SignSchool App Reviews

Each time I go into the app and look up a new sign I desperately want to be able to save it onto a playlist of others signs to categorize them into my own labeled stacks. Having a collection of sign to study then adding slowly onto them is how I feel learning is most effective and would make the process a lot easier. If it could be done it would make my life and anyone who’s learning life’s a lil easier.

I started using this app about a year ago to help me learn more ASL vocabulary so I could talk with the deaf students I drive to/from school. It started off looking a bit like a back alley knockoff of something, but even then it did exactly what I needed it to do and did it reliably. Since this update, it has had a huge facelift and added features that give the app even more value as a learning tool. I highly recommend getting this app if you want to learn ASL and/or improve your vocabulary.

This is one of the first ASL apps I downloaded years ago, it was okay but not great, there weren’t descriptions for signs so if you were looking up the word ‘right’ you had to guess which sign was for the direction and which one meant correct. But the update looks amazing and I really look forward to going through the new features and using this app more. I’m specifically excited about the topics, and the ‘grammar’ section, so few apps teach about the different grammar in ASL so I’m really excit

I’ve enjoyed the app and the updates are making it more enjoyable! The only thing that I would like to see is the “games portion” to be learning in topics! Thank you for helping us to learn!

I have been saying for many years ASL and this is a great tool

Got started using the courses available through the website, but found I wanted to access signs on the go… have no fear, the mobile app is here!.. really like the dictionary function, can’t wait to see more and more concepts added to that! Love the variety of people in the videos ( same people as in the lessons online). And some of the improvements that have been made just since I’ve had the app are pretty exciting! ( sign review for each topic, and soon to come, a lessons section!) great resour

This site is so helpful. I love that you can play in regular and slow motion. Since this isn’t complete with the “lessons” I couldn’t give it a 5 star. I love the “games” that really help me learn at my pace. Dawn

I really like the updated site for the Sign School website. There are wonderful additions giving the viewer more choices and means of learning signs and usage.

The app is good for keeping a bunch of general sign language information on hand. However, it’s not good for learning in my opinion due to the lack of actually lessons. The app currently only shows you what the signs are. They don’t explain the difference between signs that mean the same thing but sign differently. They don’t explain the different body language and facial expressions that go into different signs. Again, it’s great if you just need a refresher or demeanor to keep a bunch of info

Amazing app for learning ASL!!!! The update looks great, and they even improved it further with changes I suggested in my last review. Seriously great job!!! Ty!!!!!

has been my clutch for 8 years, love this app so much. i don’t have asl class anymore, as i learned it in middle school, but this is a great app for a refresher on signs. thank you to the developers for the new updates as well, it’s very organized <3

I wish they would show finger placements for the signs . My daughter is learning ASL in school and my job was offering this app for free, so, I really can’t complain. There are just some signs that I get confused on even when I put it on turtle pace. Also, why do some of them look not so happy ?

Very fun for beginners, a very good resource to familiarize yourself with ASL, I love the fact the you can choose how long or short you study for. Also the sign of the day encourages you to go back into the app!

I love using it whenever. I think of a word that I don’t know in ASL but sadly it’s lacking lot of vocabulary if a word is specific or broad. It is likely not to be on there, but either way, it is a great and simple app to use especially for it being free. :)

This all is okay but I wish there was more close-up of hand movement/finger placement. Even on slow mode it is sometimes difficult to see clearly what is being related.

As a late deafened adult who is frustrated by finger spelling this is an easy way to learn signs. Slow but sure & the price is right! The signers are excellent!

I just feel like this app is missing something. It took a little while to load and I wish it was quicker. I also wish this app DESCRIBED the motions.

I especially appreciate the "regular & turtle" speeds.

I really like this app, because I barely knew sign language and I was using this app and it helped me learn all the letters and numbers under 20 minutes. - appreciate it User

The dictionary has been a lifesaver as I navigate ASL class. ASL can be difficult to translate sometimes, there are no tools like Google translate for an unspoken language, but this app is a very helpful substitute to that technology.

Wish some of the videos could go a little slower. There’s a couple of people from the videos that even when I click slow-mo, they move a little too fast so I can’t see proper finger placement. Otherwise great

Has helped me to learn sign language but the vocabulary could be expanded so plz consider

It’s hand when it works, but the UI is buggy and it often doesn’t respond to taps.

I have a hard time learning languages and I have never learned something quicker than with SignSchool! The only things I would change is to have clarification and definitions of words for context. (Ex is someone being mean versus what did you mean?)

Your g is in a strange angle that I can not understand thank you for filing my complaint

It is super good for a free app

I thought it was a good app because it is simple, organized, you can search up the word you wanna know and it has live references that you can slow down to watch for better understanding

It’s great for learning vocabulary, not so much the actual language. Only flaw is that lately it’s been crashing any time I try to open it.

This app is much better than it was the last time I downloaded it. The videos are clear and the app is easy to use. I especially like the topics, and the dictionary feature is awesome.

Straightforward app but would be nice to organize with a favorites tab :))

The app itself is very useful but needs some tweaks. Some sections don’t load and just leaves a blank screen. But the app is alright.

My 3 year old daughter has hearing loss and is learning sign in school and this app has been a life saver trying to keep up with her learning and helping us communicate together better!

This app is tottaly awesome it gives you a lot of options and it has so many things to learn. I just started learning sign language and this is super helpful!!!

I am new to learning ASL, and I have found the number of available signs great in satisfying my curiosity for learning new phrases or words.

The people signing were way to fast! It was hard on some of the signs to see exactly what fingers they were using. The app worked great but I was unable to learn at that pace

my friend is deaf, and she asked me to not speak but rather use sign language when sending videos. this helped, thank you!💗💗

There are different mean for fall, maybe in parentheses next the word put season or the action verb.

This is super straightforward and easy to use, and most importantly very helpful! The only thing I wish it had was a search tool so that I could get right to the word I'm looking for.

Has phrases such as this week, but missing others like this month, year, today. I like the layout and functionality of it but I am forced to look elsewhere for common expressions/words.

I love this app and the idea behind it! I just wish it was structured out a little differently. I’d like to know the sign for “hello” before I know the sign for “pole vaulting”.😂

This is the best ASL app I’ve found. It has optional tests on all material, and breaks up the lessons into manageable sections.

I dont go on it often but when I do I'm not disappointed :)

It’s very helpful but I think we should be able to save/favorite a sign and be able to come back to it that’s all thx for reading this

i love’ this app and use it every day almost- but i’m a little irritated that they only have a limited vocabulary. if they expanded the vocabulary that would make this app amazing.

The signers have an ‘attitude.’ Other than that it’s great! Sadly, I do not recommend this to my students because the signers have an attitude.
