Decent, but sometimes the hand gesture pictures are confusing

### 4/5 — ok

*2022-12-29, version 1.0*

so i got it to communicate better with deaf people to be nice yk. it is very good but doesn't teach you hello, thank you and things like that.

*2021-12-13, version 1.0*

It doesn’t have that big of a variety of things to learn

### 4/5 — Great

*2021-11-15, version 1.0*

this app is awesome I recommend it but it could have animal signs and more family signs

### 4/5 — Helpful

*2021-10-20, version 1.0*

I’m volunteering with disabled children so decided it was time to learn some sing language. This app is great and after 10 mins I learnt how to introduce myself and ask general questions like how are you and what have you been up to 

Overall defo recommended 

No many adverts either which is a bonus

### 4/5 — Good for the basics

*2020-12-19, version 1.0*

I’m trying to learn bsl because it’s a useful skill and this app is helpful but limited

### 4/5 — Kind of

*2020-07-23, version 1.0*

You have to pay for the full experience but it’s worth it I recommend if you only want the basics

### 5/5 — BSL app

*2020-07-03, version 1.0*

I have found it very useful as I am doing a BSL course so can practice the letters and numbers  Thank you Lesley

### 3/5 — Very limiting

*2020-05-29, version 1.0*

The basics are how I like to learn of an evening but only really have numbers and letters the tutorial are good.The app  would be so much better if had so many more options.

### 5/5 — Really Amazing Useful App!!!

*2020-04-14, version 1.0*

This is a really good app because my sister is death and my name is Jack and my sister is called Layla but I couldn’t understand her. My sister is only 5 and I am 8 so because of this app now I can talk to her and she can talk back, she hasn’t talked for while because she was born like it I’ve told the family and everyone that she know to get the app!!!😊😊😊

### 1/5 — Bogus app?

*2026-01-22, version 1.0*

WARNING? Paid for upgrade. Content was then unavailable. Any links to contact app provider has multiple warnings for it being unsafe website/bad gateway!

### 1/5 — No way

*2025-05-08, version 1.0*

Do not download this app it is useless to learn as it only has a couple lessons and it’s not clear on what to do. If I didn’t all ready know some of the sights I would be doing it completely wrong.

### 1/5 — Upgrade

*2024-03-19, version 1.0*

I paid for the upgrade but nothing has changed. I still have the basic sign!

### 1/5 — ??

*2023-02-06, version 1.0*

i purchased the upgrade in hopes to further my knowledge but nothing changed. may i have a refund?

### 1/5 — UPGRADE = WASTE OF MONEY

*2022-09-04, version 1.0*

The free version is an ok app with basic signs. 

Conned me into upgrading with the promise of more signs. All it did was stop the ads. 

Scam; exploiting parents, carers and people who depend on signs for day to day comms. 

AVOID.

### 1/5 — No extra signs when upgrading

*2022-05-19, version 1.0*

Wanted to start teaching my son sign language as he has a medical condition that means he will very likely lose his hearing. 
Upgraded to get all the signs but didn’t get any extra. 
Wasn’t clear at all that the upgrade only stopped ads (only found that out after reading these reviews). 
So not much on here that we can use for him

### 1/5 — Poor app

*2021-12-11, version 1.0*

Waste of money. To even the basic words like hello!
Please take notice of the more negative reviews as they are correct for sure. 
Would not have given 1 star but only way to submit a review!

### 1/5 — CON

*2020-03-16, version 1.0*

Paid for upgrade(£2.99) and got nothing extra. Definitely do not recommend

### 1/5 — BSL

*2020-01-11, version 1.0*

Dreadful amount of vocabulary and does not provide enough numbers.no in laws or cousins on family signs and just generally awful

### 1/5 — DONT BUY THIS APP

*2019-01-19, version 1.0*

So irritated at this app
I thought this would be a good app to learn sign language but it only has like 10 very basic signs so I spent £3 upgrading the app to unlock more signs but there was no more unlocked. Total rip off. The only thing you get with paying more is no ads which are infrequent any way. Very disappointed!
