App crashes!!!!!!
scottwillic

Let’s see if this gets your attention! I sent an email and still no reply. The app crashes every time it is launched. It’s been happening since the last update.


Crashing
vb9595

I love this app! Until every time I open it it crashes. I purchased it awhile ago (the full version) and now I cant even use it. I click on app support and it says the page isn’t available. Really wish I could use it again!


Good signers, mediocre app
DamienMcKenna

The signers do a good job. However, the app itself is dot very well organized and makes it hard to learn from. I’m just starting to learn and there are lots of pieces here that would be useful, ABCs, for example. There are even different ways of viewing the ABCs - just the hand, the hand with the person’s shoulder (to see more of the arm movement for certain letters), or the hand and the face. The problem is that they go through the entire alphabet in one go, you can’t pick a single letter to practice. Furthermore, if you want to have it repeat a certain letter it repeats the entire scene, back to A again. And there’s no “pause” button. This makes learning very frustrating. The topic based sections are also well signed, but again suffer from navigation problems - there’s no way of seeing a list of all phrases in a section, you have to page through each one at a time. I do like the fact there’s a turtle / slow mode which affects all videos, but it isn’t clear that when you play a video and want to replay it that you must then click the turtle button, not the regular repeat button. In short, the UI needs a lot of work to be usable, and I hope some day it will be. Until then, I’ll be looking for another app.


Good for beginners. Has slow motion option. Well done.
Sunnydays9

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.


App not working
St Pete guy

I have sent couple of comments on the app, it seems that none of you care. Oh well! I guess need to find a new app to learn, too bad I really enjoyed this app, but I guess no one care to fix it. That’s all I’m very disappointed but oh well.


No hep
Kitterndy

It’s a great app when it works. If you have problems, good luck getting help.


Inclusive Excellence
EsotericProse

Thank 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! ?


Issues with App
Kandycid

I love the app but it seems to develops an issue where it won’t download certain lessons, I’ve had this issue before and did what I was previously told to do but it still isn’t downloading, other than that it’s a good app to have


Good but not accurate!
mrstruth0707

I really like this app, but some of the signs are wrong. Like yellow should be a Y shaken by your side but on here it’s a Y pulled from your chin. Green is the same way! It’s very easy to use but I want to make sure I’m learning the right signs!


Great!
slz0708

This app is great as a quick reference tool and for new learners. Would love to see a section on signs for animals!
