### 3/5 — ?

*2025-12-19*

How do you view the file? I can only create, save, and export it, but I can't open it.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback, the latest update now lets you open and view point clouds directly in the app.

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2025-12-08*

Why are there no reviews, the most amazing app I’ve seen in a long long time!

### 4/5 — Perfect

*2025-09-28*

IT IS AWESOME but 4 because I dont know where to open the file

### 3/5 — GPS location sharing required

*2025-09-23*

It's pretty suspicious that this app requires sharing your location data with it in order to use it at all. This isn't a requirement as there are multiple other apps with similar functionality that do not require sharing location.

**Developer response:** GPS is used to make the point cloud location-aware, meaning each point contains real latitude and longitude data. We could update the app so that when the user doesn’t want this, the points use local (non-GPS) coordinates instead.

### 5/5 — the best out there ❤️

*2025-09-20*

Amazing but a little buggy. please keep updating!

### 4/5 — Scanner Sombre IRL

*2025-08-10*

Love the idea and it’s like having the scanner from Scanner Sombre in your pocket. It would be even better if it could visualize saved scans.

### 3/5 — Ungenaue Positionserkennung

*2025-06-24*

Auch wenn man das Handy still hält, wackelt und dreht sich das Bild. Dadurch werden die Punkte verschoben und man erkennt nur noch Gewirr.

### 3/5 — Doesn’t export well

*2025-03-28*

Great app. But when you export the ply it and try to convert it to obj or similar it says that the file shows no geometry

**Developer response:** Hi RoKiKin, OBJ files contain full 3D mesh data, while this app outputs a point cloud—just individual 3D points, no surfaces.

### 5/5 — Phenomenal

*2025-02-12*

This app is amazing!!! I was able to get some point could data and share it. The different viewing modes are cool! Natural types and depth of each of the points.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-08-13*

Just a black screen

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2026-03-17*

It says I need to upgrade my phone

### 1/5 — Non-functional

*2026-02-11*

A total mess of dots. There is no coherent structure. The scene is moving on its own and is creating dragged and stretched objects.

### 1/5 — Lustig

*2026-02-03*

Punkte, mehr nicht. Nichts, was irgendwie einen Zusammenhang mit dem Gefilmten erkenne lässt

### 1/5 — App Format File

*2025-11-19*

It doesn’t let you view the video you took. Can’t upload it into ArcGispro to use. Can’t convert it into app format such as obj. Las. Or laz. It’s useless but looks nice.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback, the latest update now lets you open and view point clouds directly in the app.

The format is ply, with LiDARConvert you could convert it to other point cloud formats like laz

### 1/5 — Incorrect App Store Compatibility Spec

*2025-10-23*

The Compatibility Listing should specify: Only iPhone Models with LiDAR Sensors - 12 Pro and up

### 1/5 — ⚠️Scamware!

*2025-09-27*

App demands gps enabling. When allowed (once, for testing the app), the screen is blank except for a record button. When button is pushed, nothing happens. When recording is stopped, file is saved, zero points are captured. This app does not function as described and should be removed from the App Store.

### 2/5 — Bugs

*2026-01-05*

For some reason whenever I’m stationary it will just randomly start running off in a direction ruining the scan.

### 2/5 — Broken unfortunately

*2025-10-20*

Uses geodata but doesn’t even use that correctly. It will just start sending the camera running off in different directions and screw up the map. What they do have is neat though. Would love to see the bugs fixed and update my review.

### 3/5 — Device Not Supported

*2026-06-16*

I really want to be able to use this and it looks super useful but apparently neither mine nor my brothers’ phones support it.  We have iPhone 15 and 16.  I don’t see why it needs a pro model phone.
