Well basically it’s great and I do know asl so it’s a little hard to understand this app and I don’t want to half to pay for it but of course it’s how you make your money so it isn’t why I am not crazy about this app. It’s just not what I’m looking for and if you are looking for something to learn asl I don’t think you should get it because it’s SUPER HARD TO UNDERSTAND and the letters of the alphabet and it almost makes them look WRONG!!!! So I don’t think it’s a great app and some people from other reviews are maybe learning asl wrong and don’t think they are! PLEASE FIX THIS APP!!!!😫😫😫😫
as I mentioned Lingvano is overall great.
There are a couple issues I have.
In the finger spelling lessons I kept getting the same words!
MOUNTAINS. ELEMENTARY. etc.
If it says ______ SCHOOL, I already know the answer is ELEMENTARY and so my finger spelling practice is unhelpful.
A lot of the time, I can quickly unscramble the available letters to figure out the word. Just give us a QWERTY keyboard!
Much simpler.
Minor spelling mistakes, except in finger spelling, should be given half credit or something. It’s frustrating to spell a long word and get it wrong.
I should be able to hit Submit with the sentence construction. When I put the words in it auto submits. Sometimes I want to go over my answer for a moment.
I do like this app, but I think there is so much room for growth. The videos are a really great way to learn (although they do stick at times, even though our internet is extremely fast.) And I love the option to slow down the videos. All that is helpful. I do think the curriculum moves VERY fast. Things only get repeated through the module and by the next one you don’t revisit the content anymore, just learn a lot of new words. Since the modules are short and done in a few minutes, it’s just a few minutes of practice before the next batch of new words is introduced. I also wish it were an option to revisit mistakes to make sure they’ve been learned from. I really love the way Duolingo approaches teaching (Repetitions, presenting the same information different ways, gamifying the experience…) I really wish they would teach ASL. By comparison this app feels bare for sure.
Very easy and convenient to work through the different lessons! I wish the dictionary portion was more expansive, but my main complaint is the subscription based program. I know that’s the standard nowadays but without regular people to practice with, I lose the information quickly, so I would have to maintain a subscription “indefinitely” - and the prices make that impossible. Maybe a model where you pay that monthly rate but keep courses you completed afterwardswithout having to pay? Like keeping a textbook from a class.
Very great app to learn how to become conversational in asl. Lessons are short enough to be completed within a few minutes, but if you do one or two a day they definitely start to add up and your knowledge starts to compound.
Lots of complaints on price in these comments, but at the end of the day it’s not free to create an app of this caliber and it’s way cheaper (and more convenient) to pay for the app than to hire a tutor or attend a class.
Love the set up of the app, but for people who are just interested in learning asl in their free time it’s WAY too expensive. I price checked and I could hire an asl tutor to FaceTime with for a better price and value.
It was disappointing to see the price after really enjoying the app set up, I think a lot more people would pay for this app if only it was cheaper.
I got so excited when I downloaded this app, and I was really hoping to be able to learn sign language, but I couldn’t even complete the first lesson without having to pay!! It was such a good app for teaching sign language, but I definitely think there could have been more open to people who weren’t able to pay. The dictionary option as well as the vocab features and such could have been closed to those who couldnt pay, but it would be nice if the actual lessons were available to everyone. Im truly disappointed that I can’t continue to learn sign language using this app :(
I was going into this assuming that there would be a few premium features that required a subscription. However, the review feature, and 90% of the lessons are under the premium plans. I am going to have to pay because this seems like the best option, but it’s still frustrating.
The app is all right but the app seems to be zoomed in and some of the videos only show you once. There’s no way to repeat some of the videos. Because everything is zoomed in, I can’t see everything. I don’t know if there are options to click. I had to guess answers on some of the questions because the video only showed me once. The format of the app isn’t appealing but the information on there is good.
I tried other apps and was upset with their generic designs. I have slightly studied multiple languages and I was looking for an app that would teach me the few signs that comprise a sentence and it’s English translated equivalent. This app has been the saving grace I was looking for and with its assistance I truly believe I will be able to learn ASL to speak to my family. I hope they continue to provide this amazing tool for free, even though they deserve payment for it.
