I love it! The swiping and sliding insteadnof typing is verg useful and simple! Although it doesn't show mang of rhe grammar rules, or how to use the words in a sentance most of the time like Duolingo does. But, the pronounciation is very easy to understand in comparison to Duolingo's Danish course (it's been having trouble with the audio for quite some rime now). Both apps are very helpful however and I reccomend both! I only wish it gave you more than just 5 minutes!!

Good app for learning words, but its biggest shortcoming is that it doesn't teach the gender of the words. This is very disappointing as the gender can determine the meaning of the word just as much as the word itself, for example, en frĆø = a frog, but et frĆø = a seed, there would be no way to know this using this app and it really limits one's ability to use the word in a sentence. I understand that the app's focus isn't on grammar, but in the Danish language, the word and the gender of the word go hand in hand, without both it is useless to know one or the other. It would also be nice to have the plural included as well, but I can understand not including this as this could get too much into grammar, which doesn't seem to be what the app wants to focus on. Otherwise, the app is very aesthetically pleasing and is intuitive to use, if the above mentioned missing features are added, it is definitely a 5 star app.

I've just started using Drops, and so far its really slick, fun, and I prefer the gentile colours (compared to other language apps which can be a little brash). I've also learnt words I had never known. The variety of ways to learn new words I've found simple to use. Just a good way to kill some time when waiting or a top up to learning a new language.
