Fix bug

User reviews

quick learning great!

i only just downloaded the app and went through a couple of things, i can say it is a great way of learning quickly, aswell as knowing common daily things in sign.

(just a suggestion) I would add a section of questions though, like a quiz for people to answer, i find that also helps to learn fast and makes the app more interactive!

GUI improvement request

Many people that suffer hearing loss also suffer from dizziness. The GUI of this app forces users to go from portrait mode to landscape mode to portrait mode after every short video. Trying to learn with this app triggers my motion sickness.

Please change this so the phone can stay in one mode. There is no reason these videos need to be in landscape mode, or the GUI cannot be in landscape mode.

I would love to use the app.
Thank you

Response from developer

Thank you for the suggestion. I did not think about that, for now I had make the whole app landscape. Later if I get help from any UI/UX person, I will update accordingly.

great app!

I will be studying abroad this summer in Kyoto, and I made it a mission to learn at least basic JSL so I can interact with deaf/HoH locals or students I meet! So I really appreciate this free app that lets me practice with videos that I can replay any time. Thank you so much :)

AMAZING 凄い

Great for English and Japanese speakers alike, this app teaches JSL completely for free with no ads and it has hiragana/katakana/kanji as well as English translations. Would give more stars if I could!
英語と日本語の両方を話す人に最適なこのアプリは、JSL を広告なしで完全に無料で教え、ひらがな/カタカナ/漢字と英語の翻訳を備えています。できればもっと星をあげます! (下手な日本語でごめんなさい、翻訳機を使っています)
