- Universal Links and a custom URL scheme (knots3d://) so links route directly into a specific page in the app. Tap a knots3d.com website link and it opens right in the app - straight to the selected knot or category. Share a link with a fellow knot-tyer and it opens in their app too, or the website if they don't have the app yet. - Minor bug fixes and improvements.

Improved search algorithm Now you can search by what you want to do - not just by knot name. Try: - tie down a load → Trucker’s Hitch - attach a sleeping bag → Woodland Zip-Tie - join synthetic ropes → Zeppelin Bend We’re still refining search results - if a query doesn’t return what you expect, we’d love your feedback.

Exceptional App
Can't remember when I got it but it's been in my phone for years. I've enjoyed its evolution and awesome graphics while it has been very useful in the most unusual situations where tying the perfect knot saves the day. Good going, guys! And thanks.

Great knot learning tool.
This is my go to app for knots. It has many features including speed up and slow down animations, can spin the knot around and see it from all angles, can cause the to animate forwards and backwards with touchscreen, etc. Nice color contrast if two ropes are involved. High resolution makes for great visual clarity. I highly recommend this app. Oh, and there are so many knots that are available with historical context added as well.

Very useful. Animations speed is customizable. Much easier to learn than from books with static pics. Plus just as many, possibly more, knots. Well worth the price.

Best Interactive App to Learn Knots on the Market!
Phenomenal app that fully covers this niche topic. Don’t waste your time looking for free alternatives—none will compare—just pay the extremely reasonable low cost and purchase this app from great devs who push frequent updates. It’s truly 2nd to none! Killer app devs!! Much gratitude 🤙🏻

Excellent learning guide
Way more knots than I can imagine; but developing my understanding of one adds to another. Very helpful to anyone whether tying down items or setting camp. Much better to use before you need to know the knot.

Always Struggled to Remember Knots! “Knot” Anymore!!
I’m a highly intelligent person and I did sailing for years so when I say I was a mess when it came to knots I hope you understand how out of character that was for me. It didn’t seem I could learn them in any way that could stick with me. I tried and tried until I got THIS APP!!! I’ve climbed with rappelling ropes and done tree trimming, and I literally have whipped this app out while dangling above 50 feet of nothing below me and adjusted my Figure 8 Knot. I even know the NAMES of knots and alternatives because of this app!! I don’t recommend apps lightly, but this is one of the most co

Great app
Love this app and it’s a great tool for learning and it’s my adult fidget spinner or should I say tying knots is A few of the knots have too small of an illustration To make it better I wish we could give feedback on each knot and also suggest new knots . Also wish it wouldn’t have redundant knots like the arbor knot and the Canadian jam knot

I hat a FANTASTIC way of teaching right in the palm of one’s hands! Developer responded to knot suggestions, app is updated and very self-explanatory, and the applications are solid! What a wonderful purchase! Keep up the good work…

Such an underrated app!
I’ve never written a review of an app without the app having to ask for a review first, until today. I have had this app for years, and I remember back when I got it “ok this app looks pretty good, it’ll probably just stay the same like a lot of apps”, but the people behind Knots 3D actually really care about their creation! I frequently see updates that genuinely add to and improve what the app has to offer. They’ve perfected their medium of displaying knot tying methods, and they increase the breadth of knots regularly! Always a go-to app when I need a knot in a pinch. Thank you developers f

Insanely great app
Thank you, thank you thank you. I think this is one of the best apps that I’ve used, seriously and I’m not like a knot guy or anything. It’s insanely clean and smooth during playback. I love how you can flip and rotate the angle to see the 3-D knot in different axes. The ability to loop over and over slowly really helps, especially when stuck and need a different angle to see my mistake. Can’t tell you how many times I’ve used this app to create the right knot at the right time. It’s amazing the amount of detail and the sheer quantity of knots that are included. The history of the individ

Very user friendly
The graphics/animations are nice and clear, can slow down animated instructions if needed. I’d much rather actually purchase a useful, fully functional app for five bucks than download a free one that doesn’t do much but nickel and dime you to death. Works offline. Just a heads up, it does not come with any rope, you have to supply that yourself.

Terrific resource!
One might read “clap” on a hitch or Knot this app actually shows one fluidly how to work through it! Forwards, backwards faster, slower 180° opposite perspective, and knots 3D does this for lots and then some. All neatly organized by category. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

So comprehensive!
This is such a great resource that puts together a thorough collection of knots and allows you to search the database very quickly and easy. But the biggest advantage this collection has over others is the way you can display the knots being tied and then stop, start, slowdown, reverse and continue. Well done and thanks!

Helpful learning tool
I don’t use this app a lot, but I enjoy it when I do. The features, including controllable playback, knot history and usage, and similarities to other knots, are things I find useful and/or interesting. I consider myself a bit of a knot junkie, and this app supports that for me.

I learned a bunch of knots in boy scouts and completely forgot them all as an adult. This app reminds me of some classics and has ones I never knew of. I made a list of my favorites and use this app every six months or so when I need to tie something

One of the best apps I've used
I've been using this for years. I love the ability to make lists of knots. I have favorites, General use, and those queued for learning. I can't think of any improvements to the UI, I've learned so much thanks to how well its executed.

Love the app
So useful in teaching, and remembering how to tie so that I can teach, a bunch of knots. I wish that I could share my custom lists with other people. Would be useful in my scout troop to share with other leaders.

Love it
I’ve had this app for years. Their updates and expansions have been awesome, I love that you can slow down and speed up the video and, really, there’s just nothing like video, as opposed to still images, for learning knots.

knots, who doesn’t need them
Listen. i’ve had this app forever and the upgrades and revisions to it have made it even more useful and practical than ever. The directions are easy to follow and since the creators do such a fantastic job maintaining it, I would not hesitate if this is something you’re interested in. Love this skill.

Excellent Reference
It is all you need! The only addition that I can suggest is a recommendation for practicing these knots at home in your easy chair plus a suggestion for cord or line that is big enough to easily see and manipulate and smooth enough that your trial knots are easy to tighten. Maybe even a knot tying kit including an anchor point to start tying your knot? Would make a great teaching tool.

Great App!
I’ve been using this app for years. Anytime I need to remember a knot I can pull this out and get it in about 5 seconds. Likewise if I’m doing something new and need to find a knot, there is always something new to learn.

Amazing app but I want a wider variety of knots
you have so many amazing knots for categories like fishing, arborist, climbing, etc but i'm wanting to see more in the decorative category. stuff like knots that are used in paracord jewelry such as the cobra knot, fish braid, etc

Essential
Kinda need this app for work, please don’t make it a subscription based thing. Bought it once and can learn any knot I need to. Riggers and carpenters are always blown away to see I know how to do any of the knots I’ve learned.

Great App
I used the app mostly for fishing knots. I especially like the 3D videos that show you exactly how to tie each knot. Many of the knots I have used before but sometimes don’t remember the details. The app is easy to use and very handy when out on the boat giving you access anywhere and time you need to reference a particular knot.

File under: never knew you needed
A+ for the selection and the way the visualization can be manipulated, seeing it from all sides and slowing it down or scrubbing back and forth. Knots have many a names so there's times where I'll have to search the internet for its other names before I find it in the app, but they are definitely all in the app. It helps me to familiarize myself with photos or videos of the knots in the real world on the web but then it's indispensable having the app in the field as a resource to "remind" myself how the knot is tied. But learning is a worthy endeavor and you won't believe how often you can use

The most used app on my phone
I’ve used this app consistently for the past two years and have nothing but good things to say about it. I recommend this app to anyone and everyone.

Scouting
I have had this app for many years. I’ve used it and organized knots into categories for a quick reference. As the old thing goes, “If you don’t use it, you’ll lose it.” It’s been a great tool with scouts. I pull this app out to show the 3D visual to help solidify their not skills. I like that you can control the speed of the demonstration. And also, you can turn the nut to look at it from all angles.
