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?

IMO there's only so much an app and interacting with a computer can do.

If you're willing to spend a little skrilla, italki has one-on-one online tutors that you can hire for very reasonable prices.
