ASL Bloom vs The ASL App

ASL Bloom is an app and online platform for learning American Sign Language through video, interactive lessons, and a visual dictionary. Its library contains over 11,000 signs, including variants and common phrases. Lessons are short, taught by native Deaf signers, and include grammar and culture tips. Quizzes and flashcards are designed to reinforce signs and target weaker areas, while the curriculum presents Deaf conversations in everyday settings such as cafés and classrooms. The service is available on Android, iOS, and the web. Free access is described as three complete modules, and the website also says free users get two lessons each day. Premium plans include full access to premium content, regular updates, and priority support; the 12-month plan costs $98.99 a year. Business plans include modules, spaced-repetition quizzes and dialogues, a searchable visual dictionary, and progress tracking. The maker describes ASL Bloom as a learning tool, not a translation service, and does not guarantee fluency.

The ASL App teaches conversational American Sign Language through mobile lessons on Android and iOS. Its library contains more than 2,500 signs and phrases presented by different signers. Learners can save favorites, slow videos, and tap or scrub to pause or revisit sections. Lessons are available offline. Free bundles cover the alphabet, numbers, Universal Gestures, Handshape Exercises, The Basics, and Colors. The maker lists more than 25 bundles in total, with additional bundles planned. An individual paid bundle costs $0.99 a month, while The ASL App Pack costs $9.99 a month and includes 25+ bundles; individual bundles can also be bought once for 0.99 USD. Accounts are not required, and the maker says it does not collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, or typed personal information. Crash reporting and advertising providers may collect limited technical and device data.
