Most language apps on the Galaxy Store are over-scoped: a vocabulary trainer that also wants to teach you grammar, also wants to gamify your streak, also wants your email. Vivid Collection Irregular Verbs is the opposite. It is a flashcard table of English irregular verbs with Russian on the other side of the card, and it does not pretend to be anything else.
That clarity is its case. English irregular verbs are a specific homework problem in Russian schools — a finite list, a known exam format, a predictable kind of frustration. An app that targets exactly that problem, in the student’s native language, on the device a student is likely to have in their hand, is more useful than a general-purpose course that buries the same drill three menus deep.
The ceiling is also visible from the front door. Without audio, without spaced repetition, and without progress that survives a reinstall, this is a textbook chapter rendered as an app rather than a tool that meaningfully improves on the textbook. For the price — nothing — that trade is fair. For a learner who wants more, it is the start of a stack, not the whole stack.
It does one thing, doesn't try to be a course, and treats Russian as the native side of the card.
FEATURES
Vivid Collection Irregular Verbs is a single-table drill app — three forms per verb (infinitive, past simple, past participle) with a Russian gloss on the native-language side. The vocabulary set is the standard English irregular list every Russian school textbook leans on, the same fifty-to-one-hundred-fifty items that show up on the OGE and EGE state exams.
The training loop is flashcard-shaped. Verbs are presented in batches; you tap to flip, mark known versus unknown, and the unknowns cycle back. There is no spaced-repetition scheduler in the Anki sense — the app is closer to a paper deck than to a memory-curve algorithm, and the session ends when the deck is clean rather than when an interval is due.
Localisation is the design decision that matters. The interface, instructions, and translation column are all in Russian, which is exactly right for a high-school learner drilling vocabulary on the family Samsung tablet. There is no English-first onboarding to wade through and no assumption that you already speak the language you are trying to learn.
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED
The scope discipline is the win. A lot of language apps on the Galaxy Store try to be a full course, fail at it, and leave you with three half-built features. This one picks a single textbook problem — memorise the irregular verb table before the exam — and aims at it directly. The verb set lines up with what Russian schools actually test.
Being free with no sign-in is the second quiet win. A teenager can install it, drill for fifteen minutes between classes, and uninstall it after the exam without ever creating an account or handing over an email address.
ROOM TO IMPROVE
The drill is mechanical rather than considered. There is no audio for the verb forms, which is a real gap when the whole point of irregular verbs is that the past-tense pronunciation is the part learners get wrong (read–read, lead–led, the entire ought/aught family). A native-speaker recording on each card would change the app's ceiling.
Spaced repetition is the other obvious absence. Once you have cycled through the deck a few times, there is no mechanism to keep weaker verbs in front of you longer than strong ones — every session starts roughly the same way. For a free single-purpose drill that is forgivable, but it is the difference between a study aid and a learning tool.
CONCLUSION
Worth installing if you are a Russian-speaking student staring down an English exam and want a focused, no-account, free drill on a tablet you already own. Less interesting if you want pronunciation practice or long-term retention — Quizlet's free tier and Drops both do more for the same zero rubles. Watch for an audio update; without one, this app is a textbook page, not a teacher.
