Sailing World Knots and Splices

This is easily the best app Ive used to learn knottying It uses not only animations and animated stepbystep instructions but also videos of someone tying each knot narrating the process as he goes The videos are the most useful part because they show you how to hold the rope as youre tying a knot Before I found this app some of the knots I tried eg the alpine butterfly knot fell apart because I couldnt control the rope But when I viewed the video and saw how each knot was handled I learned how to tie itand tie it quickly The videos are stored online and can be downloaded all at once or one at a time to save space on your iPad I only wish that the app offered more of them The current version has only 25 knots and splices 19 knots and six splices But thats just a wish not a shortcoming If this were strictly a reference app I would expect a lot more knots Given the educational emphasis however I think 25 knots and splices is an entirely appropriate number This is surely an essential teaching app for beginners and maybe intermediate learners Well worth the price                 The best Ive seen

For the first time in 50 years of sailing I feel confident in being able to splice after watching this app Well done                 Splicing made easy

this app takes forever to download on my pc it will not download on my ipad do not buy this app a waste of money     sailing world knots and splices

I had no idea how huge this app was until I started downloading over wifi and was still waiting a half hour later It is 285MB for only 25 knots 19 knots 6 splices And that is without downloading the additional 15GB of video The first animation I tried Alpine Butterfly crashed the app the first time I tried it although it seemed to work after that The controls are unresponsive and sometimes take 2 or 3 taps to get them to work The knot animations are not consistent and look like they were drawn by 25 different animators and further not all knots even have animations or stepbystep just videos you have to download On some of the knots the drawing is so small you cant really see the over and under of the rope as the knot is tied on the small iPhone screen Overall UI is clunky IMO Better knot apps out there with many more knots better interface much smaller size and less money     meh

Animations are very helpful and videos are highly professional Hope to see more like this from Green Mountain Digital                 Great App

Great app well worth the price                 Super easy to use Dont be without this app when on the water

A sailing knot guide that doesnt have the buntline hitch I bought it but wish I had not Save your money        Not a complete app

The animations are wellmade and very helpful If you want to easily reference knottying on the fly this is a good app                 Well Done
