Pros and cons of Pro-Knot app for iPhone and iPad

Pro-Knot app good for

Does exactly what it suppose to : teach how to tie a fishing knots
Good app. I have learned most of the knots I use on my boat from this app. Good value for the money
After update (v. 1.8) all images does not work. (iOS 3.1.3, iPhone 3G) :(
If I could only choose one knot app, this would be the one. It has clear, concise illustrations and instructions. The developer has a set of water-proof cards that I have had for years. I recommend that, too. The animation feature is well worth the price.
Purchased 05/31/2016 on a new iphone 5se. Videos wouldnt play, just got message display that they needed to be purchased. Contacted developer and heard back from them the same day. They resolved the problem and it now works as it should. Even though I have a set of the cards, I would buy again as it is a very useful tool.
Ive used this app to learn to tie many fishing knots. The instructions are clear and concise. The diagrams are very helpful, and the videos lower the learning curve significantly.

Some bad moments

It works but only shows a few knots. Please update with more.
It worked for a short while and now there is nothing... No pictures... Nothing Waste of two bucks...
I saw animated rope knots for $0.99 and animated fishing knots for $0.99 . Then I saw Pro knots but afer I bought it I found out its not animated. Wish I had read closer cause for the same money I could have had what I wanted, animated knots. So if you want the animated ones buy them each on their own for the same cost as this $1.99
Lame app. I paid for it and used to be able to watch animations. It now asks for in app purchases to watch videos. Ripped off and deleting.
Good app but the videos do not work. I paid for the in-app video purchase but it keeps asking to pay an additional fee. When I go through the process again, the App Store says that the purchase has already been made.
Paid for videos and not working ! I hope they can fix it or give a refund!
