The ads aren't disruptive - they appear at it end of a lesson, so that's well timed. Overall, the app is effective. However, I wish the Cyrillic characters included both upper and lower case (these are quite different in some cases). The Roman phonetic notation is a little confusing - i.e. both e & Ń are phonetically described as "e", even though Ń makes a "yo" sound and e makes a "ie"/"iye" sound. I'm not sure why Š¹ is described as "j", though that may just be ignorance.

Love this app! But... The "Collection". (to see the words you're working on) sucks. It takes forever to load. After it loads, it's super laggy. There's an option where you can hide a word so you don't practice it anymore. I love this option but it rarely works because this part of the app is too slow. 5 stars if this was fixed. The actual practice\learning part of the app is cool though. I paid for a year subscription. I am definitely building my vocabulary! This app is a daily habit of mine.

The drops concept is fun, easy to use and effective for learning vocabulary and pronunciation. A couple things I wish were different are the voice, which I wish I could change to a less high-pitched one, and the spelling exercises, which don't split the words in their actual syllables, making things unnecessarily confusing. The two-day rule notifications are a good idea but they seem to have a bug where I keep getting them occasionally even though I haven't skipped a day in several weeks now.
