Leave a Review LiDAR Scanner 3D
Disappointed with this
Maybe I didn’t read description properly, basically you end up with a pile of mush, that supposed to look like what you scanned. Even at $0.99 I don’t think this is worth it and now regret my purchase. Using Scaniverse with much better results and can see the actual objects in actual 3D.
How do I get a refund?Show lessrobbenoit

Hello, this app shows you what you will get before you purchase it. Everyone can decide if they want to proceed with payment or not. You can get a refund in the same way as with any other app bought on the App Store: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204084 If you would encounter any issues, please contact me at support@lidarscanner.app Best regards, MarekOh it’s free! Wait... no it isn’t.
In app purchases, great...4DBob

Hello 4DBob, you can send me an email at support@LidarScanner.app and I will give you the app for free :)! To my defense, I have never said the app is free — you can download and test it to see if it is good for you, but it is paid. I think you would agree with me that working completely for free is not sustainable in the long term — you have to pay your bills and for food, so I assume you are also not working without anything in return. Even slaves get food and shelter for their labour. If everyone in the world didn't want money for housing, food, clothing, etc., then I would happily work for free too! But sadly, nothing in this world is for free — when you download a "free" app, then think why you don't pay money for it. In most cases, such apps use advertisements and tracking and sell your data ("if you are not paying for the product, you are the product"). I personally hate tracking, which is why my apps do NOT contain any kind of tracking or ads. In return for this complete privacy, I ask for a one-time payment of 0.99 USD in this app. Do you think it is unfair? What would you do in my place? Thank you for letting me know; I will wait for your email :)! Best regards, MarekUseless App
I downloaded and try it for the first time it doesn’t save the scan unless you paid . And has not a great sensor . Very disappointedThe big minded
What is the point.
Doesn’t scan and give anything other than a big blob.Magpie10001

Hello Magpie, if you want more detail in your scan, you can use my other app — Heges (https://hege.sh) — which utilizes the selfie FaceID camera for scanning. The selfie camera has much higher resolution/accuracy than LiDAR (this is hardware limitation). Best regards, Marekretention of POV?
This is overall a good app; I’m using it for a ML research project right now. However, is it possible to retain the original camera perspective? It seems like the app just chooses a random point of view. So, when I export it into XCode, the world origin is just wrong, and the coordinates are off.emily440409

Will the pointcloud be exportable with the new iOS14?safgdrocas
Developer Response
Hello, yes, it is possible.Does nothing
Scans are soooooo bad......then it offers hi res from another app that is just as bad. Don’t waste your time. Apple is allowing spam now it seems.flashed
Developer Response
Hello, please do not lie that my app "does nothing". You can try it for free before deciding whether to purchase it (for 1 USD) or not — so you know exactly how do the scans look like and what you will be getting, I don't really know what more should I do to please you. Moreover — and this is important ❗️ — the scans are provided directly by Apple, not by 3rd party developers like me, therefore if you are not satisfied with the results (which you can see and inspect before purchasing), then I recommend that you contact Apple and tell them that their tech "does nothing" and that their scans are bad ;). Another blatant lie that you wrote it that the other app has the same resolution. This is not true and I don't understand why would you even think of writing something like that… The other app has incomparably BETTER resolution because it uses the more precise selfie TrueDepth camera (FaceID) instead of LiDAR. And you can see that for yourself from the publicly available sample models that you can inspect. I am really not sure if you just had a bad day or if you are a troll. If you would like to discuss this, feel free to contact me at support@LidarScanner.app Best regards, MarekNeeds textures and proper export
Aside from no texture mapping this is a really good app.
edit: thanks to the developer for responding to my original review and informing me that there is an export option! keep it up!ThunderRuler
Developer Response
Hello, you can actually export into OBJ, STL, and PLY (and of course to USDZ) — just slide your finger over a scan in Saved Scans, select Export and pick the format that you want. You can read the message on top of the Saved Scans popup, where this is written. I will see what I can do regarding textures. Let me know if you'd want any help — you can reach me at support@LidarScanner.app. Best regards, Marek Edit: Thank you for reacting to my response, I appreciate that :)! I hope the texturing feature will be added soon.Cool but doesn’t map textures
It needs to mesh based on distance when it within a very close range threshold from an object to get details in on the things you move close to.
Other than that unfortunately there is no texture mapping.
Cool so far though :)Shb10865
Interesting but useless
It's fun to see how the LiDAR camera works but the final quality is pretty rough. There isn't much you can do with the resulting image. I tried it, had a laugh, then deleted it.fbara
Developer Response
Thanks, fbara. We have to wait for Apple to give us better access to the LiDAR in iOS 14, because as of iOS 13, there is nothing to be done about mesh quality. Best regards, Marek
