this app is amazing.
i am a uni student and do not currently have time or money to go to tafe to study auslan (yet!). i go to sign language meet ups where i can practice, and when people ask me how i learnt auslan if not tafe, they are so surprised and shocked to hear that i taught myself with this dictionary alone. it is so useful, and even though im not perfect, im so happy this app enables me to be able to make hard of hearing and deaf folks feel seen and help me to be able to communicate with them. this new update (august 2026) is so amazing and it was everything i longed to change about this app, thank you so much for all the time you have put into making this. im endlessly grateful and i cant wait to learn more. thank you so much for all the work you do and your app is amazing.

Good app
Update good good very good good
good for support!!
i am a new learner to auslan and this is acts as a refresher for the words/terms ive learnt in class. most of it works pretty well and i appreciate that i can add my own lists and revise them as they categorise words in class. the only issue i have is that i cant seem to figure out if theres a way to select a certain dialect? from my understanding depending on where you are in aus some signs can be different but im based in nsw so i want to be able to see that specific sign before any of the others. some words have multiple ways to sign and so sometimes i get confused in which one im supposed to be using. i think if there was a feature where u could select which dialect you prefer then the videos in the dictionary would filter to those. it makes it more user friendly and less daunting for new learners out there!!

This is great feedback, I'll add support for filtering your search down based on region. Keep in mind that many signs in the sign bank (https://auslan.org.au/) do not have region information attached, so it's best effort. Thanks!
Great start
A great start to an app, if possible some improvements would be so good. Such as being able to add lists easily or when searching a particular word, t have a plus sign at the top to be able to add it to a list which can be reviewed later. At the moment it is very clunky to make a list and the community lists provided aren't able to be added to my own list or able to be reviewed.
Most of the videos are very dated and there are dual entries for words rather than one entry with two videos to illustrate two ways of saying that word.
I think a dictionary option would be good so you can scroll through all of the words that have signs attached to them and click on the ones you might want to learn or add to a list, rather than having to use the search function to find a word and possibly see others you might want to learn while you're there.
I hope this feedback helps and if implemented, will change my review to 5!

Hey hey, I'm about to overhaul the app to improve the experience for adding items to lists. As for the videos, I'm afraid these just come from https://auslan.org.au/, so we're just working with what we've got. If you could email me with more details about this dictionary option you're talking about that'd be great! daniel@dport.me
Please address slurs
I really like this app and use it frequently when referencing new key word signs, but please reconsider the use of the word “aborigine” in the descriptions of signs pertaining to aboriginal peoples. Not only is it outdated, but it’s considered extremely racist in Australia, and is not used as anything but a slur.
