What People are Saying

Hear it from others how Knot IQ has been a vital part in their lives.

I can’t believe the level of detail included in this app - the ability to zoom in and change the speed with slight variations in color makes it easy to follow along and has already significantly improved my camping game! I really appreciate the blog posts that go into more detail about each knot and what it could be used for. I can’t wait for more videos showing additional demonstrations. Very impressive!!

The animations are ELITE! You can pause, rotate in 3 dimensions, speed them up, slow them down, slide the progression tab so you see them tied in reverse if you want. There has never been a better way to visualize how to tie a knot. Being a knot, hitch, and bend junkie, I love the look on people’s faces when you transform a rope into a multitool. You’ll hear phrases like “How the heck did you do that” and “Wait, show me that again”. Knots are so useful

This app offers a lot of info! Firstly, the color graded rope is a smart feature. There are many knots, group by use type and knot type and you can create your own lists. The user can scrub through a knot forward or backward, a handy feature when you want to hone in on a particular portion.
