ASL Fingerspell Dictionary
I became severely deaf in the last five years. I have been learning ASL with a tutor during the last year. I find receptive fingerspelling one of the harder aspects of learning to communicate in ASL. The ASL Fingerspell Dictionary is very helpful in this regard and fills a need not available otherwise . The displays are clear. The pace of presentation very adequate. The progression of difficulty well chosen. And to top it all, after finding a bug in the application and contacting Tech Support I received a reply within two hours acknowledging the problem and promising a prompt fix. Two days later I received an email alerting me that an update was available in the App Store. Installed and working!!!
Certain signs are not correct.
I’ve only recently started using this app and I’ve noticed the the person does not sign the letter W in the word Week. I’ve replayed it several times and Fingerspelled along with her. She spells eek. I guest and added the letter M to spell meek, and got it wrong. If this app was free that would be no big deal. But I expect 0 flaws and errors from an app that I paid money for. Doesn’t matter how small the amount is I still paid for it.
Hard to make out the letters
I agree with the other reviews- the woman doing the finger spelling is terrible. It’s like trying to learn a language from someone who mumbles with a heavy accent. Not good for beginners at all. I can’t believe that why she signs the E, with her hand turned to herself so you can barely see it. It’s frustrating, and not in a good way.
Landscape mode please
I want to be able to use landscape mode for typing the answer, why? Because I have a Smart Keyboard and its easier to type with that than portrate.
Great App!
This is an awesome app. Thank you to the people that made it.

This is a great app! Still needing practice “reading” asl, this app does a great job. I mostly use the Learn feature and set it to play-all. True the app only goes uo to 5-letter words but it’s a great start. I highly recommend this app to all non-expert signers!!
Hand position
-At times it’s very difficult to make out some letters as she doesn’t have good positioning of her hand facing the receiver (us using the app) -Also with the poor positioning of her hand... when she blends letters halfway (which is common in FSing)... you can’t make out what letter it is, even in slow motion because of the bad positioning of her hand. You have to guess or fill in the blank. -adding more words / higher letter count words would be awesome. And please have the signer face her hand out front, not inward to herself. That’s so weird, even with beginners all the way to full on Deaf people and instructors, never have I see someone fingerspell inward. -3 stars because of her hand positioning. Otherwise this would be a great app. -maybe make a 2nd version (I would pay) or add on this one for higher count words + add numbers. Something like the price of an item, years, age of a person, would be good for number practice.
