Like the set up apart from you can't search for a whole phrase like 'i love you' and after I search for something whenever I click on the search bar to look for another word my keyboard won't come up and I have to close and open the app to use it again.

T70%
by T####:

Unfortunately this app does not function, simply suggesting that I needed to check my connection to the internet and giving me constant error messages about connectivity whenever I attempt to search anything.

Great app. BSL should be free. I have worked in the care services for a long time. But still costs money to speak to the deaf. Mental! Thank you

U70%

Unless I am mistaken you can only search for words and phrases. You cant just browse what is available. It would be much better, quicker and easier if you could. Especially if they were grouped by topic or level. Without that it is tedious to search for every individual word and keep going back to remind yourself.

T70%
by T####:

It would be better if didn't have to restart app with each new search. Please let me know if this issue will be resolved. As it would get higher rating from me then. Also no phrases have worked yet just single words, however can see other people have found phrases so maybe the phrases I want just aren't there. Otherwise best app out there as various videos and similar words come up ???????? .

E70%
by E####:

Was working fantastically. Unfortunately it only let's me search for one phrase, then won't put the keyboard on the screen to search again. It makes it boring to have to keep restarting the app each time you want to look for more than one phrase. Still, a fantastic resource otherwise!

Y70%
by Y####:

It's okay, but some of them are different to the others. Would be great to have a page of everyday phrases we could click to learn

U70%
by U####:

I think this app is great but it doesn't let me search more than one thing unless I quit the app then go back on. Please fix.

K70%
by K####:

really helpful (i love the way i get to compare different ways of saying the same thing, helps expand knowledge) - only downfall is once I've looked up a word and tap the box to write in another word, my keyboard doesn't come up. i end up having to close the app after each word searched.

I have a HTC phone and it just shows a connection error everytime I type something in

Z70%
by Z####:

This is a great app for searching for signs, my only issue with it is once you have found a sign and you want to search again, the keyboard does not seem to appear.

T70%
by T####:

Its ok but alot of words like names are just not there.

G70%
by G####:

Would be great but have to exit app for each word as keyboard won't come back, or would be a 3 or 4. Full sentences for 5 stars

M70%
by M####:

This is by far the BEST sign language app I have found. I use it all the time, even though I live in New Zealand. NZSL could learn a lot from this app

Z70%
by Z####:

I love the app however when I search for term, I can't seem to be able to search for a new one :( I have to keep closing the app then reopening it

Fix the need to quit the app in order to search for a new sign and add a way to save favourite signs and it will be 5 stars.

This app is a must for anyone starting out in BSL. By far the best I've used.

T70%
by T####:

Nothing found for any search I did

N70%
by N####:

Absolutely fantastic app!!! I don't know what I would do without it. I am learning BSL, all the words I have ever looked up are there (except just a couple of quite specific ones), signed in few different ways as well, so you can learn to recognise several ways of signing.

N70%
by N####:

video can be slow to load. video play etc controls often hidden and difficult to access. seems to load mobilesign videos best. English descriptions for words sometimes inaccurate. signs sometimes inaccurate! e.g it offered an NZ sign rather than a UK sign.

V70%
by V####:

This app is this best I have used, I am trying to learn sign on my own and this is a good app, to get started with. Its helped me to communicate, with some of our deaf customers and it puts a smile on their face to know someone can communicate with them, without them having to watch a person's lips
