ASL pack
I got the ASL pack and it awesome I’m going to be awesome at ASL thank you for making the ASL app
Disappointed
You can only learn a few bits then need to pay for rest.
Pause Button
This app is amazing, and I am really enjoying learning sign language. The only thing I would suggest is that there be a pause button when watching videos, because it would help me learn a lot better, and I wouldn’t have to restart the whole video just to make sure I got a little gesture right. I also like practicing the gesture after it is shown, because it helps me remember it more. Love this app, great job!!

Extra Costs
Once downloaded you need to buy packs to learn more; packs are £9.99!!
I've done the first group, and it was fine, except for...
Who on Earth thought it was necessary or appropriate to teach brand new ASL users how to cuss?! "Eff you" is inappropriate and a totally unnecessary term to learn, especially in the very first lesson and for young people! Does the next set include something even worse!? I had planned to use this app to teach ASL to my little girl, but I can no longer trust it to teach her anything. You should be teaching appropriate and necessary language, not filth. There is more than enough of that trash on TV. I am sorry I had to award this app even the one star, but it won't save a comment without at least one! You could have and should have done much better. SHAME ON YOU!!!

Great leaping point
One app alone, no matter how great, will never be able to teach all the complexities and nuances of a language and it's culture. But this is a great tool to add on my journey towards mastery. $10 is worth it seeing that I still haven't been able to get through learning all the videos yet after 4 months but I can always go back too look again. I also spent $10 on chipotle the other day so I figure a learning app is more useful and long lasting. Also need to point out, out of the multitudes of videos teaching hundreds of signs, the people who decided of focus on the single foul sign or the occasional "useful" fun signs need to take a chill pill.

Service industry and emergencies
I’m in the restaurant and bar industry, so I would like to see an expansion in your service industry related content. Dialogue for handling or relating issues would be great. More terms like: manager, raw, medium rare, well done, food allergies etc. And like: your card is declined, i can’t break a hundred dollar bill, he tried to hit me, you can’t do that here, smoking outside, can you call me a cab. And most importantly dialogue and terms for emergencies like: where does it hurt? pain, medication, heart, lungs, broken bones, epipen, is it hard to breath, and so on. Thanks for helping me be able to better help my guests and be a help to strangers in need.

Excellent
I love that this app has Deaf creators. There are a variety of lessons for conversational ASL on different subjects. The app is easily searchable and has different Deaf people presenting the ASL lessons that help students see a variety & nuance of ASL. Presenters are engaging & help students understand ASL is more than just what hands are doing. Phrases are translated to English captions as they are signed so that differences in grammar & sentence structure can be understood. They also have an excellent Instagram account for receptivity practice that goes beyond what is taught in the app. Excellent start for those beginning ASL or looking to brush up if you are out of practice. I found the $10 to be more than reasonable especially as more units get added.

Amazing app
I am re-learning ASL basics because I work with two deaf people and a hard-of-hearing person, and I feel we would could improve communication and more importantly draw us closer as a team. The signs are clear and at a pace that makes it easy to keep up. I give 5 stars because the app goes through the basics which is exactly what I need for now and for $10 to get some refresher content isn’t bad at all.

5 Stars!
I love this app! Easy to learn from, especially with the slow motion function. Very clear movements. Great variety & updates. Whenever I’m commuting or have down time, I learn so many new signs!
The only downside is that the full version doesn’t transfer between family sharing plans, so each of my family had to get the full version on their account. But so worth it!
