The ASL App review
A low-cost iPhone app for learning conversational ASL through video bundles.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
The ASL App teaches conversational American Sign Language through video-based signs and phrases arranged in themed bundles. It is designed for beginners and casual learners who want to practice on an iPhone, whether learning with friends, family, or Deaf community members. The app includes more than 2,500 signs and phrases, multiple Deaf signers, a search index, slow-motion playback, video scrubbing, pause controls, and a favorites folder for review. Its focus is practical conversational learning rather than a broad language-learning platform.
Pricing is straightforward. Free bundles cover the ASL alphabet, Numbers, Universal Gestures, Handshape Exercises, The Basics, and Colors. Individual paid bundles cost $0.99 one time and add themed sign and phrase collections. The ASL App Pack costs $9.99 one time and includes all paid bundles plus future bundles and releases. These options make it possible to start without paying, buy only selected topics, or access the complete bundle collection through one purchase. The published plans show in-app purchases rather than subscriptions.
The strongest fit is for iPhone users who want an accessible, low-cost way to study conversational ASL in short sessions. Playback controls support repeated review, while search and favorites help learners return to specific signs. Downloadable bundle content also suits practice away from a continuous connection. The narrower platform focus is the main limitation: this is an iOS app, and its offering centers on video bundles rather than a wider learning ecosystem. Choose it for affordable mobile ASL practice; choose another option if you need Android access or broader platform coverage.
