I really like this app. I also love that the translations actually mention the name of the knot as we know it instead of just a translation of the english name. It could be improved by mentioning if each knot is constricting like other apps do. Which knots I could use in rain or after putting lots of strain on it if I want to undo it at some point.

Truly fantastic. This is a very user friendly app and powerful tool to anyone. I've learned many knots over the years but they're easy to forget if you're not always using them, this is amazing for learning new knots or refreshing my memory on how to tie knots I already know. The animation to show you how is great and the option to change the speed makes all the difference. This saves so much time from watching videos or having others show you. This is the best way to learn at my own pace.

Love this app. I would love to see some additional festures. Such as, slider allowing user to scrub throigh entire example and stop where desired. This avoids having to watch the whole knot everytime you lose a step. The ability to rotate is amazing but id love to see a dynamic rotation slider for x and y axis instead of just the two positions for each. Sone additional info on how to use the knots would be an amazong add. A video accompanying each knot with real world instructions and use.

Thanks for the feedback. You can scrub through the animation already by running your finger back and forth over the knot image itself -- an "invisible slider" if you will. Drag your finger right to advance the animation and drag left to reverse. Thanks for the other suggestions. Happy new year!
