Droplets: Drops for Kids

Parents need to know that Droplets: Drops for Kids is the kids' version of Drops: Language Learning -- both of which offer bite-sized, interactive vocabulary drills in 37 languages. The games use text, audio, and pictures to help promote learning. The app provides a brief tutorial and visual prompts to support the directions, which are meant to be intuitive and merely require kids to tap, swipe, or trace. Droplets: Drops for Kids is essentially the same app as Drops: Language Learning with a few key differences. First, the kid version focuses on vocabulary that's more of interest to kids. Second, there's an additional topic section for learning letters in foreign alphabets. Finally, there's a parent section where, after entering their year of birth, parents can access a parent section where they create multiple profiles so that more than one kid can play. Parents also purchase or manage subscriptions from the parent section. The free version has some limitations, including a max of five minutes playtime per day and some locked content. A subscription unlocks all content and eliminates time limits. In the free version, there are also pop-up ads that clearly encourage kids to buy a subscription, though kids need to enter a qualifying year of birth to access the page where they can make a purchase.
