## Review summary

Knot IQ is praised for its comprehensive knot library, high-quality 3D animations, offline use, ad-free experience, and solid value with ongoing updates.

When functioning smoothly, it’s a strong field-ready knot resource that complements DJ’s YouTube content.

### Pros

- Offline-ready with no ads or data collection; downloadable knots for field use.
- User-friendly, practical for learning and field work; clean catalog and intuitive navigation.
- Lifetime updates and a responsive developer; free updates and ongoing content growth.
- Good value; one-time purchase praised for lifetime access and its YouTube content integration.

### Cons

- Bugs and instability affecting user experience: app described as buggy and frustrating, with the knot list failing to update at times.
