Best app I’ve used for learning Spanish
Not for absolute beginners, but once you have a grasp of the foundations, this is excellent. You can listen at whatever speed you like, target to individual sentences at a time, view full translations as well as key words and phrases, can listen with a transcript or without or even with part of one. Most importantly, you get to hear wonderful stories.

Effective
I ditched Duo for JiveWorld because I needed something to boost my listening skills. The stories are real, represent multiple accents from around the world, and are engaging. Listening at .8 speed, being able to study at my pace, and chunking sound bites allows me to use the app in a way that is most effective for me. I consider JiveWorld the most effective part of my practice - which includes a tutor twice a week, listening to other sources, book reading, and studying. I would recommend for anyone who is serious about developing listening skills.

Listening comprehension for intermediate adult learners
At last. A program geared for intermediate learners who can read Spanish but can’t comprehend the spoken word. Fantastic, in-depth feature stories, carefully researched and crafted by NPR-sponsored journalists, kept me coming back EVERY DAY. Not only am I learning to listen, I’m also learning so much about multiple Latino countries and cultures. What a pleasure!!!
