Common questions
What makes SignDaily different from vocabulary flashcard apps?
Instead of memorizing isolated signs, you watch complete conversational exchanges. This trains you to follow real-speed sign language, facial grammar, and conversational turns.
Where does the curriculum come from?
Lessons are adapted from the San Diego City College ASL curriculum project led by Melanie Nakaji and shared on LibreStudio under CC BY 4.0. The full six-lesson library includes 90 original comprehension questions.
How does self-rehearsal work?
You can record yourself repeating a turn using your front camera and view your clip alongside the reference signer. The video is saved only to your device, and nothing automatically grades your signing.
Does SignDaily require a subscription or account?
No. SignDaily requires no account registration. Lesson 1 is completely free, and a one-time in-app purchase of $2.99 permanently unlocks the rest of the launch library.
Can I use SignDaily offline?
Yes. All video lessons, comprehension questions, and review scheduling run locally on your device without an internet connection.
