Ty ### 4/5 — I love this app but…. *2021-11-06, version 1.72* This app is so cool but there are important words like and that there is no sign for its a little hard to talk. ### 3/5 — Great idea *2021-07-24, version 1.7* Great start look forward to more words ### 1/5 — why the title subjects so dim ? *2021-06-25, version 1.7* you can hardly see the categories it so dim ? ### 4/5 — The app keeps crashing on me! *2020-09-25, version 1.6* I hope the update fixes this or I’m uninstalling! I want to learn Auslan because I made a deaf OC, so the game I was playing would be inclusive. ### 1/5 — App crashes *2020-09-22, version 1.5* App crashes every time I try to open a video of the signs. ### 1/5 — Pictures work, but no video *2020-09-21, version 1.5* Unfortunately while I think this app should deserve four stars, I just can’t give it. The app crashes for every single video demonstration — which isn’t very useful when Auslan is so fluid and visual. The stationary hand signs only take you so far. ### 4/5 — The video instructions are great *2020-08-30, version 1.4* This App is a great free resource with its video instructions for each sign and alphabetical listing of key terms. It could be improved significantly by enabling users to ‘favourite’ signs for learning and quickly referencing them, and by adding a ‘test your knowledge’ section with multiple choice options. ### 4/5 — Love it but... *2018-07-28, version 1.2* If the family section, I think ‘son’ and ‘daughter’ would be useful. There is mum, dad, brother and sister but not the relationship between the adult to child ### 2/5 — Can't scroll fully. *2018-07-03, version 1.2* Very good app but needs to fix the scrolling problem. Can't view first and last entries. Looking for a better app now. ## Frequently asked questions about Auslan Tutor ### What does the Auslan Tutor: Key Signs app teach?
