I was ripped off for $18 ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2022-03-13, version 1.9.7* Not what I was expecting does not have scan to plan function that I could find , very poor if any instructions how to use it. Pay up front , no trial period waste of money . ### 1/5 — App scans but won't access the files *2021-06-07* The Lidar scanning works very well, i just cant open or view any files without the app crashing ### 1/5 — Not working *2020-09-10* Apple Pencil (2nd generation) doesn’t work in the app. I could not draw straight shapes. Appears extremely clunky & disfunctional. Why did I pay $17.99 for this? **Developer response:** App supports to draw lines, arcs or circles. You can compose complex shapes from these simplest primitives. Edit it with grip and snap points. Apple Pencil 2 not supported yet. Full description is available on the App Store product page. ### 2/5 — Export to pts / network problem *2025-01-10, version 1.9.10* There is problem with exporting to pts end saving file. Not working after the iOS update. ### 2/5 — Appli qui n’emmène rien *2022-08-27* Je regrette mon achat, aucun didacticiel, pas intuitif du tout. On se demande comment d’où sortent les screen shoot qui présentent le logiciel. **Developer response:** Hello! Follow this link to get manuals for surveying (for devices with LiDAR sensor):  https://drive.google.com/file/d/1yOcT1_m0G6WYzwQaeVMDRUNOKY6izM1F/view?usp=sharing And Manual for Cad Editor for all iOS devices: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1C6P0nkgCwQ6NmFel22Vx0IIsSgGaAov3/view?usp=sharing All these manuals available on our web page: www.cadspace.xyz If you have more questions, feel free to ask by mail: lidarcadsupp@gmail.com ### 4/5 — Yes but almost *2022-05-20, version 1.9.7* Almost what we need. Unfortunately we still need to convert the point cloud in recap as no rcp Rcs export option. There doesn’t seem to be a way to create a textured mesh from the images like some of the other 3d scan apps which would be very useful where text is hard to make out from a point cloud. Presumably the images/video isn’t saved from the scan? Also have an error NLS files missing Roman Mac to ansi 1252 when trying to open in windows autocad. Display with Line weight would be a good option as is difficult to see while drawing. We tried changing but the view was unaffected. Fading the pointcloud or setting transparency would be another useful option to have. Otherwise.. fast and easy to use scanner with a good amount of tools to mark up for use in cad software. ### 4/5 — Lidar survey to cad *2021-03-27, version 1.9.2* A great survey tool, wall and surface recognition.. Outputs straight to AutoCAD to convert the mesh to surface in civil 3D (ensure you use the in app explode feature to ensure Civil3d can create the surface). This allows the production of sections through the Point cloud or triangulated planes. ### 5/5 — Great tool for underground mining and construction! *2021-07-03* Love this app, use it all time at the underground mine I work at. I was able to scan 300 ft of tunnel and match it with a survey scan. Perfect for scanning cross sections for ventilation stations and measuring distances. I can easily use the data in Maptek Point Studio and Trimble business center. Only complaint is that I can not export my scans as a las file I have to convert the pts file in Trimble in order to use it in Point Studio. So 6 ****** stars if you can add a las as export option. ### 5/5 — Brilliant.. *2021-04-21, version 1.9.2* As part of my job I have to manage stockpiles of rock salt for the gritting of roads during winter and the volume measurement ability of this app will be very useful. I tested the app against a known quantity of 1,400 tons (1,400/1.378 m3) of rock salt in the barns and it proved very very accurate. Delighted. ## Most praised reviews (3 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — LidarCad Survey *2021-02-06, version 1.9* Early impressions are that this is the software to use if you are completing site surveys into CAD programmes. It’s compatible with the programme I use, and makes the CAD collection from site so much quicker and impressive. ### 5/5 — Great updates *2021-01-31* I can now apply field codes to points as I create them. Several survey applications where this level of accuracy is acceptable. Great tool. Thank you for the amazing app! ### 5/5 — Good *2020-11-10* I use this app to view drawings. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
