It's 1 of the best tagalog learning apps I've used. My only qualm is that it's purely memorization. It doesn't teach sentence structure. You memorize common sentences used. The native speakers say them quickly, so it's hard to catch while using the app. There's also quite a bit of english words used which falls more into the category of Tag-lish, not pure Tagalog. I recommend people watch Tagalog Time w/ Pat on YouTube. Where this app lacks in, she explains them well.

the pictures get harder to reme mber as you learn more words. I wish it had English words to match the picture to make learning easier. you will mix up pictures when they look alike. I have trouble retaining information from brain injuries as a child so learning may be very challenging for me. though this app is helping I am retaining some words I remember when I wake up in the mornings. it has been great so far to learn Tagalog . at $60 a year I hope to buy the subscription soon to keep on.

Love how it teaches you to spell and say the words, but the 3 minute timer is needless, it ensures you don't retain what you learn and to unlock the app fully, you need to spend $70 and up, that is far too large of a price. I'd say remove the timer and let people learn 1 full course set, like cooking works and stop them there, the 3 minute timer isn't needed

Drops Tagalog offers a fun and engaging way to learn the language. The app's gamified approach makes learning new words enjoyable and memorable. However, the subscription-based model might be a barrier for those on a budget. While the app is great, the one-time purchase option is too expensive for many.

I haven't spent much time with the app yet, but it's pretty good so far. One complaint so far is that I'm pretty sure that the graphics for weekend and weekdays are swapped. The graphic for month is the entire calendar highlighted in white, the graphic for week is the week highlighted in white. Weekdays is the weekends highlighted in white and weekend is the weekdays highlighted in white. This inconsistency is confusing, so it'd be great if this was fixed.

I have learned languages from a variety of programs. Duolingo and Ling included. As for the substance of the lamguage, this program is pretty good. They do know the material. However it's not to my taste. I feel lost trying to navigate the program. And it's annoying the way this it prompts me.

I enjoy Drops! It's convenient to access. I get to learn new words in Tagalog in creative ways that make their way into my memory and subconscious. The subjects of vocabulary are interesting and cover many areas. I do recommend Drops to anyone who is starting out fresh as a beginner to any language as Drops is available in many.

good, gives you word knowledge I'm not too deep into the app so I don't know if the app gives you sentence practice but from the looks of it, it looks like it doesn't. despite this fact I'm very pleased with the amount of learning I've done so far, this app is really helpful, however your amount of learning each day is limited to the amount of time you chose in the beginning, so chose your time wisely

Really excellent way to learn words in the language by tiny "drops" at a time. And then reviewing them periodically to help you retain it. It's probably not for you if you need to learn a language really quickly, but for overall retention, convenience, and fun (yes I said it, "fun": this is much better than rote memorization, tho it accomplished the same thing), I can't think of a better way to learn a language.

I am loving this app, been using it off and on now for a year and a half and ended up getting a subscription and have had no bugs/crashes during my entire time using it. The lessons are very useful for beginners and are kind of like flashcards in a way so they get repetitive which is great that way you can really hammer down on some of the words! Also they have a whole bunch of topics to learn from like food/drink, travel talk, foundational words, animals, and the list goes on!
