Very very expensive subscription compared to other learning apps... while having less features. There's pretty much no free version. I wish it were just a flat rate paid app because getting slapped with the sub plan popup first thing-- a week trial with plans only between $30-$90, no less-- made it feel kind of vampiric. The trial was nice and I liked the simplicity of the layout, but the cost is way outside of my means.

I've tried other apps although they are equally helpful this asl app is more in depth. they actually use the sign in sentences. but as you progress you are forced to purchase I understand that people need to get paid for their services but for this of us who have to budget and are losing hearing and need our want to learn it to not be a recluse. it kinda is a bummer not being able to find a decent app that actually explains it all more or less for free. when I get rich I will purchase this.

The app stopped tracking my progress on the last lesson section, froze on the same quiz over and over, and won't show lessons that have already been completed. I like the information it has available, but the app itself doesn't work so I'm frustrated that I'm paying for it. It quizzes you on information it hasn't taught yet, and neglects important context information. The available sign dictionary is also limited. I still have to look up a lot online.

Easy, fun, & addicting. I've tried several ASL apps, this one is the best price and best design. No ads. The "streak" inspires me to open the app every day! & I like that there's a slow down button so I can decipher sentences on the 1st attempt. Only thing I miss about a different app is in the sign bank, they'd give tips for remembering the sign like "ice cream: imagine licking an ice cream come." And other variations of the word, such as "finish" and "cry" having a single hand sign as well.

I know that mouthing words, and lip-reading is a huge part of sign, but at the same time I wish that the instructors didn't mouth their words while signing. Occasionally I'll find myself understanding by lip reading rather than by the signs, and don't want to rely explicitly on that. Other than that, it's a very helpful app, and one of the better ones for learning sign, and basic asl communication.

I'd rate it five stars except premium costs a lot, like more than premium on other language apps, and you need it to unlock almost all the lessons on there. Also, in the word bank, a lot of words aren't included, such as Duck, and Carrot. The word bank would be a nice way around the premium issue, but since it doesn't have a lot of words/phrases it's hard to even use that to learn. This is kind of funny when their mission is apparently to spread learning of ASL far and wide. Maybe it's too new..

It's definitely a journey to learn a new language, and I didn't realize how in-depth it would be. Using the "speed" button to slow down the videos has helped A LOT. I try to remind myself I'm not just learning another language "in english", I am learning an entirely new language. The flash card and practice buttons have helped a ton (I'm left handed, so that in and of itself has been a struggle). This has been helping me learn new things faster than I thought was possible! Love it 😄

It was really good until you're faced with a mandatory yearly subscription of $100. The price could be justified for a one-time payment for such a complete and interactive course, but not for every year afterward. The money might be an incentive to become fluent during that year, to avoid paying for another year after it. 3 stars, might consider it later.

Nice effort. So many people want to learn sign. But like any language app, it can only teach you one way of saying something when there are many ways to say the same or similar things. So get out and meet the natives! It's the only way to learn! It's a little English-y as well with mouthing and for example "fine"and "I'm "fine". You can say "I'm fine"with one sign. It's about context, body language, facial expression. The instructors know this, but making it easier for English speakers to learn

This app is very well organized and easy to navigate. Even without the premium version, the app lets me learn the basics of what I need to communicate with others. I also enjoy the pre-recorded small videos showing me how to do the sign, rather than some generated picture of some hands with arrows trying to tell me how to do it, like some other apps I've found. You're doing great!! Keep up the nice work.
