Great app, love the word of the day feature. Have been teaching out son baby sign language, decided we should keep going.

Andrew Wilkinson

Have been using the app on previous version and was great, problem with new interface is it crops the video on the bottom, you can no longer see the hand gestures around mid stomach down.

Willie Marsters

Video cropped so cannot see sign

J Stewart

What happened with the new update? I loved the old version, why did you have to update?

Rod PP

Very cool. I'm learning and will try to teach my kids too

Tanya Crosswell

It's ok but would be good if you had a list of words to look up. Seems to be nothing to download for learning baby signs, there are for other countries but not NZ. Sad really we have a deaf grand baby and want to learn for her. Apps good but hard to navigate

Video feature not working The video feature has stopped working :( have tried uninstalling and reinstalling but no luck. Have also cleared all cached data etc. Loved the app when it worked but it's on the fritz and needs fixing

Georgina Burns May 5, 2017

Great app! Cool you can search in English and Māori. Would really like a 'random' button, ie allows you to search for a random word to learn, like word of the day but another one! =) keep up the good work!

Jay Shulamith May 12, 2016

I love that it's searchable in both English and Maori! Plus the videos (accessible by swiping left or right) are fantastic!

Elizabeth Tillery June 5, 2016

Loved it It helped me so much! It helped me communicate with my boyfriend without people eavesdropping.

Nada Rose-anne January 5, 2017

Awesome Love the video feature, very helpful & makes it way more easy to make sure I'm doing it right ☺ but I wish there was basic sentences & the alphabet.

Miu Phillips June 17, 2017

I love this app. Has worked great in the classroom. It would be great to add a feature that allows you to build a bank of words to view later. Some phrases and basic alphabet would also be a great addition.

paul pearce May 18, 2017

It is a great app but the video do not work anymore. Please fix because it is easier to learn through visual.

Dave Moskovitz May 4, 2016

Decades of painstaking, thorough, and loving research in your pocket.

Justine Gamble June 19, 2017

Great help. Easy to use. Love the incorporation of English and Te Reo Maori

Vipin Jha November 2, 2016

Very useful I can't think of any better way to learn signs on your own than this. On it's own it is good, If you have data for the videos then it is great.

Devan Robinson July 26, 2014

Great app My little one is not hearing impaired but this is a great app to help her communicate. It's magical when our 10 month old signs back to us.

Lydia Jackson July 31, 2013

Just what I needed We are learning sign language as a whanau because our youngest child is non verbal. This app is a life changer, thank you so much for creating it! I love the video feature as it means when we need to use a new word we can quickly learn it and use it straight away.

Morgana Watson April 5, 2016

Awesome!!! Simple & easy to use but the most impressive thing is the incorporation of Te Reo. Thank you. Trust those who use another language to think so innovatively.

April Clarke January 31, 2016

I recently decided to start learning sign language with a friend, and this app is so helpful. I find that the video feature helps me understand the signs much better. Awesome app!

Bruce Mutton March 2, 2016

Wow. But needs to promptly abort attempt to play video while off line, as it hangs for ages before advising 'cannot play this video'. Works well online though.

Jepha Purple March 9, 2014

So handy (ha). Awesome to have in my pocket when I forget a sign or learn a new one.

Denisha Noviski December 24, 2015

I love it I watched a show call switched at birth and I figured out that sign language is a beautiful thing.

Melissa Robson June 25, 2014

A great app Amazing that such a great app could be free. Just needs definitions for the symbols used to show hand movement.

NZSL Online May 11, 2013

Version 2.0 fixes the video display problem on newer Android devices. The symbols used in the diagrams are pictorial representations and don't really have definitions themselves. The latest version also shows handshape information for each sign, which may help clarify the diagrams. Thanks for your feedback!

Rose Fisher August 16, 2013

Really useful! Thanks for this app! We are doing baby sign as well as teaching our older homeschooled child NZSL. The diagrams and videos make it simple

rachel prince March 23, 2015

I use it daily Great to remind me of signs I have forgotten or learn new ones. Great for the kids to check their own knowledge. The search is pretty foolproof too.

Jimmy October 24, 2014

This is great... This is a great reference. Videos are cool too - now that I know how to use them... 5 stars!

NZSL Online October 16, 2014

You can see the videos for each sign by tapping on the picture of the sign. Thanks for your feedback!

Zahra Dry February 7, 2014

Great All i want to do is learn sign language cos it looks interesting and this helps so much for all the times im not sure what the sign is for somehing
