Accord is the only app built specifically to drill one of the hardest parts of learning Spanish, French, Italian, and Portuguese — grammatical gender. Every noun has a gender. Get it wrong, and your adjectives, articles, and pronouns all fall apart. Most language apps test you on it without teaching it. Accord fixes that. SWIPE TO LEARN Swipe-style flashcards make drilling gender feel effortless. Swipe left for masculine, right for feminine. Simple, fast, addictive. FOUR LANGUAGES, 4,000+ WORDS Spanish, French, Italian, and Portuguese — all in one app. Switch languages instantly. Every word comes with phonetics and translation. SENTENCE-BASED AGREEMENT CARDS It's not just articles. Accord teaches the full agreement chain — adjectives, partitives, indefinites — so you understand why la maison est grande, not just that maison is feminine. COLOR-CODED REVEALS After every swipe, see the complete gender agreement highlighted in blue (masculine) or pink (feminine). SPACED REPETITION Words you miss come back more often. Words you know fade into the background. Efficient, science-backed learning. WORD LOOKUP Studying specific vocabulary? Look up any noun and add it to your deck. FREE VS PREMIUM Start free with the 100 most common words in one language. Upgrade to Premium to unlock all 4 languages, 4,000+ words, word lookup, and ad-free learning. Gender mistakes are embarrassing. Accord fixes them. Key Features: Spanish/French/Portuguese/Italian Support: Over 1,000 words per language, comprising a mix of nouns complete with articles, phonetics, and translations most commonly used adjectives seen in sentences. Interactive Flashcards: Swipe left or right to match the correct article with the word. Track Your Progress: Build streaks and see how quickly you improve with real-time feedback. Learn at Your Own Pace: Choose the number of words per round—10, 20, or even 50! Engaging Gameplay: Improve your skills with a game-like interface that makes learning fun and addictive. How It Works: Studying regular flashcards is boring, but this game makes flashcards fun. Simply swipe left or right to match the word with the correct article. At the end of each round, view the words you missed along with their correct article and translation. Who Is It For?: Accord is perfect for students, travelers, or language enthusiasts who want to improve their language and grammar skills quickly and effectively.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Accord at none against Drops's shown. Accord also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 75%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Drops's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 9 months) and ratings volume (72K vs 6). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Drops sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and Accord sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Accord holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Drops has 72K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 75% of Drops's written reviews are positive against 100% of Accord's.
Drops ships an update weekly, Accord every 9 months. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and June 4, 2026 respectively.
