Drops is a good app for what it is. That is, increasing your vocabulary in a language. However, it should NOT be your primary method for learning a new language. It doesn't teach senstence structure or grammer and overall doesn't really challenge you enough. Alone, its not going to do a lot for you. Alongside a more complete method such as a more substantial program or a teacher, its great to have.

As an extra boost to learning vocabulary, I reccomend drops! But, I can't stress this enough. This is not a suitable replacement for flashcards, but a supplement to them. Since you rarely have to think or type in the words yourself, it feels more like a game than a true study session. You have to pay if you want longer than 5 minutes a day. Here's my advice, wait for a sale (there are many) and get the lifetime membership. I reccomend this app, just be realistic about the results is all.

The presentation of what this app offers is really well done however, by only offering words, it has no way to allow you to learn grammatical structure to then use those words in a sentance. Overall it's a fun vocabulary builder. Certainly worth the download if this is what you are looking for.

Hi Nick, Thanks for playing Drops! We understand the need for grammar and sentence construction, but we built the app mainly to encourage users to learn a wide variety of words in a foreign language. We believe, Drops is a great complementary tool as it provides a building block for learners to enhance their vocabulary.
