Good signers, mediocre app

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.

A great app 😍 which allows users to learn signs with visuals aids and English caption

The ASL App is a highly regarded tool designed to help users learn American Sign Language (ASL) with a focus on real-life, conversational phrases. Developed by Deaf creators, the app provides over 1,000 video lessons covering a wide range of topics, including basic vocabulary, everyday phrases, idiomatic expressions, and slang. The diversity of presenters helps showcase variations in ASL, enhancing users’ understanding of ASL’s grammar and cultural nuances.

One of the standout features is the app's video-based teaching method, which allows users to learn signs with visual aids and English captions, offering valuable context for the differences in ASL grammar. The app’s slow-motion feature, turtle mode, makes it easier to follow and practice individual signs, while the "favorites" tool enables users to save videos for review, making it ideal for building a personalized flashcard deck. There is no subscription; a single $10 payment unlocks all lessons, which is a valued aspect for many users.

Great for daily practice!

It’s really hard to find places that consistently and effectively help learn sign language. This app is good for beginners as the words only appear as the signer says them, so you don’t have to guess what each word is. I haven’t gotten far enough to see how well grammar is incorporated.

Once you know the alphabet, the app organizes signs such that all of the categories build on the previous lessons, so you learn important signs like “I” “me” “you” very early, then they show you “learn” then they add onto that by showing you “I learn signs” and before you know it you can remember how to sign “I learned how to sign when I was young” and make full sentences.

If you know the alphabet and want to start learning with light exposure to the language over time, this app is fantastic. Not to mention you have access to the entire app’s content forever after paying a single fee. I’d highly recommend it.
