I highly recommend this app. I have tried several others, including Duolingo, Hello Chinese, and Rocket Chinese, and so far this one is teaching very well and very quickly! I am doing the Chinese course, but I also tried their Italian, German, and Spanish. They all seem just as great. I had already studied pinyin before I started their Chinese course, which made it easier however. I advise others to learn some pinyin before you start their Chinese course as well, if you want to make it easier.

Great for language-learning practice! Although for Italian at least, it's a bit dated, teaching the formal second-person pronouns/conjugations instead of casual second-person which is more commonly spoken (I just started level 2, and I've heard casual second person is eventually included later). Also, the voice recognition is a bit finicky, and I'd like more lessons on grammar. But this supplements real-world language lessons very well, and moves quickly, causing fast and practical progress.

So far the lessons and associated exercises are enjoyable. I like the UI, it's dense but easy to use. One gripe: when listening to each lesson by aux in my car or by bluetooth headphones, there is a "crossfade" that omits the first second or so off each sentence which is jarring and makes it impossible to follow the speech exercises. I assume this is because lesson is not one full length audio file, but each sentence is a separate file. No other audio on my phone does this. Please fix!
