Reviews Summary

Top reviews

  • Mostly Awesome

    This has really helped me keep up my ASL at a time when I can’t do classes! I appreciate the explicit instruction and opportunities for review and practice.

    A few cons: The app doesn’t always recognize multiple meanings for a sign. For instance, if you type “acting” instead of “theater” (same sign), it’s marked incorrect. I get that AI can only go so far.

    Also, there’s a glitch in the “level up” star-collecting lesson. For me, specifically in module 6. I’ve scored 100% correct but then earned no starts and then gotten a message to try again.

    Finally, some of the language used in connection with queer related signs is archaic at best, and offensive at worst. No queer person I know, myself included, uses the word “homosexual” in conversation. I do hope this can be changed to reflect current, respectful terminology.

    All in all, this is the best out there to supplement learning live from Deaf instructors / community members.
  • I love it

    This happens so good if a teacher sign language there are absolutely nothing that makes me not like this app. I’ve been using it for 15 minutes every day. It’s amazing you need to try it on an ad so if you go to Jorge Mitchell elementary school if you go to if you eat lunch if you’re in second grade if you eat lunch first and then go outside for recess please go to the bench and I’ll teach you sign language but with this app it’s the best app in the world you need to get it and then if you come to my side movie Gratiot, you know all the things I try to get you to know, so make sure you try. This app is the bomb, and so far no ads
  • Quick easy to comprehend and beyond helpful

    I have deaf patients that I have not been able to communicate with and want them to not have to do so much work trying to get checked in. This app has made doing so much easier. I can do it while I’m walking my pitbull and my puppy together that’s how easy it is. I love it it’s basics to as much as you want to learn. Thank you for being so awesome and offering an app that can help my community.
  • You have to pay for everything

    Yesterday I started using this app because one of my friend’s friends have pretty bad hearing and she is friends with a friend who is friends with some deaf people, so I wanted to start learning sign language. I already knew only a few words, but I wanted to learn more. One app you could only do a daily lesson, and everything else you had to pay. On this app you can do a full lesson, but can’t do the review. I got to course four and finished it, but course five is when I had to pay for EVERYTHING. I couldn’t use the dictionary, start a lesson, ANYTHING.
  • Idiotic.

    So, this app is targeted towards the average casual user, right? People who genuinely need to or have to learn sign language likely have better resources available to them, and casual learners with endless disposable income could easily afford in person lessons or something more reliable and higher tier quality with their endless amounts of money. $18/month is a laughably high amount for the target audience of this app to spend. This app could get 1000 users willing to pay ~$5/month for every 10 that are willing to pay ~$20/month. There are so many more options and resources available for learning ASL that are either free or much more cost effective than this. Also the blatant word-mouthing greatly takes away from the learning experience.
  • Interesting

    I have to say so far the app is really good I haven’t found an app like this one. I’m more of a virtual learner and this did the job. The reason I want to learn sign language because I was never taught this language in high school or at my university I wanted to try something new. Found it interesting being a ale to learn sign language there’s soo many deaf individuals in this world where it’s hard for people to even understand and I want to be one of those people to learn a different language that is not used as often as it should be. So far the app is wonderful love the face expression is your looking for something virtual this is for you. Hope this help.
  • Too much content blocked

    This app is great for learning the basics of sign language, especially for someone like me knew little to none before downloading. However, 90% of the content is blocked behind a paywall, which is absurd. I really like this app, I just wish it was more accessible without having to pay $10 a month.
  • Obsessed

    I’m absolutely obsessed with this. Better than any other app I’ve tried! Amazingly engaging and educational. Uses multiple people to illustrate each sign so you can see how it can differ slightly. Absolutely awesome. My new favorite.
  • Thankful!

    Thank you for teaching me this precious language! I have previously learned to use sign language in my past but few words . I worked with the mentally challenged and some were hearing impaired. They taught me what they could and I LOVED every moment of it. So Thank You for this app and your kindness to teach me! God Bless. I now work with the public and want to be able to help the hearing impaired and deaf! I know it will be a blessing for both them to be understood and a blessing to me to b
  • Premium Frustrations

    I understand paying $18 a month can seem like a lot of money. I challenge you to go find a way to learn ASL cheaper or any language. Classes at Gallaudet are 990 for 16 week courses. Private classes can be more affordable but if you want a quality app with continued updates you have to pay the staff to support them making those updates. I love this app. The premium is a little high but I understand where and why it’s in place.
