  • BUYER BEWARE

    I bought Lingvano’s 1-year subscription on my PC after downloading the free app and started the lessons last night - I was so excited to learn! The app looks awesome. Then when I checked my bank account this morning I saw that Lingvano had charged my bank account the full subscription fee 5 TIMES IN A ROW. That’s nearly $600 for what was SUPPOSED to be ONE transaction. I feel cheated and scammed, and I don’t know if I’ll get my money back because I can’t find a customer service number anywhere, just an option to talk to a bot for troubleshooting on the app. Be VERY CAREFUL. I will have to dispute these with my bank and I have no way of knowing if I will even get my money back.
  • Mouthing words

    I like this app but really wish the teachers wouldn’t mouth the words they are signing. Not only is it distracting for someone trying to learn to sign, I think takes away from the demonstration by making it easy to just guess what they are signing based on the mouthed word. Also, too expensive. I understand a premium aspect of an app but it makes learning sign language a privilege for those who can afford it.
  • Must force quit after each lesson

    Current non-functional con: after every lesson (after the “checking answers” screen), my app hangs unresponsive on a white screen. I have to force quit and re-open, and the majority of the time it hasn’t registered that I completed the lesson so I have to redo it.

    If that ONE thing wasn’t in the way I would truly live this app. Clean, clear, love the way the lesson structure is built, love the video dialogues and little culture lessons. Hope my tech issues are fixed because I want to keep going!
  • Great

    This is a pretty great app just one suggestion. I know a bit of ASL and want to continue learning. But I had to take this from scratch rather than learning at my level. It should test how well we know sign language. But other than that it’s a great app and for those who don’t know any sign language, get it. But for those who already have some experience, it may take a while to get to where you need to be. But nonetheless it’s a great app.
  • It’s alright..

    I love the app, although it definitely has room for improvements.
    First, enough with the premium! If your deaf and broke, your gonna have to learn sign language some how. People need to learn and I think the premium is making thing limited especially for people that need it! If you don’t want to get rid of premium that’s fine, but at least put the price down a notch. Not even some of the most popular apps are that expensive. If I can’t remember how to sign “How”, I would have to go all the way back to one of the lessons and see a bunch of stuff that I’ve already mastered. It’s really annoying that I can’t just use the dictionary, or do some other lessons. Not everyone is rich and has money to pay for premium. I feel bad for the people that actually need the help. Overall, though, the app is great with loads of lessons (even for people that don’t have premium). Although learning some lessons are really quick it still is very helpful.
  • Password will not reset

    I was enjoying this app, but after latest update it logged me out. I could not remember my password, so tried to reset it, but will not reset after multiple tries. Even deleted app and reinstalled, but still will not let me reset my password.
  • Best ASL app I’ve tried

    I’m HoH but was never taught ASL. When we discovered my daughter had my same hearing loss, I decided we’d both learn ASL. I’ve taken classes locally and on Zoom but every app I tried wasn’t great or didn’t work. This is the winner! It teaches not only signs but correct signing in Deaf culture. I now have a way to practice daily, which I need as the Deaf culture here is tiny. Very happy overall!
  • Helpful App

    This app is helpful because it shows you a sign, allows you to adjust the speed of the demonstration, and provides a mirror option so you can see yourself signing. It also provides explanations for syntax and other helpful details.
  • You need to pay for it to continue):

    I say it’s actually a good app. Gives u good signing and all. But kind of after my 3rd lesson, the lessons are kind of short, it told me that if I wanted to continue, I would have to pay. I mean yes, ASL apps aren’t free, unless there is one that is free, but I am looking for ones that are free. Which I don’t think there is. Thank u for reading.
  • Too expensive ☹️

    This is the best app I have found for learning ASL. I am sad to have to delete it because I cannot afford the payments. Way too expensive. I am a college student trying to learn and the gatekeeping of knowledge due to expensive rates makes me rate this app so low. If the rates were significantly decreased I would love this app. Very disappointed to have to delete it.
