Anna : Sign Language - ASL

I’ve been trying out new apps. This one has potential but needs a few changes. 1. The hands are too zoomed out especially on small phone type devices. 2. The questions in relation to some of the questions is very distracting. The switch between a 1 image question to a 2 image question is not an easy transition. I find the jump puts me in a mental pause that by the time I find my rhythm again half the timer is gone then if the sequence I need to decipher is more than a word or two I don’t get enough repeats to catch it as a newcomer. 3. That brings me to problem 3. On new material there should not be a timer. It should be an option on tests and later materials once you’re more familiar. Or, give an option to override if you need it slowed or you have kids or emergencies that pull you away from learning. 4. It’s still got some major quirks. The report feature worked once, the second time it crashed mid typing, third time crashed and ended the activity. I see potential in this app. Another suggestion. Instead of a timed energy refill can you add a feature that either you watch an add or refill it by other learning challenges? Maybe this is where speed comes into play? It’s frustrating when you only have a small window for learning, can’t afford any non essential subscriptions and the free versions lock you out for a set amount of time. Please think outside the box about ways to build energy to help those of us who are wanting to learn because we feel it’s something that should be universally taught but never get access to the resources without being either privileged or medically necessary.

I am loving this app that’s teaching me some sign language, I know like a tiny bit of sign language because of when I was little, I had a speech thing and I couldn’t talk until the age of five so I used a tiny bit of sign language, and I wanna talk to people in sign language and learn about it. And with this app, I can learn a whole lot, to talk to people that are deaf or mute, I mean I want to go into a type of police force and it would be really helpful to learn this to help people out/ like know what they’re saying.

Have been trying this app out for less than 10 days and I’ve already been able to talk to so many deaf people. I’m able to learn British French and American Sign Language which is just fascinating. This is definitely the best sign language app out there.
