Description

Tie, untie and rotate knots with your finger in 3D!

Knots 3D, our popular how-to knot app, will give you a whole new perspective on knots! Have you ever wondered what a knot looks like rotated 40 or maybe 90? Or maybe you want to see what a Trilene knot or Constrictor knot looks like from the back? Use your finger to spin the knot and see how it looks from any angle in 3D!

Choose from 66 knots and see how they're tied in incredible detail. Watch the knot draw itself or use your finger to tie and untie the knot. Its easy to see where the virtual rope goes in and out and around. (Something about a rabbit and a hole and a tree right? ) Zoom in on the knot to get a closer look or flip it around for another perspective. Can your old school knot app do that?!

Product Features and Functions
- Compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch (Universal App)
- Learn to tie 66 different knots
- Browse knots by category or classification
- Watch knots tie themselves and pause or adjust the speed of the animation at any time
- Rotate knots 360 degrees to view them from any angle
- Zoom in on a knot to see it in greater detail
- Interact with the knot on screen via mult-touch gestures such as pinch-to-zoom and swipe to tie/untie.

Each 3D knot has detailed reference information including tying pointers, strength and reliability, structural info, and Ashley reference numbers (ABoK) and occasionally the history behind the knot.

The knots are arranged by both Category (Boating, Climbing, Fishing, Scouting, etc) and Class (Bend, Loop, Stopper, etc). If you find a knot you like or want to come back to later, add it to your Favorites list for quick reference.

KNOTS 3D REVIEWS
----------------------
Very Useful -
Great guide for knot how to's. 3D ability puts it to the top compared to others. Nice job dev's.

Nicely Done -
This app is really nicely done. I actually don't have much need to learn or use knots, but I am so impressed with the presentation in this app that it motivates me to want to learn them, just so I can use it. Good job!

Great App -
I really like this app, I have 4 knot apps, and I use this one the most. As a firefighter rope skills is a must and this app helps keep me knot prepared. The zoom and step through the knot using a finger gestures is real handy. The author updates this app with new knots often. I recommend this app.

----------------------

Please contact us on our support site with requests for new knots and we will see what we can do to get them added to the app. Have fun learning knots in a whole new way!

Customer Reviews

Not real comprehensive but will do (3 stars)
Don't know what it takes to get developers for iDevices to learn that they can be used in multiple orientations.

Great app!!! (5 stars)
Considering it is free you can't go wrong.
