outright worthless
The 1-star review previously submitted here is true. The app is trash.
I needed an app offering some "focus stacking/bracketing" functionality and struggled to find any but this one.
This app is endeed easy to use (just select three focus points, edit adjustments, and then render the final picture).
However, its "focusing" function is outright worthless. Everything is still blurry with artifitially sharpened edges (that's how the stacking, I beleive, is done by the app).

Blurry fraud app
Don’t waste your money. Incredibly blurry. It literally looks like they put each photo over each other. Stupid fraud app.
Miniature pics
I’m giving this a 5 star because it did what I wanted with almost no effort. I’m taking photos of Infinity (Corvus Belli) models in a 4” x 4” space, and was not able to get multiple rows in focus. This app invoices picking three points and click. Done. The built in lighting and other settings are harder to use, but after the photo is merged, just use any other app to crop and clean up color and it’s great.

Very easy to use app for capturing detail from images through a microscope.
At first, I wasn’t pleased with this app. I had purchased it to try to stack photos of images viewed at 1000x through a microscope. I am using these photos in scientific research and needed a fast/simple way to get more depth of field and an increased appreciation of the 3D structure of the objects I was viewing. The reason I wasn’t initially pleased is that I was trying to use the app to stack three separate images that I had taken while manually adjusting the focus on the microscope and holding the phone in my hand when I took each photo. The app is actually terrible at stacking those images (but so is much higher-end software used on desktop computers). However- once I bought a cheap adapter used to mount the phone to the eyepiece if the microscope, and once I started capturing images using the built-in “auto capture” feature where the software directs the camera to take three images at slightly different focal lengths- I started getting exactly what I needed from the app. I now use it for almost every image I take through the microscope, and I am able to get soooooo much more information from those images about the 3D structure of the organism I study in my research. I’ve found that the “fine detail”!setting doesn’t work at all (is haven given 4 1/2 stars because of that), but even with the more rough version of the stacked image, I’m getting so much more information than I was before I started stacking... that I’m not worried about the high-resolution processing not seeming to work for me. I’ve never tried using the app for anything other than microscopy work, so I can’t comment on its usefulness for other macro photography etc.... also, I’ve found it is really the most useful when I am looking at images at very high magnifications (400-1000x). The app is capable of processing the stacked image in just a few seconds... so it is much faster than a computer-based software program in which the photos must first be uploaded etc... Given the very limited options for iPhone-based stacking apps... this one has been a Godsend for my work and would be a huge help to anyone taking photographs through a microscope. (Just make sure the camera is mounted to the scope so there is zero change in position during capture of the three images).

meh
Unable to manually align photos and the auto align function does not work very well for the photos I work with. Definitely needs more configurability. Not even worth 3$ at this point
