Keeping it Fresh: A New Layout for Drops

We’ve cleaned up the construction dust and sent the bulldozers packing — it’s time for our next big unveiling.

Unveiling the new Drops app layout

Introducing Our New Category Layout

There are big plans in store at Drops, and so we’ve reorganized the layout of the app in preparation for what’s to come. Categories now have a new layout so our language topics are more neatly organized. This makes it easier and faster to browse our ever-expanding content and find the right words at any given moment.

The Drops homescreen

In short? Rather than having to scroll through more than 100 word lists, you can now easily access new study material as a part of broader categories. And by broad, we really mean broad — there’s even a category for sci-fi and fantasy words.

New Continue Learning Feature

Additionally, we’ve added a new “continue learning” section that now appears at the top of your screen. This means you can easily access and continue the last topic you practiced faster and more conveniently.

What This Means for Language Learners

With the new category layout and continuous learning features, using Drops is more streamlined than ever. Everyone from beginner to advanced users can now easily dive into specific topics they want to focus on and take their learning to the next level more directly. You can find word lists and new topics quickly with the new layout, and pick up where you left off the moment you open the app.

We’re committed to continuing to make language learning easy and fun, and these updates are a big step towards simplifying the language learning process while simultaneously making it more enjoyable.

"Love my fun language learning and practice with daily Drops sessions, and monthly Challenges to participate in, and quiz mode to test contextual learning - brilliant! So much thought, consideration and inclusivity has gone into the design and function of this app, I can't praise it highly enough."

Lee-Anne Fox

"Great little learning app! I've learned at least 5-10 new words in Spanish in my first 5 minutes. Easy to pick up and thorough."

Simon Griffiths

"Great language learning app! It helps you get daily words done in a short amount of time. I would highly recommend using drops to learn whatever language you want to learn."

Colin Seladones

"What an amazing app! I’ve tried several apps for language learning and I cannot recommend Drops enough. I don’t know how a short Drops session can teach me as much as 1 hour+ of focused use of other apps, it’s like magic."

Merindel

"Amazing language learning tool. Excellent app for increasing vocabulary in your foreign language of choice. Useful for beginner, intermediate, and advanced learners. The repetition of the words makes them much easier to remember, and without the hassle of making your own flash cards. I have used Drops for two years now and have seen great results."

"Very engaging way of learning Yoruba in a stimulating way. Will be using to learn myself and to teach my child!"

"Less than a week in but using this alone with the popular one babbel working on German. When using just one app I got bored, babbel is not as fun. So using both at once actually let's my adhd do its thing but I still focused since I can switch easily between both apps and work in different areas. Also I like the quick little sessions makes me feel like I actually did something."

Diana Morris

"So engaging. I speak Spanish well, but often forget words in conversation that I know I should know. This game is fun and quickly brings back vocabulary I may have put in the back of my brain after not using it for awhile. Case in point: I spent 11 years in construction, then went back to teaching in English and/or Spanish depending on the teacher/student"
