Well-known apps like Rosetta Stone, Duolingo or Babbel offer no Tunisian courses, but there are other apps for learning Tunisian that are just as good.
Overview of Tunisian Arabic:
The Tunisian Arabic dialect has about 12 million native speakers and is referred to in Arabic as "Tunsi" or "Derscha".
Moroccan Arabic is part of the Maghreb Arabic dialect, which also includes Moroccan, Algerian, Lybian, and Mauritanian.
The dialects of Maghreb Arabic are very similar, but differ significantly from other dialects of Arabic.
Maltese is also originally based on Tunisian Arabic.
Tunisian learning apps range from professional software learning programs for computers to inexpensive apps for smartphones.
A compact overview of all the Tunisian learning apps can be found below.

Bluebird Tunisian App
Tunisian Lessons and Exercises
Systems: Android and iPhone apps, online version (PC and Mac)
Content: Tunisian 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: 
The Bluebird App offers 146 source languages and 163 target languages and dialects, including Tunisian Arabic.
The Tunisian language course in this app includes the following:
-
Daily video lessons in three difficulty levels
-
Basic Tunisian vocabulary on several dozen topics
-
Common Tunisian 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 Tunisian, 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 Tunisian App
App with User-Generated Lessons
Systems: Android App, iPhone App, Online-Version (PC and Mac)
Content: Tunisian 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.
Additional Ways To Learn Tunisian Online:
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 Tunisian 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.
