As they say in Russian - yay (wow!)
Outstanding app for learning Russian in short sharp bursts. Really helps if you can manage a couple of 5 minute sessions a day or at least one every day or two as repetition seems to make the stuff stick much better. I’m using this along with another app called RusAlphabet and they complement each other nicely. After 4 sessions I’ve noticed I’m suddenly reading the Cyrillic letters instead of the English and getting much faster for words I know. Thanks for this app!

iOS 9.3? It's not working for that.
This has iOS 9.3 required, but it crashes on two max 9.3x devices I still use. I just bought the lifetime premium, and I have nothing to use it on at the moment besides a computer where it's not saying the words like in the app. Very disappointed as this needs to be fixed to support older devices again.
Original review:
It has great pronunciation and an easy format, but there's never enough time and the prices are outrageous. The worst part is watching those seconds tick away trying to spell some of the longer words. As the app doesn't seem to have any verbal check, if I can't say the words correctly yet I can't begin to spell them correctly. I would easily spend an hour a day over two sessions instead of the little base of five minutes each session. The prices make me think I'd need to spend ten hours a day to get any value.

Amazing way to learn
It’s fun and addicting, if you like to see your progress. I absolutely love this way of fun learning. I’ve picked up so much here that I can relate to Russian television. I did pay for the full version because like I said it’s addicting and I hated waiting for the word reload. Though when it did reload I was so excited! I recommend the full version if you’re trying to learn a language fully. And quickly. It’s honestly one of my favorite apps. Only one thing the Доброй ночи should be changed toСпокойной ночи. The previous way is no longer used. Other than that, I love it.
Recently for some reason it still shows that I’m premium but it has removed my premium rights. I literally use this everyday so I’m highly upset about this. I didn’t pay for this app to just all of the sudden not allow me to use it. And then to try and seek assistance is so difficult. Not sure what happened but hope it’s resolved soon. I’m not paying again.

need to be able to use words instead of pictures
i love how this app works except the vague pictures really ruin it for me, an option to change the images (eg someone waving) to words (hello instead) would make it an easy 5 star
Love this app!
I’ve always wanted to reconnect with my ancestry by learning to speak Russian, but always found it too daunting to approach as a native English speaker. I mean look at that alphabet...it’s so strange!
Everything changed when I found this app. It’s made learning Russian approachable and easy, but most importantly, FUN!
There are multiple ‘games’ / approaches to learning words and letters, which keeps things interesting, along with goals and a streak system to keep you motivated and coming back daily.
TLDR; if you’re searching for a fun and effective app to learn a language with (and are willing to spend some money) this is the app for you!!!

Great learning aid
I really like this app and have been recommending it to friends and colleagues.
I use another app, a book and an audio book for the car, and this app supplements my Russian learning for what I need.
It is great for building up a vocabulary bank of nouns, and the 5 minutes a day (non-premium) is just perfect for what I need right now. I think as I become more advanced I will invest in the premium. Not a replacement for the hard work that is required for learning languages, but certainly makes life a lot easier and, if anything, it's fun!

Almost there
This app is very cool. It provides a way to learn the pronunciation, meaning, and alphabet in a very intuitive way. The only problem is the pay wall. I understand that an app has to make money, but it pushes away a lot of users when a large portion of the experience is locked behind a subscription. It would be easier if the app were a one time payment, or less of the experience was locked behind a paywall.

Design
Love the colours and the graphic design. Simple and engaging. Making little puzzle to break up sections of the words to make your brain work a little is great too. Looks awesome from here. Thank you.
I love Drops!
Drops is amazing for me! I wrote a review on the other app, and I like that the two apps have slightly different pictures for the words, allowing my word-object association (does that make sense?) to be even stronger! Thank you for this app! Like I said in the other review: I love the use of pictures, the time limit and the audio and the fact you get a written version of how to say it! The only thing I would say to improve is the audio quality but other than that- amazing app! Thank you!

So far so good!!
It's my first day using the app and actually by the first steps I really like it!!!
It makes you remember the words by repeating as many times as possible which is a really perfect feature in this app!!
Recommend to the people who just want to know something about Russian language in order to communicate a little bit with Russian people but not anything more!!!
