### 1/5 — No English option

*2026-08-25, version 5.2.6*

When I open the app pop up different languages

### 1/5 — Don’t use

*2026-08-25, version 5.2.6*

Halfway through the second thing you have to pay for it it’s so unfair that you had to pay for it halfway through the second lesson some people can’t afford to pay for it and that’s why they thought it was free. That was me. Don’t buy.

### 5/5 — I am hearing impaired.

*2026-08-25, version 5.2.6*

I never learned sign language before. I am absolutely loving this product! I would like to have it on my tablet as well as my phone. Do you have to pay for it twice.please advise.

### 1/5 — Way overpriced

*2026-08-23, version 5.2.6*

Great app. In fact, it’s the best ASL app I’ve ever used but the price is insane. At its cheapest  it’s $120 a year. It should be $120 for life like a textbook.

### 1/5 — Paying

*2026-08-22, version 5.2.6*

It’s good for the first chappter and then you have to pay. So you can’t get a good app without paying .

### 5/5 — First time learner

*2026-08-20, version 5.2.6*

I have found it very helpful and easy to use and understand

### 5/5 — Great

*2026-08-20, version 5.2.6*

This app helped me out a lot. I’m not deaf myself, but this was definitely a great experience for me highly recommend five stars.

### 5/5 — Excited

*2026-08-20, version 5.2.6*

This is amazing I’m learning. And having fun doing it I can’t wait to have a conversation with so one it’s going to be so awesome I can’t wait to be able to meet new friends

### 1/5 — $$$

*2026-08-20, version 5.2.6*

Never even learned how to sign “you money hungry”

### 2/5 — Misleading - not free

*2026-08-20, version 5.2.6*

This app is well laid out and easy to use. I found it easy to learn from…for the first level and a half, then you can no longer progress without paying.
