Distractions
Experience points, avatars, fanfares, rankings... all these gamification elements distract you from your task - mastering Italian.
False sense of achievement
Some high-tech apps keep record of how many words you've "learned" so far. This gives a false sense of achievement by counting as learned words that you've barely seen in passing.
Dictionaries
If you stop to look up each and every word you don't know, you lose the flow. To think in Italian, you should listen and read Italian. Only after you listen and read the Italian version, take a look at the English translation.
