so you can practice while sailing or any time it is convenient for you.

This is a wonderful app that is very well researched, written and illustrated. While I use the desktop app more often; the mobile app has come in handy when I forget how to tie that bend I just learned. If you are reading reviews of older versions; please take into account that many of the issues have been resolved (such as more info on uses/cautions). The price might dissuade some, but for a quality app from a small developer I feel it is totally justified; not to mention that the app actually teaches you something that you keep forever (not just another bird game ;).
