Ratings and reviews

It's a great resource! It was really intuitive to use and the cards to study are so great. It does have an option to cache the videos but it doesn't seem to work for me. There is a bug where lately with the review function where it stops working near the end and I never get to "finish" a set and see the stats. When fixed it'll be 5 stars. I'd also love if I could share lists I make with family so we don't all need to group the same things, of if there were pre-made "modules" feelings etc

The app has lots of signs and pre-set sign collections, but there are several signs that don't match what I'm learning in Dip. Auslan including regional variations outside my region or older signs, and for some, additional variations are only visible in Signbank which makes the revision function complicated. It would also be great to be able to add to existing lists from multiple devices rather than having separate collections on my phone to my laptop. Really hoping this can be fixed easily! :)

Great resource, with updates still coming. It can only get better. The only recommendation I have for the developer is to allow us to put only a single sign for a word, phrase, or letter (if we chose) into the lists e.g. I don't need the word for fire, fire a gun, and you are fired in a list preparing for camping.
