ASL Bloom - Sign Language 4+

Great App

I’ve been using this app for a little over a week now and have progressed to the subscription chapters. I’m impressed!! It teaches in simple yet effective videos, quizzes, and matching. I especially like the flashcard section to practice signs already covered without redoing the teachings!! Too bad this is only a premium option. This means that once you’ve gone through all the lessons and don’t need to continue to subscribe you’ll lose access to all the flash cards you paid for previously.

It’s not a cheap app, unfortunately, which will limit some on purchasing the subscription. Also, it’s a bummer that it doesn’t support family sharing so the kids can learn under their own account without having to purchase multiple subscriptions. I just can’t afford that. They’ll have to use my account even tho it will be inconvenient to keep up with who is at what lesson. But for the price, no way will I pay for multiple subscriptions just over a convenience.

Overall its a good app, subscription service could be tweaked so that certain things, like the flashcards, could be lifetime access. That tweak might make it a great app. So I’ll use it and subscribe for a bit but it won’t be a long term app I’ll stick with.

Couldn’t be better!

I used to work in customer service and would occasionally have HOH or deaf customers, and I knew a little bit a sign to be able to ask what they needed, or to say thank you, that simple type of stuff, but never to really enough to have a conversation with the person and it always made me feel so guilty. I think ASL should be taught in schools but until we get to that point this app is incredible, it reminds me a lot of Duolingo, super easy to use and has clear representations of whats being signed. I very much have been enjoying it and I’ve been sharing it with my friends and family who also want to learn ASL.

I just want to also add, I love the fact that the instructors are deaf or HOH!

Good app but HORRIBLE glitch. Also needs improvements.

I downloaded this app to learn some sign, it was pretty good, until i encountered this stuff. First is sometimes only one sign teacher does a specific sign. This makes it easy when they ask, “what’s this sign” and you immediately know cause that teacher did that sign. I am really happy that there’s no paid ads, but it’s pretty annoying every lesson you get a, “you’re doing super well! Upgrade to premium now” ad. Then there’s the horrible glitch. When I did the 1-3 chapters it was fine. Then I tried to click, “start new lesson Manners!” But it immediately put me to colors, which I had unlocked but was still 2 chapters away and didn’t wanna start it yet. Did I mention I already finished manners but it said I didn’t and wouldn’t go away from my “start new lessons?” I finally just did that one lesson on colors and after I went to a new chapter that I just unlocked and DIDNT wanna start yet?! Also it doesn’t tell you what lesson you’re on which is pretty annoying. I don’t wanna delete the app cause I’ll loose my progress but I can’t finish all my other lessons!
