## Review summary

Overall, Macro Mode is praised for its simplicity and its macro feature set beyond the stock camera, with some reviewers calling it a must-have. However, a recurring issue is device compatibility, particularly non-functionality on iPhone Pro Max models. The experience appears mixed across devices, with some models performing well while others do not. A notable concern is a reported decline in image sharpness on some updates. Privacy prompts and export format limitations are mentioned less frequently.

- Overall positive reception with multiple users recommending it (some call it a must-have).

### Cons

- Device-dependent performance; some devices work well (e.g., iPhone 13 Pro) while others do not.
- Reported decline in image sharpness/quality on certain updates.
