2015-11-30	A *****	This application has everything I need to learn ALS. The Phrase section is terrific for everyday life with multiple translations. The interrupter has a nice pace and if need be I can slow the videos down. I have this on my Lenovo Tab 2 A10-70 10 inch Tablet with the latest OS - Lollipop 5 + and a SanDisk Ultra 64GB microSDXC UHS-I Card. This is a large program but it's packed with translations. Customer service is top notch and they will help with any problem you have quickly and efficiently simply by emailing them. Very well worth the price. I recommended it to anyone wanting to learn or brush up on their sign language. Vince.

As other reviewers noted, the signer in this version lacks essential, grammatical facial expressions. Also, I spent hours adding favorites so I could study them, but that just caused it to crash on my tablet every time I press the Favorites button to use them!?

Great App!
2014-08-22	A *****	Given that this is supposed to be, as the name says, an ASL dictionary, I'm disappointed with it. One of the categories is called "Idioms," but all it contains are English idioms. ASL idioms such as "train gone, sorry" and "finish touch" are nowhere to be found. Also, facial expressions are important in ASL, but are nowhere to be seen in these videos. Instead, the woman in the videos mouths every word she says, which I find distracting and annoying; I should be looking at what her hands are doing, but my eyes are drawn to her lips. So for example, if you ask a "what" question in ASL, your eyebrows should furrow. On the other hand, if you are using "what" rhetorically, your eyebrows should go up. But look up "what" in this dictionary, and the eyebrows don't move, but the lips mouth the English word "what" hugely and annoyingly. This would all be fine if this app were named "Pidgin Signed English Dictionary," but it's not. It's called "ASL Dictionary," and that's misleading. So I would suggest that the makers change the name to something more honest and appropriate. But I'll say this for it: at least it's cheap.
