Review summary

Users praise the app for its high-quality sign videos, helpful learning tools, and overall usefulness for ASL students. However, many report frustrating bugs, especially crashes when opening favorites and issues with offline video playback. Customer support responsiveness is also a concern, and some users expect more features like custom lists and phrase sections. Android users note differences from the iOS version, including missing updates and stability problems. Despite flaws, the app is generally valued for its educational content and usability.

Pros

Clear, high-quality videos with real people signing, including useful features like slow motion and loop replay.
Works well for ASL learners and students; user-friendly and intuitive design.
Ability to use the app offline (though some issues exist) and a broad dictionary of signs.
Responsive developers who sometimes help with issues and provide clarifications.
Useful quiz and study features, including alphabet-based sign lists.

Cons

Frequent app crashes, especially when accessing the 'Favorites' category.
Offline functionality issues: downloaded videos sometimes fail to play offline after a few days.
Customer support criticized for poor responsiveness and suggesting basic troubleshooting repeatedly.
Missing some signs or categories, and limited features for managing favorites or custom lists.
Differences and missing features compared to iOS version; bugs and freezes more common on Android tablets.

2024-07-28	Ka*****	I love this app. Worth every penny. I became mute 3 months ago and I can study and learn anywhere. Thank you for all your hard work making it. Definitely an amazying tool for ASL students.

2024-06-25	Du*****	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! 🤬

2023-12-19	DG*****	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.

2023-11-22	El*****	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.

2023-10-10	Ja*****	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.

2023-08-03	Ru*****	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!

2022-09-19	Gu*****	Doesn't actually work offline!! That's the whole reason I bought it. I downloaded all the videos like it prompted. At first it worked offline but then after about 3 days it stopped working offline. Waste of money

2022-04-12	th*****	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.

2022-04-09	da*****	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.
