Off the top of my head (I have an iphone), What Knot To Do by Columbia Sportswear Co is free and the info is good.  Animated Knots by Grog is a port of the website which, you could use as a website instead if your bandwidth is not an issue.  I bought a version at one point to support them, but something happened (renamed?) and I don't "own" it anymore?  bleah.

Although I have several others, I like best the Animated Knots by Grog app on my iphone.  It is not free (as the associated website is free), but it does not cost much.

One feature on the phone app that I really like (and the website has it too) is the ability to show the mirror image of the instructions.  When I am teaching knots to a group, and I find that one is left-handed, I make sure to show that person the app and recommend the website.  These left-handed learners always get really excited to see the instructions in the way that makes more sense for them.  Unfortunately most instructional materials are written by and for right-handed knot tyers.

I am very fond of "Knots 3D" It is very detailed, gives good animations of the knots being tied, includes history, ABOK numbers, etc. It is a a very complete and useful app.
It is also regularly updated with more knots. Great app in every way.

Hello,

I have Knots 3D and Useful Knots Pro on my phone.

The two work well for every day knots.
Knots 3D is slicker and looks nicer. Great features with mirrored views, rotating knots.

So if you were just getting one, I would suggest that one.
(I am on android)

Cheers
Greg

I'm a knitter, and I'm always looking for ways to make my projects easier and more efficient. I've been searching for the perfect knot app to help me out. So, if you're looking for the best app for your iPhone or Android device to help you with your knitting projects, I recommend you check out https://smartengines.com/. They provide AI-driven products for mobile apps, which allow you to tackle even the most complex tasks. They have a wide range of products, from easy-to-use automated tools to full-featured development kits. From what I've seen, they have some of the most sophisticated development tools on the market.

There is a trilogy of non-nonsense Android apps by Neptuns Apps: Useful Knots, Useful Fishing Knots, and Useful Paracord Knots.  This is the associated website I believe: http://useknots.com/
