I feel that with Polish I had great success starting with a basic textbook, then just reading and looking stuff up as I come across it. Of course, there's issues even with that in Welsh...
Yeah, it isn't the best app, but for me it's better than nothing, I do wish it explained grammar and sentence structure and things like that, and the lessons were on more useful things. But for me it is more a starting base, I do have one book and one dictionary, but plan on getting more books, listening to music in German amd looking up stuff on YouTube, I just wish the app Babbel wasn't so expensive to subscribe to, seems like a good app.
