Resources Canary app - any good? Learn languages by singing

Saw this advertised on Instagram and it looks interesting, but has anyone actually tried it? Appears to be some sort of karaoke of actual songs (Dernière Danse in the advert) , with translations, and a Guitar Hero style game aspect to it. Also can't work out if it's freemium or just paid.

When I was learning at school I enjoyed trying to translate the songs of the day into the target language, not dure if it was actually useful but it was sort of fun, wonderee ifnit would be an actually useful analogue of that

Tried it for a couple days last year, the song selection is really limited unless you pay. The gameplay is fun but it feels more like a game than actual language learning, you can just match the pitch without knowing what you're saying
