I'm struggling.

Moved from Duolingo to Babbel, I like it a lot when it works. However, it's full of bugs and hangs, especially on the speaking part, which is the bit I'm weakest on.

I'm looking for an app which is an all rounder, but does a good speaking section.

My naive language wasn't well developed as a child and I've been playing catch up since. Babbel has been helping. I don't want to subscribe for a year and find that most of it is wasted because the app doesn't work.

The web page seems to work well, but much prefer doing my French learning on my phone.

Would appreciate any help. Not sure Pimsleur would be a good fit, as it misses the general language grammar I'm weak on. I've ordered a book recommended by a Redditor: English Grammar for Students of French https://amzn.eu/d/6O0BjWM
