The ASL App for Positive User Reviews
✓ Great tool for beginning and intermediate learnersI love this app! I have been working on ASL for eight months now, and started using this app right near the start. The app helped me learn to fingerspelling and quickly learn a few phrases I could use right away. Now that I’m taking ASL classes, and have the basics of fingerspelling, numbers, greetings, etc down, I use the app frequently as a dictionary, to search a word or phrase I’ve forgotten or haven’t learned. I have the add on packs. Definitely worth it. Hope to see more added too!.Version: 3.0
✓ Can you add more?I really love this app, I got the bundle, I am already learning, using, and teaching signs to my friends but I want to know if more could be added. For example, strong feelings like love, hate, really and more like that. I know like, don’t, won’t, and more are in the app, but I hope more can be added. Is there anyway you could also add pets? Thank you for reading this..Version: 2.5
✓ LOVEI love this app so much. I was really inspired by Nyle to learn ASL, I've already learned so much and have now influenced my younger sister and her friends to take part in it and have started teaching my friends and family. Great app 👍🏼.Version: 1.3
✓ Scroll to bottom to rest0re purch4seTried to write this three times but because i keep mentioning this 🅱️ug with “res0re purch4se” button, i think it just gets removed … but I’m not trashing the app rofl!! i love it! i love the actors, the content, the features (especially pause, slow down, and “favorites” which you can use to make your own flashcards since they shuffle favorites when you select them, very neat!) for the 🅱️ug: don’t go to “i” then “app info” then “rest0re purch4se” because it doesn't work. instead scroll to the bottom of the home/main screen where the topics are and there is the same button. that one worked for me after redownloading! btw i’m happy my $10 went to paying these actors and designers, would happily pay more for future bundles because at least its not another su🅱️scription!!.Version: 3.3
✓ This app is AMAZING!!!I love this app <3 I'm been trying to learn asl for years and, while I know my ABCs, 123s, and several over signs, this app has helped teach me so much more and very easily too, and for very little money (many signs are free though FYI!).Version: 1.4
✓ Great!!I love this app!! I’m learning so much!!!.Version: 2.7
✓ Paid full price and it stopped working with new updateThere is a glitch sometimes, but I noticed that if I reinstall this purchase from apple store, it works again..Version: 3.0
✓ ASLI've always wanted to learn sign language and hopefully I can now!.Version: 1.4
✓ $10 is relative.How can you people complain about $10 for knowledge. I always wanted to learn ASL but never made it a priority. When I found out I had to have a medical procedure that laid me up for a week, I said what a great opportunity. I went to five used book stores and bought all I could on ASL. Then a new book store and bought one more. I was looking forward to my week of learning. I am a mechanic and work on Deaf people’s car from time to time. I can’t wait to surprise them. My weekly tool bill for the personal tools I buy is $130. That’s every WEEK. $10 is relatively cheap for me. I got my monies worth from the free stuff before I bought the extra..Version: 2.9
✓ ASL packI got the ASL pack and it awesome I’m going to be awesome at ASL thank you for making the ASL app.Version: 2.9
✓ I love thisAs a hard-of-hearing girl in this day and age, I find this app extremely useful. I am 16 and have almost gone deaf twice in my life. I thought learning asl would be beneficial regardless if I actually went deaf or not. Unfortunately, there aren't as many facilities or opportunities to learn asl in my community, so I am grateful for YouTube (check out Bill Vicars he is amazing) and this app for helping my family and I educate ourselves! So happy this app exists because it brings light to our community and allows our voices to be heard without us having to speak..Version: 1.4
✓ This is a very good app.Its really good to learn the basic and for pratice. Its easy to use and makes it easier to learn..Version: 1.4
✓ Great app!!! Just needs 1 thing.I love this app, it's very informative, I'm learning sign language very quickly with it, I also love how it's laid out, it shows the Signs and the meaning of them in a great way. IT JUST NEEDS ONE THING. There needs to be an option to turn off the English words and just see them signing, so that way I could get practice with visually seeing the signs and putting it together in my head, rather than seeing the words along with the signs. And then after I see the signs then have a quick button that shows what the signs were to check if I were correct. I gave it 4 stars without that option, if that option was added I would happily rate 5 stars!.Version: 2.5
✓ Good for beginners. Has slow motion option. Well done.Great for beginners. Me. Has a slow motion demonstration mode. Person displays the sign and you practice it. Then click to move forward or backward. Modules are grouped by similar subject. Very practical subjects to use in a given situation. Very worth the $ to purchase all modules ad free. Simple to use..Version: 3.0
✓ Love this appI’ve had this app for a few years now, and I love it. They keep adding more content- which is always appreciated! It’s a super simple app, but gives you so many topics with tons of different sayings. I really like how they sign while the words appear in the corner of the screen. It’s an effective way to understand the grammar of ASL. There is also an “info” feature for certain signs that may vary slightly from other signs. It’s great because it makes you aware of slight differences in hand placement, or even how facial expressions are important. I love the new additions to the app, such as the search feature, and the ability to star and save sayings or words to come back to later. I still have a lot to learn with what’s already provided, but I hope they add even more words & sayings soon!.Version: 3.3
✓ I'm deafI'm deaf and thus helped me so much.Version: 2.2
✓ Quick LearningThis app is fantastic! It’s so easy and quick to learn many phrases. Love the videos the videos and the expressions. I would recommend it to anyone and I ended up paying for the full app. I am so glad there’s a slow motion button for longer more difficult phrases. The only suggestion I would add is that I really want there to be a romance category. I think this would be fun to use with my boyfriend. Maybe it can be added in the next update? Thank you for helping me learn sign language! :).Version: 2.7
✓ Listen to the people who need this and want to learn please I am doing sign language because of thisOk 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🏁🏁.Version: 3.6.2
✓ Love itI love this app I paid for the full version, and it was a great decision. I use it every day, and I learned so much since I started using it! I recommend it.Version: 2.9
✓ Essential AppI 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..Version: 3.6.2
✓ Could use some improvementsI will start with the good things about this app: The interface is very intuitive and clean. I like how professional it looks. It also has the “slow down” feature, which is great. I’ve learned a good amount from this app, which I really appreciate. But after about a month or two of learning, I feel like I’ve already outgrown it. I’m in the market for another ASL app with more words. Cons: I’m hoping to see more content in the future. For $10 for all packages, I feel like there just isn’t enough. (I’m also not partial to some of the packages that focus on silly things [there is a package about celebrities where half of the phrases are things like “Have my baby” and “let me see your abs”.]). There is a search feature, but it’s lacking. If the list is too long, it won’t always let you scroll all the way to see all of the options. Also, certain words are in their database differently (example: some phrases say “dont” and some “don’t”).Version: 2.5
✓ Thanks Inksalt!!Well organized, easy to use, so helpful to be able to slow down and repeat. We have a newly deaf adult family member. Could you please make some short stories/dialogues that we could watch/slow down/repeat? Everything we’ve found is either really old, poorly done, or aimed at children..Version: 3.0
✓ I love this appI am hearing, but I wanted to learn ASL because it's so beautiful and useful. This app is Great! I've been able to learn the basic ASL signing and fingerspelling. The slow motion feature allows me to look at the signs slower and copy it. I strongly recommend this app for people looking to learn ASL.Version: 1.4
✓ Awesome!I recently watched Americas next top model and after I saw Nyle win I wondered if he'd made an app so I googled it and he did! The show inspired me to learn sign language and this app is an amazing way of doing it. It's very clear and easy to understand and I love that you can slow the videos down because that helps me a lot. I would definitely recommend getting this app.Version: 1.4
✓ Everyone should have this app!!!I work in automotive sales and have been in the service industry for almost 14 years. Many times I have encountered someone with asl needs, I wish had this app years ago to learn and make someone's experience that much better! Learning as much from this app as I can! THANK YOU NILE.Version: 1.4
✓ Inclusive ExcellenceThank you to the developers and individuals who did the videos. I was so relieved to see a range of individual identities (race, gender, ethnicity, signing style, speed, etc.) throughout the videos and a range of skin tones in the new alphabet and number sections. The developers are responsive to feedback (thank you) and as a hearing person, I have appreciated the learning approach of the videos (the 🐢 especially!), and the time spent making this accessible for others. I recommend purchasing the expansion pack too! 💜.Version: 3.0
✓ This is excellentIve just started to sign and I found this app to an excellent tool. Highly recommended! great job putting this together, Thanks!.Version: 1.4
✓ This app is really greatI love the ASL app for several reasons. 1. Content is interesting, fun, and is neatly categorized. 2. The signers they feature come across as friendly and engaging and they sign clearly. 3. The signing is very contemporary, covering new vocab and usage from technology and pop culture. 4. The "slow" feature is useful to see a sign slowly. 5. If features single words as well as complete phrases. 6. The search feature is easy to use. Two criticisms: 1. They are very slow to add new bundles. Only one was added in 2017. I paid for the package that included all future bundles at no extra charge. :( 2. After each sign, it goes to a screen with 4 buttons: replay, slow, favorite, and info. The app promises to provide extra info on the various signs, but none of the signs have any content in the "info." Kinda disappointing..Version: 2.5
✓ No landscapeI love the information in this app—have used it semi-regularly throughout the years—but the one thing that continues to frustrate me is that there is STILL no landscape implementation. i was so excited when the app finally got an update a few months ago (after there were no updates for a couple years) and another one a few weeks ago, but i seriously got my hopes up for nothing….Version: 3.6
✓ No religion category but helpful when they rarely do have the sign you’re looking for.I can’t really pull myself to understand why this app doesn’t take its time to have at least a religious category. Signs like “Jesus” and “God” are essential for a $10 in app purchase. The app tools it’s time to make an LGBTQ category because the ASL app wants to teach us that equality is only necessary when convenient to them. It is not that hard to expand the dictionary that you’re app has by adding signs like God, Buddha, Islam, Koran, Bible, gospel, and covenant. Things like that will be worth you’re wile. Overall this is a helpful app but not helpful when you might as well look up most things on google. I would like to have my learning in one place. Thank You the ASL app for taking my opinion into consideration!.Version: 2.9
✓ Good but could be betterI’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..Version: 3.6.2
✓ Great great great!Easy to use! Everybody should learn !.Version: 1.4
✓ Easy to learnIt's a great app! I've always wanted to learn sign language and this app has made it very easy! You can feel the personality of the people on screen which made is motivating!.Version: 1.2
✓ Great leaping pointOne app alone, no matter how great, will never be able to teach all the complexities and nuances of a language and it's culture. But this is a great tool to add on my journey towards mastery. $10 is worth it seeing that I still haven't been able to get through learning all the videos yet after 4 months but I can always go back too look again. I also spent $10 on chipotle the other day so I figure a learning app is more useful and long lasting. Also need to point out, out of the multitudes of videos teaching hundreds of signs, the people who decided of focus on the single foul sign or the occasional "useful" fun signs need to take a chill pill..Version: 2.9
✓ Best way to learn ASLNyle DiMarco from Switched At Birth recommended this app and I've been hooked ever since. I love how clear the instructions are and you can infinitely re-watch the tutorials in "turtle" (slow) mode to ensure you're really learning the exact hand placement. I love this app!!! Thank you for making it..Version: 1.2
✓ Great for daily practice!It’s really hard to find places that consistently and effectively help learn sign language. This app is good for beginners as the words only appear as the signer says them, so you don’t have to guess what each word is. I haven’t gotten far enough to see how well grammar is incorporated. Once you know the alphabet, the app organizes signs such that all of the categories build on the previous lessons, so you learn important signs like “I” “me” “you” very early, then they show you “learn” then they add onto that by showing you “I learn signs” and before you know it you can remember how to sign “I learned how to sign when I was young” and make full sentences. If you know the alphabet and want to start learning with light exposure to the language over time, this app is fantastic. Not to mention you have access to the entire app’s content forever after paying a single fee. I’d highly recommend it..Version: 3.3
✓ Amazing appI am re-learning ASL basics because I work with two deaf people and a hard-of-hearing person, and I feel we would could improve communication and more importantly draw us closer as a team. The signs are clear and at a pace that makes it easy to keep up. I give 5 stars because the app goes through the basics which is exactly what I need for now and for $10 to get some refresher content isn’t bad at all..Version: 2.8
✓ 5 Stars!I love this app! Easy to learn from, especially with the slow motion function. Very clear movements. Great variety & updates. Whenever I’m commuting or have down time, I learn so many new signs! The only downside is that the full version doesn’t transfer between family sharing plans, so each of my family had to get the full version on their account. But so worth it!.Version: 2.8
✓ Great just need moreThe signers are amazing. Easy to understand and they rarely need slowed down. The only problem is that I think some things are missing. Under the “Voting” section, President and Secretary of State are listed but not Vice President. You could probably finger spell VP but I don’t think that is the normal way. Also I don’t think emergencies should be paid for in case you are in a real emergency. All in all, it’s a well designed app that just needs a little more..Version: 3.0
✓ Not enough basic signsIt’s a great app, but doesn’t really touch into facial expression, doesn’t include enough basic terms like friendship terms like “best friend”, the states and providences of the US and Canada, names of animals, months of the year, vehicle terms like “car” “truck” “motorcycle”, it just feels lacking for an app with dictionary in the name. Idk if maybe they need like a kick starter or something to really get some more meat in the app for people to learn with and use a resource or what That would be something I’d be willing to support. Maybe even making the app totally free through the Kickstarter funds would be cool..Version: 3.0
✓ AmazingNever seen an app like this, very well designed teaching method although it doesn't look the best. small request, i would love the ability to listen to music and learn asl, so can you guys allow the our own music to play while the instructing videos are? other than that the app is great, use it almost every day!.Version: 1.1
✓ Excellent AppI’ve recently lost the use of my voice, and I’m trying to teach myself some basic ASL. The videos are wonderful, informative and educational. I’ve read a lot of reviews for this app, and the biggest complaint seems to be single use of profanity. The app teaches you the sign for “eff you” (which was surprising, I thought that was just The Finger, but I was wrong?), and some parents were upset about that. Personally, while I’d never use that sign, I’m still glad the app showed me what it means so I can recognize it. No speech-impaired people are going to cuss me out now, at least not without me knowing it! This is an educational app, so I’m glad this was in here..Version: 2.5
✓ Pause ButtonThis app is amazing, and I am really enjoying learning sign language. The only thing I would suggest is that there be a pause button when watching videos, because it would help me learn a lot better, and I wouldn’t have to restart the whole video just to make sure I got a little gesture right. I also like practicing the gesture after it is shown, because it helps me remember it more. Love this app, great job!!.Version: 2.9
✓ Amazing!This is great, and I wish there was a BSL version (I wanna learn both).Version: 2.9
✓ Love itI think I paid $15 for it years ago. Money well spent. Great when on the go. Like the slow mo too..Version: 3.3
✓ Pretty CoolThis app is great for learning, and I support that extra packages cost more money. However if you are really looking to memorize your signs then try following along with Bill Vicars' lessons on YouTube. Getting the extra help from a person who is very educated on the culture and ethics of the language is great. This app is mostly just for the basics..Version: 1.4
✓ This is the best ASL app I could find!I took a year of ASL and forgot most of it, and searching through all the ASL apps I could, this one is my favorite so far. I actually just bought the full version because I liked the layout so much. The order of learning things is intuitive and I really like that you can see which signs are in each group with the index button. The only thing I’d really want is a written explanation of ASL sentence structure (which I admittedly may have missed), though every sentence signed is an example of that. Thank you all for the work you put into this app!.Version: 3.3
✓ Just wanted to learnI picked this up about a month ago, and was surprised how easy it is to get in to. I have no speech issues, just figured I’d learn ASL. I practice for about 5 Days a week and have been slowly going through each section- currently up to Life of The Party. I enjoy being able to slow the videos so that I can mimic more precisely the gesture. Thank you guys so much for a great app! ***** A few suggestions, if you’re cool with that: -Saving your place when you check out the full roster of each section. It always throws me back up top and I have to scroll back down to my place. -Rearrangement of the sections. It might be personal preference, but learning colors and types of foods first would make more sense than partying and flirting. Haha -Flashcards! I would love to put what you’ve taught me to the test in an easier fashion than just looking at each section’s roster. -More words! I know there’s a lot here already, but I’m looking forward to even more! Maybe parts of the body, general medical terms, animals, etc. Thank you again, guys! Great work..Version: 2.7
✓ Service industry and emergenciesI’m in the restaurant and bar industry, so I would like to see an expansion in your service industry related content. Dialogue for handling or relating issues would be great. More terms like: manager, raw, medium rare, well done, food allergies etc. And like: your card is declined, i can’t break a hundred dollar bill, he tried to hit me, you can’t do that here, smoking outside, can you call me a cab. And most importantly dialogue and terms for emergencies like: where does it hurt? pain, medication, heart, lungs, broken bones, epipen, is it hard to breath, and so on. Thanks for helping me be able to better help my guests and be a help to strangers in need..Version: 2.8
✓ This Newbie Is Impressed!I just started using this app, and I’m surprised by how much I’m learning and retaining. It’s very well designed. Being able to slow and pause is super helpful because I need time to analyze the movements. I never knew any ASL before now. I’m losing my hearing somewhat, so I’m wanting to learn both for myself and to help others in the future. This app is a great place to start and a great reference to have with you. I’m glad you include slang and even a little strong language (and you do it tastefully). These are things a person needs to know in case they are encountered. Oh, and the models aren’t hard on the eyes, either! ;-) Thank you so much!.Version: 2.7
✓ InspirationOnce I watched cycle 22 of ANTM, my eyes were really opened at the fact that there were thousands of deaf communities located all across the world, and that they could all communicate with each other using such a wide variety of beautiful languages that allowed themselves to converse using their hands and facial expressions. Due to myself never coming across any of these communities before, I felt that I was missing out (ironic?). Therefore, I had the motivation to learn ASL (despite myself living in the UK) purely because it's the primary language of deaf communities. Quite frankly, it had been difficult trying to learn this language single-handedly without the motivation of a teacher, or even friends who'd want to learn it with me; as well as this, I was having to balance this along with my schoolwork, which has also proven difficult. However, with this app I am able to learn ASL with a greater amount of alacrity in comparison to before, and whilst using it I am constantly reminded of the man who had triggered this drive to learn something new - Nyle. His impact on the world is colossal, and I feel that it is growing at an exponential rate, which is brilliant for him. By using this app I will always have the motivation to work on impact, rather than fame (as Nyle said). Thank you Nyle for everything you have done for us and I hope your successes will only increase!.Version: 1.4
✓ Great for beginners buts needs extra featuresIt’s a great app for anyone is trying to learn a little sign language for fun but it needs more. Some way of testing the signs you’ve been practicing would be very helpful for retention. There is definitely room for more categories of signs as well. If it’s feasible maybe even taking the total signs in all categories and making a search feature that’s alphabetically organized. It would help a lot of with looking up a sign you’re trying to find..Version: 2.9
✓ IncredibleI love this app! When I was a little bit younger, I was obsessed with a show Called switched at birth. I have been using this app for 2 years and now I'm fluent. Thank you asl app. Thank you!.Version: 2.6
✓ Great app, please fix the crashesWould give 5 stars if not for the constant crashes. Can no longer open app without it shutting down after a few seconds. Re-installing doesn't help. Clearly many more bug fixes needed in future. Content is wonderful. Just wish app would work..Version: 1.3
✓ ExcellentI love that this app has Deaf creators. There are a variety of lessons for conversational ASL on different subjects. The app is easily searchable and has different Deaf people presenting the ASL lessons that help students see a variety & nuance of ASL. Presenters are engaging & help students understand ASL is more than just what hands are doing. Phrases are translated to English captions as they are signed so that differences in grammar & sentence structure can be understood. They also have an excellent Instagram account for receptivity practice that goes beyond what is taught in the app. Excellent start for those beginning ASL or looking to brush up if you are out of practice. I found the $10 to be more than reasonable especially as more units get added..Version: 2.8
✓ I love this app! So helpful!I’m hearing and a brand new learner to ASL - taking a college class at our local junior college. This has been so helpful to watch these people do the signs & I love the “turtle” button that slows it down because everything looks so fast when you are just starting to learn it. Thank you to everyone who put in all the work to make this happen! Love it! I appreciate the help learning this beautiful language..Version: 2.7
✓ What?Really great, helped me a lot learning asl.Version: 1.3
✓ I LOVE ITI've always wanted to learn sign language and now I can it's really easy and I love it and Nyle DiMarcro is on the app to🙌.Version: 1.4
✓ Fantastic!I love, LOVE, LOVE this app! I appreciate that there are members of the Deaf community and hearing allies teaching the material and that I have a chance to learn idiomatic phrases and slang as well as basic signs. Bonus: Nyles DiMarco, from America’s Top Model teaches some of the signs! That alone, makes it worth the in-app purchases, in my opinion. Getting all the bundles is only $9.99, which for all that information, great videos, and easy accessibility makes it a steal! I like that you can buy everything up front and are not being drained by a subscription. I am a real person, not affiliated with the app ;) I am excited to use these signs with my teenage son, who has autism and my step-dad, who is HOH..Version: 3.0
✓ This app is great!Keep in mind i have not bought the full app for all the bundles but as soon as i get the money to I am defiantly going to purchase this full ASL app because even the free version is amazingly helpful! The one thing i wish it did was turn horizontally so i can look at it all on my IPad Pro in all ways. But other then that this is still an amazing app!.Version: 2.9
✓ Lack of Customization and Emphasis on Parts of SpeechTo whom it may concern, First and foremost let me say that I would have rated this app 5 stars, considering it is the best media resource I have found for learning American Sign Language. However it does not allow users to create playlists, or folders, to store and sort their vocabulary words or phrases that they learn while using the app. Customization is important so we can review the signs that we are learning. Additionally, I think it would be very helpful to make content in regards to different parts of speech, especially verbs, prepositions, and adjectives. This way learners can learn more basic signs as we create new sentences, or rather as we learn how to sign. As a purchased pack customer I hope that you are already working on making the app more personal by allowing users to create playlists, or folders, to store their signs. Thank you for your time, and amazing product, Hopeful customer.Version: 3.0
✓ GoodGood for learning, and you can watch each video and infinite number of times, and can also play in turtle mode. I invested the money for full version and definitely don't regret it. However, could use a sports or hobby category, as well as music.Version: 1.4
😕 The ASL App Negative Reviews
