Just one problem *2026-08-21, version 1.61* I have been using this app for a while and I absolutely love it and have learnt so much I have recently finished the section on numbers and here is where the problem is you need to pay for the subscription carry on I understand that you need to pay the people who sign and the teachers however you can reach that through extras like flash cards as it would be really useful to be able to learn more through the lessons ### 4/5 — 4/5 always room for improvement *2026-08-10, version 1.61* I have only shortly been using the app but found it really helpful for learning BSL but I think it would be great if there where more available games without paying so it’s more accessible for children with learning difficulties/ nonverbal children who need to learn BSL as their source of communication ### 2/5 — App brilliant if you pay *2026-08-07, version 1.61* The free part of the app is not as good as it used to be they are trying to get you to buy it and it’s quite expensive when your on a pension. ### 4/5 — Great up to a point *2026-08-04, version 1.61* Great app, really user friendly- but - having been pushed to learn daily, by 3 months the content is finished. For £90 I expected a years worth of content. Not £1/day use!!! ### 4/5 — BSL app *2026-07-29, version 1.61* it’s really good but it only really shows you signs and you have to guess what they mean it doesn’t give you anything to actually learn them it’s sorta like a thing you have to remember from previous ### 5/5 — CHL *2026-07-27, version 1.61* i have conductive hearing loss, and was told that learning BSL could be a huge help! thank you to Bright BSL for making my learning fun, engaging and addictive! ### 5/5 — SO GOOD *2026-07-25, version 1.61* ITS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING THEY HELP SOOOO MUCHHHH ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-07-24, version 1.61* I recently became deaf and wanted to communicate with my friends and family. I couldn’t unless I spent time learning I saw an ad for this and decided to give it a go. I know now how to communicate with them. This app is amazing and I have enjoyed learning. Thank you so much. ### 4/5 — Sign language app to learn with your friends for fun *2026-07-24, version 1.61* This app is really good for when you’re deaf and when you’re just learning it for fun and for your education with your friends. ### 5/5 — Helps *2026-07-23, version 1.61* It is helping me step by step to learn BSL ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-07-22, version 1.61* It’s really fun and it’s great to learn something new as well as knowing it could help you to communicate with everyone that is great! And you can relay it to yourself and I feel like I’m learning quite quickly. ### 5/5 — God send! *2026-07-22, version 1.61* Very easy to use and follow as a complete beginner ### 5/5 — Learning BSL has never been easier *2026-07-21, version 1.61* This app makes learning British Sign Language feel approachable, engaging, and easy to stick with. The lessons are clear, well-paced, and it has the same motivating, bite-sized feel that makes apps like Duolingo so effective. It's a fantastic way to build confidence and learn useful signs a little at a time. I'd highly recommend it to anyone interested in BSL - whether you're a complete beginner or just want to refresh what you already know ### 5/5 — This app is brilliant *2026-07-21, version 1.61* The app has helped me slowly understand at my own pace ### 2/5 — Disappointed with this app *2026-07-21, version 1.61* I really enjoyed it and got up to unit 4 in 1 day! The only problem is that you can’t get past that unit without paying for a subscription which I don’t want to do. This has made me overwhelmingly disappointed. I do not suggest brightbsl if you are not willing to pay. ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2026-07-21, version 1.61* Easy to navigate and use. ### 5/5 — If you want this app read this *2026-07-18, version 1.61* Simple but very effective I can now communicate with nonverbal kids and deaf children This app is also free which is great considering it takes in your own goals and makes sure they come true. ### 4/5 — This app is amazing but read this first *2026-07-12, version 1.61* Ok so I have 2 deaf people at my school and this has helped a lot but then when I got up to quantities I had to get the subscription?And I didn’t want to so I had to get a new app to learn some more but I will still be going on bright BSL at some points. I wanted to learn some more but couldn’t so I have to get a new app and I don’t want to search it up I want to learn I want to do the matching thing on the levels so thank you for reading this review and I hope you have a good time while you can be on it. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not free *2026-08-07, version 1.61* You can only have a few lessons for free then if you want to learn more you need to pay! ### 1/5 — Bad update :( *2026-08-05, version 1.61* The old version of this app it was amazing and great but now you have to pay to learn and they totally copied Duolingo on the set up I’m just speechless… ### 1/5 — So incredibly awful!! *2026-06-17, version 1.61* If i could give it 0 stars i would!! My friend downloaded this app in hopes to learn BSL.. HOWEVER they then TOOK £90 away from her!! completely outrageous she wanted to learn BSL for a little while but then just got money taken away from her? completely wrong and should be looked into as this is completely unacceptable as she now is £90 down and cannot afford daily payments, she got tricked into paying for a yearly subscription without her knowing she’s 17 with a child’s bank account and has been sent into overdraft ? completely NOT OK!! get this sorted ASAP 😡😡😡😡 ### 1/5 — awful app *2026-06-17, version 1.61* I downloaded this app in order to learn BSL for my college course, only to find out £90 had been taken out of my account without my knowledge!!! I am a 17 year old student and cannot afford nearly £100 taken from me. This is completely unacceptable and i am in outrage. I can no longer afford my daily necessities such as food as my money has been confiscated by this evil app. Wouldn’t recommend to a friend. Furious!!! ### 1/5 — DO NOT DOWNLOAD *2026-06-17, version 1.61* My friend has this app and they randomly got charged £90! ### 1/5 — Unable to uninstall *2026-03-22, version 1.59* I can’t uninstall the app because I don’t want to give you my email address ### 1/5 — No support *2025-12-19, version 1.59* No support after charged for a full year after forgetting to cancel free trial. Didn’t even use the app. ### 1/5 — Loved the app but it accesses your sensitive data?? *2025-11-10, version 1.59* Just went down to the data this app collects and it says "sensitive data"?? Why. It does not need to. I am now uninstalling because of that, which is unfortunate! ### 1/5 — It’s ok… *2025-09-12, version 1.59* Guys the app was good for a while until I got to numbers and then it wouldn’t let me do anything. I couldn’t continue learning. I couldn’t review what I learnt, I couldn’t use the flash cards it’s all wasted now ### 1/5 — Impossible to cancel, no communication *2025-06-28, version 1.55* The app is good enough if you don’t know any sign language at all and need a very basic intro, but I have found other apps to be much more useful and easier to learn with. More importantly, I have cancelled my subscription via my Apple account, emailed them to confirm that my subscription is cancelled, never heard back, and a year later, have been charged again. Not worth the money or the fact that they never let you cancel and just keep charging you every year. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Really great app *2026-08-16, version 1.61* Learning so much from this app ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-08-15, version 1.61* It is very nice, and I definitely recommend😊. ### 5/5 — One lesson millions of opportunities *2026-08-12, version 1.61* So I’m only 11 but my best friend is deaf and she has hearing aids but I used this app and I signed hello how is your day and she broke down crying in love because she had never met someone who could sign to her so that’s my story I hope this app can encourage other people to share their story’s and experiences through this app Thank you Sincerely ffion clark ### 5/5 — LOVE THE APP SO FAR *2026-08-07, version 1.61* I’m learning so much in such s little time and I find myself remembering the signs as well as understanding them. ### 5/5 — So good *2026-08-07, version 1.61* Soooooooo gooooooooood love it ### 5/5 — Amazing!! *2026-08-06, version 1.61* it works really well and its very helpful ### 5/5 — The app is so good and usefullll💗💗💗 *2026-08-03, version 1.61* This app is amazing and beginner free friendly and works at your own pace and it’s completely free so if you are looking on how to understand sign language, this app is perfect for you ☺️ ### 5/5 — Chell *2026-07-28, version 1.61* The app is great, it’s so easy to understand ### 5/5 — so good! *2026-07-27, version 1.61* this is such a good app! it really helps and is fun that you can stay on it and learn for hours on end. learning BSL is something that ive always wanted to do, and this app is the one that’s helped my improve the most and helped me be able to have a slow conversation with somebody ### 5/5 — Learning BSL *2026-07-27, version 1.61* I love this app and was really enjoying it but as there is no free version and I reached a point where I had to pay for it I could no longer do it, hopefully Duolingo will add it at some point as I already pay for that. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
