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!!

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!

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 Not only is it outdated, but it’s considered extremely racist in Australia, and is not used as anything but a slur.

Best Auslan app ever

Your Apple app is the best so easy to use and to navigate. The only thing is needing a few more words like example would be tank breach of Dogs fish and chips things like that but other than that our family just loves thank you Daniel

Response from developer

I'm afraid I don't control the data, it all comes from the sign bank! If you could reach out here they might be able to help out: https://auslan.org.au/
