No, but your knob will be shiny though.
I am not a polyglot (yet), just a wannabe, but I would highly suggest using Mihalis Eleftheriou's Language Transfer, the "thinking method" as one such resource if he's covered the language. It's a different approach that makes early lessons valuable even to people who aren't total beginners. Gabriel Wyner's Fluent Forever method also resonates with me, though I've been too lazy to put in the manual work (I read the book), and I'm too cheap to pay for the app version. Language Transfer would pair really well with it, as it creates additional, interesting connections/associations or whatever Wyner calls them.
Of course there are rote memorization apps like Duolingo or Memrise or other language-specific ones as well, though the quality of the courses for different languages on different apps varies (e.g. Duolingo's Esperanto course is great, Spanish and Mandarin Chinese...not so much). This is not to mention that such tools aren't a terribly efficient way to learn. They can be useful to build vocabulary, but I'd not recommend using them in isolation.
