In addition to this basic functionality, the app features support for saving custom lists of words for quick access as well as a flashcard based revision feature with random and spaced repetition learning strategies.

Ratings and Reviews
👍
Really like the work you’ve put into this app. I’ll need to spend some more time with it, but what I could see improving over time are: • Navigation from a dictionary entry to the revision section • On the search results screen it’s not intuitive to go to other sections • Ability to add dictionary entry to a specific list — at the moment it seems I can only add to the Favourites list by staring it • global setting for playback speed (even in flashcards) — it seems that the playback speed is always set back to 1x for every new • highlight the current playback speed setting • On the flashcards show buttons for actions such as “I know the answer”, “I don’t know the answer” and appropriate responses thereafter. • Show stats for revisions with date and success. • Where multiple cards exist for one word (eg. “hot”), only add an entry to a list on the card that I’m on. • Show Safari icon (or icon for default web browser, if possible) instead of the globe icon for clarity on what this means.
Developer Response ,
Hi Invenio, thanks for the feedback. These are all great ideas, I'll put them on the backlog.
For the revision feature, I only show "remembered" / "forgot" buttons for spaced repetition, because it is only meaningful for that strategy since it feeds into which cards to show you in the future. The random strategy shows just the "next" button because each revision session just randomly shows you all the cards.
Thanks for the feedback!
Excellent Reference and Learning App
An excellent AUSLAN dictionary. Be aware it requires internet to download the videos of signs, but they local cache (save) them for a fortnight.
There is no option to permanently save any or all videos (but I'd love to see it!)
The app is very intuitive to use, has a professional lightweight flashcard system, and list making ability.
There is no way to browse words by topic as the app is just using the Signbank website for reference which is also unsorted by type.
Overall, an amazing free app, well done to the developer. Definitely worth your time if you're learning or using AUSLAN, much better more convenient and functionality than the Signbank website itself.
Cheers.
Indispensable App
This app gets a heavy workout from me everyday, and it’s never failed me.
I do wish there was an Auslan to English look up function, as I’m at the point where I’m watching videos that don’t have English subtitles and there’s always signs I don’t know and can’t work out from context.
Thank you very, very much for making this app and for distributing it for free. You are doing a great service.
