User reviews
The app has a good concept and beautiful setup, but the characters don't always translate the words given. I did simple sentences, and from the small amount I've learned from ASL, some of this doesn't appear to be correct. Also, I know this app is free, but including ads every five seconds will not help anybody learn. Also, where are the characters facial expressions? They appear to be quite blank looking. Maybe this is just how I feel, but the app is not for me.

Can't try to translate without paying. Must make a log in. This is trash.

I downloaded the app and none of the buttons worked. Very sad as I have family friends I wanted to communicate with to give them the freedom as I'm learning ASL.
