Note1: Ad Supported!
Note2: A knot is a method for fastening or securing linear material such as rope by tying or interweaving. Due to England's strong naval tradition, the English language has a large technical vocabulary for describing knots.
The fact of the matter is that, without sight, a lot of the drawn/animated knot guides aren't accessible. This app had instructions and descriptions. I wish it was updated for the latest iOS.
Would be better if you could zoom into the photo for a closer look at the detail of the knot
If you really wish to learn how to tie knots, hitches & bends then choose a different app. This app does not use step by step pictures with explanations (rarely anyway.) I suppose if your goal is to just remind yourself of what a particular knot looks like, then this app would have a bit more value. 1 star.
It does need step by step, or more steps to make some of the knots, but then it challenges my kids to figure out how to make them. Not easy, but educational!!!! Free? Thanks
If you want an authoritative guide to knots especially how to tie knots ... this book has no teal practical value for you. A huge disappointment and a waste of my own good money.
When you have an Internet connection, the bottom knot in each category, and the ENTIRE bottom category, are not selectable due to ads being in the way.
