I lived in Beijing, China for about 18 years of my life but was in a bubble of foreign culture so my Chinese isn't that great. What app can I use to get better?

I've done some research but most are either garbage (according to reviews and reddit) or for beginners.

I can understand pretty well (at least the general meaning, but I can't promise direct word to word translation).

I can speak the basic necessities (small talk, travel, buying, etc).

My reading and writing? I know fuck all (barely any, like the equivalent of knowing how to spell: cat, dog, red for English)

I actually moved back to China recently and want to improve as it will be handy for my job (I'm a video editor in China for a company that offers services for filming and editing) and learning vocab in this field would be very useful.

I would love an application (I heard duolingo is kinda trash for Chinese) that can help me become fluent in Chinese speaking and understanding spoken words, and if there is a way to pick categories that would be a nice bonus but not needed as of now.

What would you all suggest? I'm on android.
