Sign Language Learning

Best sign language app ever, it helped with learning and comparing other sign languages visually and gestures. Especially for traveling or if ASL doesn’t have one sign but other sign languages do have.

Excellent

I often tend to cross check with other apps and I find it is one you can depend on.

Thank you

This app makes it so much easier to find the sign you’re looking for. However, it freezes A LOT. I would happily pay a fee if it didn’t.

Good soup

My first ASL teacher had us use this and I find it incredibly helpful!

Very Useful App

I like using the ASL dictionary because it helps me to understand the ASL I’m learning from different regions and areas.
