Met and exceeded my expectations
Everyone will have their own opinion on this, but I would like to share mine. I used to be fluent in ASL, but lost much of it over the years. Having several family members that are deaf, as well as a nonverbal child, I decided to re-teach myself. I did a lot of research on my part, and while there are many great apps to help you learn, I have found that this one is the best in many areas.
I do have one suggestion for the app itself. As we go through lessons, and click on correct responses, I believe the buttons and taps should be interactive. When we answer and check our responses, if they are correct, in addition with response, turning green, the phone should vibrate once. If it’s negative, vibrates twice. I think that could greatly assist other users and would be a great addition, just like slow-down turtle option.

Love it!!

A longtime coming
So glad to finally see apps to learn signed languages!
I already know a decent amount of ASL but saw an ad for this ans wanted to check it out. I have only gone through the free things but already they have discussed some uses of facial expressions, mouth morphemes, and proper notation of writing sign language! It shows that this is not some lame cash grab but that the devs did their homework to make something quality.
I do believe it is a bit pricy but I understand that apps are not free to make. If a free version with adds or equivalent is possible, that would be great. If a fee has to be there, I do think that $30/month is a bit steep. It’s still cheaper than taking a university course but you also would get less quality language learning from an app than a class with a proper instructor giving you feedback.
I don’t believe I will be able to justify paying the subscription fee, especially since—looking through the lessons—I would not be learning much new information. Which brings up my main feedback: have a proficiency test option! It’s not uncommon for people interested in learning a language to already have some knowledge of that language. I think having a way to gage if a user could begin on a higher level would be very helpful!

Too expensive
I understand that apps may cost money but I hate the gatekeeping on language. And yes- gatekeeping because not everyone can afford these high app fees.
Excited beginner
Just starting on this app and loving it so far. I’ve used DuoLingo for a few years and wished they would adapt to have sign languages. This app is great & similarly fun to use.
Love the Turtle
I love the slow speed option I used up my free trial and have moved onto my first month of paid subscription. I am learning so much and retaining it. I love the practice section and the dictionary. I am already sad for when I run out of content. I am not sure what I will do then, this has honestly been the most helpful learning tool that I have tried for ASL

Great app
I am learning ASL in an engaging and practical way. I’m very pleased with this app! If you want to learn ASL this is a great app!
Five stars because it’s great. But it is a little expensive.
