Use at work all the time!

This app helps me fill in the many large gaps in my ASL vocabulary. I use it almost daily with young children who receive speech/language services and their parents. I’ve referred many parents and other professionals to the app, as well!

Great Easy App!

Easy to use would give a 5* if included popular phrases, but as a newly deaf person it has helped me more than I could say!

Well executed

My wife and I love this app. We have been using it for several years now on the iPhone and the Dev Team keeps updating this app to keep it stable and working efficiently on every new iOS upgrade and new iPhones. Thank you!

The UI is very simple and so user friendly; the videos are clear and effective. I like the slow motion feature.

Only one suggestion:
Please allow user to bookmark different signs as favorites or into different user created folders.

Disappointed

It’s hard to see clearly what she’s doing with her hand in some signs, and it would be much better if she’s positioned to do it from different angles and closer. I wish I’d purchased one of the other apps:(

Pretty good

Some of them don’t seem right and I don’t have someone who I can ask because im not around deaf or fluent asl people also she doesn’t have any facial expression which bothers me a lot. And there should be notes on some where it can mean different things depending on the face. Just a thought but it’s pretty good

Great app!

Overall really great app! Has basically all words I need in the moment. Very accurate, although it could use a bit of an update on some words. The app design is also old, but it does everything I need it to do.

Some sign wrong!

I look on your asl some wrong word! No perfect!

Solid App for the Price; Hopefully to Improve

A good app. One major thing for me is that it doesn't explain similar signs—how they differ, or if they ARE the same and one can figure it out by context. For example I just looked up “day in and day out (everyday)” and it looks like another sign I’ve seen. Unfortunately I’m worried about doing it wrong. No one is here to help me move fwd.

New Update for Korea

Reason why I give 3 stars cause some of Sign Language is error and need to update new sign language. Like Korea that you sign language was insulting to their language. You need get updates for Korea their sign language for Korea. By the way I’m deaf!

Not many signs

I am a DHH long term substitute teacher for who is not fluent in ASL. I know, I know, but the district was desperate and I know enough to teach kiddos who are very young and don’t have much language since their parents don’t sign. Anyway, this app has been pretty much useless since about 90% of the time there isn’t the sign I need on here. Thank goodness for my aide who is hard of hearing and is fluent in ASL, but I feel bad always having to ask him. Also, I have an awesome paper dictionary but it takes longer to look up words and the drawings aren’t always easy to understand. If you added more signs, this would be an awesome app since the signers are very easy to understand.

Response from developer

We try to have every ASL Sign, not every English word has a sign in ASL. The English language has over 1 million words, whereas ASL only has about 5000 Signs. ASL is not a form of manually coded English. If you find a sign you feel is missing please email it to us and we will add it the next time we film. We worked hard to make this app which has helped a lot of people communicate, we hope you reconsider this review. Thank you
