## Review summary

Users largely praise the app as a useful, easy-to-use knot reference with decent free content and helpful visuals for teaching. However, repeated concerns about intrusive ads, high subscription costs, a limited free library, and inconsistent instructional diagrams significantly reduce value and drive users to seek alternatives.

### Pros

- Useful knot reference and learning tool, with ongoing usefulness for instruction and learning.
- Easy to use with a clear, well-structured interface and good visuals.
- Free version provides a decent library of knots with descriptions to learn from.
- Helpful for teaching scouts and groups who need knot knowledge.

### Cons

- Intrusive ads and auto-play pop-ups that interrupt knot demonstrations and learning.
- Premium pricing is high (subscription around 30+ per year) with limited added value for many users.
- Free library is limited and misses many basic or common knots, reducing usefulness.
- Poor knot instruction and diagram issues (steps can be misrepresented or diagrams cut off) reported by multiple users.
