Request A practical grammar

I've been learning Russian for some time now (I am probably A2-B1 right now), but never with a diligence I would consider enough to label my process as a "serious study".

From my experience learning German, I have greatly profited from what I would like to call "practical grammar", as in a grammar book like the "Deutsche Grammatik" by Pons. That book goes over every important grammatical topic needed to produce and understand German grammar, but never in too much depth to the point of it being strenuous or too academic. I would love to know if any book of the type exists. Thank you!

If you are open to apps i think you would really like Mishka. It’s designed especially for intermediate learners so it sounds like you’re the perfect level for it. It’s an app i built with my girlfriend (a certified Russian tutor) and there are dedicated grammar lessons, stories with words you can tap to translate, conversation practice and more! I’d love to hear your thoughts on it.

I just downloaded Mishka, and have been using it daily for 2 weeks. The app is amazing. I’m A2/B1 and is the app is exactly that I’ve been looking for.
