American Sign Language is a fully developed natural language rooted in the lived experience, history, and cultural identity of Deaf people. ASL education carries ethical, linguistic, and economic responsibility.

This app raises serious concerns regarding cultural appropriation and representation. When ASL instruction is developed and monetized without clear evidence of Deaf centered leadership, primary authorship, and equitable participation, it risks perpetuating longstanding inequities in which Deaf knowledge is used while Deaf professionals remain underrepresented in positions of authority within their own field.

In addition to these structural concerns, the app contains notable linguistic inaccuracies. It references LSF (Langue des Signes Française) in places where ASL is clearly intended. ASL and LSF are distinct languages with different grammatical systems, lexicons, and sociocultural histories. Conflating them suggests insufficient editorial oversight and weakens the academic credibility of the instructional content. Such errors raise concerns about whether the material has undergone rigorous review by qualified Deaf experts.

Digital platforms can expand access to language learning. However, responsible ASL education must be Deaf centered in practice, linguistically precise, and accountable to the community from which the language originates. In its current form, this app does not meet those standards.

I cannot recommend this platform at this time.

Love the app but….its buggy. It’s saying I did not pass the evaluation portion on the first chapter of the assignments when there is not option to press anything ??? It’s not letting me continue because it’s saying i didn’t pass that part but there’s no option it just says ‘continue’ …..

Update I deleted the app to restart my progress and it’s the SAME thing. Only having issues when it comes to the evaluation part. It’s saying I failed but I got it all right so it’s not letting me proceed…

I love the system but it won’t let me pass chapter one. I’ve done it over and over again but would keep saying continue even though I’ve finished them.
