Hi

Do you also say hi by waving instead of the “correct” “salute style”? Or is it just me?

traveling oversees ad issue

I’m traveling overseas and on a resort’s captive WiFi. For some reason the skip content button does to appear once the Google Ad is done playing. No matter how long I wait, it’s happened everytime I finish a lesson. I suspect the API call to the ad server is being blocked? The way around it was to use one of my boost to get 3 days of ad free content. That is working.

why just why?

I just realized that on the sign language videos that they want you to do in the lessons to like figure out what signs they’re doing the girl who is doing it she only does half of a sign like instead of using two hands. She uses one hand on the ones that are supposed to use two hands luckily I figure it out, but it is so confusing.

Delineate b/w his/her/it vs your

I just came across a question where the sign was either like a his/her/it then brother but the answer was allegedly your brother. The sign for your is not the same as the sign for his/her/it. Why would the answer be your brother when the sign for your was never given but the sign for his/her/it brother was given? I shouldn’t have gotten it wrong when the video had the wrong sign.

alternative signs

Sometimes alternative signs are provided when introducing a new word, but not always. But then when questions are asked in the exam, an alternative sign is used that was never taught. The two examples so far have been breakfast and lunch. The words for breakfast and lunch are taught, but then in an exam, the alternative of time frame and meal are used instead. Like “morning meal” signs are used instead of breakfast. Or “noon meal” is used instead of lunch. But we are supposed to use the translation as breakfast and lunch in our response. It is intuithve so not a big deal, but still should be part of the education that either approach can be used to sign the type of meal.

sign Order

Still struggling with sign order. I am seeing the signs and I understand what is being said, but when I go to answer and I get it wrong, it’s because I’ve got a word out of order. Meanwhile I’m never taught what the actual order should be. There’s one section that talks about “topic then comment,” but there’s nothing in any of this process that actually provides education on how to do the order. And I have found it is not consistent either. There’s never an explanation as to what the actual answer is. I cannot learn if it never gives me the right answer. I go through the exam, I get a question wrong because I have a word out of order and it never tells me what the right answer is so I never learn. This needs to be fixed in this app.

Video and sign Clarity

The video for “I want fruit for lunch” in section 4 is very hard to tell the signs. The sign for “I” is never given. For the sign for “lunch” it is too hard to see the L shape of the hand. I watched that video at least 8 times trying to figure out what the signs were and just had to guess because the signs were missing if not clear, even once I saw what the answer was, I watched it again and there is never a sign for “I.”

Incorrect?

In the beginning when it's teaching you the alphabet, q, p, and k are OBVIOUSLY wrong!!! I'm currently trying multiple apps and they all have different signs compared to this one. I'm beginning to question which is right, and if I should uninstall because you can LITERALLY LOOK IT UP AND THE APP IS WRONG! Fix your game.

Lock in developers!

Why do you start with the alphabet. I think they should start with different basic signs instead of the alphabet because it can seem repetitive and not engaging. I hope you add a feature where you can look and flashcards or answer questions about the words, letters, or phrases you've learned so far.

ASL APPS

Hi! I really like learning ASL and ive been doing my own research on other apps to compare and contrast what’s the same and different with signs. My question is are there any other ASL apps that’s free and easy to learn?? I would like some recommendations ☺️

Beginner's question

Why is it that the letter K hand sign is different from Google? I'm a begginer so I'm a bit confused

Confused

Hello. My league has frozen. I have been at gold 3 for three weeks. Today, it was supposed to up me to the next level but it didn't. Has any one else had this problem?🤔

PERSONAL WORD BANK

Is there any way you could add a feature where I can see and review all the words I’ve already learned? Like flashcards where u can swipe right and left if you memorized it or not. Spaced repitition. For reference: DuoCards language app.

No More Subscription!

Before, all the Spelling Advanced and Game Vault games were free to be played. Now, you have to pay a VERY expensive price for a subscription. Also, everyone should be able to see the different views of the signs we are learning. It makes it harder to understand how to sign specific words. Please just take the subscription away. Everyone should be able to learn well for free.

Glitch (5/7/26)

In "Adjectives 3" of Section 14 of the Intersign ASL app, it seems the app won't let me move on from or pass the fourth lesson, since the right answer is not even an option. "Summer vacations are always short" is what the app wants, but all it provides is, "Summer vacation is always short." Please try to fix it by the end of the day tomorrow, 5/8/26, if possible, so I may be able to keep learning with my streak unbroken and others may, in addition, too. I wish we could type it out, as well, but there's no option for that. Thanks for your time and attention and I look forward to hearing from you. Take care.

Sign variants not taught

In lessons you will taught the required vocabulary at the start of the lesson, and sometimes you will also be shown potential variations of those signs. However I have found this is not consistent. Such as in the Animals 1 lesson, you are taught the sign for cat. This is a somewhat large two handed sign where with open hands you mime whiskers on your face by pinching your index and thumb together on both hands and pulling them away from your face. There is no sign variations mentioned, however later in the same lesson you’re tasked to translate someone signing “Cats are beautiful” which should be simple, except the sign for cat is different. It’s one handed, closed fist, but still miming a whisker at least. This isn’t the only example but it is the first one I’ve encountered where I felt entirely confident what sign I was taught was different than what I was tested on. If this is to try and help us determine signs through context clues then I guess that’s important, but it would feel better if I was told that’s what I’m doing instead of having to give it my best guess when I’m supposed to be learning how to interpret a sentence. I’d really like if either these alternative signs were taught, or if the questions with untaught alternative signs were framed as a way to encourage us to interpret signs we don’t know, and then after answering the question, there was a section that said “Good job! That is another sign for cat” while showing the alternative sign in isolation, like we see with other signs

Ads locking up phone

Please fix your ap IS? It was annoying when ads started popping up DURING lessons. Now it seems to be the Acorn ad starts during a lesson AND won't close no matter what you do. To the point that you have to restart your phone. I can't be the only one and really don't want to stop using IS since I use it almost every day to keep my asl sharp but if all its going to do is lock up my phone in the middle of a lesson,I'll have to.

lower or remove

Pls lower or remove either the adds or the payment for the subscription because I was having fun doing the advanced spelling then it just cut me off and I don't have money to pay for that and adds are just annoying
