ASL Bloom - Sign Language 4+

Great App

I’ve been using this app for a little over a week now and have progressed to the subscription chapters. I’m impressed!! It teaches in simple yet effective videos, quizzes, and matching. I especially like the flashcard section to practice signs already covered without redoing the teachings!! Too bad this is only a premium option. This means that once you’ve gone through all the lessons and don’t need to continue to subscribe you’ll lose access to all the flash cards you paid for previously.

It’s not a cheap app, unfortunately, which will limit some on purchasing the subscription. Also, it’s a bummer that it doesn’t support family sharing so the kids can learn under their own account without having to purchase multiple subscriptions. I just can’t afford that. They’ll have to use my account even tho it will be inconvenient to keep up with who is at what lesson. But for the price, no way will I pay for multiple subscriptions just over a convenience.

Overall its a good app, subscription service could be tweaked so that certain things, like the flashcards, could be lifetime access. That tweak might make it a great app. So I’ll use it and subscribe for a bit but it won’t be a long term app I’ll stick with.

Great App: Well Designed for Beginners

ASL Bloom features an intuitive and user-friendly design, showcasing a commendable effort to create a comprehensive learning experience. I believe that everyone should have a basic understanding of American Sign Language, and this app is a great resource for those starting their journey.

As someone with foundational knowledge of ASL, I found that the free version only covered material I am already familiar with. This made it challenging for me to explore the app’s full potential and what additional content might be available.

While the subscription price—$100 per year or $48 for three months—may be a barrier for some users, I recognize that it could be a worthwhile investment for others. I would love to see an expansion of the free content, which could help users like me better assess the app’s offerings and encourage more learners to dive deeper into ASL.

Good app but HORRIBLE glitch. Also needs improvements.

I downloaded this app to learn some sign, it was pretty good, until i encountered this stuff. First is sometimes only one sign teacher does a specific sign. This makes it easy when they ask, “what’s this sign” and you immediately know cause that teacher did that sign. I am really happy that there’s no paid ads, but it’s pretty annoying every lesson you get a, “you’re doing super well! Upgrade to premium now” ad. Then there’s the horrible glitch. When I did the 1-3 chapters it was fine. Then I tried to click, “start new lesson Manners!” But it immediately put me to colors, which I had unlocked but was still 2 chapters away and didn’t wanna start it yet. Did I mention I already finished manners but it said I didn’t and wouldn’t go away from my “start new lessons?” I finally just did that one lesson on colors and after I went to a new chapter that I just unlocked and DIDNT wanna start yet?! Also it doesn’t tell you what lesson you’re on which is pretty annoying. I don’t wanna delete the app cause I’ll loose my progress but I can’t finish all my other lessons!
