I was super excited to start learning and was really enjoying the first lesson only to make it most of the way through and not be able to continue unless I pay $18 a month. That’s way too expensive for an app, I don’t even pay that much for any of my streaming services. Even though I am disappointed with this, still giving 3 stars because it does have a lot of pros, The app was very easy to navigate and I was able to get learning right away. The lesson (the short amount that I got to do anyways) was very thorough and helpful, showing different ways something can be signed, and going over it multiple times in different forms such as, multiple choice, matching, etc. to help you remember. It also has an option to slow down the signing if it’s too fast for you to understand which I think is great for beginners like myself and definitely helps. So overall, it really is a great app, they just want way too much and don’t even give you a full lesson before they want you to start paying. Still debating if it’s worth the money or not.
I almost never take the time to write reviews, but this app is fabulous. I am on a 43 day streak, and I am so delighted with my progress. For context, I spent some time in deaf circles as a child, more than 40 years ago, but have had almost no ASL practice since then. In just a few entertaining minutes a day, this app has helped me regain everything I once knew and then some. It starts out deceptively easy, but has a phenomenal depth of both ASL (including grammar!) and Deaf culture. I am so glad that I got a year subscription. I often do a lesson first thing in the morning, but if I forget, it gently reminds me not to break my streak come afternoon. My progress has been such that, last weekend, I felt confident enough to show up at a deaf gathering in my town.
I really like that there is no sound and that the teachers are deaf themselves. This forces me to really work on understanding sign language, rather than lipreading or depending on speech or captions. My only suggestion would be to add a feedback button. There are occasional text errors which could easily be pointed out if there was a forum to do so. overall, highly highly highly recommend this app. I’m having a blast with it!
This game is so so bad I hate it so much. I wanna eat every every day it took away my brother in the game and I was trying to get it away but then the babies kept growing away and I was so mad and I didn’t want to learn with the money was and then everyone was so mad at me yesterday because I didn’t get the Matcha greens and then now my grocery store kiwis are so mad at me and I really just want to go to bed, but I can’t because 💅😏🌸🩷EMMA greens are mad at me, 💅😏🌸🩷EMMA greens, 💅😏🌸🩷EMMA greens. What does that mean I don’t know but the green and you are a bad green and I don’t know what the Shrek wanted to get away with, but we can run really fast and today is my day day of the Ryo and I am going to run you can use and I don’t even know what my name is. I wanted to run really fast but then James Charles sister was mad at me and now you’re mad at my mom and I don’t know what my name is and I want to be happy today but I can’t because of the days of the Rys and now I’m so mad because Rys is getting over and I am mad at Rys so everyone get our ICE out of here because we don’t like the guy and we have 💅🙄the and we have the roaches in our Chilos
First off, the price is crazy expensive and I didn’t see an option for a yearly discount which I do for Duolingo. Speaking of, unless these are owned by the same company, a lot of this app seems to be copying Duo. Again regarding price, the app is quite…ugly. The appearance and interface could use a major overhaul, as well as the logo. Branding matters and maybe if it was pleasant to look at, I could possibly justify the monthly price. The trial was so short I couldn’t even become interested in wanting to pay for it. When there are so many other free options out there, I’ll have to go elsewhere.
TLDR: I did learn a few basic words in the super short trial. While I understand deaf people mouth words as they sign, I found this distracting while learning because I was just reading their lips instead of focusing on the hand movements. App design is unappealing and dated but content is decent.
Honestly, I want to learn more ASL for the future and help me study for my ASL class in high school so I don’t forget certain vocabulary. The introduction is wonderful however the fact we have to buy a subscription to have more than the first chapter to me is ridiculous. The prices are rather high too. I understand the need to pay people, however this is just disappointing. I was excited to learn, because it’s hard to find materials and apps to learn ASL anyways, but was quickly disappointed upon seeing I have to buy more chapters instead of needing to watch an ad or waiting till the next day. It puts people who cannot afford these subscriptions but want to learn, like students and etc at a disadvantage once more. No one enjoys ads but the people would rather watch them instead of needing to pay needlessly expensive subscriptions. It’s a good app, don’t get me wrong, I just had my hopes up and was yet again crushed because of yet another pay wall.
The first ever time I saw someone sign was in elementary school and I was fascinated by sign language. I never perused sign so much until I was in my late 20s. I had a daughter and my wife and I taught our daughter baby sign language. She is 3 and a half, currently and can hear and speak but she still uses the baby sign language her mom and I taught her. It’s absolutely amazing. During the first 3 1/2 years other than the baby sign language I never continued to learn more sign language. Until now. I have only had this app for 2 days now. I took the first few things I had learnt in this app and the next day I was telling my coworkers all about this app and how it truly works.
This app helps in so many ways. You are able to focus on your hands. The movement. Being able to understand. It’s pure beauty.
If there is ever any doubt in your mind about wanting to learn something new, I highly recommend giving it a shot. You won’t regret it!
(Edit: I was just charged for another month after very clearly canceling my subscription, absolutely not okay, I only have $1 and something cents in my checking now, why on earth would you do that? I have to wait until after Christmas to have money again, so, guess I can't buy anymore gifts this year. Thanks for totally screwing me over!)
If I'm going to pay that much money to learn sign language, I might as well just go to my local community college and take a class, this is absolutely ridiculous, it's great to be able to compensate people, but if you don't have money, and you need to learn sign language, you are absolutely screwed here. It should be set up like Duolingo, where you can choose to get more lessons quicker by doing premium, or you just use it daily to do one lesson a day, maybe have ads if that will help, but seriously? Forcing subscriptions? Really? Are you actually serious with that? 7 days is not enough to learn a whole other language for a free trial. Forcing people to pay for something that they need but cannot afford, is not cool, useful, or necessary. There are clearly plenty of people who are able to pay, and do pay, so why not take their money, and use that to let the rest of us use the app too? It's like you don't even want people to learn sign language, unless they're loaded on cash of course. Greed will be the death of this world and you're proving my point. DO BETTER!!!!
I’m fourteen years old and want to learn ASL, it’s an overall okay app, the lessons are quick and simple, but there’s a ton of issues. To start, I don’t have any means of paying for the premium. I couldn’t even finish chapter one without it advertising that I pay to learn. I’m not def, but would like to be able to communicate with def or hard of hearing people and there are people who need access to this for their needs especially def people. The price is insane and I cannot afford that. It’s ridiculous. Another problem is the lessons. They’re easy to understand, yes. But they dump so much information that it’s hard to grasp just one thick that you’re learning. To brush up on one specific sign I’d have to go through an entire lesson and go through things I already know and that’d be aggravating to most. There’s definitely some improvement to be had.
Everything is awesome about this, I have just started this app and it is already amazing at using. I have Doulingo and this is almost and exact replica of Duolingo but for sign language. That is not a bad thing at all! The ONLY down side of this app that I have experienced so far is it is a bit easy. Not because I have already learned some ASL already but it is because it gives obvious hints that doesn’t help someone learn. The “obvious hints “ that I am talking about would be that it asks me what sign is a certain word and it has two options, those options say what the word that sign is if that makes any sense. There is one thing that I THINK is something wrong is there is a mirroring button that I was expecting it to have a camera and make me do that sign and it would recognize what I am doing. It doesn’t have that. It does however have the mirror button and it does have the camera, but it doesn’t do anything besides show you yourself, nothing else, to me why even have the button. Everything else I love about this app and I don’t even think that you need the mirror thingy but I was expecting it because I was sure I saw it in an ad I saw. All I have to say is that. Thank you for reading my review.🤠
I absolutely love this app! I have in tunnel hearing loss which means I can hear out of one ear and I can’t hear out of the other. When I was a child I only knew so little of sign language and then when I got older I stopped using sign language because I got use to reading lips and having people talk loud so I can hear. Now as an adult my ears are getting worse and worse as I get older and I’m wanting to learn sign language so I can still communicate with my family and others. I already learned so much in just 10 minutes. I didn’t know how easy it can be to learn sign languages thank you for coming up with this app!! 😁
