About this app

Knot Guide teaches you to tie over 200 knots with clear, step-by-step photos. Trusted by sailors, climbers, anglers, Scouts, and outdoor enthusiasts since 2008, it's been rebuilt from the ground up to be faster, smoother, and easier to use.

• Large, clear photos of every step — swipe or tap to move through them
• A description of each knot: what it's for, how it behaves, and its ABOK reference
• Save your go-to knots to Favorites for quick access

SPEAK THE LANGUAGE OF ROPE

Ratings and reviews

Ads are a pain. There is no way to exit the app with out shutting thru the operating system.

There are 2 knots that didn't download at all. There are many repeated knots but in saying that - some people only know one of the names, not all of them which is ok 😁

Very well laid out and very easy to understand. A great instructional for knot tieing. Unfortunately not as many knots as advertised, many are repeated in other categories and same knot with different names are listed separately. Probably just to get the advertisement at the end of each knot instruction.
