When I was learning Spanish I first tried a variety of apps and cds and at least for me none really worked. What did help, was basically creating my own handwritten handbook on how the language works, drills, usage examples, etc. Not just writing it down, but visualizing it. E.g. making little drawings where on the timeline all the different grammatical tenses lie. Still to this day, many years later and without any clue where the physical handbook is, I still often mentally pull it up when I'm not sure on how to say something.
