Was my daughters favorite
This was my daughters favourite ASL story until it stopped functioning on her iPad iOS 11. We were told it would be fixed by Feb 2018. It’s now June .
Please update the app to be compatible with iOS 11
I really enjoy this app and can’t use it on iOS 11.
iOS 11
The Baobab hasn’t been updated to run with iOS 11 :(. Hopefully This gets fixed soon!
Excellent!
This is an excellent app! It's great for every level of ASL user. I'm enjoying it and my 6 year old loves it and has learned many new vocabulary words from this charming book. Please make more.
Review by teacher and illustrator
Things that could be improved: the facial expressions of the girl are difficult to read and do not match the facial expressions of the signer telling the story. The mask on the face of the girl is ridiculous. The signer blocks the view of the girl or other characters quite often. The coloring while nicely done is too pastel. The signing, while well done, is much higher than your typical young deaf child with hearing parents who barely sign.
Suggestions: it would be helpful to have a simplified signing option for young children who are deaf and have hearing parents. This way the child could start with the simplified signing. I know from experience young children with limited signing skills will not engage as readily with this type of a signer and book. It's better for them to see it acted out by signers.
I do applaud the use of the app medium to creat signing books in ASL and English. Your price is much too high for an app. I, too, develop apps for children and I have learned the price needs to stay below $3 if you really want parents and teachers to buy the app. Good luck with these apps. It is a good idea.
