Reviews

Reviewer: National Association of Deafened People (NADP), UK
Review: “Apps certainly have the potential to make life easier for deaf people—though very few products are addressing this market. This particular app can be very useful for deaf people in some situations. At present, though, it only seems to be available in Apple.”
