There are several apps for your phone that teach knots.

Silly comment. They both have their uses.

>>Albert+Mc
why do you think it's silly? The offline functionality could have been implemented with the website too. I don't see any benefit in this use case for an app. But it has the downside that an app has possibilities to screw my system or track me unnoticed. So if you do not need special native features and you are not a computationally expensive product, please built a good offline capable website and not an app.

Please tell me where the app has "it's uses" here?

Why is it silly? Because knot tying is about as harmless as it gets. This isn't the Twitter or LinkedIn app. From my memory of when I had one of these apps, it didn't even ask for my name.

People like making apps, and users seem to like them, too. Grow up.
