User Reviews
Hands down the best knot resource in the WORLD!!! Thanks for your work, Grog!!
I used this to pass coast guard training for my industry. I do however wish there was a way to add / contribute knots we’ve learned though.
Great pocket reference to usable knots
Everything you need to know about knots taught in the simplest way possible.
Great knot making app!
I don't use this much but live it when l do!!
I love the functions of this app.
Great wealth of knowledge, becoming outdated tho. I see so many useful knots on social media but come here and can find 7 variations of the figure 8- but ok - how about adding some other knots, bends, and expand on the hitches?
Simple, intuitive, and extremely useful app. I reference it anytime I am teaching knots or learning new ones. Organized very simply and easy to find new knots (many I had never learned/heard of) for specific activities. The “info” section on each knot is a GREAT resource too and helps narrow down what knots you need or would be better to use for whatever application you need.
I find this to be a terrific app for learning and reviewing knots I need in disaster recovery and tree climbing. It’s on my phone and always with me. I can show it to others, they learn too!
