If creating an eerily lifelike and accurate version of yourself and having it sing "Let It Go" sounds like fun, we've found the app for you.

Created by Huanshi Ltd., MyIdol allows users to take a selfie or upload a pre-existing photo to create a 3D, interactive avatar. Then, that avatar does weird stuff.

The app is free to download on the App Store, though it'll be pretty difficult to navigate for anyone who doesn't read Chinese.

Nonetheless, plenty of English-speaking people have discovered the app -- it's currently trending on the App Store -- and are posting their beautifully weird creations online.

The app's creators say they'll be releasing an English version soon. They also promised to post a guide for people who don't speak Chinese.
