The new app is fantastic and has made accessing Makaton resources so much easier. Being able to quickly search for a sign or concept in the asset library and instantly see the relevant resources, including videos and symbols, is incredibly helpful. It saves time and makes learning new signs, as well as refreshing existing knowledge, much more convenient. Less ‘clunky’ than using the Makaton Hub online.Overall, it has been a really positive experience. The app is user friendly, practical, and a valuable tool for anyone using or learning Makaton. I would definitely recommend it to others ⭐️

The new app is amazing! it makes it so much easier to find any signs I need or want to learn by simply being able to search what i’m looking for in the asset library and having all the resources come up like a small video and symbols. It’s very easy and quick to navigate and I have been using it loads since I’ve found it, Would definitely recommend!

Really badly made app
Laurelle145
I’ve been wanting to learn makaton and heard this app had a free part and subscription based upgrades. The sign up page was buggy and kept flipping me between a browser window and the app and Yet once you made an account you can’t access anything at all until you pay the subscription, under the payment button there’s a ‘find out more’ button that just opens to a blank email template without even the address for the app filled out. I’m not paying for an app that doesn’t even show anything about it first, especially one with obvious bugs and glitches.
