About

Dropling

Features
Read 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 • Gradually – questions arrive as notifications, spaced sensibly apart. A question waits like an ordinary message, and you answer when it suits you. • Intensively – 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 – on iPhone and Apple Watch. WHAT DROPLING GIVES YOU • New knowledge in passing – you learn in small doses through the day, without long concentration. • Learning when it suits you – you decide when to answer. The app fits around you, not the other way round. • A clear view of progress – 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 – and what you already know, you simply reinforce. Download Dropling and learn in small drops – whenever and wherever it suits you. Dropling+ is an auto-renewable subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase.

Brain Games is a mental workout for the whole family, ages 6 to 80+: 75 games that adapt to your age and level. Five minutes a day is all it takes. • ADAPTS TO YOUR AGE: when you start, you pick your age, and the games you see, the words, the time for each challenge and the starting level all change to match. Little ones can play without needing to read. • 75 GAMES IN 8 AREAS: memory, attention, speed, flexibility, logic, math, language and spatial reasoning. • BACKED BY SCIENCE: every game is based on a real psychology test (Corsi, n-back, Stroop, Wisconsin, Raven, Tower of Hanoi…) and explains why it works, plus a tip for using it in everyday life. • ALWAYS AT YOUR LEVEL: every game has 50 levels and gets harder or easier on its own, based on how you play. • TODAY'S WORKOUT: a few minutes with one game from each of the areas you've practiced least. • LEARN AND REMEMBER: spaced repetition so you don't forget what you learn (flags, capitals, times tables, history, science), plus short lessons on memory techniques. • FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY: a profile for each person, with their own age and progress. • WATCH YOUR PROGRESS BLOOM: your brain flower, levels for each area, 24 medals and your daily streak. • PRIVATE: no account, no ads and no tracking. Everything stays on your iPhone. LET'S BE HONEST No game makes you “smarter” across the board. You'll get better at what you practice; staying active, sleeping well and learning new things count too, and the app reminds you of that. FREE FOREVER One game from each area with its first levels, the daily 3-game workout, one deck, 3 memory techniques and your progress. Cerebro Pro Unlocks all 75 games with all 50 levels, every deck in “Learn”, all the techniques, profiles for the whole family, 3-, 5- or 7-game workouts and the full details of each game. Cerebro Pro is available as a monthly or yearly subscription (the yearly plan starts with 3 free days if it's your first subscription) or as a one-time lifetime purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless you cancel it at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; you can manage or cancel it in your Apple Account settings. If you cancel during the 3 free days, you won't be charged anything. With Family Sharing, up to six people in your family can use it.
