## Knot IQ Reviews in Canada

### ***** "Great app"
This is a great tool to pick what knot works best for your situation and then shows you step by step how to tie it. This is one of the most useful apps on my iPhone. Worth every cent.
-- Zombreks, 2026-03-12

### ***** "Excellent Knot app."
No ads, works fully offline (great for field reference). This app is outstanding. The step-by-step animations are crystal clear and perfectly paced for following along — easily the best I’ve seen for learning knots. Worth every penny. Highly recommended for beginners and experienced users alike
-- JOhn-146H, 2025-12-07

### ***** "Great App for knots"
This app is fantastic. Shows all kinds of knots in a way that make them easy to perform. DJ has some great videos on knot-tying, but I really like the app and the fact that I can use it offline. Great job DJ!!
-- Exfireguy, 2025-11-29

### ***** "Love it"
Loving the app
-- Nicknameforreview3, 2025-11-21

### ***** "Great app"
Helped with shoelaces & recommend regularly for new Fire & Rescue personnel
-- ncknme12355, 2025-11-17

### ***** "Knot Just Any Other App"
I have had other knot tying apps before but this is by far the best I have ever used. I am an avid outdoorsman and have been since a very young age. I learned many knots participating in Beavers and Scouts. I learned many  knots as a firefighter, hunter and fisherman. I now have a YouTube channel and I love to bushcraft but there is always a knot that’s useful or just can’t quite remember that one move. This app covers all that. Cost and concise. You can slow it down or change the angle to just see how it’s done. Great job and I enjoy watching your channel.
-- BlueSea Bushcraft & Outdoors, 2025-10-04

### ***** "Great channel, great dude, great app."
No data collected, available offline like when you are actually in the bush, and the animations are great. Thank you!!!
-- Cameron Watsky, 2025-10-01

### ***** "Excellent app for in-field use!"
Just downloaded this app and have been using it to learn knots as I need them in the backcountry, on the water, and in and around camp. SUPER convenient, VERY easy to use, and as long as nobody sees me using it, people think I’m some incredibly experienced outdoorsman. (I do let people I like know about the app, but I don’t share it with people I hope show up on NatureIsMetal sub).
-- DanicusX, 2025-09-25

### ***** "Fantastic!"
I have wanted to learn the art of tying knots for most of my life but have had great difficulty following along. Bear Essentials is the first knot tying platform I have been able to completely follow. I started watching his Youtube videos and now have the app and I love it. All my friends are impressed by my fancy knots. 😊
-- FreeMeFromAdsPlease, 2025-09-19

### ***** "Finally, a Knot App That Gets It Right"
The idea of 3D models to learn knots is just genius. You can watch the knots being tied from any angle, you can even go back and forth at your own pace when there’s a particular step that’s challenging- this is a big plus for me!!
The list of knots is extensive too, plus it’s from The Bear Essentials, a channel that I love supporting!!
-- YourOutdoorGal, 2025-08-30

### ***** "Great tool"
Works well and is clear
-- oozytoast, 2025-08-27

### ***** "Wow"
Le seul regret est que ce bijou d’application n’est pas en français mais sinon c’est un canif suisse à avoir dans son téléphone
-- stephane laberge, 2025-08-26

### ***** "Amazing app"
I just purchased this app and can already tell this is an amazing app.  It is very well designed and easy to use.  I like that it is a one time purchase and can be used offline.    
Thank you.
-- DJ1974, 2025-08-24

### ***** "Very useful app"
Love it! Created a list of the knots I need and want to learn.
-- pjfscfp, 2025-08-16

### ***** "Kudos to DJ"
I’ve been relying on DJ’s knot tying videos, which in my opinion were some of the best on YouTube.  He’s really stepped it up with this app. Super excited to have this offline reference available since I have a tough time committing knots to memory.
-- o.d.s., 2025-08-10

### ****- "Mon livre de référence restera sur ma tablette"
Tout ce qui manque à cette application, c'est de synchroniser la liste des noeuds favoris entre mes différents appareils.
Autrement, les références à des noeuds similaires et les domaines d'application de chaque noeud sont un atout majeur.
-- J256D, 2025-08-10

### ***** "Great Tool"
Really good app with clear instructions and many knots and uses for each.
-- tlcasper, 2025-08-09

### ***** "Well done"
so helpful , almost indispensable
-- Mapi97, 2025-08-09

### ***** "Exceptional Knot App"
I’ve been using the app for a couple weeks and I’m blown away. The visuals make it so easy to follow along. Love the ability to have favourites and make my own lists. Love that I don’t need data and can use it when out in the bush. And to top it off they don’t take data from you. Do yourself a favour and buy it already!
-- Ash82B, 2025-08-09

### ***** "Best knot app"
Good price. Amazing features. Offline functionality. Excellent app.
-- Setanta6, 2025-08-09
