Learn words by popping balloons

Every balloon carries a word. Pop the right one before it sinks β€” and Poppy remembers what you forget, so the right words come back at the right time.

Three ways to play. One growing sky.

Poppy is a real game with real stakes β€” not flashcards wearing a costume.

1

Learn

Meet ten new words at a time. Hear them, see them, pop them β€” then prove it in a quick quiz until every word is mastered.

2

Challenge

Three hearts, falling balloons, rising speed. Pop until you drop, chase your best score, and build combos along the way.

3

Review

Poppy watches what you miss and how fast you answer β€” and calls you back exactly when a word is about to slip away.

Made to make words stick

🧠

Poppy remembers for you

A real spaced-repetition engine sits under the game. Every pop, miss, and hesitation teaches Poppy when to ask you again.

My Balloons

Every word you learn becomes a balloon in your own sky. Strong words float high. Fading words sink β€” until you save them.

Built on real memory science

The forgetting curve is real. So is the fix.

In 1885, Hermann Ebbinghaus measured how fast memories fade β€” within days, most of what you learn is gone.

The fix is reviewing at the right moment, just before you forget. Poppy times every review for you, so a few minutes a day beats hours of cramming.

Questions, answered

Is Poppy free?

You can try Poppy for free. Keeping full access afterwards takes a subscription β€” one plan, everything included, cancel anytime.

I can't read Korean or Japanese yet. Can I still start?

Yes β€” that's exactly who Poppy is for. Complete beginners start with the alphabet itself, one letter balloon at a time, and graduate into words.

How is this different from flashcards?

Flashcards test you. Poppy plays with you β€” falling balloons, hearts, combos, golden rounds β€” while a serious spaced-repetition engine quietly schedules everything underneath.

Which devices does it work on?

iPhone and iPad, with one subscription covering both. Your learning progress lives on each device.

How much time do I need?

A Learn session is about three and a half minutes for ten words. A few minutes a day is genuinely enough β€” the schedule does the heavy lifting.

Your sky is waiting

Start with one balloon. Keep every word you catch.
