ASL Dictionary Sign Language

I’ve been using this for years. It’s helpful, accurate and easy to find words to remind you of words you may have forgotten, or updated.

Ok, for starters, I love this app. It’s great and worth the storage and the cash. However I have one extremely minor concern, more like a question: why are the signs “mouthed” in the videos? My ASL teacher at school used to tell me that “mouthing” and signing “is not ASL” and that there’s “something” against it in the Deaf community. However, I have some possible answers to my questions, and would like confirmation. Perhaps this is just to help people learn to lip read, or at least stay sharp at it. Maybe people feel more comfortable this way? Although I feel like it’s just teaching them a less socially acceptable form of signing. Just wondering if I’m wrong, or if there’s a definite reason. Anyways, I love this app. It’s beyond useful. Worth every cent.

Hi, I just wanted to say thank you for this app. It is quick and simple and easy to navigate. I love it. I was hoping (and this might be a stupid suggestion) that you could implement a box, that could be next to the buttons on the definition page, that would be a note? I think, for me at least, it would be helpful to get a description on the way a word is signed. For example when some words you shape your hand into the first letter of that word and then sign, it might be really helpful for some people to remember signs better if there’s a small description? Idk if it’d be helpful to most but I just wanted to throw it out there. Anyways I love love love this app. Thank you for making it a really great dictionary.

I work with a deaf/autistic person who uses sign and while using this app, we have been able to do a lot of great work together! The app has a lot of signs and the quiz function works great.

It is an excellent feature the you can use this app without internet connection. Always available! Videos are resident on your device.

It has no adds it’s the best

The woman speaks when she signs. Seems to over enunciate. I found myself reading her lips more than watching her sign. Bit of a distraction for my learning style.

Bare bones dictionary with very little context as to the sense of the word; eg. if you look up WORK it doesn't say whether this can be used to mean "this method works" or "my phone works." It would help to know up front what region of the US or Canada all these signs are from, as they have very little in common with the New York style of ASL I am currently learning. Quizzes would be more helpful if they were not multiple choice. A "reveal answer" button would be more useful as I'd have to think more; the choices are so random that only one is even close and it's a giveaway. Thank you.

The content is fine. The organization is terrible. I should see groupings like Time Expressions Question Words / Wh words Conjunctions / Connectors Quantitative Words Instead you get “Verbs”. Nouns. Etc. too vague and general.

I just bought this app. My first 10 minutes I found one missing feature and one irritating. 1. Missing: There are few ways to sign the same word. This app apparently shows only one. Which is a big gap. Can this feature be added? 2. Quizzes: the signer is mouthing the word which becomes a big hint or answer. This reduces the value of the quizzes. Let me know if these features will be added in future? Regards
