User reviews

NZSL

Hey this is a really cool app and has helped me learn sign language pretty fast and I am teaching my friends and family it’s a must do

Love it

As an avid NZSL learner, I’ve found this as a great way to build vocabulary. I would however like to see a “more information” button explaining the context of how a particular sign is used like the website, but other than that, this app is great.

Missing Te Reo Māori

I wish I reached for this app more often, but sadly I prefer the website. The app is not optimised for newer devices so it is a very clunky and unsightly experience. I also miss the Māori translations that the website provides (they do not appear for me as shown in the app preview photographs). The one good thing about this app is that the videos play automatically!

Great app but needs newer iOS support

Have been using this with our autistic primary school students as great support, but recently noticed the videos don’t seem to be supported using my iPhone 8 Plus device. Previously used iPhone 6 Plus fine but that only went up to iOS 12.
I myself am a very visual person and learned well from the videos to show the kids. Hope it’s able to be fixed. 🤗
