Printing products is a vital communication media for everyone. Nevertheless, the role and importance of printed materials have changed due to the rapid development of the internet, social media, and digital technology. This has impacted the printing industry globally.

In the academic realm, sign language mobile apps are an exciting research area that deserves a lot of attention. These apps are largely utilised because of their low cost and convenience. However, for these apps to have a real impact, their quality should be assessed. Such an assessment will motivate app development efforts and thus present a successful development methodology for new apps. A systematic literature review (SLR) search was conducted on three academic databases, namely, Science Direct, IEEE, and WOS and identified (n=33) research related works. From the SLR, it reveals the lack of assessment of sign language mobile apps and none of these apps had undergone a quality assessment in term of standardized approach.
