★★★★ both Husband AND wife 9/28/2025 v2.8.0
Doesn’t work
I used to see knots, now it’s blank, empty, worthless.
★★★★ Only Sheeople Use iTunes 8/17/2025 v2.0.5
Tiny
this app is so small as to be unreadable on an iPad. Is there a different iPad version or a way to scale this up to full screen? If not it will be money ill spent.

Love the vids hate the app
I love his videos on knot tying and they are easy to follow. The app however sucks. First everything is in olive drab and brown. That would be great if we were hunting deer or something but to show how a knot is constructed high contrast would be the way to go. Also the background is black so trying to watch this in low light really sucks as well. I was looking at the animation for the Bimini knot and the tag end appears out of nowhere and when it gets to the loop once again it appears out of nowhere and it’s not clear at all which direction you’re going with tag end. I would put up some images if it would let me. I love bear essentials videos and was looking into the forward to this app but oh my gosh I have three other apps that are way better I’m sorry to say. He should’ve looked at some other apps and got some ideas before rushing into a pretty useless app. Two stars
