Dropling
Read full descriptionHide full description
Dropling is a learning app that fits around your day. No need to find a free hour or sit over books. Instead, every now and then a single question arrives with two to four answers. You pick the right one and carry on with whatever you were doing. That way you learn something new without having to spend hours in one go. CHOOSE HOW YOU LEARN โข Gradually โ questions arrive as notifications, spaced sensibly apart. A question waits like an ordinary message, and you answer when it suits you. โข Intensively โ when you have a spare moment, on the bus or waiting somewhere, start a session right on your Lock Screen. Questions then come one after another for as long as you enjoy it. AI BUILDS YOUR LESSONS No need to think anything up. Just type what you want to learn and the AI prepares the questions and answers for you. Then you can start right away โ on iPhone and Apple Watch. WHAT DROPLING GIVES YOU โข New knowledge in passing โ you learn in small doses through the day, without long concentration. โข Learning when it suits you โ you decide when to answer. The app fits around you, not the other way round. โข A clear view of progress โ for each lesson you see what you know and what still deserves another round. ARE A FEW QUESTIONS A DAY ENOUGH? Yes. The strength is in regularity. When you revisit material at sensible intervals, you remember it far better than after one long cram. A few questions a day add up to a fine stack of knowledge over a week and a month โ and what you already know, you simply reinforce.
