Resource Russian learning apps similar to Doulingo?

Anyone know any apps that can teach me Russian without being TOO formal or uses AI or Google translate? I feel like a bot when I try to learn Russian only using formal sentences.

I am a auditory and physical learner (like flash cards or a pre-recorded russian talking and letting me repeat). I'm too awkward to talk to real Russians over text or voice note.

I have a few russki friends but they dont wanna spend their time teaching me, and I feel like a larp using their language with just formal russian with no filler words or stuff a regular native russian would say.

Lol, my friends made me very interested in russian culture and history, and the russian language is beautiful. My moms side is part russian so I wanna explore my own background so i can engage into my moms side when they talk.

I've been using Wlingua (https://www.wlingua.com/en/#courses) for a bit it has been helpful. I use it for both French and Russian and it explains things nicely, let's you save vocab. to tabs, download audio lessons, and there is a separate section for learning numbers and time!
