Leave a Review Scaniverse
Blown away. Better than the paid apps.
First off I’ve tried a lot of photogrammetry and Gaussian splatter apps. Most of them are limited in functionality are require subscriptions. Also results are mixed. When I saw this app was free I didn’t not expect this level of quality and options. Truely blown away.
No taking hundreds of photos, with this you just scan/move in real time (even without a lidar). The feedback you get while scanning is so helpful for seeing where more detail is needed. Multiple processing options for photogrammetry and additional training enhancement time for splats make this the most user friendly and high quality app I’ve found so far. I don’t understand why other apps are so unintuitive, clunky and limited.
Add to that it does all of its training/processing locally on your own device so internet connection is not needed. 👏 finally someone made a truely great scanning app for enthusiasts instead of just trying to milk the AppStore for microtransactions. 10/10Show lessPangoat
Wonderful!
This app is very fun and useful, I first heard of it during a conference. It was being used to make interactive databases for museum artifacts so people could move the artifacts around and look at them without risking too much exposure. It takes a bit to make a super great model but it is worth the time. The splat AI mode yields great results. It is a wonderful use of the lidar on phones that I didn’t even know I had.Show lessSstokedd
Superb
I looked at a few different software apps that do the same thing and they wanted a lot of money and they wanted you to pay right away without even being able to try it first this app is free and it doesn’t incredible job. The first couple scans I did came out kind of rough but after playing around with the software, I’m getting some really exceptional 3-D scans. I even made an avatar out of my wife who is very patient with me. I never expected the software works so good for something that’s free. Excellent product.Show lesstaiji man
The Future
A Phenomenal company giving powerful tools to the people for free. This company puts human exploration and advancement above market profits, caring more about giving tools to future generations. Bravo !!
Update: Still phenomenal, splats are so so so crazy good! I can’t wait until you can rotate, AR view, and export a splat scan just like a mesh scan; keep up the important work!Show lessElectricMango
So far impressed, use case for floor plans
Im a real estate photographer and im getting tired of fixing floors plans like from cubicasa. To the point ill just draw my own. I need a simple app to capture the site to draw the plan from. After a quick test this app might do the trick! It allows me to process and export directly to the cloud drive, without paying for a darn subscription! (I have had enough of those). Honestly id happily pay ONCE for an app like this to help continue development.Show lessPerceivedshift
Great for scanning, poor for viewing
For scanning - Exactly the app I wanted - fast interactive scanning with results processed on-device. No network connection required. A must-have app! I’d pay for this
For viewing and sharing - not being able to set where the initial view, the orbit origin, the rotation limits, etc. is frustrating. I have 360 scans where the app limits my view angle. I have large scene scans where the initial view is dozens of meters from something reasonable. If I could set the view start position, orbit point, and rotation limits manually, this would be an easy 5 stars.
Also, processing UX. Why can’t I refine scans further after saving it if I save scan data? Why can’t it also save depth, camera poses, etc. so I can continue training later?Show lessEmployeNumberTwoFourSeven
Incredible
It blows my mind that a free app running on a iPhone can create scans like this. In the photogrammetry world of take pictures l, upload them to your powerful desktop, and process them, can take hours. Scaniverse takes minutes for a comparable scan. And now Gaussian splatting. Unbelievable this runs a phone. iPhone 15 pro max.Show lessibuildrobots
Solid App, Confusing Privacy Policy
While the app does some pretty nice scans, their confusing privacy policy has me wondering. Their blog, specifically about Gaussian Splat, notes that everything stays on device. While their privacy policy on the App Store notes that data linked to you is “use content, location” among a host of others. Also, developer is Toolbox AI, but the privacy policy leads to Niantic, so that creates further confusion. It would be nice if the developer more clearly stated how how and when user content stays or leaves the device.Show lessJosey444
Developer Response
Hi! Thanks for sharing your concern - perhaps I can help clear up some of the confusion. All capture and processing is done locally, not in the cloud. And all scan data stays locally on your device unless you choose to share it. In addition to scanning, we also offer the ability to share your scans via our web service. In order to do so, you need to set up an account and upload the content that you want to share. This is an optional feature, and you're not required to use it. The App Store privacy label applies to the app as a whole, so we include everything that a user could do with the app, even if not everyone will use it. Hope that helps!Very good app - export files have less detail.
I love the app and even upgraded a phone just to get better results. Unfortunately now I am trying to export the models and they don’t look as good as they do in the app. I want the same quality I see in the phone but on my own system. Maybe I am not choosing the right export but it losses a bunch of detail.Show lessriowarrior
The best free 3D scanner with no strings attached
I have downloaded countless “free” scanner apps, all of which yield suboptimal quality, and nearly all of them require an unreasonable price to even export your scans. This app surpassed my expectations in every way. It’s completely free, and the scan quality is really good. It’s perfect for 3D printing! Thank you so much for developing this app.Show lessSkidFace
