  • First impression

    Very good. I want to learn Russian as I’ve been thinking of joining the army and the biggest obstacle I face is the fact that the English language is totally different to the Russian language. With this in mind perhaps the only improvement I can think of is that when the new words come up they could be separated into syllables to make them easier to learn.

  • Pretty good, but I have a suggestion.

    I have been using this for a bit to learn German, as other apps or resources have not helped much. Thanks to this, though, I have had a better understanding of it. But, I warn beginner learners that this app has ‘Bitte’ as ‘please’ in English. This is not correct. It is, in fact, ‘You’re welcome.’

    Anyways, my suggestion is that they add some way to communicate and practice what they’ve learned, such as what duolingo does, or have a conversation set up so you can pick what you can respond with.

    That’s all, thanks!

  • Great for learning

    I have the free version, and the 5 minutes a day learning really makes you value the time and focus well. Lots of repetition to make sure you don’t forget

  • Love Drops, but not crazy about the update

    I love Drops to help me learn useful Russian vocab in a fun, easy way. It was especially helpful when I was just starting our and didn't know how to read the Cyrillic alphabet. I actually like the time limits imposed by the free version, as it prevents learning from becoming too exhausting. I had had issues syncing between two devices, but that has been resolved. That being said, I'm not crazy about the latest update. I don't hate it though, but I liked the old version better. It's nice that the different topics are grouped thematically and that one section from each group got unlocked by the update. But the groupings also made topics nonlinear, which makes it harder for me to pick which vocab area I should learn next. It's almost overwhelming to have more freedom in what to learn next because now there's less structure. I'd like it more if users could have the option of using the app with the old configuration or the new one. Still a great app to assure language learning!

  • Great App, Would Recommend. But...

    I’d like to start off by saying that this is probably the best language app I’ve found for free. It’s greatly helped me in learning Russian. However, recently I’ve been having trouble with it. Namely, it will say that it “Failed to load sound files,” then it will only play small portions of each sound, seemingly at random. If there is a solution to this, I’d love to know, so I can continue learning. ^-^

  • Fast easy way to learn

    Fast and easy way to get some practice in without pulling out your notebook! Perfect for on the go and keeping yourself in practice even when you “aren’t feeling like doing it”.

  • Awesome

    Awesome. Just awesome, maybe make a thing were you have to type out a word or letter for better remembering. You would hear, Da and you would have to type the letter. 10/10

    Hi, Thanks for playing Drops and giving 5 stars to the app, we really appreciate it! We designed the session length for beginners, but you can get extra learning time for free by watching ads and referring Drops to your friends and family. Is there anything else you think we should improve on?
  • Great for learning words and pronunciation

    Lots of words. So far I haven’t seen how they are put together. I wish the American English pronunciations were visible first when learning a new word as that is how my brain recalls the word in my memory. After that, the Russian spelling can be worked on (my personal preference.) Need to improve the English written “sounds like” word. Some are way off what it sounds like. I can make and use my own. I also include separating it into stables with the accented syllables marked clearly. I think accented syllables could speed up the learning. Thank you.

  • Just a few minutes using it but looks good

    Pretty cool so far.
  • Really good!

    What I love the most about the app is that isn’t tacky and changes approaches in learning, looks innovative and I really enjoy it. However what really put me off is your assortment of “native languages” - you have very few offered. Now I have to learn Russian through English, while my native language is a South Slavic language and therefore it would be SO MUCH EASIER for me to learn it through Croatian/Serbian, rather than English..
