### 2/5 — I’m a kid by the way

*2026-05-01, version 3.1*

As a kid i don’t love or hate this app it’s just fine but I wanna report a problem

When I do the flash card quizs it doesn’t go to the next one

### 4/5 — Great app but needs fixing

*2024-09-21, version 3.1*

This is a great app! I love it , but when I tried to see the video of how to sign the words there was no video or know way of seeing the sign so I’m pretty disappointed with the app and I’m definitely deleting it and I won’t redownload it until it’s fixed so please 🙏 fix it

### 4/5 — Could Sound and Video go together?

*2024-07-04, version 3.1*

I have only just purchased the app and my ASD 3-year old son loves it.

Is there a way for us to play the video and the sound together without pressing 2 separate buttons? It would be just so much easier for him if he didn’t have to press 2 buttons. I have to help him each time.

If not, is this a feature you can look at adding please?

### 2/5 — Eh

*2024-06-15, version 3.1*

I don’t like it limited

### 4/5 — Amazing app! But the quiz is not working

*2024-06-09, version 3.1*

Hi! We absolutely love this app for our daughter. She is learning signs so fast and actually understanding them. We 100% recommend the app, but wanted to address a small issue. When she clicks on the quiz tab, our kid sees a screen with a video for a sign, and 3 answers it could be. It also says click the right answer, but when it is pressed, we can’t submit it and nothing happens. She can’t scroll down like on all the other tabs either. We appreciate you looking at this and hope this gets fixed soon! (Also, besides the quiz, this is a fantastic app and is super easy to understand! We love it and find it so helpful!)

### 4/5 — Good but need help

*2023-11-20, version 3.1*

There are some sighs that can be signed differently. For example I learned no as you hold up your pointer and middle finger and connect then, then put then down. But you did something different. Please add both ways. Plus ones It got my scores incorrect on my quiz.

### 2/5 — add more

*2022-11-04, version 3.0*

l want to do the quoz but every time l press the ansew theres no submit and l have done them all so l wish you could add levels and lf you could compete against other people to test your sign lauguage and if you win you could earn more things pleas respond

### 4/5 — I want more

*2022-10-25, version 3.0*

It’s a really good game but I think it to you some thing first there should be a favorite section and there should be more things you can learn and also there should be a way that you can remember

### 3/5 — Please fix this

*2022-07-01, version 2.0*

I had purchased this add ons for this app, for my son who has non vocal Autism. However, I am unable to access said extended content. Please fix this, because we were so excited for this.

### 3/5 — Fix or Update! I paid

*2022-03-20, version 2.0*

My son loves the app, BUT he can’t use it properly most of the time. Every time we log in to the app the extra features we bought are never on there. We have to update each time and often that doesn’t work either. Considering we paid for the package, your attention should be given especially to those who paid.

### 2/5 — If it works it is great

*2022-03-10, version 2.0*

This was a great app but every time I opened it I had to try and restore my purchase and it didn’t always work. This would frustrate my young child as they waited. I ended up looking for a different app to use. But if the developer could fix this issue it would be awesome.

### 2/5 — 3 OF THE LETTERS ARE WRONG

*2022-02-28, version 2.0*

Hey so this is a good-ish app it’s very cute. okay anyways here’s the story STORY: I was 7 when I got I played it for a couple months then I got board of it so I deleted it then 2 years later I got it back. i started studying the ASL kids ABC the I noticed 3 OF THE LETTERS IN THE ABC WERE WORNG. (The next day at school) I was talking to my friend how is deaf I showed her the ABC is ASL and she said N P and Q were WORNG so pleas fix this as soon as you can thank you

### 2/5 — Too basic and Boring

*2022-01-01, version 2.0*

I started this using this app a couple days ago and I already finished all the categories, got 100% on all the tests and basically finished the app. It only took me 2 days to finish! Then, the app started to pressure me to pay 2.99 to keep on using the game! I, overall didn’t really enjoy this game because it isn’t really a game. I would never recommend this app to anyone. I did find another app that I just finished reviewing! I recommend! Just look for it on your App Store! I gave 5 stars! It has brown, green and black on the app!

### 2/5 — Only a few signs

*2021-10-06, version 2.0*

I liked the app but it was hard to understand what they are saying and over all only hade a few signs.

### 2/5 — App is broken and there’s no update

*2021-09-27, version 2.0*

I have to restore purchase multiple times per use. But when I do that, a window thanking me for my purchase pops up and won’t close so I can’t see the screen. Then I close the app and I need to restore my purchase to get all the signs again..

### 2/5 — Do not recommend

*2021-08-13, version 2.0*

I paid for the full version of this app and it is a great concept but never works. When I restore my purchase, it just freezes up and does not work.

### 2/5 — Add more commonly used works

*2021-04-01, version 2.0*

There aren’t a lot of words that are commonly used

### 3/5 — Great App!

*2021-02-27, version 2.0*

I just got this app today and I know the full Alphabet and some colors and emotions! I wish they would add more! They have not pull all of the colors nor the emotions! I also wish they had some nouns and verbs such as, “the” “will,” and other things you need in a sentence. Other than that this is an amazing app!

### 4/5 — Great app

*2021-02-06, version 2.0*

This app is awesome for learners. I am trying to teach my one year old asl. One think I would like to see added is PLEASE or basic manners. Thank you! Great app.

### 2/5 — Pros Cons

*2021-01-19, version 2.0*

Pros: 
The kids who demonstrate the signs are cute. 

You can tap to show one sign at a time.

Cons:
Some of the signs are a bit inaccurately signed, and so if a child is using this as a signing model without someone to show the correct way, they will not learn properly.

There's no play button to continue play of all the signs in a section.

The format of the app is a bit rudimentary and boring.

There are many basic signs missing, for example: The colors Grey and Brown are not taught, the emotion Sad is not taught.

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money!

*2023-02-09, version 3.1*

This app send great at first. I purchased the additional words and it took way too much time and effort to get those to load. After 30 minutes of learning on the app, NO videos will show. Each word is blank when I click on it. I’ve contacted the developer but have not received a response. Now I’ve paid for an app that has no use at all! Find a better app. Beware of paying for the add ons in this one.

### 1/5 — Dommage! Manque de mixité

*2022-05-26, version 2.0*

Le concept est top le seul hic rédhibitoire est qu’aucun enfant ne ressemble au mien.

*2021-10-20, version 2.0*

Overall a good app however when I purchased the add on it briefly showed me the extra content and then it disappeared again.

### 1/5 — Not working

*2020-12-29, version 2.0*

App is amazing when it works but it’s constant problems. Purchased the expansion but it does not show up and only gives me the option to purchase again. Tried to fill out a contact form on their website and the reCAPTCHA does not work so the form cannot be sent.

### 1/5 — Used to be good

*2020-11-27, version 2.0*

Worked great first few times I used it, got the pod version and now the videos won’t play no matter how many times I reinstall it. Would not recommend

### 1/5 — My review on this app

*2020-11-11, version 2.0*

Hi so this app is ok but it doesn’t have a lot of commen communication words. I also bought the 3 dollar thing that gives you 170 new signs but it didn’t save once I leaved the app and it only had the normal ones that come free with the app

### 1/5 — doesn’t work!!!!

*2020-07-21, version 2.0*

The videos showing you how to sign won’t play! nothing works!

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2020-07-02, version 2.0*

I bought this app for my son and whenever I press play to see how to sign the word nothing happens. I want my $2.99 back for buying the additional signs.

### 5/5 — Olivia

*2022-12-23, version 3.0*

This is a amazing app it helped me learn more about sign language and it is  kids friendly because me and my 5 year old cousin love to do the app

### 5/5 — Asl

*2022-09-08, version 2.0*

It's great for learning, it tells you 108 asl's and I love it

### 5/5 — ⚠️PLEASE READ⚠️

*2022-02-10, version 2.0*

Hey! I had this app a LONGGG time ago, and I just stumbled upon it, now. I just want to say...if you want to be those professional interpreters,or communicate with the deaf/mute....start small. I mean, right? Everyone starts somewhere! I learned the abcs to ASL when I was 8 years old from this amazing app. This game tests your ability and helps you along the way. The app isn’t ONLY for kids, it’s for EVERYONE! Plus, remember...”Believe you can and your already half way there” -Theodore Roosevelt

### 5/5 — Nice

*2021-10-18, version 2.0*

A good app for me when I was starting to learn ASL.
I have a few apps, but this one was most useful for me to memorize the signs they have and practice.
Would like it if you didn't have to pay to get more signs, but that's understandable.

Thanks a lot!

### 5/5 — I love it so so much

*2021-04-04, version 2.0*

I am not  deaf but I want to learn so I got this app and I love it and I’m getting better

### 5/5 — Love that app 😱😱😱😱

*2021-01-12, version 2.0*

I really really love this app. It’s extremely well done !!!! You can push on replay as many as you want. 

We learned a lot with this application.  

It’s super easy to learn and fast. 

Those kids are amazing ☺️☺️

Seriously. You guy did a great job. We tried a lot of different app and your is the best one 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡

### 5/5 — Super

*2020-12-06, version 2.0*

Die App ist toll aufgebaut und hat für jedes Wort eine kurze Animation, die man abspielen kann. Kaufempfehlung.

### 5/5 — Love it!!

*2020-11-08, version 2.0*

This app is great. I love that first you see the draw and then you tap to see the signs (but you can see the picture and the signs simultaneously). I use it as normal book for my baby. He likes to see the pictures and I think is easier to capture his attention when explaining the signs. I also love that the signs are done by kids. 

Can you please launch an extended version please!!!

### 5/5 — A.W.E.S.O.M.E

*2020-09-27, version 2.0*

This was an awesome app! I learned 60 signs in two days! It’s so easy to use, fun, and it’s not one of those apps where you’re like oh do I have to do this. Every time I go on it, it is very fun. I recommend you to use it!!!

### 5/5 — 5 stars

*2019-12-30, version 2.0*

Just wish there were more signs and a more hands on option to learn. (Like videos 🙃)
