This game is very helpful and fun. I really like how it times each game so you can get faster. However, the advertisements are VERY inappropriate! My husband and I play this game as well as our kids. We will be deleting this great game because of the extremely inappropriate advertisements.

The game is fun and a good way to pass the time. While I doubt it will really help with receptive finger spelling (finger reading I guess) consider how morphed letters get with speed/fluency, but it is good if you’re a beginner and get some letters mixed up. However, my biggest complaint is that the colors aren’t best for such small details — rather than black on gray is should be white on black or something that makes the pictures stand out more without having the squint. I understand the images need to be small to fit more/large enough words so I hope the creators would change or change the art to something bolder for the sake of my eyes. Additionally, there was one instance which one of the words was blank, and because there was no option to not choose a word, the game could never be completed.

All the reviewers saying the graphics are too small and too low-contrast are correct. The size might not even be that much of a problem if the handshapes were, say, bright yellow on a black background or vice-versa, but they're black on a medium gray background - needlessly difficult to make out. And do people really not bother to bend their middle fingers when they sign the letter K? Because this is the second app I've encountered where K is signed with both fingers pointing straight upward, and I've never seen K taught that way. Kind of mystifying to me. But I still have a lot to learn, so maybe I'll learn about that at some point.
