Clozemaster has been my go-to app for language study now. It uses the "sentence mining" concept advocated by Glossika to show you thousands of sentences and learn new vocabulary in context.

After I got to a certain level, Duolingo and Rosetta Stone became too easy, and I found myself grinding on things that I already knew to try to get to "the good stuff". The signal-to-noise ratio was just too low.

Anki was the next step up for me and improved my vocabulary by leaps and bounds, but it became tedious to look for example sentences and make new flashcards from them. Clozemaster does this automatically, and you can choose whatever difficulty level you like.

That's the approach I've had recently. Duolingo into Clozemaster, with generous helpings of Memrise on the side. Too bad Clozemaster is awfully limited in its free version.
