REVIEWS FOR VERSION 2.0
--------------------
The Coolest Ever! -
Easy to understand and use, very informative with clear instructions on how to makes hundreds of knots step by step, divided by categories for easy navigation, truly inspiring and beautiful knots. Enjoyable to just watch, practical and relevant to learn. This is the second App enticing enough for me to actually buy.

New to knots -
This is my first review. I would pay twice the amount for this app. I would give it ten stars if I could. It can be done step by step unlike others I've seem that you have replay a dozen times to get the same results. Thank you for you time and effort.

Worth it -
The ablility to flip between left and right handed tying and the addition of more knots are just what this app needed. Updates and real life application are what make it worth the money.

Best.App.Ever -
I'm a US Coast Guard Veteran (Boatswains Mate). I just joined the Sailing club and this a great refresher and smart way to learn new knots. Clear and to the point. The animations are great, and the pause feature is invaluable. I also like that it's broken down in categories so I can just focus on the sailing ones first.

Customer Reviews

Great application (5 stars)
Excellent tool for any fisherman, camper, and others. I recently needed to attach mono to braid and the knots for tying dissimilar line were excellent. Also tying flurocarbon to mono worked very well. Great selection of knots with descriptions of what the knot can be used for. I found this application by going to the Grog site on the internet. Having the same knots on my iPhone is really nice.

Great App (5 stars)
I use this app for training at work (rescue) and my boys love this app in boy scouts. Easy to follow and very detailed . Of all the knot books and sites, this is n the best.

Fantastic!! (5 stars)
Any way you can include a wire rope section?
