User reviews

Phenomenal app! Time saving! money saving! totally helpful

I use this app as an interior designer with homeowners who need to send me measurements of their space before I design them. I get wonderful support from the staff at campus. They always answer my emails personally, and fairly quickly. The only reason there are negative reviews is probably because the user didn’t know how to scan properly or use the app. Don’t let those reviews discourage you. I’ve used it over and over and it’s crazy good! I take these three dimensional drawings and import them into SketchUp and do 3-D renderings of their spaces. The saves me a ton of time and practically like I have another employee.

Response from developer

Thanks for your review! We're glad Canvas is part of your interior design workflow!

Its not good quality

Its curvey and unacceptable

Absolutely worthless on iPhone 12 Pro Max

Never could get the app to scan. First, at least in this model iPhone, it forces you into rotating your phone into landscape orientation when you try to do a scan which greatly reduces its angle of view (the tutorial and media all show holding the phone in portrait, i.e normal, orientation). Second, I tried large/med/small rooms with excellent lighting. Both empty and full of furniture. At no point did the app get past the spinning dots around the “hold still” initialization portion of the 360 scan module. For S&Gs, I even mounted my phone to a tripod..can’t get more still than that! No dice. I find it asinine that they didn’t properly QC this app for one of the most popular (read: prolific) iPhone models out there.

Response from developer

We'd love to troubleshoot your issues, as there are several things that we haven't heard before - such as forcing you to scan in landscape orientation or the app crashing during the 360 scan initialization phase. Please reach out to us at support@canvas.io and reference this review, along with the iOS version you're on, so that we can troubleshoot this for you. We certainly want to address this and understand what's happening. Additionally, since you're on a LiDAR-enabled iPhone, we encourage you to download the version of our app which is designed for home improvement professionals: Canvas: LiDAR 3D Measurements.

Great resource

As a design professional, it helps to have a process that enables us to capture a space quickly to study design solutions. The turnaround time is fantastic.

Where was this app before??

This app is a game changer. I’m in the middle of a garage remodel and it’s been a huge pain trying to get everything just right. I’m trying to show my contractor what I have in mind, and this app made it super simple to do that. Definitely using this when it’s time to remodel other parts of the house!
