Your thoughts on language learning apps?

I want to hear some input regarding this topic. I have had neutral experiences with an app called "Babbel". Good, not great, for German learning. 

However, I have heard that apps like "Duolingo" are actually not the best choice when it comes to getting serious about the matter. Not throwing hate here, I bet is a good app, It's just not for my needs. 

What are your thoughts? Do you have any apps you can recommend or have they proven to be not "good enough"? For what reason?

I totally get what you mean! I’ve used both Babbel and Duolingo too. Duolingo is fun and keeps me consistent, but I feel like it doesn’t go deep enough for grammar or real conversation. Lately, I’ve been mixing apps with YouTube lessons and language exchange chats — that combo works best for me so far!
