### 2/5 — Used to be free

*2026-08-15, version 2.5*

Perfect but was free before so no.

### 3/5 — Seems to work well

*2026-08-14, version 2.5*

USDZ files are not compatible with AVP. Nothing loads

### 4/5 — Only a couple scans

*2026-08-08, version 2.5*

I have only completed a couple quick scans. Looks good. Measure tool a little hard to use though

### 1/5 — Has a nag screen for its subscription

*2026-08-02, version 2.5*

Which is, you know, one-star kind of behavior.

### 1/5 — I can’t even sign up.

*2026-08-01, version 1.2*

I’ve tried to sign up to this, but it keeps saying my email address is in use. I then go on and say I’ve lost my password and there’s no response. I clicked on the support link and that’s non existent.

### 1/5 — Deceptive Advertising

*2026-08-01, version 2.5*

Markets itself as an a- with app purchases. But requires a monthly subscription service to sign in for a free trial. Never even got to see the interface. Deleted immediately.

### 1/5 — Added subscriptions in an update

*2026-07-30, version 2.5*

Great app! Unfortunately I'm not interested in apps that move existing functionality behind a subscription.

### 1/5 — Dog pooo

*2026-07-30, version 2.5*

Bad app

### 1/5 — Sudden cash grab

*2026-07-30, version 1.2*

Really frustrating to load up this occasional use app and find a subscription model waiting there, stopping me from being able to use app as before.  I previously recommended this to literally hundreds of people.  I am so disappointed.  Terrible decision.

### 1/5 — Was free now asking for money

*2026-07-30, version 2.5*

Do not download rugpull of the highest order.

### 1/5 — How the mighty have fallen

*2026-07-28, version 2.5*

This used to be the best app on the market due to features and design, however everything is now locked behind a paywall, making the app mostly useless now.

### 2/5 — Used to be the best

*2026-07-27, version 2.5*

This used to be the BEST scanner app but not everything is behind a paywall. Such a shame as no new features have been added, just a cash grab.

### 1/5 — Tries to get signup immediately

*2026-07-26, version 2.5*

Didn’t even try it as I dont want to commit to subscription before even trying the app. It uses the classic “free trial” that requires a subscription commitment beforehand. 

Basically hoping you forget to cancel the subscription after the trial runs out.

### 1/5 — Subscription addition

*2026-07-26, version 2.5*

Entire app and features used to be free. Now asking subscription for loyal users. No major features added, just bug fixes.

### 1/5 — Now Paywalled

*2026-07-26, version 2.5*

Absolutely despicable business practices. Was free for years, and suddenly changed to a STEEPLY priced subscription model. Watch the developers reply to my review with the same cookie cutter template message about reaching out over email. Guaranteed it won’t pertain to my review whatsoever.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Lost all scans

*2026-08-15, version 2.5*

I was an early adopter to this app and absolutely loved it. I recommended it to many of my friends, but now I am extremely disappointed after losing all of my files including scans of my kids as infants. Functionality that used to be free is now behind a paywall. I’ve switched phones multiple times and all the files transferred so I didn’t check to make sure before wiping my phone, but of course this time everything was not transferred and lost.

### 1/5 — Stopped being free

*2026-08-15, version 1.2*

It’s always great when they take something that used to be free and make it a subscription.
Especially when they kidnap your data in the process,

### 1/5 — More like “Scammer App”

*2026-08-12, version 2.5*

Automatically charges $4.99 a WEEK.  No, your app is not worth $260/year.

### 1/5 — This sucks

*2026-08-12, version 2.5*

The testimonials are fake, this is hot garbage

### 1/5 — Was free.  Now it’s not

*2026-08-12, version 2.5*

I used it so rarely which was why I downloaded it in the first place because it was free.   Now they want money every month … nope.  Doesn’t work that well to pay monthly Uninstalled it

### 1/5 — £260 a year?

*2026-08-10, version 2.5*

This is an excellent tool. But I only use it occasionally. Happy to pay less, or £5 for a week at a time. But I don’t use it enough to justify 14 weeks’ purchase at £70, let alone giving you £5 a week forever.

### 1/5 — Every good feature locked

*2026-08-08, version 2.5*

Used to be free now nearly every feature is locked behind a paywall

### 1/5 — Bait and Switch - Avoid!

*2026-08-08, version 2.5*

This app used to be free and it worked very well. Now it nags for a very overpriced subscription for the same features in a very disrespectful way. Probably sells your data too. Uninstall / avoid!

### 1/5 — Used to be free 😒

*2026-08-08, version 2.5*

Now you have to pay for a subscription… even for on-device processing 👎

### 1/5 — Bad app

*2026-08-02, version 2.5*

right when I was about to scan I approved the Camera then the camera wouldn’t work

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — W

*2026-08-19, version 2.5*

W

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2026-08-17, version 2.5*

A great little app, very useful indeed for producing the models I create which are generally custom made copies of industrial items slightly modified for odd circumstances.

### 5/5 — The Best Professional 3D Scanning App for iPhone.

*2026-08-06, version 2.5*

I’ve tested just about every iPhone scanning app available, and 3D Scanner App has become my primary tool for clinical prosthetic scanning.

The Photo Mode reconstruction is outstanding. With a good capture workflow, I’m consistently able to generate high-quality meshes suitable for prosthetic design. I’ve successfully scanned hands, feet, faces, and other complex anatomy with results that would have been difficult to achieve on a mobile device just a few years ago.

What really sets this app apart is the desktop application. Being able to process scans on a Mac dramatically improves quality while keeping the capture process simple on the phone. For professional users, this workflow is a major advantage.

The developers also deserve credit for continually improving the software. New features have been added over time, and it’s clear the app is actively developed rather than abandoned.

There are still areas I’d love to see improved:

* Better support for multi-device workflows and screen mirroring during capture.
* More control over camera settings such as exposure and focus locking.
* Additional professional calibration and scaling tools.
* Expanded tools for clinical and photogrammetry workflows.

Despite those requests, this is easily one of the best mobile photogrammetry applications available today. It has become an essential part of my prosthetic workflow, and I recommend it to anyone looking for serious 3D scanning on an iPhone.

### 5/5 — ✨

*2026-08-02, version 2.5*

This app it has made my life easier for real, Now I used in every important project I do

### 5/5 — Bad boys

*2026-07-13, version 2.5*

Thanks for being so greedy and making the features paid. It was a great app. Now it’s just a show piece.

### 5/5 — Surprisingly versatile and useable.

*2026-06-20, version 2.5*

Does everything I need and more for residential projects. I would definitely recommend trying this before investing in the big money cameras and systems.

### 5/5 — Очень выручает!

*2026-06-09*

Приложение, которое облегчило жизнь!

### 5/5 — What I think of 3d scanner app
