The app is an extension of the Vernier lab probe software. Its all about collecting a volume of data to interpret later.

If we get around to it today I'll post a link to the results.
I have some experience as a physics teacher. The video analysis CAN work well. I don't know what level of precision you are looking for, but I would say if my team was looking to make a long range shooter I would use this tool. Use the best camera you can borrow and use good lighting. The more time you take in setting up your hardware, the better results you will get. Do an analysis of acceleration due to gravity to check how well your setup is.
