Need to pay for the membership
This app is not the same as when you look up signing savvy. On the website it lets you look up a word and it will show you a video on how to sign the word. This app gives you a sign of the day and that’s it unless you pay for the membership. Skip the download and just go to your web browser.
Great App!
Great app for learning ASL. I hope they have more updates soon!
Great resource but terrible UI
This app has been so helpful as I’m taking ASL but it’s hard to ignore the layout of the app that makes it so hard to use. For example, When doing the flashcards and I want to hit the next arrow to go to the next card or reveal the answer, both arrows are so small and right next to each other that I end up hitting the back arrow constantly causing me restart my flashcards every time. This is one thing of many, but it is very infuriating. Though I’m not sure if this app is still updated.

Excellent app and website
This is a great ASL site, especially when you're looking for a sign. Often a word will have several different signs depending on what part of the country you live in, and Signing Savvy will show many or all of those signs. It's user-friendly. Much of it is free to use, but I find it to be worth paying for.

Buggy and Useless
I paid for a 3-year subscription to Signing Savvy just so I could use this app on my phone and iPad. It is slow (takes forever to log me in each time I open it) and the search function freezes all the time! I get half a word typed, it brings up a list of “results” (which is just a fingerspelling of the partial word I got to type), and then will not bring up th actual entry when I’ve finished typing the word. I then have to close and reopen the app, wait for it to log me in again…and every third or fourth time (if I’m lucky), it actually works. What a waste! I want my money back.

Account creating
I want to learn how to sign, in this app it doesn’t allow for full functionality. How do one sign up/login to create an account?
Bad App
I used to be a member. Then, after getting busy with work, I stopped. Recently I became a member again. It has been a nightmare. I certainly would not recommend it.
Problems: It tells me my password does not work. I must send a “forgotten password” request. Then, I can click on it and it opens the site via the email. Sometimes it will tell me I am signed in and sometimes it makes me reset it. Upon resetting it, I attempt to sign into the app, only to be told….the app doesn’t recognize my password or my email as a member. So, in order to use the app, I must jump through a bunch of hoops to do so. No other apps cause me this much grief. I purchased a 3 year membership and now feel very conned.
I have no idea what is going on and I contacted them and was told to take out special characters from my password (in other words, well….you know, make your login less security to actually use our app). I even attempted to do that, though I thought it ludicrous. Still, I can’t sign in. I don’t know if my refund will be granted (though I can’t be refunded for the time dealing with this) but at any rate, warning others of my experience might save other people from my frustration.

Nice app works well
Been very helpful for me
Great app No support
I love this app we use it as a lifeline for our son, but we had a failed login and reset the password and now we cannot login… which means we can only communicate in a limited way to our son bc we can’t remember all the words on his lists and variation!
This is horrible and we need technical support and there is none!

Login issue
Why I cannot sign in. Tried to rest password. Stating network not operating at this time? This app use to be free if used normally. You have the option to purchase 3 months, 6 months 1 year or 3 years. What happened to the free use?
Great app!
I got a free account through my library and it’s been a really cool resource to have with my asl knowledge from my class!
This app are worthless.
Where is our freedom dictionary? Unless you pay for member to access this app tho by savvy’s website.
So helpful
I love this app I do it every day I’m trying to learn because my brother is deaf but for the love of God ad a slow-mo feature or something they go way to fast sometimes and I like being able to see the whole person and how to be expressive and all but I can’t see there hands very well all of the time and they move them so fast because they’re pros so I can’t replicate…and that’s the most important part!

So love this app, except for one little thing!
A great way to learn any language, a word a day with example gloss video sentence, search for any word any time, and the word list you are allowed to create and share!
Oh yes, the one thing (to hopefully a savvy developer who's listening) to make this app really perfect you need to add a way to slow down the signing gloss example video. Some times the gloss sentence is long and she (your wonderful demonstrator) is fast! To fast for us slow poke wanna-be signers. If YouTube can do it, I know you can too.

Great app
We love the app and membership! Any updates would be greatly appreciated (watch, widgets)!
Good app but infuriating GUI
Signing Savvy. I am begging you to remove the "Logout" button from right above the search bar. I look up a lot of signs and I sign myself out accidentally at least 5 times a day. Why is that even there?! Why isn't it stored deep in the app settings like literally every other app? You don't need to log out every time you close the app.

The best
It’s a great recommendation from my teacher
65 years old and losing my hearing
I want to be a member and savvy how do I go about doing it
It even says “Member” in the title. Just saying.
I don’t mind having to pay because I understand apps take work to program etc etc.
CONS:
Although mine freezes up after a bit it usually don’t have an issue after resetting my iPad.
I wish they would have some examples of sentences for the words. This would help sometimes when the definition doesn’t.
PROs:
Love being able to make lists. I sign the songs at church and this has been amazing to be able to make a list with the words in one place.
I like that the video plays on a loop. I have used a website before that didn’t do this and this has been a been help when I need to practice a lot.

Does not open on iPad!
I’ve been a fan of Signing Savvy for years. Was so excited to be able to use it in my iPad, as I’ve begun interpreting in church. With so much symbolism & allegories in religion, thought this would be the ticket to help me out in a pinch.
So disappointed in the lack of technology, that your site seems to have issues with mobility inaccessible.
What is the point of PAYING for a service which CANNOT DELIVER !
