I wish there were a way to look up the best knots for a specific use case, like "I need to hang a clothesline" or "I need to lift an object." Maybe an additional category that lists common use cases or tasks and shows the relevant knots. Even adding a way to just search keywords in the descriptions would be helpful. In any case, this is a great app and is handy in a surprising amount of situations.

Absolutely fantastic reference for knots. I have been tying knots my whole life and am still learning new ways to tie some of them. the graphics are incredible, even showing the twisting in the knots thanks to using ropes with realistic multicolor sheathing. Including histories and references to Ashley's work. Well worth the price I paid.

This is a fantastic app. From a practical standpoint it would be awesome if I could quickly search an application hierarchy to select which knot I should use. However, the graphics are great, viewing options (being able to SCRUB, reverse, zoom in, flip directions) and having a little history really makes this app a great value. Thanks (I own a hobby farm with horses)
