## Review summary

Users praise Knot Guide as a comprehensive, learner-friendly knot reference that stays accessible and updated for some. However, the shift to a subscription model—locking knots behind paywalls, forcing longtime buyers to subscribe, high costs, and intrusive prompts—drives many to delete the app or seek alternatives.

### Pros

- Comprehensive knot library and a strong learning resource for tying knots.
- Easy to understand and user-friendly reference.
- Reliable on-hand reference that’s available when you need it.
- Regular updates keep the guide current and maintained.

### Cons

- Knots are increasingly locked behind a subscription, gating content users previously paid for.
- Long-time buyers feel baited or forced to subscribe after purchase.
- Subscription price is high (around $32/year) and many users deem it not worth the cost.
- Perceived lack of meaningful updates or new knot content to justify the subscription.
- Intrusive pay prompts and UI friction make it annoying to use.
