You don't have to find time to learn. It finds you. A question pops up on your phone during the day. You answer right from the notification, without opening the app, and carry on with whatever you were doing. It fits between two sips of coffee. What you learn is up to you: English vocabulary, exam prep, general knowledge or anything else. Make your own quiz, question by question. Or if you don't feel like it, type a topic, AI drafts it and you adjust it. How it works ⢠Pick a lesson and set how often questions should come. ⢠A question waits in your notifications until you have a moment. ⢠Go through all the questions or only the ones you keep missing, in order or shuffled. ⢠Set quiet hours and questions wait until morning. When you have a bit more time, on the bus for example, start a round right on your Lock Screen and questions come one after another for as long as you like. You can also answer on Apple Watch. For each lesson you see what you already know and what deserves another round. A few questions a day add up nicely over a week and a month. Free and Dropling+ Free gives you two lessons of up to ten questions, and AI can prepare two more for you. Dropling+ gives you as many lessons as you like, up to 80 questions in each, 10 AI lessons a month and sharing lessons by link. You don't need an account and there are no ads. Your lessons and progress stay on your phone and reach your other devices through iCloud. Dropling+ is an auto-renewable subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. It renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the period. Manage or cancel anytime in your Account Settings after purchase. Terms of Use (EULA): https://dropling.app/terms?lang=en Privacy Policy: https://dropling.app/privacy?lang=en

Where does the light in your room come from? What happens to water after it goes down the drain? Why does it rain? Sciencity turns the everyday world into a living picture your child can poke, change and even break, so they can see how things really work. FIVE JOURNEYS, STOP BY STOP ⢠How electricity gets to your house: make power with a dam, a coal and gas plant, a nuclear plant, a wind turbine or the sun, then follow it through the generator, the step-up transformer, the power lines and the substation to your light switch. ⢠Water to your tap: collect water from a lake, a well, the sea or a rain tank, clean it, pump it into the water tower and send it through the pipes to your home and back out to the river. ⢠The water cycle: watch the sun lift water from the ocean, forests, lakes and ice into clouds, then bring it back as rain and snow. ⢠Natural gas to your home: follow gas from deep underground, a ship or a farm digester through processing, compressors and the city gate to your stove. ⢠Building a home: pour the foundation, then add the frame, the walls, the roof and the windows, and move the family in. CHANGE THINGS AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS Every stop has something to try. Open the dam gate, start a storm on the power lines, burst a water pipe, take the dust out of the air or leave the steel out of the foundation, and watch the whole scene react. MISSIONS AND A QUICK QUIZ Each journey has missions to collect ("Find a rainbow", "Run the light, fan and TV at once") and ends with a short quiz. GROWS WITH YOUR CHILD Switch between ages 5ā9 and 10ā14. The pictures stay the same, but the explanations go from simple to more detailed. Tap "Read to me" to hear any explanation read aloud. MADE FOR FAMILIES ⢠No ads ⢠No in-app purchases ⢠No accounts or sign-in ⢠No data collected, and nothing leaves the device ⢠Works fully offline ⢠Supports light and dark mode, and respects reduced-motion settings Questions or ideas?
