### 2/5 — Need to pay for the membership

*2025-10-31, version 2.6*

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.

### 3/5 — Great resource but terrible UI

*2024-12-11, version 2.6*

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.

### 2/5 — Login issue

*2022-01-19, version 2.6*

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?

### 4/5 — So helpful

*2021-09-01, version 2.6*

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!

### 3/5 — Good app but infuriating GUI

*2020-11-04, version 2.6*

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.

### 4/5 — It even says “Member” in the title. Just saying.

*2019-02-27, version 2.6*

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.

### 4/5 — 2-year member

*2018-05-31, version 2.4*

I like signing savvy enough that after more than two years I am still a paying member. Our world was expanded when our youngest daughter was born and has a ton of different medical complexities. One of them has caused us to learn and speak sign language within the home. Signing savvy has made it very easy and convenient to look up new signs and study. I love that I can make my own word lists because I like to make word list categories for different activities, ie: camping, birthday parties, library, etc. and add in words that fit that category. I then study those lists (if needed) before those activities, to ensure she is getting that input, input, input. Only problems I have is there are some words that are missing and word lists do not hold your place. Other than that I love the app.

### 4/5 — Awesome app!! But can be frustrating.

*2017-12-21, version 2.4*

I love this app! But...could you please make the Arrow, to turn go to the next flash card, larger?!  If you miss it, you have to start all over :( or move it up for on the iPhone screen? Thanks!!

### 3/5 — Great Resource

*2017-10-31, version 2.3*

I’ve use this app for years. It’s wonderful for people who are visual and need an actual video instead of just pictures. 

However the new upgrade does not allow auto correct. It’s exceedingly frustrating to type on such a small keyboard every letter exactly correct. Time-consuming & slow going.

### 5/5 — Update Needed

*2017-09-20, version 1.5.2*

Please update for iOS 11

### 5/5 — PLEASE UPDATE ‼️‼️‼️‼️

*2017-09-20, version 1.5.2*

I NEED THIS APP FOR MY ASL CLASS & I LOVE IT! PLEASE UPDATE ASAP💙💙💙

### 5/5 — Update please!!!!!!!!!

*2017-08-20, version 1.5.2*

The last update was in 2014- please update this app so that it will work with the current iPhone running system, otherwise I will have to delete the app, and that would be a sad day! I love this app!!!!

### 1/5 — Buggy and Useless

*2023-11-11, version 2.6*

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.

### 1/5 — Account creating

*2023-10-01, version 2.6*

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?

### 1/5 — Bad App

*2023-07-28, version 2.6*

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.

### 1/5 — Great app No support

*2022-02-06, version 2.6*

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!

### 1/5 — This app are worthless.

*2021-11-09, version 2.6*

Where is our freedom dictionary? Unless you pay for member to access this app tho by savvy’s website.

### 1/5 — Does not open on iPad!

*2019-01-09, version 2.6*

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 !

### 1/5 — Broken

*2018-02-23, version 2.4*

Downloaded tried to sign in with my account and it says you have to have a paid account. This is fine but now no matter if I close the app or anything it only takes you to the login screen. So no longer even to see just the daily sign. Sad but trying to log in blocks you from using it

### 1/5 — It’s not loading

*2018-02-22, version 2.4*

It won’t load up. It’s up to date and my iPad is too. Please fix

### 1/5 — Don't get this app unless you wanna pay

*2016-02-04, version 1.5.2*

Just use their website. Why create an app if you have to pay a huge amount of money. I would have bought the app for 8 bucks but a monthly fee? Nah.

### 1/5 — Horrible App!

*2015-11-20, version 1.5.2*

Freaking waste of my time on this junk, have to pay? Seriously?! C'mon! This app deserves no stars at all, but since I can't do that, I have to give it a 1.

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2025-04-21, version 2.6*

Great app for learning ASL. I hope they have more updates soon!

### 5/5 — Excellent app and website

*2024-01-18, version 2.6*

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.

### 5/5 — Nice app works well

*2022-08-20, version 2.6*

Been very helpful for me

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2022-01-05, version 2.6*

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!

### 5/5 — So love this app, except for one little thing!

*2021-07-03, version 2.6*

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.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2021-01-19, version 2.6*

We love the app and membership! Any updates would be greatly appreciated (watch, widgets)!

### 5/5 — The best

*2020-01-06, version 2.6*

It’s a great recommendation from my teacher

### 5/5 — 65 years old and losing my hearing

*2019-12-31, version 2.6*

I want to be a member and savvy how do I go about doing it

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2017-10-18, version 2.3*

I love the new features and the example of a sentence in English and ASL glossed sentence. I’ve been a member for over five years and just love it.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2017-10-16, version 2.2*

This is a great app to use for looking up signs and sign variations for ASL class. Very easy to use and I love the member features for word lists, ASL sentence, English sentence, word bank. 
Sign of the day is super helpful too in practicing the sign in a sentence.  

My one suggestion for making word lists is to be able to easily move signs  around and add a new sign anywhere in the list easily.
