An easy to use and rewarding app that uses step repetitions to help memorise french vocabulary. Most of the most useful stuff is free and is low effort to learn a bit of vocab every day
Duolingo
The most famous of learning apps is useful for beginners but gets a bit wearing as you build up your experience

Flashcard style app which is useful if you need to help memorise a certain group of words or grammar

Paul Noble on audible
You can get one month/one book free on audible. Paul noble audiobook is the best resource for beginner's. It uses repetition and doesn't need a book so can use whilst walking.
The Best Online Resources
Rosetta stone
Attempts to be immersive by using images and words. It is good for beginners/lower intermediate (although a little expensive; only 3 day free trial) although gets a little repetitive at times.
Fluentu
Learn via online videos with handy highlighted words as you go along. I found the 14 day free trial enough but might work for some
Reverso conjugation
Easy to use resource to conjugate words in any language
Coursea intermediate french
Amazingly detailed and professional university style 6 weeks course aimed at students who might attend a educational course in France. 100 percent free but of a more upper intermediate level.
Rfi News in easy french
Daily news in slow french with transcript. Also host of other resources with transcripts which you can filter by you language level.
Le point
Collection of grammar exercise which you can filter by level. Easy to use answers as well.
Verbal Planet
Allows you to find online tutors which is obviously more expensive than online resources but a lot cheaper and more flexible than real life tutors. Can often get first lesson free.
Lingoda
Online group courses that offer one week free trial. I found the classes a bit awkward but some mind find it is a middle ground being tutors and the online software.
Lawless french
One of a few online free to access guides but I find it's explanation of grammar very easy to read and understand.
Helpful podcasts
Some of the more useful french podcasts to try
