It offers a different type of experience that is refreshing. The only major drawback is that unlike the rest of the crowd, you cannot save or export scans. It’s fun to play in the app, but I would love to call up past scans, place them in AR space, and export the point cloud for editing in 3D software like Sketchfab and C4d. I’m keeping an eye on this fun app, hoping those features appear in further updates. ### 4/5 — Interesting App for Using LIDAR Artistically *2020-11-22, version 1.0* This app allows more off-beat uses of the LIDAR scanners in the newest iPhones and iPads. By capturing a line or ring of points instead of the whole scene, it lets you play with time and space in a way that reminds me of long-exposure “light-painting” photography apps. It’d be nice if there were a way to save your captures for later viewing within the app, and options to export theme to other programs. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Incorrect info *2022-05-21, version 1.0* The app description here says it’s compatible with my phone but it isn’t. ### 1/5 — Don’t work on 13 mini. *2022-01-03* Don’t work on 13 mini. ### 1/5 — Lame, only has iPhone 12 support *2020-11-20, version 1.0* Lame. Only has iPhone 12 support. ### 2/5 — Issue with app *2020-11-16, version 1.0* It says that it works with iPhone, I have iPhone XR, but when I open the app a message pops up saying that it is only compatible with some generation of the iPad Pro :/ ### 3/5 — Amazing app ruined by no export *2021-07-10, version 1.0* What’s the point if I can’t save this to use with vr? ### 3/5 — Awesome idea, needs improvement *2020-11-29, version 1.0* The apps use of lidar in this way is really creative and cool, but it needs some basic usability improvements, including the ability to actually capture/save the photos/videos you create ### 4/5 — Comparability - Old App *2026-06-13, version 1.0* I think the app uses the device model to match with a list of allowed devices, ones with LIDAR sensors when this was last updated, which means newer devices will not work. Pretty upsetting, but it’s understandable due to it being an old app. Looks like it works as intended based on rating though, so 4-stars, hope it gets a compatibility update in the future. ### 4/5 — We need an option to save *2021-08-26, version 1.0* This scanner creates the most aesthetic pointclouds of all of them. But its „useless“ without the save button. Please continiue working on this app. ### 4/5 — Is it possible to save the scans? *2021-04-10, version 1.0* The app is perfect but I can’t save the scans. ### 4/5 — Very cool *2020-12-24, version 1.0* This app is wonderful. The only thing it’s missing is video recording, I can’t wait to see where the devs push this app. ## Most praised reviews (7 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — On The Beam *2021-05-08, version 1.0* This just became my favorite app. ### 5/5 — Very cool! Recording please :) *2021-03-07, version 1.0* Really cool app, some awesome possibilities here! Just wish I could record/screen cap. Giving it 5 because I don’t want to 4, but think recording is a no brainer. ### 5/5 — Legitimately Awesome App *2021-01-21, version 1.0* I am being completely honest when I say that if you have an iPhone 12 you must get this app. As a graphic designer and avid photographer, I have spent countless hours on this app and am planning on doing a major study focusing on its thousands of capabilities in the art world. You can use it for fun (and lots of it), use it for creating virtual artworks, and use it to freeze time in specific locations. This app probably my favourite app for the iPhone 12, and is so fun and easy to use you would think it is by Adobe and cost 100+ dollars. There are also NO ADs!!!! Press download now, I promise you won’t regret it... A major thank you to the developers for creating this, and I hope you add even more features in future updates. ### 5/5 — Great app for lidar owners *2021-01-07, version 1.0* This isn’t going to give you a high end photogrammetry model, it’s for soaking up reality in real time and it really works. It’s like painting the point cloud onto the real world (turn off background and you end up just seeing the point cloud). First lidar app I’ve tried that made me laugh out loud at how cool it is. Great stuff, thank you devs ### 5/5 — Great app but just for fun? *2020-12-17, version 1.0* This is a great app with great idea, but I need save to file feature please. ### 5/5 — This is a very cool app *2020-12-13, version 1.0* I think this app is one of the first to really explore the creative uses of the iPhone LiDAR beyond realistically scanning a room. It is minimal, but works extremely well. Hopefully they can add recording functionality, but screen record works fine for now. I’m very excited to see where this kind of thing goes in the next few years. ### 5/5 — Very cool use of Lidar *2020-11-24, version 1.0* Works exactly as advertised. Very cool, creative use of Lidar. Obviously your device needs to have Lidar (can’t believe some j-wagon gave this a rating of 2 stars because his iPhone XR doesn’t have Lidar — give me a break). But if your device has it (iPhone 12 or new iPad Pro), then definitely give this a spin. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
