http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00701L5XS?ie=UTF8&ref=mas_faad
This is the full 70+ knot version that is normally $1.99.
Sorry for the short notice, Amazon was originally going to do this promotion tomorrow but bumped it up a day.
We are constantly asked to add new knots to our knot apps. We certainly consider all suggestions and try to accomodate them into the app if it makes sense. We have already implemented over a dozen user suggested knots into the app. The following are outstanding requests that may possibly be added to Knots 3D in a future release. Feel free to suggest your favorite knot or second a motion for one listed below! Submit knot requests to http://nynix.com/support/. Drawing and animating each knot is time intensive so it may take months before your favorite knot is part of Knots 3D. Thanks for your patience! We try to release an update every 6-8 weeks with new knots and/or functionality.
