Ratings and reviews

Had the opportunity to use the app with someone who is deaf. The person used a pen and pad, I used "Hugo". The app allowed for work to get done with little misunderstanding. Our interaction went so much faster and much more accurate. The person was pleased with Hugo. They were able to obtain so much more info than by me writing it. The downside is that sometimes it hears me wrong. It causes confusion. Easy fix though! Just repeat yourself. Overall, it's an awesome app!!!

I really like this app! But it continues to have ads even though I paid to have them stopped. Especially because its happening every other time I ask for a word or questions. This is really frustrating when I'm trying so hard to learn ASL because my brother can no longer speak. Otherwise, compared to the ones I paid for its a great app. Please address this issue. I could give it a 4-5 but not until I can get the ads removed.

DO NOT pay to remove ads. It doesn't actually remove them! Also it costs $10, which I thought was reasonable for a one-time fee (I'm on a fixed income so I had to consider carefully before making that purchase), but it's NOT one time, it's only for a year. Which they don't tell you until AFTER you've paid! The idea of the app is great, and I like some of the features, but they only get one star until they stop scamming people.

What's new

We've made some improvements to make the app faster and more efficient. Now you can enjoy a smoother, more responsive experience, making things simpler and faster in every part of the app.
