About this app

Knots Guide is a quick, easy-to-use reference for tying knots – for sailing, climbing, fishing, camping and everyday jobs around the house.

What's inside
• 92 knots in 10 categories: Bend, Binding, Climbing, Decorative, Fishing, Hitch, Looping, Running, Stopper and Whipping
• Photos and step-by-step pictures for most knots
• Written tying instructions, many as numbered steps
• Key facts at a glance: other names, typical use, whether it jams, related knots and cautions
• Tap a photo to see it full screen, then pinch or double-tap to zoom
• Works offline: everything is stored on your phone

The pictures come from Wikimedia Commons photographers and U.S. Army manuals, and each one is credited in the app.

Safety note: knots used for climbing, rescue or lifting can fail if they are tied or used wrongly. Learn them from a qualified instructor before you trust your safety to a knot.

Knots Guide is free and shows a small banner ad.

Ratings and reviews

Just showing a picture and then attaching written instructions is not for everybody. Some of the instructions are confusing and are hard for some to understand to complete the knot. I spend time in the Navy and learned on how to complete all those knots, and I had a hard time understanding the instructions.

Useful and easy. Explains what the knots are used for, how to do them in simple instructions. Images also are useful.

Many knots miss good illustrations. One should have very good spatial thinking to understand how to tie a knot just by following textual guidelines.
