“The short answer is that you can definitely learn some things from an app, but if you want to become fluent in a language — or even conversational — they won’t be enough.”

Instead of these apps of marginal utility, I recommend checking out Live Lingua, which has the Foreign Service Institute, Peace Corps, and U.S. Defense Language Institute material, both books and tapes, available for free. A wonderful resource that covers just about every language of any significance on the planet.
