Latest reviews of Knots Guide app for iPhone and iPad
il y a-t-il une version en français ? merci
This app is great! It has so many knots. Also, each knot has tons of info in it. It describes the knots history, other names, similar knots, and of course how to do the knot. I would definitely recommend this app to any amateur knot tying person (like myself). Im not sure what an experienced knot tying person would think of it, but I think they would like it. It does have a great variety of knots.
Between the picture of the knot and the advertising you can only see a few lines of instructions on how to actually tie the knot. If you accidentally touch while trying to scroll through the instructions, which is very easy to do because it is so intrusive, it opens it up in an even bigger format.
It would be great to see more of the knots instead they are all named. As well, some of the knots lack the imagery and description on how to make the knot. But one good side is. there are knots in this app I havent yet come across
There are errors.
