Introducing your secret weapon for learning a new language… LingoPix is a vocabulary building system that combines pictures, audio, and interactivity to make words memorable. Build a deep vocabulary with thousands of picture flashcards • Tap the picture to hear the word for it spoken by a real person. • Tap again to hear it pronounced s-l-o-w-l-y. • Trying to remember a word and want a hint? Rub the empty area of the flashcard to reveal the word letter by letter. Learning words with pictures is great! • Pictures help your brain connect the letters and sounds of a new word with its meaning. • They enable immersive learning. See just the words of your new language along with pictures to explain them. Keep away words in your native language. • Learning with pictures is casual and digestible. When you have a little downtime, instead of picking up your phone for something mindless, treat your brain to a few new words. LingoCam. A fun new way to learn the words for things around you. Just point your camera at an object and hear the word for it spoken aloud. LingoCam operates with AI object recognition built with machine learning. A telescope lets you see faraway things. A microscope lets you see small things. LingoCam lets you see things in a new language. Perfect your accent with Speech Studio Record your voice, then hear your pronunciation compared with the teacher’s. You’ll be amazed as your accent melts away. Learn anytime with hands-free mode Press the Play button and cycle through words hands-free. Learn while exercising, doing housework, or cooking. Smart shuffle. Like a pipeline to pour words into your long-term memory. Smart shuffle is a unique spaced repetition system where each word to learn has a temperature. New words start “hot”. Hot words are reviewed frequently. “Cold” words are reviewed periodically, enough to retain them in long-term memory. Make an action plan Within seconds, create a personalized action plan to target the most useful words in the language. Just pick a goal and date, tap a button, and plot a course over the coming days and weeks to reach your goal. Receive a reminder on days of the week you’ve chosen for learning. Open the app and find a pack of “words for the day” prepared for you. Customizable flashcards With different program modes, you can choose to: • practice recognition of words from writing or from speech. • practice recall of words from memory. • fine-tune your accent. • repeat words many times in a row, when you want something to play in the background.

Verdict
Drops and LingoPix both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 75% of Drops's written reviews are positive against 38% of LingoPix's. Drops also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (72K vs 79). LingoPix's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
