Uno, dos, tres... and then? Learning Spanish is hard. What makes it harder is that you have to memorize all these numbers from tres to catorce to cincuenta to God knows what. Here's the good news. Play Digit and you will learn all those numbers and millón tons of other useful Spanish phrases with no effort whatsoever. Okay, maybe not cero effort since you have to tap some buttons after all. And it's free! Sure you have to watch some ads to play for free but... if you hate that you can remove them forever with a tiny purchase, and that would help us create more cool products like Digit. Lastly, you're an amazing person for reading the boring description this far. Muchas gracias afición, esto es para vosotros. [:mav: 1.2.9]

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Digit at none against Drops's shown. Digit also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.6). Drops's advantage is ratings volume (72K vs 5) and chart position (#178 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Drops sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and Digit sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Digit 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 5, so its average is the more settled of the two.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Drops ships an update weekly, Digit every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and August 21, 2026 respectively.
