This is a great app for EUROPEAN Portuguese vocabulary. Of course, I am in the learning phase, so I cannot attest to the accuracy of pronunciation. One thing that could be improved, or maybe just made apparent if I am missing it, is the ability to review a section. After you complete a "tile", there does not seem to be an option to go back and repeat. The best way to review appears to be by saving words to favorites and then using that group. It's a little tedious to remember to add to faves.

Drops is well-designed, and manages to be both simple and intuitive. It's also visually pleasing, which is not the case for most flash-card/vocabulary apps. It is a great supplemental tool if, like me, you enjoy a "gamified" and slightly-more-interactive environment than a regular flash-card app. The vocabulary is mostly nouns and some first-person phrases, but has helped with both my vocabulary and pronunciation.

Interesting approach, and can use it for European Portuguese. Most apps offer only Brazilian. Update: The app is great for building vocabulary, but doesn't really help with being able to put a sentence together. Best used along with other language learning apps or lessons. Also there are issues with the payment process. I had paid for a year's full access, but it disappeared suddenly after about four months use. Attempts to "restore purchase" or with customer assistance go nowhere so far....
