Ratings and reviews

Really good app showing all kinds of signs. It's good that there's a more than one person per sign that shows different variations. One thing that would be very useful is if you could add a sign to your favourites or even better create different favourite categories and organise the signs as you please. Otherwise you have to search for the sign everytime toy go in and you have to find the variation that you're looking for by going through all the possible videos which makes it time consuming.

This is an app I use everyday, very useful although needs some level of quality control to be 100% trustworthy, as some content is not always accurate snd you need to use your own judgement or outside sources to check (videos by grey shirt man with blue background are usually the best!) Also recently the app has stopped allowing me to search for another word after I've searched for one already, as the keyboard no longer opens when I click in the search box. This bug means that I have to close the app and reopen it when I want to search again. Just a very recent thing, as for most of the rest of the year before the last month or two it had worked fine.

This seems useful as a learning tool. It's not in any order tho, you can search for signs but if you want to string words together it will be difficult. You can't set videos in an order to watch and learn in sequence as you would writing words on a page. There is a lot available and showing different ppl signing shows you don't have to be exact. The only main issue I have is with the speed of the examples, some are too fast to see what's going on, even with repeat play on.
