Essential Apps

Knot Guide HD (100+ knots)

by Winkpass Creations, Inc.

Knot Guide HD is the essential knot app for the iPad. This app not only looks beautiful, but also contains fantastic information. There is a seemingly endless collection of knots included. For each knot a very detailed description of what the knot is used for and in-depth images show you how to create the knot. This is our favorite knot app for the iPad.

Notable Apps

$0.99
Knots, Splices and Rope Work

by Liam Campbell

This $0.99 app takes a classic treatise by Hyatt Verrill and turns it into an ebook type app. The content is fantastic and the app is great too. You’ll learn all you need to know about knots, splices, and rope work in this app. A great complementary app to one of the essentials.

Knots, Splices and Rope Work HD

by Archibald Industries

Those with iPads can enjoy the HD version of the app by the same name. The content is the same, the interface is redesigned for the iPad and it works really well in this larger form. A great complement to the iPad essential app.

Decent Apps

Knots Guide for iPad

by SusaSoftX

Knots Guide for iPad is very similar to the essential app Knot Guide. It is created by a different developer and it shows. This app does not have the high polish that the other one has. The images in many cases are fuzzy and not clear. The positive of this app is that it is free. The information and images make this app hardly worthwhile though it is free.
$0.99
Easy Knots HD

by G.P. Imports, Inc.

Easy Knots HD is an underwhelming app. It includes 10 tie knots and 34 rope knots. More will be coming soon, but right now the content is simply not there. The images are okay, but the ones found in the essential apps are much better. This is just an okay knot app for the iPad.
