User reviews

was fun

Edit: locked up at Level 109. Was fun and helpful while it lasted.

Bug

I was really liking this game! Fun way to practice ASL! But then all the bubbles seem to just fall and the level isn’t complete and there’s no other way for me to complete the level since there are no more bubbles needing popped. So I’m stuck on level 69….

Buggy

I really liked the game until it started randomly dropped all the bubbles and won't let you finish a level. It's really frustrating to see the app hasn't been updated in nine months. Otherwise it's a fun app to supplement my ASL learning

Almost Love.

I have been learning ASL for a while as I’m going deaf and I find this app is a great tool. My reason for giving only 3 stars is because the game is stuck on 108. I have sent emails in hope of some resolution but nothing. Please fix this issue I really want to learn more asl.

Good, but doesn’t work well

The overall app is great for learning ASL, but the bubbles don’t always pop and the aim is always off
