It's a great start but needs work
The app seems to use the 77mm lens (as far as an iPhone 13 pro is concerned) and there does not seem to be any stabilization (optical, digital) is engaged.
As a result, many of the pictures are blurred unless you are particularly steady, which gets really tiresome in just a few photos.
This is either an oversight or just a limitation set by Apple.
Also, considering it’s a relatively narrow lens, you have to be quite far away from the target, which is another pitfall.
Then, when on the “sharing the pictures” process — where you run the app on the Mac — you are told that now you need to share the asset to your Mac, but the app does not seem to provide any interface for so doing.
So, in reality, you just need to (1) click the AirPlay button to then share the file (in a ZIP) to your Mac, then (2) locate this folder on your Mac (from within the app and only then click (3) continue.
It’s is sad as pictures taken with a superior, 26mm lens with a sensor-based stabilization, and with the depth date embedded would generate better quality pictures.
Alternatively, I wish you could take pictures from the Apple-provided native app which then can be selected directly on the Mac (after sync) inside the app.
The most important for me was the fact that all of my 3d models resulted in a considerably worse quality wen compared to other photogrammetry applications (on App Store and running Apple’s designed photogrammetry framework) that rely on the pictures only, that is, without any depth data embedded.
Hence, 2 stars only. The models generated from this app are rather unusable

It works well. just follow directions
It's a little awkward but if you just follow directions it works really well. Ive used this to make very accurate models and reproduce hard to find broken items.
