### 5/5 — Idk how this app is free

*2022-12-20, version 1.65.12*

This is such an amazing app. I cannot believe it’s free. Of course you have the option to take private lessons if you’d like 1 on 1 time and to improve more rapidly, but honestly a leisurely pace of the free classes has been more than enough for me learning ASL. There are video modules as well as free classes, all full of excellent information. And there are LOTS of topics to study. Hands down, best app on my phone.

### 5/5 — Great

*2022-09-29, version 1.65.12*

The class was super nice. Teacher super friendly and helpful. And happy the now I can sign a song to my little son using sign language. Love it!

### 1/5 — Garbage app does not work

*2022-08-16, version 1.65.12*

This app literally doesn’t work on iOS. I had to cancel two lessons and spend a bunch of time troubleshooting. I called them and they said the app isn’t working on iOS! Why were we not notified. And why would they make updates without testing on iOS. Stay away from the app, and stay away from take lessons. There are plenty of other competitors that don’t waste your time.

### 5/5 — Just completed my first class

*2022-06-26, version 1.65.12*

I found the APP last night and just completed my first English class! Fantastic! Totally awesome and extremely helpful!

### 1/5 — If the app doesn’t work it’s on you.

*2022-05-16, version 1.65.12*

TakeLessons the company does not stand by this app and will provide you with zero support if it doesn’t work or breaks during a lesson. My wife recently missed the first 15 minutes of an hourlong (and not cheap) private lesson because the TakeLessons app wasn’t syncing properly with our account, so she had to monkey around with Zoom links and do the lesson that way. It was a known issue, TakeLessons agreed that their app broke and that was why my wife missed part of the lesson, but they would not refund her the cost of the lesson or take any other action. Their response was, “Don’t use the app then.”

TakeLesson’s explicit policy is that the app is as-is, if it breaks then it’s on you and the instructor to figure something else out. If that causes an unacceptable delay then you can either cancel the lesson or just eat the loss of time.

TakeLessons the service is good. I’ve only ever used it to set up private lessons but have done that for several years. I’ve found instructors for a variety of topics both for myself, my spouse, and my kids. But what I like about it is that it’s all unified into one calendar and interface. If I need to manage my own calendar entries and correspondence and Zoom links and such, then it’s not clear what service the company is really providing over just arranging stuff with the instructor through email without an intermediary skimming money off the top.

### 1/5 — Needs work

*2022-05-10, version 1.65.12*

The you can’t rotate your screen vertically  which makes it uncomfortable.  And they don’t let you see yourself properly on the screen . You get a small window to see yourself but it’s so small . I want to make my window bigger to see if my singing face matches with the teacher but the won’t let you .

### 2/5 — Unhappy Student

*2021-10-09, version 1.65.11*

I’d been taking free and paid private ASL classes for almost ten years, and I just recently learned Microsoft ‘acquired’ TakeLessons, and now I’ve lost my Premium membership because, “It just wasn’t sustainable.” Now I can only watch and listen but can neither participate nor use the Chat Box even though it says: Chat is in view only mode for Basic members.” Learning ASL was neurotherapy for me after a near fatal hemorrhagic stroke. It was also my social connection to the outside world. My therapist wants me to reconnect with my ASL students, but obviously I can’t.

### 5/5 — I love this app

*2021-06-22, version 1.65.6*

I love this app I have one suggestion that there’s another subject added song writing classes because I would go to it because I write songs but need help with writing songs

### 5/5 — AMAZING

*2021-04-15, version 1.64.3*

I take ASL class on this app and it’s so fun and eat to learn! I normally have a bunch of stress over new things but this is my second class and I’m already having stress-free!

### 5/5 — Another great class

*2020-11-17, version 1.60.1*

Denise had another great class ,she always takes the time to explain never impatient ,and try’s her best to get to everyone in the class
