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. 🤗

App

The app is good but if you go to (nzsl dictionary) it will work faster and I like it more

Needs to support newer devices,

Just got this app, to start learning NZSL. But it isn’t formatted for newer iOS devices. But will still give it a go. And see what I can learn

Good place to start

Just downloaded, just wanting to start to learn. The videos don’t seem to be able to load though or take ages and I give up waiting.
The graphics seem ok to understand so far

Terrific app, needs some incremental improvement

I'm loving this app, which I'm using to teach myself and my baby NZSL together. It's excellent and so helpful; I'm in it every day for help and support.
The points annon01 makes in their review are excellent and I agree with them.
Most of all what I need is a method of saving words - I'm focusing on a batch of words at any time, and it's bothersome to be looking them up and I tend to forget them until I need them. Having no way of saving my focus words is holding back my learning. It would be hugely helpful to have an editable list of saved words.
Would be grateful for a larger screen size compatible with bigger iPhones like the iPhone X. Thank you

Incredible

Amazing app, maybe add a list of basics for people trying to learn sign but great app

Great ap

But I’d like to be able use videos without internet and string words for small sentence than just find a word,

Great easy informative app

Great app, easy to use and fast to find the different signs I’m looking for. Just wish there was a feature to add to a favourite list so I could view the signs I’ve searched for on one quick reference list. Thanks

Wow

I can’t believe that not only u have the words with the sign for it, you can use it to translate sign into words. Amazing 10/10. I use this app against my friends for fun

Awesome

I've always been interested in sign language but now really motivated to learn so that I can teach my baby. What an amazing app.. Diagrams, videos and even has the maori words too! And it's free - even more amazing. Five stars!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

App crashes

New version of app crashes when searching "work hard".

Good for reference

Love this app to reference things as I am learning NZ sign. But every so often I'll look a sign up and the app just closes down. It doesn't matter if I restart it, same sign just won't open! Other than that it's good :)

Thank you, thank you, thank you

App functions like a dream. Amazing that all entries appear to ve accompanied by a video which makes it soooooo good for learning and the confidence that you are doing it sign well.

One more time, thank you.

Disapponted

Hi. After the last upgrade, the only word that appears is 'the word of the day'. There are no other words available. I have deleted and reinstalled the app but the problem still exists.

I have emailed app support as well as the gentlemen that have put the app together. To date no word, no fix. Unfortunately its an app I will have to delete as it does not work.

great tool for New Zealand sign

As a speech therapist who was trained overseas, this has been so helpful for learning NZ sign,

I use this info daily.

I'm sure it's right...

For all of those One Star reviews for having incorrect signs... Keep in mind this is New Zealand Sign Language, not American Sign Language (which is clearly stated in the description).

Brilliant

This would be the second app of yours I have downloaded, and I absolutely find them BRILLIANT. Easy to follow :)
Thank you yet again.
