Easy to use and very clear. ### 5/5 — Incredibly helpful app for learning ASL *2018-02-01, version 2.5* Love this app. It's been very helpful in learning and practicing ASL. I take a lesson once a week and this helps me practice in the interim. Highly recommended! ### 5/5 — It works *2017-06-16, version 2.5* Great well thought out app. You can adjust speed, repetition, or play the sign as a loop. Im a total beginner and this app makes me want to keep going. ### 5/5 — Very helpful app! *2016-10-13, version 2.5* I love the slow motion and the repeat loop feature. Thank you so much for this awesome app! It's the best! :) ### 5/5 — Apple *2016-08-23, version 2.5* I have never written a review for anything but I wanted to let you know how much I appreciate this dictionary. That I use everyday!!! Kudos👍 ### 5/5 — G'ma Deaf *2016-08-10, version 2.5* Hello. I'm 77 and within the last 3 months, I've gone stone deaf. I bought this app in hopes It would be of some help. IT HAS BEEN!! I bought it about a week ago, and today used what I've learned on it on an actual person. They UNDERSTOOD and ANSWERED (signed!) Its a joy to be able to actually talk to someone again!! Thanks guys!!! ### 5/5 — Favorite ASL App *2016-08-10, version 2.5* Love this app. I bought the smaller dictionary one on my phone that had the other lady doing the signs. I bought this expanded version for iPad but wish it had the other woman signing, this one has a puss on her face. ### 5/5 — Sils advisor *2016-04-30, version 2.5* I love it and the people I work with are so excited and appreciative that I want to speak to them in their beautiful, expressive language instead of writing notes. Thank you also for the looping feature to help me really see how to sign the word! you have helped me expand my mind and I just can't say enough good about it! ### 5/5 — Never to old to learn *2016-03-07, version 2.5* Sign language is one of the most lovely languages. I am having a blast . This dictionary with it's favorites aspect, makes it one of THE resources to have. I wish it had more medical stuff ( I'm a nurse and that's why I'm learning this) and phrases but overall it is the best. ### 5/5 — Asl app *2016-03-06, version 2.5* I have 3 apps with ASL dictionaries. This one is the most user friendly. Quick. Precise. ### 5/5 — I love it *2016-03-02, version 2.5* Very good 😊 ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2016-02-17, version 2.5* Gaining more vocabulary daily ### 5/5 — Rockin Grama *2016-02-15, version 2.5* I know that teaching your young child or baby signing makes them smarter. I didn't have this with my own daughters when they were young and raised my two grandsons with it. Though my daughters were intelligent, my g-sons are having an easier time of it and are more advanced. I credit this to signing. I've downloaded four other signing apps and didn't like them . I'm finally happy with this one because of the search option and the slow down option. There's other things that make this app easy to use and when I got this one, I kept it. I love this! ### 5/5 — Awesome for kids and adults alike *2016-01-25, version 2.5* I use this app every week at our after-school program to teach the kids sign-language, they really enjoy it and now that it is in some high school as a second language they will have a head start in the understanding of ASL. ### 5/5 — Asl *2016-01-13, version 2.5* Excellent value. Had it on my Nook, loved it, love it more on my iPad. Particularly like that I can use it in an area with no wifi. ### 5/5 — A must-have *2015-11-28, version 2.4* The videos are clear and the amount of entries remains unmatched. ### 5/5 — Very helpful *2015-11-20, version 2.4* Thorough and easy to follow ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Get help from Gallaudet or Berkeley City College *2012-11-12, version 1.1* I am an ASL fluent Deaf individual and was reviewing this for a friend who wants to learn ASL. Don't buy it! Too many fundamental errors, lack of consistency and unnatural way to learn ASL. This creator mixes Signed Exact English, Pidgin Signed English and ASL. I would not give any more stars until this product is peer reviewed and approved by Gallaudet or Berkeley City College. ### 2/5 — Update *2014-02-28, version 2.1* This App needs an update. A lot of signs are out of date and have changed. ### 3/5 — Fewer features than the HD *2017-04-18, version 2.5* I'm disappointed that this is a scaled down version of the HD. The description says it's improved and has all the same features. It does not. No play-all feature, fewer categories. It's an inaccurate description of this app. ### 3/5 — It's good, but.... *2015-12-08, version 2.4* It's good, but it could use with some updating. Would be nice to continue to add more words and signs. Lately, only every other word I look up is in the dictionary. For 7$ they can do a update every few weeks and add more signs. ### 3/5 — Great app *2013-09-20, version 2.1* I feel bad askin, but can you add the feature of being able to play music in the background while watching the video clips? Will give 5 stars once that is implemented. Also my app does not look like the screenshots shown above. It says i am fully updated though. What can i do to fix that. ### 3/5 — Great, but would love improvements *2012-10-01, version 1.1* As a new ASL student, this software is incredibly useful. Though, there are a few small things that would make it immensely more useful. First, upgrade the quality to retina display, or at least a decent resolution. The video quality is pretty bad. I would give you 2 more stars if you did just that. Marketing this as an iPad app with such low resolution doesn't really make it worth the designated iPad tag. Second, add the ability to make your own categories and be able to choose what words you put in there. That would allow us students to make word sets to study. That would be a HUGE help. ### 4/5 — Great *2017-04-09, version 2.5* I like this dictionary. I gave it four stars because nothing is perfect. ### 4/5 — Very helpful! *2015-10-02, version 2.4* I am taking ASL 101 and find this very helpful. ### 4/5 — Excellent *2015-08-09, version 2.4* I love this app and use it daily. Much better than any other app I have tried. Words are signed clearly and has a huge database to draw from. Highly recommend. ### 4/5 — Love this App *2015-07-22, version 2.4* Love this App. Really helps my learning ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great ASL Application *2024-05-21, version 3.4* This app is really good. I use it to brush up on my ASL. It’s a must for anyone that wants to learn American Sign Language. ### 5/5 — App *2024-01-08, version 3.3* This is such a wonderful app and easy to use. I get daily words and after a while you realize you may understand the basic of what someone may need. Even if it has to be slow. I highly recommend it. ### 5/5 — Thanks *2022-12-03, version 3.2* I'm just learning ASL. I use a couple video dictionaries. I like that yours has a "slow" feature. And it's easy to use. I hope you will be adding more "words". The cost was very reasonable. The app that gives exercises in reading fingerspelling has also been a help. Barbara ### 5/5 — LOVE IT *2021-07-01, version 3.0* Slow feature, many words, and different categories. One thing no one said is the loop version. It repeats over and over, and all these features help so much! Everything in it is worth the 5 usd, and I would pay more. Please add even more words, I BEG you, and it helps so much because most people don’t know any asl, and it can help others so much, making them feel like you care, and it might make there day.Sorry for the long thing, just NEED everyone to understand this is really important. ### 5/5 — ASL Dictionary *2021-03-23, version 3.0* Greetings— As a deaf person I really like this app. There are always words that aren’t used every day and when the time comes we scramble trying to think of the sign. This app is fast and easy allowing us to quickly fill in the gaps. Also when traveling around the U.S. we run across regional signs that we don’t recognize right away so it’s best to have a quick resource handy to help. Hands down this app is terrific! Thank you ### 5/5 — AWESOME APP *2020-11-22, version 3.0* I luv this app & have learned a lot of signs from it because it can also go in SLOW MOTION which is great for me since I’m a slow learner ‼️So when my friends ask me how I learned a lot of my signs in ASL I show them the pic of the app & now they have it too & now we are signing to each other ‼️‼️‼️ It is SUPER EASY I LUV LUV LUV IT ‼️‼️‼️‼️ ### 5/5 — Wonderful *2020-08-29, version 3.0* Using the easy to use app, I was able to sign a song to my friend. She was thrilled. ### 5/5 — Talking hands *2020-07-02, version 3.0* Thank you I love this app. Please keep current though. ### 5/5 — Love this app *2019-10-10, version 2.5* This app is perfect for beginners. ### 5/5 — Wonderful App and Customer Service *2019-07-14, version 2.5* I absolutely love this App! I purchased it to help continue with practicing what my daughter and I had learned from a few classes we had taken. I ended up reaching out to the company about a question I had regarding their other products. They answered me back promptly and I truly appreciate that in this day and time of not being able to reach a person. Thank you for such a wonderful product and for your great customer service. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
