From what I've seen and been able to do on my phone, it looks like it will be a very useful app. I would rate it a 5, but it won't completely work on my tablet (if I tell it I'm really on a phone, all but the quiz works. If I tell it I'm on a tablet, it dies.)
Reviews for ASL Dictionary - Sign Language
← Back to ASL Dictionary - Sign Languagethis app is pretty good, but is there any way you guys could add a way to make it play through a randomly sorted list of all of the words? Or to be able to mark words as resolved/learned so they don't show up in the random list? Or to have a word of the day?
This app is exceptional for sign language. We have been using it for several years to help add vocabulary for our Autistic son. It is very user friendly and intuitive. I really like the videos and the ability to slow to whatever speed works for you. Customer support is also awesome if you have any additional needs or questions they are answered quickly. Thank you so much for this app!
My hearing has always been a little off. My hearing is at about 60%-80% of what it should be. I have to watch people's mouths along with listening in order to understand what they are saying. About 90% of the time, if I can't see your mouth, I can't understand you. I bought this app at a moment my hearing was at about 30%-50%. I am greatly appreciating the help this app is giving with my lip reading skills. I may need them one day. It will be good to be fluent in lip reading along with the ASL.
Is there still no fee for downloading and using this incredible app when offline? 10/10/2023. I left the app on. Somehow it is functioning well again. Not too long after 11/2022. This posted 05/2023. Thank you for not charging on your portion of this educational app. I paid for one course through Meridith on You Tube. I hope this is the right app. If not it is still my prefrence so far. 05/10/23.
Never seen some of these words. I like the quiz portion but more if it would quiz me on my favs that I actually picked. would be even better if she didnt say anything during the videos. I have to cover her face and concentrate on the signs. other than that this is a pretty great app.
Excellent quality videos, the loop and slow motion replay tools are extremely useful. Could use a bit of an update to stay current, things like 'Covid', 'pandemic', 'climate', or 'global' for example. Overall though a pretty good tool for learning.
can you make a setting where I can write notes that help me remember each one. something that shows up like a caption banner. there are a lot of signs that I have a "and that's how I'll remember this one" thought, but there's more I'd like to write down on some words. that way when I'm drilling my favorite word vocabulary, I have notes that show up without giving me the answer
It's great having an extensive, clear dictionary like this at my fingertips. I consult it all the time. One thing I struggle with is differentiating signs that have similar motions, like SAY and TRUE or WHEN and ABOUT (those are simple ones but it happens to me with a lot of new signs). I'd love it if you added a feature to flip back and forth between two signs so the user can directly compare them!
App is decent for learning, but is buggy. Last 6 months my Favorite category keeps causing app to crash. Customer support only told me to uninstall/reinstall and restart phone. Told them I already tried that (as if I didn't know to do so already) and then never responded back. Terrible customer support for a paid app. Read through reviews and customer support is super arrogant. Blaming the customers saying "app works fine, uninstall/install and restart phone." BECAUSE WE HAVENT DONE THAT! 🤬
If you want this app for the ability to look up ASL signs without an internet connection. This is not the app for you. It constantly has errors with the downloaded files. I have countless times tried to download the entire collection and later find out I can't view the video files offline.
I am new beginner. Love the app But have to look up every single word. So when you hit the X to back out a word you still have to hit that box again for the keyboard to pop up. The angle of which is hands show is so straightforward that I have to replay slow motion alot to see what her side of her hands are doing. If camera angle was from higher I think that would help a bunch. Would be 5 stars if not for those 2 things.
Purchase first with iPhone, then again with Android when switched phones. I asked and was told I had to purchase again. Unfortunately, all the better updates are on the iPhone none on Android . No option to cover mouth during quize, can't rearrange favorites in order and freezes often. I also read there are improved test too. Five star on iPhone not on Android. I wish I didn't know what I was missing. I paid twice thinking the app was the same. Disappointing!
Love it! ...even though "lizard" is missing (my toddler asked for that word of all things). Well you can't have everything — you can't even have "lizard" in your ASL app. Anyhow: Well worth the price! I just wish the app had an option to loop through a practice list!...and the word "lizard." Edit: just noticed dev's helpful clarification (in 2020 to my 2019 comment). Thanks dev!
This app is one of the best I've found for asl learning individual words. Uses a real person signing which is so helpful. One tiny thing I'd like to point out is the categories lists miss out one or two words like under Colour there is no pink in the list even though its in the dictionary. I'd definitely recommend this app.
It's a fine, very basic dictionary, but unfortunately, it's not what I needed.
I am just getting started with ASL. I have two suggestions. 1) As a dictionary it seems to be good, however it badly needs a "Commonly used phrases" section (like Good Morning, I am hungry, How are you, What is your name etc.). Without that, we are just learning words without context and that can make it tough to learn. 2) Option to create multiple custom lists. The 'favorite' list option is there, but it's limited. If I can create custom lists like countries, animals, birds etc it would helpful
The Best ASL Dictionary App here! I'm looking forward to having more words/signs added in the future. Software Studios, do you have plans on making a kid version of this with large colorful illustrations just so kids who are hard of hearing can easily know what the sign is for? I bought this app so I could teach my niece but It'd be better if she could access it just as easily - with the help of real and/or cartoon images. Having a flashcard feature would be neat and I'd gladly buy it!
At first, this feels absolutely amazing. Then one day, I get the 1995 American Sign Language: Hymns for Signing and can't find all the words in a single hymn I decided to try. Between books and the Internet, I've got most of them... Hymn 451. Try it yourself.
I looked and looked, and this was the best ASL dictionary I could find. I was happy to support this app, and it has been phenomenal. It doesn't have all the words I look up, but that is to be expected. There is one thing, though: when I go to my favorites category, the app crashes. All of the other categories work. It only crashes when I click on favorites.
