Knots 3D was mentioned as a great outdoor resource in the Springfield, Illinois newspaper The State Journal-Register
Outdoors? There’s an app for that
Knots 3D
This app can help even the most helpless Scouting washout tie a proper knot in a variety of situations. Tap on the type of knot preferred, and an animation plays. The two ends of the line or rope are colored blue and red so it is easy to see how the knot is tied.
Weekend anglers and boaters need not worry about forgetting knots again.

After the iPad 3 became available late last week several users informed me of a bug on the iPad 3 making Knots 3D unusable. We worked on a fix over the weekend and have submitted it to Apple for review and approval. It typically takes Apple about a week to approve new releases and updates so hopefully the latest version of Knots 3D including the Retina Display bug fix for iPad 3 should be available around March 26. I have asked Apple to expedite the fix so it may possibly be available before that. The good news is the release also includes over a dozen new knots along with the fix including: Alpine Butterfly, Truckers Hitch, Palomar Knot, and more.
Thanks for your patience and understanding.
Knots 3D has been accepted by Barnes and Noble for inclusion in their NOOK app store and has also been approved for installation on the popular NOOK Color and NOOK Tablet! It is currently the only Knot reference app available for NOOK devices.

Highland, Utah – Nynix LLC is pleased to announce the latest release of their popular reference app, Knots 3D, on the Apple iTunes store. Knots 3D makes learning knots fun and allows interaction with the knot on screen like no other app in the store today. Each of the 50 featured 3D knots can be drawn, rotated, zoomed and flipped. The beautifully rendered knots can be paused at any time during the drawing to be studied, then advanced, and then paused in a repeating fashion to learn how a knot is tied. The knots can be rotated a full 360 degrees so they can be viewed from the side, back or any angle in-between.
