Leave a Review RoomScan Pro LiDAR floor plans
Doesn’t recognize stained glass windows.
Just trying out the app to see if I want to purchase. I have two Stained-glass Windows in my front room and for both of them the app couldn’t figure out if it was a window or not. It tried to overcompensate on one side to make the window next to it larger and then eliminated the other one and made it more wall space. which completely threw off square footage of the wall I was trying to estimate . Useful but not 100% accurate. I have a rather unusual house so probably more accurate in a normal house. I just thought you might wanna know it does not recognize stained glass windows.Show lessspiralmia

You can add stained glass windows by selecting “window” at the bottom rather than “auto” (in Brick Mode). Please do contact us when you have questions.Great for insurance adjusters
This app fills a hole for Symbility users. This has worked for me nearly 100% of the time. With a little practice, you can determine which method works best for you. Using the brick mode is very similar to using the exact mate AR mode. The measurements are accurate and import directly into Symbility and Xactimate. The developers are amazing and responsive. They have added features as requested, like being able to take photos with a room that are exportable in a zip file. The photos are labeled by the room name so you don’t lose track of them. It even has an exterior mode, so you can do a footprint of the house and use that to accurately draw the roof. The only issue seems to be that when imported into Symbility the window heights are not accurate, but the developers are working on that right now. I highly recommend this for anyone who needs to scan a room for accurate measurements and wants to use their mobile device. You can leave the clipboard at home.Show lessjcmkhh
No good for Xactimate
I subscribed to this exclusivily for xactimate use as it exports in ESX.
Wall thinkness seems to default to 1/4" and cannot be changed that I can find. As a result wall thinkness in X8 is 1/4" and if you try and change that X8 prevents it due to overlap of area or block requiring a resize or move.
The next problem is the corners. They will be out by 1 or 2 degrees and the corner cannot be changed in X8.
If it's a simple square room both the wall corner and thickness can be changed/corrected, but who needs a simple sq room? It seems once the room deviates from a sq you lose the abilty to correct it.
It scans great, it's just the result for X8 is near worthless.Show lessStve PA
Streamlined my work flow
Love this app! Especially it’s ability to export ESX files for Xactimate! It’s quicker than Xactimate Mobile and is usually pretty spot on within less than a 1/4”. Sometimes a little tweaking is needed but that’s understandable. Regardless of what app you’re using, ALWAYS take some realtime measurements to compare. This app has been a huge time saver!Show lessAmateis

If you want to scan one square room and get the dimensions, this app will do great. Use the Apple RoomPlan scanning (kudos to the dev for leveraging it so quickly) and away you go! If you have more than one room, budget some time and get ready for a frustrating experience. The app would identify and show scanned nooks, outdents, doors, openings, etc while scanning but the finished scan would loose much of this. I played the lottery by scanning rooms several times to try to land on a version that got most items. You can add doors afterwards, but then you’re back to measuring with tape…what’s the point of the app then? If the room is has too many transitions, surprise!! —the app crashes (iPad Pro 2021). The other big weakness was joining rooms. It would routinely join rooms in distorted locations, and once it’s joined it’s not possible (or at a minimum highly unintuitive to move them). I cancelled my trial and deleted the app. Hopefully something more stable and intuitive is on the market soon.Show lessZaphodBoy

Hi there, for anything beyond a basic room shape and for reliability when scanning lots of rooms, please select “RoomScan LiDAR” mode and not “Apple RoomPlan” mode on the menu that appears every time you start a new room. Thousands of professionals use RoomScan for multi-room floor plans, using RoomScan LiDAR mode for most rooms (80%) with the benefit of being able to cherry-pick RoomPlan and manual drawing where appropriate.Decent App
This app has decent functionality. However, I do run into some bugs that tend to be rather frustrating while using Apple products (iPhone, iPad). One is when I go to Start Scan, and it doesn’t give me a chance to scan the room. Instead it tells me it did not find a complete ring of walls.
The 2nd is when I tap “Draw Room Manually” and it still starts the scan anyway.
The 3rd is when I am currently editing a room, I hit “Done”, tap on a different room (where I can move it around), tap “Edit [room name]”, and then it returns me to the main overview of that property. I can do it a 2nd time with success, but it is rather annoying.Show lessRidgeCon

That “ring of walls” bug is so annoying, we agree! If you reboot your device it will go away, and perhaps it will be fixed in iOS 17. Please could you contact us from within the app about the other two problems and we’ll get them sorted.WORTH IT
I typically don’t leave reviews because I don’t really care enough to leave a review, but this, this is awesome and very very helpful if you’re and adjuster/inspector for the insurance. It will give you a very detailed diagram of the light fixtures, sofas, cabinets, doors, and etc. highly recommend!!Show lessknighz

Thank you!Problems with Free Trial
Started 7 day free trial after scanning three rooms with intention of subscribing, but got an error when trying to create a new room. I get a dialog stating “Problem with App Store” when I tap Start Scan.cschemahorn
My Goto Tool (but it's not perfect)
This is one of three similar tools I use to build floor plans on the fly with the camera and LIDAR features on my iPhone. The other two are MagicPlan and Canvas. MagicPlan is better at editing drawings after a scan is done. Canvas allows you to upload a scan of one or more rooms and have a human assist with very high quality PDF, 2D drawing, 3D drawings and BIM (REVIT) files. The quality of the results with RoomScan LIDAR is lower BUT I use it the most. And that is because on some sites, like I am on this week, there are lots of construction materials, boxed appliances and other things that make it impossible to see the floor/wall connection. RoomScan still works fine, as long as you can see any part of a wall ... the other two, not so good. Also RoomScan makes it possible to make a 'good enough' floor plan with doors, windows and some auto symbol recognition very quickly. I was able to complete and forward a drawing set for two floors with wall and area measurements in PDF and Autocad to an HVAC engineer in about 20 minutes.Show lesswjones

Thanks for this great review back in November, we just received it today. Fast floor plans in any room is what RoomScan is all about. If you have time to jot down a few wishlist items for improving the quality, please do email us at service@locometric.com and we'll get them addressed.
