Best app for learning Spanish? (hexbear.net)

Disclaimer: I haven't done any research up to this point.

I've always liked learning Spanish but have never felt fluent or even conversational, just directive or able to recite practiced phrases. I took two years in high school, two years in college, and worked in a Latino-plurality community for a decade, so I have a grasp and appreciation for the language, but would like to be better at it.

I tried Duolingo ~10 years ago and thought it was just ok not great.

I tried Rosetta Stone maybe 5 years before that and didn't like it at all.

I'm going to look into taking adult ed classes at the local cc; and I know in person is the best way to learn, but schedules are hard and phones are easy

What's worked for you?

Babbel seems pretty good for vocab. HelloTalk allows you to speak to people who are fluent in your target language.

After you get the basic foundations down it’s really just about interacting with the language, you will slowly pick things up after that.
