Ok app

I like the app so far, but the person showing the sign language is in a black background, kind of depressive! Also the whole presentation is kind of blurry!

Incomplete

It doesn’t have words like car or pretzel. The signs are often different from what I learned in ASL class in college. I deleted this app. It’s easier to just google the word I want.

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!

This is a good app (has great potential)

This is a great app. I cannot deny that. I would do 5 stars, but the quality of the video is very hard to see. It lags and skips. They are at a 480p.

The signs need to redone (no, they are not incorrect) they just need to be at a higher quality.

And more common phrases Such as:
What’s up?
What’s new?
I am learning ASL for you.
Long time no see.
That’s very kind of you.
I dare you.
Your portion for today is $$$
You owe me $$$
I am a slow learner.
Please help me.
I need your help.
Please follow me.
Any questions?
Any thoughts?
Any idea?
Anything hurting?
The doctor is asking ...
Do you like me?
Do you love me?

Other than that. They are good.

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

Great App

I like this app, because every time I needed it, it was great to do a Quick reference. One thing that I wish they had on here is where you can type in something you like to say and then it would play it back.

Awesome app

This app works perfectly for what I want. I just wish it could send me a word of the day or week or some notifications to remind me to practice. Other than that this app has almost every word I have needed in one way or another.

No basics

No helpful basic phrases like “how are you?” “Nice to meet you.” No language signs. What a waste of $5 bucks. Not going to help me in my beginners ASL class.

A work in progress

When I first got this app some of the signs were incorrect. Upon contacting the developers they corrected the issues. I appreciate their willingness to help people with deaf children like myself that depend upon resources like this one.

Wonderful and useful

I recently started a job with a coworker who is deaf. The whole crew is really cool about learning ASL and this tool has been great. I only wish there was an option to save signs to flash cards or a shortlist to study them more easily when you have specific words to learn.

Can I please get a refund?

Can I please get a refund I’m not used to ASL and it got boring to me I want to give 5 stars but I have to give a 3 because I’m being honest about how I feel when you get a chance can I please get a refund?

Not super helpful

As many other people have said, these signs are either outdated or incorrect. My friend who speaks fluently in asl had no clue what I was saying.
