Duolingo is good if you're a total beginner, but I don't think you are so it might not be that useful. Of course, it's still quite bug-afflicted as well because the Irish lessons are new.

There unfortunately aren't any others that I know of. You know what I do? I carry around a pocket dictionary and if I see something I can't immediately think of the Irish for, I look it up on the spot. That's only possible if, like me, you have no shame.

Probably tongue in cheek but why would you need to feel shame about that? Unless you are an insecure 15 or 16 year old and on the school bus or something?

Tá OIDE go maith freisin. Bhfuil aon chinn eile ar eolas ag éinne a bheadh oiriúnach do dhaoine óga nó foghlaimeoirí ?

Presumably by pocket dictionary you mean a digital one! :-) Download the superb diodict3 Gaeilge-Béarla dictionary by An Gúm if you've a Samsung. I find it super useful. The 3rd link on the excellent Scríobh website: http://www.scriobh.ie/page.aspx?id=46&l=1

No, I genuinely carry around the pocket dictionary I've had since school.

It's missing many, many pages.

I'd cary De Bháldraithe and Ó Dónaill everywhere if I could find trousers big enough for them. :pac:

While a 1++ on duolingo, it still is buggy: eg sentences / vocalisations that do not match in some areas.

I have "Céad Briathar" ....gives all the tenses of 100 most common verbs. I also have "Collins irish Dictionary". Both these apps very handy and you can get trial versions at first. For reading material try Tuairisc.ie. It's an online irish paper.
