How good is Apple's Measure app at actually measuring things?

Of all the new stuff in the iOS 12 beta (https://mashable.com/2018/06/25/ios-12-public-beta-preview-hands-on/), the one that probably best demonstrates Apple's big push into augmented reality is the Measure (https://mashable.com/2018/06/04/arkit-wwdc-2018-ios/) app.
Announced at WWDC 2018 (https://mashable.com/category/wwdc-2018/), Measure is a default Apple app (like Voice Memos and Map) that will come to all iPhones in the fall. It makes use of ARKit (https://mashable.com/category/arkit/), Apple toolkit for developing AR-driven apps, and uses the iPhone's camera to compute the dimensions of objects seen on the screen. Simply hold up your iPhone to an object, tap the endpoints of the thing you want to measure, and the app will figure out the measurements.
