This is a great little app. It helps me practice what I’m learning in class, and i LOVE that it works w/o wifi or cell signal. If the developer doesn’t mind a few suggestions: (1) instead of holding the first and last letters for a while in FS quiz (which I assume is so fist and last aren’t cut off by video), hold a still hand or hold hand out of site for a second or two. Having the first and last letters held for a long time makes it too easy and unlike IRL. (2) For the FS quiz where you type in answers, set it to work in landscape as well as portrait. It’s annoying to have to rearrange my tablet to portrait mode for this app.

I only read the reviews and decided to purchase based on that. The app it self is good. The app offers and does everything it says it will do. Since I did not read it fully I didn’t see that it only goes up to 5 letter words. This is app seems more for beginners or those still in ASL classes. I went through the levels very fast. I’m currently an interpreting student. I still have trouble with finger spelling. The app however is not comprehensive enough for my level. I need more than 5 letters words. Also the speed is good but I wish it could be made faster. In my experience I often come across a lot of deaf who Fingerspell faster than what is provided in the video. Hopefully the developer can add more levels that include larger words. 6+ letter. Also provide an option to make the speed faster, not only slower..... After using the app more. I would still buy it knowing what it is. it is really good practice. Also I think I may have misspoke saying this app was not comprehensive enough. At its current level it is still a challenge. Long term In order to remain a challenge i believe more words should be added. Either new words 3-5 letters. Or expanding to longer words.

-At times it’s very difficult to make out some letters as she doesn’t have good positioning of her hand facing the receiver (us using the app)-Also with the poor positioning of her hand... when she blends letters halfway (which is common in FSing)... you can’t make out what letter it is, even in slow motion because of the bad positioning of her hand. You have to guess or fill in the blank.-adding more words / higher letter count words would be awesome. And please have the signer face her hand out front, not inward to herself. That’s so weird, even with beginners all the way to full on Deaf people and instructors, never have I see someone fingerspell inward.-3 stars because of her hand positioning. Otherwise this would be a great app.-maybe make a 2nd version (I would pay) or add on this one for higher count words + add numbers. Something like the price of an item, years, age of a person, would be good for number practice.

I became severely deaf in the last five years. I have been learning ASL with a tutor during the last year. I find receptive fingerspelling one of the harder aspects of learning to communicate in ASL. The ASL Fingerspell Dictionary is very helpful in this regard and fills a need not available otherwise . The displays are clear. The pace of presentation very adequate. The progression of difficulty well chosen. And to top it all, after finding a bug in the application and contacting Tech Support I received a reply within two hours acknowledging the problem and promising a prompt fix. Two days later I received an email alerting me that an update was available in the App Store. Installed and working!!!
