After I realized the leaderboards and achievements don’t matter my progress plummeted.

Matter in what way? I feel like getting the achievements and stuff is useful just as a gentle motivator to open the app and do at least a couple lessons every day.

Overall though, it's not the greatest way to learn a language. Its better than doing nothing, but not as good as studying seriously via other means.
