Animated Knots by Grog App Reviews

I use this app on a regular basis. Mostly for fishing and around my property. I also find it entertaining just to see what kind of knots are available. This app has been and is very useful. Thanks!

An essential and infinitely practical compendium of easy to find and follow knots.

This is an amazing app with detailed animations and great background information on each knot’s history and uses. It also directly references the great book of Ashley’s knots so you know it’s legitimate!

I strongly recommend this app for anyone that works with rope or has any reason to tie any kind of knot you can imagine. This app makes it very simple.

Has everything you need for boating, climbing, etc.

A great deal of improvements have been made to this app it’s greatly appreciated. Separating the knots into categories is a great helpful

Easy to follow animations and directions. Great added history, uses, and notes on each knot.

The illustrated, step-by-step instructions are outstanding!! I like the inverse view option as well. The information section for each knot is informative and well-researched. Really great job. I also really like how the knot categories and sections and arranged. The whole app is intuitive, easy to use and informative. Thank You, Grog Knots!

I can finally tie the write fishing knots and now I don’t lose my hook thank you frog knots.

I always come back to this when I need to refresh or learn a new knot

I recommend this app to all of my fellow sailors. Greenhorns and seasoned. Super helpful. Just wish there were some updates like splicing six strand wire rope!! 🤞

This app is user friendly and has a nice, simple interface that makes it easy to search for the knot I need. It includes an extensive list of knots with animations that make each easy to understand. This is great for any age (children and adults), and any ability.

Awesome app! Every year I refer it at least a handful of times to students.

Only complaint is that it sometimes needs to be down loaded again

If you are into tying knots and decorative rope work, this is the app for you. All the knots a beautifully demonstrated. Take your time and be patient, you will get it. The app is a great place to start your rope work. It makes what appears to be complicated manageable. I love it! Thanks Grog.

I can’t believe I’m saying it, but this app is better than a book or any video you can buy!

Excellent app, hasn’t been updated since 2019, probably should it can take advantage of latest iOS features

I've used this app for many years it is fantastic.

Every knot for any situation and then some. Very accurately categorized and precisely presented. This app is handier than my leatherman.

My go to for knots. The slideshows for directions are very easy to follow. A life saver when I needed to learn how to tie a bow tie for a wedding.

I use it all the time. Very helpful.

I’ve been using this app for years. The animations are professionally done and on point. But the info section on the knot or the hitch’s history, recent tests, use with Spectra or Dynema rope and so much more makes this app, truly the modern equivalent of Clifford Ashley’s Book of Knots.

I’ve used Grog’s website for years and just realized that he has an app. Happy to finally support him because he’s been an amazing resource for me to learn all types of climbing knots. From useful everyday ones to obscure knots that still have a place in the toolbox. Even neckties? Thanks Grog!!

The only thing missing from the app is animation speed, other than that, as a web and app developer, it’s a great mobile version of the website! I primarily bought this to support the website. If you also use the website, please buy the app to show your appreciation! Thanks for the great website and app! And huge shoutout to Ashley and ABOK.

Simple, intuitive, and extremely useful app. I reference it anytime I am teaching knots or learning new ones. Organized very simply and easy to find new knots (many I had never learned/heard of) for specific activities. The “info” section on each knot is a GREAT resource too.

Make the knots searchable by name! Otherwise, this is basically the perfect app.

I think the app could be improved with the addition of a soft shackle calculator. This would allow you to put in final dimensions of what you are trying to accomplish and would return specs on how much line to use etc. Love the App Thanks S.V. Blizzard

Organized by activity or occupation, this app hosts a handy and extensive list of knots you’ll find useful. I also appreciate the fact the authors don’t ask for a continuing subscription.

I started carrying this app and some line everywhere I went in the city so I could practice for my weekend outings. Works well as long as you have line to follow along.

Love this app but where is the double uni

Been using it for years because it is my go to app for learning knots.

Great knot app!! All the knots you’ll ever need with great instructional video!!

Has a wide variety of knots. Both fun and very useful. Used most of these knots and none have failed for me. This app shows how to make the knots thoroughly. Best app ever for knots. Never seen better knots

Made my life much easier to have this on hand

Great quality at reasonable cost. Lots of knots. Functionality (steps through steps, swap L-R, and easy visuals) are all excellent. Also like once you purchase there are no more up sells.

This app is great for teaching knots. I have used it at work as an Arborist, and in Scouting as a training tool

Very easy to use and quick reference

Love the app! Would be great to see more webbing examples for canyoneering. Ex) tie webbing around a tree or extendable webbing.

This is an essential app for the outdoorsman. I’ve had it for years and used many times.

I bought this app on Android years ago. I loved it so much I bought it again on iOS just now. A truly indispensable guide to all things rope related!

Best app ever, a must to refer to for everyday life🙂

i come back to this over and over. i use it in my spare time to learn new knots and, again, to refresh those that i’ve forgotten. fantastic.

The best knots app. I love the Scout Knots section

Easy to follow and very useful!
