How to Tie a Tie Fashion Style Reviews

by Thekrayzeemoney

I have had HowtoTieaTieFashionStyle for a few years now and I used to love it until I recently went to use a Windsor knot and now in order for me to get it I have to buy the $4.99 version. I could understand if it was something they added that was new but now they want me to pay for something that was on the free version in the first place. If you give me back my original content and add something new that was not originally free then I will gladly purchase the $4.99 version. It's a five star app. But until they add back the content that I had before that I now have to pay for it's a one star app. Way to be greedy and screw over someone who has had your app for a few years.

Still has ads even after upgrade.

You have to purchase HowtoTieaTieFashionStyle to get all features .. if it was not free at the beginning it would’ve been more convenient.

HowtoTieaTieFashionStyle is awful. It doesn’t work on my iPad (iOS 15). You have to pay for it.

by BenJammin54

It used to be a good reference. But then they “updated” HowtoTieaTieFashionStyle and moved half the knots behind a IAP paywall. A greedy, sleazeball move. Just charge for HowtoTieaTieFashionStyle and stop pretending it’s free anymore.

I don’t like apps that say they are free only to offer you nothing until you pay. What a scam.

You have to pay for the in app purchase even to get something as basic as the half Windsor. And the ads are both obnoxious and poorly implemented. I get that they have to make money, but this is not a great way to do it.

Do not pay $3 dollars for something that was free. I will be removing HowtoTieaTieFashionStyle and most of my friends that also downloaded HowtoTieaTieFashionStyle before they charged for it have removed HowtoTieaTieFashionStyle and all apps made by this company. So I bought HowtoTieaTieFashionStyle about 5 months ago at it was free and had everything that they are now charging for. When I first got HowtoTieaTieFashionStyle it was free with the last update they removed everything added ads and basically took HowtoTieaTieFashionStyle back. This recent update is a smack in the face. Hey we are going to update HowtoTieaTieFashionStyle for the better, no really we are going to remove everything from HowtoTieaTieFashionStyle and charge you for what was free before/ Don't download anything from them they are just going to cut HowtoTieaTieFashionStyle in half and charge you for what you already had.
Don't download the free app don't pay for the paid app. because all they are going to do is "update" it and remove half of what you paid for or downloaded and charge you more for it. Piece of crap not worth any amount of money or time.

HowtoTieaTieFashionStyle used to be a fairly decent guide to tying a tie. Granted you can still see how to tie a few knots. However, they have taken what used to be freely available and made then an in-app purchase! They do not advertise this on their updates, one that is simply called 'bug fixes' or 'UI Improvements', turns out to have taken your favorite knot and made it a paid feature! Not too mention the adds! They pop-up all the time!

Loved the Windsor knot, was free when I first downloaded HowtoTieaTieFashionStyle . They took that one and made it paid. Moved to the Half-Windsor, took that one too. Now I can't get through a single knot without an ad showing up! Trying canceling that while your hands are tied up with your tie.

For shame guys!

HowtoTieaTieFashionStyle is okay... The instructions are fairly clear (though I've seen clearer on some websites) Some of the knots are too fancy for my taste. I prefer to stick to the four basic knots: Windsor, Half Windsor, Four in Hand and Pratt. That's all you really need. Also, a couple of the essential knots that every tie wearer should be able to do are not available unless you buy the full version. That just seems unfair. I downloaded HowtoTieaTieFashionStyle to see how good it was ( though I can tie a tue fully well without it) and I am unimpressed. You're better off just finding instructions online.
By the way, this review is from a 15 year old girl who was an avid tie wearer since she was 12.

I am happy to have HowtoTieaTieFashionStyle . My concern with it is that the pictures of the knots you are trying to help the user tie are pictured so amorphously that one cannot tell what the knot will look like when completed. Aside from the cartoons, which show you the individual steps well, the actual pictures show poorly tied ties that are too loose to tel the difference between them. The tied ties are so loose that they don't have the dimples that a well-dressed man would want to see. I wanted help with the wider triangle knots that many are wearing today. One cannot distinguish between the final look of the wide knots and the narrow ones.

Includes more steps than many other competitors, making it easier to learn.
Can't think of what else to add, except maybe a voice to guide you through, or a "slideshow" feature to go through the steps.

One very annoying aspect is that the step arrows at the bottom are right above the iAd buttons - GUARANTEED to get a LOT of unintended clicks. If I was the one paying for those clicks, I would NOT be happy! At $2.99, the full app is a bit overpriced,IMO, so I'll put up with the annoyance.

This is good but could be much better. It's a great idea that the images are not real as that makes it much easier to see what's is going on but the images are mostly fuzzy on the iPad they need to be more clearer. Closer to a "retina display" quality for the iPad
. Love all the different knots and directions are great and easy! Just update quality for iPad and this is easily 5 Star!!!!

It is easy to follow. I can tie every knot I have tried, including Windsor. I never knew how, and never asked anyone for fear of appearing foolish. (I am 56.)

The step by step "animated" instructions are very good. It actually makes wearing a tie much more fun, to be able to choose different knots, depending on the collar I am wearing.

It's worth the three dollars now that the "pay me twice" glitch has been fixed. Had there been no glitch (when I was in a hurry, and didn't have much patience) I would give it 5 stars.

One of the first apps I ever downloaded. While I do find it very useful, I do have a MAJOR SUGGESTION!

While the drawings are useful from a technical perspective, HowtoTieaTieFashionStyle is all about fashion and looking good. And a drawing cannot convey what something will look like in person better than an actual photograph.

So while it makes total sense for clarity's sake to have the step by step instructions shown as drawings, there should be actual PHOTOGRAPHS OF WHAT ALL THE FINAL TIED KNOTS LOOK LIKE. This both in the selection gallery and after the final step.

There are already photos of models in the selection pages, but not for each knot. Before deciding if I want to go to the effort of learning to tie a new knot (and some are darn tricky), it would be very helpful to first see how it looks in reality---NOT IN JUST A DRAWING. Then after I've tied the knot it would be useful to see that actual photo again so I can compare in the mirror to what I actually tied.

Make that change and I'll give HowtoTieaTieFashionStyle a rating of 6 stars.

My dad suffered from the issue of only being able to tie his own tie and not others, he just could never figure it out.

Anyways everyone complaining HowtoTieaTieFashionStyle costs money, let me ask a question...are you using HowtoTieaTieFashionStyle to learn to tie a tie for a job that asks you to work for free? These guys put in work to build HowtoTieaTieFashionStyle and we're kind enough to gift us a variety of knots for free! HowtoTieaTieFashionStyle wasn't made with magic!

by KathyVisher

Wow, this is great! I love how you move from stage to stage, and the drawings are perfect.

I learned tie knots from the absolutely magical book, "The 85 Ways to Tie a Tie." I would love to have had HowtoTieaTieFashionStyle back then!

Get this for sure if you ever wear ties. There are many knots, some suitable for thin material, others for thick, some for worn ties, etc. The type of shirt collar matters, too. So all I'm saying is that to look nice, it's useful to know how to tie several different knots. HowtoTieaTieFashionStyle does it!

No great novel to tell, it works well! The options are realistic choices for most of society, and the options for tying (inverted, etc.) are useful.

by OCD Cragdweller

Update: The developer has submitted an update to resolve the problem I previously noted. In the meantime, you can restore your purchase each time you open HowtoTieaTieFashionStyle .

HowtoTieaTieFashionStyle contains detailed instructions for each knot. Moreover, there is a "nifty" mirror feature. With this feature enabled you can superimpose the instructions onto your image (think FaceTime). This guides you step through step as you actually tie the knot.

Old Review: I have the same problem. After purchasing the full version and reviewing two knots it reverted back and locked the knots I had looked at. Please address this problem and I will update my review.

Like many reviewers have previously stated, it's unfortunate that HowtoTieaTieFashionStyle is no longer truly free. However, the additions brought about by each update have warranted the additional costs. It's now a superior product more than worth the minimal investment!

Typically, any app that was downloaded for free, then proceeds to charge for what appears to have been previously free is removed immediately from my iDevices. This is not the case with HowtoTieaTieFashionStyle. Yes, Windsor and some other knots were once free and now require the user to pay for instructions. However, how the new instructions are delivered completely warrants this fee. The animations & instructions are overhauled and far superior. HowtoTieaTieFashionStyle developers, in this case, deserve to be rewarded for their hard work.

Bottom line is, this is one of the very few "free" apps that you will not feel bad about paying for! By far the most intuitive and simplest of the tie apps I've tried.
