Well-known apps like Rosetta Stone, Duolingo or Babbel offer no Moroccan courses, but there are other apps for learning Moroccan that are just as good or even better.
Overview of Moroccan Arabic:
The Moroccan Arabic dialect has over 30 million speakers and is referred to as "Darija" or "Derisha" in Arabic.
Moroccan Arabic is part of the Maghreb Arabic dialect, which also includes Tunisian, Algerian, Libyan, and Mauritanian.
The dialects of Maghreb Arabic are very similar, but they differ significantly from other dialects of the Arabic language.
Maltese is also originally based on a Maghreb Arabic dialect.

Moroccan for Advanced Learners
Systems: iPhone App, Online Version
Suitable for: Intermediate and advanced learners
Content: Moroccan advanced exercises
Prices: USD 17 (1 month and 1 language), USD 31 (1 month and all 64 languages)
Overall Value: 
The Glossika app is for people who already have some basic proficiency in Moroccan Arabic or already know a similar language or dialect.
The app has an entry test to determine your Moroccan Arabic proficiency level. You can start from A1 to B2 (beginners and intermediate).
Glossika works with whole sentences instead of single Moroccan words. You can choose which topics you want to learn.
This app has intentionally no "gamification". The only exercises are reading, listening, typing the sentences and speaking into the microphone.
There are also no grammar explanations. You are supposed to understand Moroccan grammar from the context, like in Rosetta Stone.
You can try the complete app with all 64 languages for 7 days for free (without providing payment information).
Summary: Effective exercises for advanced learners, but somewhat higher price and not much variety.

Bluebird Moroccan App
Moroccan Lessons and Exercises
Systems: Android and iPhone apps, online version (PC and Mac)
Content: Moroccan exercises with native speaker audio and speech recognition
Prices: USD 9.99 (1 month), USD 100 (12 months), USD 200 (unlimited), USD 400 (163 languages)
Overall Value:

Daily video lessons in three difficulty levels

Basic Moroccan vocabulary on several dozen topics
-
Common Moroccan verbs with conjugations
-
Analysis of your own pronunciation (with speech recognition)
-
Tests: listening comprehension, filling in word gaps, vocabulary quizzes
There are about 500 video lessons for learning Moroccan, each 5 to 60 minutes long. For languages with other scripts, the words can also be displayed transliterated in the Latin script.
The Bluebird app has no grammar lessons. Instead, you are supposed to understand the grammar "implicitly" from the examples, like in Rosetta Stone.
Summary: The video lessons and the interface take some getting used to, but the exercises are quite varied. Especially for smaller languages, this app is a viable alternative.
Memrise Moroccan App
App with User-Generated Lessons
Systems: Android App, iPhone App, Online-Version (PC and Mac)
Content: Moroccan lessons and vocabulary trainer with native speaker audio, grammar
Prices: USD 8,99 (1 month), USD 60 (12 months), USD 110 (unlimited)
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.
