The ASL App

My two. Sibling are deaf and I needed to learn and this helps a lot

I've been curious about learning ASL for a while so I was glad to find this app. First of all, it's free, so I could get a sense of things before I spent any money. Secondly, the app design is easy to use, looks nice (unlike many of the other apps out there, even paid ones, which are ugly as sin!) and has good features. The videos are clear, well-produced, and I like the different options to be able to see the alphabet signs Hand Only, With Shoulder, or With Face. I like the different people featured in the videos - their personalities come through and this helps to illustrate how important facial expression is while signing. I like the fact that you can Favorite items for quick reference later, and watch videos in slow motion. So far I have only been using the free chapters, but I will probably buy the bundle eventually to unlock all the signs! Finally, I appreciate the FAQ/About pages in this app. They give great info about the Deaf community and about how to use the app and why the app was produced. It's very well done. I feel informed and also part of something. What I feel is missing from the app is the ability to test your comprehension skills. For example, go into "practice" mode (vs "learning" mode) and after seeing a video of a random sign, you have to type out the word/phrase. Or the app gives you a phrase and you have to select the correct combination of signs from a list. I feel this feature would allow people to gain confidence in their ASL skills. Right now, for me as a beginner, it's fun to watch and learn a few new things, but I wouldn't feel comfortable saying "I know some ASL" or getting involved in the Deaf community. If that feature could be added I think this app could really be perfect!

Won’t download to update as it request

I’ve learned a lot. $10 isn’t much for help learning a new language. Demonstrations are well done. Found this app recommended by an national ASL organization so I got it to use. Really cool that the developers are deaf. My biggest struggle is they use multiple signs for the same word. My new deaf friend tells me some of them are old signs and don’t use those use the new signs. Would be nice to have consistency. A religious category would be amazing. I have a hard time with the slow motion feature. You have to start video then hit Turtle each time if you replay video it goes back to full speed even though the Turtle it still highlighted. Also the option for a more flash card style review would be very helpful! Keep working on improvements and it can be amazing.

I learned basic things on here like ABCs, numbers, and the colors of the rainbow. I didn’t use this app for a year and I want to learn more now but it keeps kicking me out of the app. My wifi is good the app doesn’t need to be updated. I bought something from the app ($10) to learn more a while ago so I would like to keep using this app. Why isn’t it working please help me thank you

Ok so for the people who’s device isn’t working specifically on a tablet delete the app and re-download it I had the same problem if that doesn’t work I don’t know what to tell you now developers listen up If you want people to use this app deaf and hearing alike do not scam do not cheat this app has great potential please listen, pun unintentional.👌🏻👌🏻 shoot for five stars🏁🏁

Every time I try to open the app, it automatically closes. I always thought it’s a great app, but this has happened before, not sure why is happening, but it is happened again. Please fix app. Thank you!!

I’ve just downloaded this app inspired to learn ASL. Considering the “purchase pack” option included full access, i went ahead and purchased as mentioned price of $9.99 usd. It ended up charging me $17.13usd!! How ridiculous!! Developers would you mind explaining why i was over charged?! Users beware of pricing. Rating 4/5

I love this app. It is as essential as any app can be. I wanted to suggest something. Do you have a gun safety section of sign language to include in some place? This is an excellent way to help possible victims communicate with each other. Just a thought. Happy Holidays to you all.

Lots of incorrect signs, I went on this app to help me learn ASL faster and I am currently taking ASL in school and being taught by a deaf teacher. When I was using it and I noticed a handful of signs where wrong. I do not recommend this app
