+I made my first android app today. It was terrible and I plan to never do it again.

+That said, if you want an app that reminds you how to tie your tie in an easy step-by-step way, you can [download the APK](https://za3k.com/archive/how-to-tie) from my website, and I believe you should be able to run that on your phone.

+I don't know how to easily share Android source code, so I won't.
