Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina
The Bosnian language has about three million native speakers. It is a dialect of the Serbo-Croatian language, so that Serbian, Croatian, Bosnian, and Montenegrin are mutually understandable.
The differences between Bosnian, Croatian, and Serbian are minimal, despite a number of Arabic, Turkish, and Persian loanwords in Bosnian.
The Bosnian language uses both a Latin and a Cyrillic alphabet, with the Latin alphabet being commonly used in everyday life.

The interface of the app is well made and is similar to other apps like Babbel, Duolingo or Mondly.

The Ling language learning app offers lessons for 60 languages and is quite similar to Duolingo or Babbel, which do not offer Bosnian courses.
Ling uses "gamified learning", which means learning the Bosnian language in a playful way. There are mini-games, levels, experience points, as well as tests and exercises at the end of each lesson.
The vocabulary covers about 1000 Bosnian words and phrases, all with native speaker audio and pictures. Grammar is not included.
This app offers a test to determine your proficiency level in Bosnian.
Summary: Good ideas that make learning Bosnian more fun.

Cudoo is a kind of online university that offers courses with certificates on different topics.
This includes language courses for 160 languages. These are all beginner courses (CEFR level A1 and A2).
For each language there are 1-10 courses and each course has 20-40 lessons.
The lessons each include a short video with new vocabulary and there are short quiz questions below the video.
Summary: The videos are well made, so especially for smaller languages these courses are a good start.

Overall Value:
With the Memrise App you can learn over 90 languages.
This includes even very small languages - however, in such cases the language courses are often limited to just a few lessons.
One special feature of the Memrise learning app is the large number of lessons created by users (native speakers).
The quality of these lessons varies greatly though. For example, only the basic forms of verbs are usually taught, without the conjugations. Some languages also do not have an audio recording of the words at all.
Another good idea of the Memrise app are the user-generated tips and mnemonics for each word to help you memorize them.
Summary: User-generated lessons are a good idea. In practice, the quality of the lessons leaves a lot be desired.
Content: Bosnian lessons and exercises with voice output and speech recognition
Prices: $9.99 (1 month), $100 (12 months), $200 (unlimited), $400 (163 languages)
Overall Value:
The Bluebird App offers 146 source languages and 163 target languages and dialects, including Bosnian.
The Bosnian language course in this app includes the following:
The Bluebird App does not have grammar lessons. Instead, you are supposed to understand the grammar "implicitly" from the examples, same as in Rosetta Stone.
Summary: The video lessons and the interface require some getting used to, but the exercises are quite varied. Especially for smaller languages, this app is an acceptable alternative.
Content: Bosnian lessons and exercises with native speaker audio
Prices: $13 (1 month), $72 (12 months), $164 (unlimited)
Overall Value: 
The Language Drops App is most notable for having 47 target languages and 40 source languages, similar to Mondly.
You can learn about 3000 Bosnian words and phrases with this app. However, there are hardly any exercises, except for introducing a new word and matching the word to a picture.
You can choose from which topics you want to learn new words and at what skill level you want to learn (whether you know the language somewhat).
If you want to try the app for free for two weeks you have to provide your payment information and then cancel it.
The "deal" you get when you sign up for the free trial is more than 3 times as expensive as when you click "Get Premium" on the website ($38 per month instead of $13 per month).
Summary: No variety, no grammar and only 3000 words. Does not justify the higher price, even though you get access to all languages.
Content: Bosnian lessons and exercises
Prices: $19.99 (1 month), $40 (3 months), $60 (6 months)
Overall Value:
The Lingo Play App offers language courses for 70 languages. It offers "gamified learning", which means learning vocabulary in a playful way.
Each Bosnian lesson offers the following exercises:
There is also a multiplayer mode and competitions where you can test your Bosnian skills against other people.
Summary: Overpriced Bosnian course that does offer some good exercises, but is not better than other similar apps.
Colanguage: Find Skype teachers
Overall Value:
At Colanguage you can arrange face-to-face language lessons online via Skype with language teachers around the world (from $5-10 per hour).
In addition to using apps, it is definitely a good idea to also practice with native speakers in order to learn Bosnian properly.
Tandem: Find a language exchange partner
Overall Value:
Instead of hiring teachers, you can also find people who are interested in a free language exchange online via Skype.
It is completely free of charge, but you have to act as a language teacher for the other person half of the time.
