Sign 4 Me App Reviews

I just got this app & was worried about the price but it seemed pretty cool. It has closed itself down several times, usually after asking me to specify the use of a word. Hope they fix this!

This is a great app if you are taking a asl course to use as a reference! All in all I would say it was worth the asking price! Wish it would not rely on finger spelling so much though... this needs some updating.

This app is surprisingly good. it shows some facial expressions and knows to combine phrases like "not yet." I don't really use any other ASL app but this one. It would be great if they updated it more than once a year but it almost doesn't need it.

idk wat u guys are talking about! This this app is the best app for learning sign language. Once u learn some words, this app teaches u how to group them in a sentence. I've been doing sign language for 5 months and yesterday I got this app. Now I am able to speak conversations bc this app showed me how! If u really wanna learn sign language, start with THIS app!!! :D

Good to add more characters but should've kept Chet. Also the sign does not repeat anymore without pressing Done again and again.

This app doesn't work properly. The virtual signer keeps disappearing without signing and different parts keep disappearing.

nice 3d and wow asl wowow

It crashes often. I don't think it is worth the price

like the fact that you had more characters but replacing it was not what i expected, also the display of the words is too small. i can write that small, but to make notes that will matter letter, this device with this app was small, going even smaller i was not a good choice, and the intro that you have now is very ghetto. you had a good product, changes are always welcome when it’s for the better... these ones, not so much

I have a lot of deaf workers at work and this helps me learn key terms to effectively communicate!

Ok so yes this app doesn't use proper grammar. But it does a wonderful job translating signs. And some sign is better than none. I also love that you can pinch and zoom in and out on the character. And if swivel and turn the character to better see whatever sign you want. Incredible. I would like to see more improvement in the character details. Especially his hands. That will make it much easier to see, also make the character be more fluid and natural. Then the app will be perfect! Thanks I love it!

This app use to be great and is still great but only on my iPhone. No longer opens on my iPad. Stays in black screen. Please fix!

This is a great tool for communicating with sign language. Thanks

Upset that it's all changed. Liked the first virus on better.

I took a chance paying 10 bucks for this app, hoping it would do what it said. Well I am totally amazed at how great this app is. Just like it says, type in a sentence and watch the Avatar sign for you with each word you typed below as he signs. The 3D feature works great, allowing you to turn the Avatar on either side and watch him sign from a side view, overhead view or even underneath view. Speed him up, slow him down and he'll just keep repeating the signs over and over again. My wife is an advanced sign lanquage interpreter in our church but I haven't been able to learn from her. This app will sign over and over for me and not get frustrated with me.lol

This app is fantastic and helps so much for those learning ASL. I would only hope to see some updates with more common words. It seems the guy spells a lot of my phrases out instead of using the proper signs. But I do not regret buying this app at all though! Keep up the work dev team!

It's really good but they should explain how to do the sign too.

Too much signed English. Needs more glossing. Perameters would be helpful!!!!!!!! I do like how it can change speed but needs less f.s. Plz improve this app

IT IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!! i mean you dont need carry the fat dictionary book or ASL dictionary book. If someone said Hate... u check the books looking for "Hate" i dont know what is mean plus if u go out somewhere read the books or something not sure they have ready ASL for you SOOOO that one not mean " ASL" like good sign language skills no no same idea The books dont have "ASL" real same thing that one good app carry with you if they can sign language for you one word or garmra but good thing i learned new word i was like wow this help me more clear with write like t.v " should we get playing" not mean "get" have other mean too that make sense make me understand and more clear that not mean "ASL full deaf curtle" that not mean same the dictionary sign language book not show like that i like it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hope

Oh em gee this is such a rip off. It needs way more words but atleast it can tell u sentences and not 1 word just by itself

Words like to and if are letter spelt. That should be upgraded please

Needs an expanded vocabulary. When I type a word it will present me with multiple meanings and ask me which alternate word I meant. However, if I try to skip this by just entering the alternate word then I get finger spelling. I would like a button that re-centers the avatar to default pose.

Missing many useful words. If I wanted to spell everything out, I wouldn't need an app for that. Also treats the words "gay" and "lesbian" as if they were swear words and ignores them completely - obviously a conscious decision on the part of a homophobic design team. How strange and sad that they chose to ignore the needs of gay and lesbian deaf people.

Of course, it would have been helpful if I had read the description before purchasing, HOWEVER: this is not ASL. I don’t really get the point of signing the way this app teaches. It’s confusing to me. I got this app to help my boyfriend communicate with my family better and it doesn’t really help much. Just confuses things more when there are plenty of us who can just translate for him.

Too much fingerspelling when the Sign already exists. Too much Signed English. NOT a good tool for those trying to learn ASL! Wish I could return this app. I need REAL ASL, not this.

Fingerspells almost every word I've looked up. I'm surprised at all the positive reviews. For $10 I expect more. Examples of words it fingerspells: noodle (tho it does sign noodle if you type in spaghetti), dawn, bubble, suds, koala, panda, llama...

I like how it works but everytime I type a phrase it crashes.

App not working with words that have more then one meaning

It's not just SEE thats a problem, numbers are off, as well. Bummer. Definitely check with a deaf person first, or prepare to look stupid. I agree, too many words are also finger-spelled vs. signed. Please update and fix this. I will then update my review. Ive taken ASL classes up to level 3, and this covers some material thats at a level 3, but some things in this app which are in ASL level 1 (for beginners), are missing!

This app is amazing! Though, it should have more features like being able to customize your character, putting in your age to show curse words, using correct ASL grammar, or changing the finger spelt words into ASL. But, other than that, it's an EPIC app.

It's alright but it keeps crashing when I type a sentence. Only works when I type one word at a time

I have been using this app extensively for 7 months, and it works well.. I do see a need for improvement. Maybe there can be a added feature that allows you to type in a sentence then have it translated back in sign. Most if not all sentences typed come out as English and not asl. Also some sign are not what I have been taught as in the translation classes I have taken in school. Much improvement need but a great reference for beginners.

There are quite a few words I entered that are being finger-spelled when I KNOW there is a sign for it ("swing", "pumpkin", "melon") ... There are also some signs that are WRONG ("rooster", "chicken") My other beef is I wish the speed control would remember its' setting between app uses. Hopefully all these things will be improved.

It's the best. However there are Words that have a sign it's doesn't know it though. There should be a option for either ASL or English. It spells a lot... There are signs for something that it doesn't know. This app needs a major update to some signs. Overall it's barely worth the money. It's good, just not $10.23 worth it.

I work in a college and occasionally I have to wait until the interpreter arrives and this is a great app to initially communicate with deaf students. However, how do you use different avatars? I have been stuck with Jack ever since the upgrade and sometimes I would like to try a female interpreter. Also, I was not able to contact the developer on their site and that’s why I did it in a review. If anyone can help me, I would be appreciative.

Some words are missing but overall this is a great app to learn sign and the ability to rotate and slow down makes it easy to get the signs right.

Just needs more vocabulary added

I loved this app & used it a lot before Chet was replaced by the two new characters. I have no problem with the characters, but the font is soooooo small, I can't read it! HELP!!! I just downloaded the latest update today, 10/14/17, and I still have the font size problem. Plus, when I touch the ‘X’ to stop the signing of my word so I can choose another, it doesn’t stop!

App has crashed. Down loaded it several times. Frozen and pixelates. Can't do anything. It use to be my favorite app. Please fix it

Easy to use. I don't use it super often. When I do I have no problems with using UI.

I’ve never seen an update make an app that much worse!! Why focus so much on new characters that are difficult to see (not to mention: scary looking)?? I miss the old guy! The whole update feels like a backwards step.... the intro is so awkward ...all that needed to be improved was vocabulary and phrases.

I have used this app for quite awhile, but I clearly hasn't been updated for iPhone 6 Plus as it flickers badly. Pls update.

This app is so amazing! It has helped me alot through any signs!!!!

Doesn't include a searchable dictionary, finger spells out words that clearly Do have signs... They cut way too many corners with this one.... I'm sure it will be a 99 cent app in a month ot two. Dissapointed.... Not as expected.

It's alright if you have no experience with ASL however it finger spells allot of words and doesn't use proper sentence structure. True ASL will drop some regular words typically used in spoken English to save the signer repeating words like "the" allot. Needs to improve on that allot.

Deleting.

Terrible lag and character choices, really ?? Marco and Alyssa?

In my profession of speech-language pathology, I thought this would be an incredibly worthwhile and convenient app (nearly instant availability of signs vs. lugging a signing dictionary around & stopping to look up unfamiliar signs). This was actually one of my first apps purchased and to date (months & months later), at least 50 - 75% of conmonly occurring signs for which I've searched have been fingerspelling! For an app developed with input from fluent signers, I expect to find signs for the words I search. I must say, though, that the avatar and different views available ARE outstanding!

Ugh!! For $10.00 I'm pretty disappointed in this. What's up with all the finger spelling??!!
