Impossible to use

Macbook pro m1 Pro, the app just tell me to update at the latest version but actually I am on the latest versione. Won’t work, impossible to use

Best

I worked with many software for photogrammetry: this one ist the best! By far!!

Works perfectly on Mac mini M4

I can’t believe this is a free app to be honest. I only used around 80 photos, which is a small sample for photogrammetry. The resulting model was impressively accurate, with small defects in areas that I didn’t photograph well. My model was automatically cut out from the background and I was able to manipulate it in the app without even opening Blender, all within 10 minutes. Perfect 5/5 experience for me, excited to see what it can do with a bigger set of photos!

Great!

Super simple but enough options, works smooth and reliable!

and its free. THANK YOU!!

i love it!!

(unfortunately i cant find the in app purchases. i`d love to support this!)

______
Although there are 2 annoying problems i found:

1. the more you use the app, the more storage it takes up. it recently hit 200gb at my computer. unfortunenately theres no option to empty the cache (or whatever). So i had to uninstall it and manually delete the app cointainer in the finder.

2. the "export original file" option often doesnt work when exporting an obj. it creates the folder, but its empty.

Decent but a subscription

Really quite a good piece of software when you get used to how to control it, as well as take decent pictures to model. But, please come up with a perpetual licence option. I may model 1 or 2 objects a year and I don’t want to either pay a subscription for something I’ll rarely use, or worse, constantly start a subscription then cancel it just to use additional features.
