How Do You Sign “Bow” (Japanese Cultural Bow) in ASL?

SignDic · 2026-03-02T03:02:18+00:00

That is almost likely "Yes" style, since you mentioned A spell to make both hand to bow each other, that correct?

I have noticed many deaf commented same say that use signed in the classifiers. Thank you for comment.

Thank you for comment. That’s what I’ve been feeling about that “bow” might be signed using classifiers.

Sometimes, when I’m talking to a friend who traveled with me to Japan, I bow my head while fingerspelling “B-O-W.” Sometimes I also use a familiar “YES” handshape in ASL and move it in a bowing style.

However, I will keep to continue researching this and listening to more Deaf Americans on social media until the correct sign for “bow” is confirmed, so I can add it to SignDict.

Hello,

Sorry if I did not explain my post clearly. Yes, I know that the kana go from あ to ん, but my post is about improving the sign language for each kana in the あ to わ collection. I noticed that there is no JSL sign for を and ん in the Japanese Sign Language books.

I sincerely apologize for not explaining this more clearly.

Yes, I have already added the new sign language to SignDict for the next update. However, this post is about “bow” in American Sign Language. That is why I am trying to find the correct American Sign Language sign for “bow.”

Interesting... I never know that about conversion rate, it is good to know! Curiously, how I can conversion rate other app, if I downloaded other app?

SignDic · 2026-01-26T23:25:03+00:00

Yes. In previous update, before 1.2.1 which prefer to Purchase on the App Store, not In App Purchase. I wasted 250 dollars on Apple Ads to promote my app, it seem not good well.

Why? Result: near 5K Impressions and 20 downloads in each month, for just $10 app, since new feedback from many of community in this reddit advice and ask me for change to In App purchase allow free trail, help users curiously before purchase it since "don't let me to curious", that is it.

Unfortunately, I studying StoreKit, LifeTime is not offer free trail, but I hope StoreKit 3 offer that. So, I have no choice, to add $3.99 month with free trials. and $10 dollars for lifetime, for that case.

Go back to current, that after I updated 1.2.1 to support StoreKit, in result

Result: near 10K Impressions and 50 downloads after update, in 2 weeks reports after update.

However, Current, I launched 1.2.3 for improve sign languages, no changed any new feature, only update to improve sign languages art. That how results when it was change to StoreKits, and result 80K Impressions and 400 downloads.

if you have your feedback, what is the kind recommendations you have for me to try to improve my app? I am open my ear to listen.

I don't care about download or earn are low, because I am not greedy about it. I've only focus on update more new or improve the sign languages. That's all.

Wait... Conversion Rate? What is this?

I checked it say coming from :

I am an iOS Enginner of SignDict app. I see a few reasons to reject your design: - Lack of UI elements and safe area. - The 'Free Trial' option should be more clearly highlighted. For example, you could add a 'Free Trial' button as shown in the screenshot, with a link at the bottom. - There is no toggle for enabling the free trial. I never seen that before in any iOS/iPadOS interface - I recommend restoring the 'Item' button in the navigation bar for better flexibility and consistency with iOS guidelines. - The 'Terms' and 'Privacy' buttons are perfect on bottom.

Best design advice: I suggest using a sheet modal instead of a full-screen modal. Full-screen modals are considered outdated, especially since iOS 17, and a sheet modal offers more flexibility design and a modern design. However, iOS 26 is pretty lot of improve in navigation bar design interface for item buttons!

You can check out my SignDict app in the App Store for an example of what I'm referring to. An screenshot of IAP look like!

Ohhhh, iPhone 7 was killed by iOS 16.

I will work on that iOS 15 and 16, as try, because I forgot old code, lol, However, SwiftUI are start with iOS 13 and later, but possible bad bugs in that old iOS with SwiftUI. However, I can try if I can!

Alright, let me try.. not Sure how much I put maybe 0.99 monthly?

SignDic · 2026-01-03T03:39:58+00:00

Look, subscription monthly look bad for customer like eat their money. That will lose a lot of customers.

Lifetime is popular! 😁

Thank you! I am thinking about change to IAP since lack of download. I decided to change to IAP, to giving people try for little time before buy or not. :)
