### 5/5 — Best app I’ve found for scanning people

*2021-06-20, version 3.4.0*

When trying to find an app for scanning students to use at our makerspace it was getting to look like it was impossible without spending $500 or more after literal days of searching I finally found this app and it worked perfectly at an amazing price as well. This app really needs more attention

**Developer response:** Thanks for the generous review!  New v3.5.0 improves Mark II and Pro sensor quality.

### 1/5 — Broken app

*2020-11-20, version 3.3.0*

I have a new iPad and a new mark II sensor.  After the app detected the sensor it remained a black screen indefinitely

**Developer response:** Hi, sorry for the delay in getting the iOS 14 issues resolved.   Latest release v3.3.1 fixes the blank screen issue.  Also, we're working on another release for 2021 with a significant boost in quality.  It's been a battle, but hope you'll enjoy the results.

### 5/5 — Structure MKII

*2020-02-09, version 3.2.0*

Great app for the Structure MKII sensor, easy to use and scan quality is excellent.  High quality lossless PNG texture maps, multiple export options.  Pretty much the only quality app out there for this sensor.  Some work left to do with the floating scan option, but was with the investment for the pro option.  Hope the developer continues to improve the app and add additional functionality and options!

**Developer response:** Thanks a bunch!  New update coming, hope 2021 will be a stellar year for MKII device owners!  Time to show what this thing can really do.
