1. [R1] Drops 2/5 · US Potential: This app does have potential and with a company like kahoot I’m sure they can make the adjustments. My main issue is the translations are wrong and you may not catch it if you are new to a language. This is important because it can cause misunderstanding it a conversation where it may already be hard to understand each other. I did make a note of this in the improvement comment box befo
2. [R12] Drops 3/5 · US Good app, but a lot of mistakes: Fun and easy way to learn language, but there are quite a few errors. For example, a word will say “el secreto” but the pronunciation will be “un secreto,” or the word will be “estás” but the pronunciation will be “está.” It’s quite annoying and makes me wonder how much of it is powered by AI.
3. [R13] Drops 1/5 · US Great until the last update: I’ve been a multi-year user and use the app every day. Since the last major update, it’s become significantly harder to navigate. The new folder structure has made it difficult to see what I’m actively working on and what I haven’t completed yet. Topics that were previously visible at a glance are now buried inside categories, and progress feels hidden. Even when I go
4. [R61] Drop The Number 1/5 · US Great game buuuut…: TOO MANY ADS. I’m not trying to watch a 3 minute unskippable ad, this game had potential but ads ruin the experience. Yall need to do better 👎(People who own this app)
5. [R4] Drops 1/5 · US Too much ai clutter: I have the lifetime membership and have enjoyed the use of this app until I was forced to update due to pop up screens refusing to let me study. Finally update and find that it's changed and for the worse. Ai art at every crevice, organization made a mess with redundant grouping where it's a duplicate of other groups. I can't just go straight to a section, I have to find where
6. [R69] Drop The Number 3/5 · US Love the game, hate it freezing on me: I’m a paying subscriber of the game. That’s how much I love it. For the last few months, the game freezing on me for a few seconds every now and then. I attributed that to my aging iPhone. But, now I got an iPhone 17 Pro Max, and the game still freezes. Please fix this issue, or you’ll lose a long standing, paying fan.
7. [R78] Drop The Number 3/5 · US Glitchy lately: I’ve been a huge fan of Drop the number for several years. Suddenly after the latest IOS26 Update it keeps freezing. I’m really bummed.
8. [R7] Drops 1/5 · US Canceled my permanent membership.. beware: Bought this outright in 2023. They shifted to purely subscription based and told me they couldn’t find any records of my purchase. I sent them the correct email and they said nothing was found. I found my purchase receipt and it was with the email I thought it was. If you had a permanent account, make sure you still have access. They apparently will ask f
9. [R40] Drops 1/5 · US My premium lifetime paid account disappeared: I have been using drops for over 3 years and had paid for lifetime premium subscription. Today all my info is gone and I am not on premium any more???
10. [R100] Drop The Number 1/5 · US Fix the Freeze!: Please fix the bugs: ads that don’t pause your game and constant freezing
11. [R117] Drop The Number 3/5 · US Years long user… Getting frustrated with new Ads: I have been playing this game a long time. I’ve endured a lot of weird bugs, waited on fixes, watched a ridiculous amount of ads with no complaints. I wasn’t even going to complain about the ads that interrupt and pause my game when playing in the regular format. HOWEVER, these new ads, specifically in tournament, that do NOT pause the game are w
12. [R15] Drops 3/5 · US Free is fine but meh: Not worth the hefty price, and it only took me 318 days to learn everything they offered. Kinda pointless after that. Just do Duolingo.
13. [R51] Drops 3/5 · GB Great but…: It’s very good for learning but limits you a lot if you don’t have premium! I was considering premium but it is £60 yearly…
14. [R66] Drop The Number 3/5 · US Good but a money grab: If you click the button to watch an ad for a free hammer, you’ll sit through the entire ad - then it will go back to the game you’re in, and you have none to use. Happened to me multiple times.
15. [R82] Drop The Number 2/5 · US Frozen ads and lost content: Ads frequently freeze or glitch causing the game to restart. Fun, for a short period but don’t get invested unless you want to spend real money.
16. [R109] Drop The Number 1/5 · US Loved it but now about to delete it: I really enjoy this game but lately while I’m in the middle of playing an ad will take over and my game will not freeze or stop. It’ll keep going while I’m panicking and trying to get the ad off. Then I have blocks in the wrong spot while the ad was going. It’s frustrating. There’s not a spot to message admin either or report an issue.
17. [R118] Drop The Number 1/5 · US Ads: After watching an ad for bonus or perks, there’s no way to close the ad. I have to close the app. Waste of time
