Review summary

Users appreciate the ASL Dictionary app for its extensive sign vocabulary, video playback features, and reliability as a learning tool. However, several reviews mention missing or regionally inconsistent signs, low video quality, and occasional connectivity issues when downloading new content. The app is praised for stability and offline use but could improve with added learning features and better updating to newer device compatibility.

Pros

Includes a large vocabulary of ASL signs and serves as a comprehensive dictionary.
Allows video playback with features like slow motion, looping, and offline access.
Helpful tool for both beginners and experienced ASL learners to refresh or improve skills.
Stable app performance without crashing issues.
Valued by users for communication aid and as a supportive learning resource.

Cons

Some vocabulary and regional signs are missing or outdated, leading to incomplete content.
Video quality is sometimes low or dark, making signs hard to see clearly.
App may require internet connection for new content despite data availability, causing user frustration.
Lack of certain features like favorites, in-app quizzes, or multiple video variants for phrases.
Compatibility issues on newer phones; may not retrieve signs properly after device upgrade.

2025-01-13	To*****	Neg: Missing a lot of vocab/ regional signs. Looked up "sin" today and didn't have it. "Sport" is different than the NE regional sign I know. Positives are you can slow down the video, doesn't crash, and the video can be put on repeat. I know a lot goes into an app, but when updates are made, besides improving performance, add more vocabulary. I've been signing daily for decades, but I'll still use a dictionary on occasion. Disappointed when signs are missing. Especially new ones like "Covid".

2024-01-10	Ju*****	I really like this app for someone who has taken ASL at school and wishes to improve. I just have no practice with individuals, sadly. But I love ASL!

2023-11-12	Ri*****	It's a interesting app. Why's it free now. Do buyer's get a redeemable code for the new asl dictionary app.

2023-06-16	Ja*****	Was told since I took one course I could use this ASL app. Lots of words and speed control on one section. A little hard to see and wish the speed could be altered on more of it. Still very nice of it to be a perk with Meredith's ASL online class. Thanks 6/16/2023

2022-07-17	St*****	Lots of words in this app. I've had it for over a decade probably. I notice there's an ASL dictionary HD...? Do people who purchased this app need to buy that one or is it basically the same with high def videos?

2022-04-28	La*****	Omgosh! AMAZING APP. Worth purchasing!!! - both my husband and I bought this app. It is incredibly useful. The visual dictionary is great. You can replay. Loop. Slow-mo... Love that you can use it offline too (and save it on your external storage). A must have for anyone trying to learn ASL. I use it every morning. I have seizures and aphasia - sometimes I can't speak/write/sign - and sometimes I can: this helps me communicate non-verbally. Ty ty ty designers! A++ (please add "favs" option) ;)
