knots 3d

$0.99. nope, sorry, lost my business if you don't include a free trial.
I value my morning $1 black coffee too much to risk it on an app ;)

Columbia's free "What Knot to do in the Greater Outdoors" app is also another great one.

It is a free app

"It is a free app"

Not according to iTunes. I just went in and searched for the app. It's 99 cents.

Looks interesting though, and is highly regarded by a number of people, so I went ahead and bought it.

Ok. I don't know about I tunes. Google play store for my galaxy phone has it free..sorry

Sorry bpl. Looking at the app..it is 99 cents. I got it a year or 2 ago and it was free. Sorry for false advertising. It is well worth the dollar though.

Will it work without a network (i.e. cellphone) connection?

It may seem obvious; but I've downloaded some knot apps in the past that simply would not work in the wilderness without a cellphone connection. Makes them kinda pointless to me.

Perhaps the best time to finally learn how to tie that bowline knot isn't when out in the backcountry without cell service?

I have to agree. You should learn these knots before you actually need them out in wilderness with no cell phone coverage. On that note, I get it that it is nice to have a pocket reference in case you come upon a situation where a knot is needed that you may not be sure how to properly tie it. Honestly, I'm not sure if the app needs service. I am going on a trip tomorrow thru Saturday and where I am heading there is no cell coverage, so I will try the app and see if it works and I will let you know.

I like that one, too! I don't use it in the woods, but I'll use it at home to brush up when I'm bored or just before a trip.

Yes, it works without a cell connection.

I was looking for a knot tying app but decided that I prefer to go to YouTube on my smartphone and then search for a video(s) which explains and demonstrates the specific knot.

It's easier for me to understand watching someone doing it.

Doug: Thanks for the info about the cell connection.

And to the haters; yes I do already know the bowline and other frequently used knots. But more obscure knots are sometimes also useful. HYOH.
