Per uso professionale

Ottima ma cara

L’app funziona egregiamente, l’ho provata con iPhone 17 pro . Però io non posso pagare 159 euro al mese per abbonamento base senza cloud. In due/tre anni di abbonamento mi compro un laser scanner slam con precisioni maggiori dell iPhone e senza costi fissi mensili , che io non sopporto !!

What is price

Has me create an account, essentially makes me agree to trial and all the while doesn’t seem to mention pricing. Now I have no idea if it’s going to start charging me and how to cancel!!!

Response from developer

Hi, thank you for your feedback. The free trial is for 14-days and during this time our support team will be happy to help. Contact them [here] (https://www.pix4d.com/support/) To keep using PIX4Dcatch and obtain a paid license please contact our [sales team](https://www.pix4d.com/contact/) The cancellation can be done at any time and if you cancel your subscription, it will not auto-renew, and you will not be billed at the end of the current billing cycle. Your feedback is very important to us.

Compatibilty with generic NMEA GPSs

Great idea… it’s a pity not be able to make it works with our GNSS (u-blox)
Have you thought to make it possible to work with any GNSS , through NMEA Protocol ?
It would be fantastic…

Way to expensive

To make a small 3D object you have to pay so much money!

Response from developer

Hi, thank you for your feedback. PIX4Dcatch is an app that turns your mobile device into a powerful, surveying tool with AR capabilities, we offer a free trial to test the capabilities and its potential. We understand that the subscription model may not meet everyone’s expectations, but we appreciate your input and continue to listen to our users.

Intransparente Kostenstruktur

Eigentlich bin ich sehr überzeugt von Pix4D Cloud. Aber wenn man die Kosten dafür in ein Angebot einkalkuliert, darf man nicht vergessen, die Kosten für das Credit Balance System mit anzusetzen! Ein Hinweis darauf wäre sehr hilfreich. Ich nutze Pix4D nur sporadisch, früher Pix4Dmapper. Der Vorteil von Pix4D Mapper gegenüber den Mitbewerbern war immer, dass man mit Discovery sehen konnte, ob ein Projekt funktioniert, dann eine volle Mapperlizenz mieten konnte, um es endgültig zu bearbeiten. Bei Pix4D Catch ist es umgekehrt. Man scannt draußen drauflos um dann später festzustellen, dass die 249€ für Cloud Advance bei weitem nicht ausreichen, weil dazu noch Credit Pakete in 100er Schritten dazukommen. (100 Credits sind inclusive) Wäre nicht schlecht, wenn das in der Shop-Beschreibung stünde.😉

Hi, thank you for your input. PIX4Dcatch is the perfect terrestrial scanning tool to work with Pix4D desktop or cloud solutions. There are different plans and subscriptions for PIX4Dcloud and PIX4Dmatic, and you can find more information about them at our [online store](https://www.pix4d.com/pricing/) We appreciate your feedback and continue to listen to our users.

Survey Tool

I’ve been using this app for 2 years now as a surveyor. I find with the right workflow I consistently get survey grade results that I use for work. It’s also extremely useful as an additional survey tool to gather additional information that I may have missed on the day.

Response from developer

Hi, thank you for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear that PIX4Dcatch is helping you achieve accurate 3D scans and improving your workflow. Your feedback motivates us to continue improving the app. You can follow the continuous development in our technical release notes [here] (https://support.pix4d.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043445632)

I have to pay to use my own photos?! Really?

With the free version, they don’t allow you to download data generated with my hardware. It’s better to record a high-resolution video and extract the frames using any open-source software. Or simply use the competitors’ apps. It’s really frustrating because they used to allow it before.

Emlid RX issues

For the last 2 months this app has not been reliable with the Emlid RX. Either I crashes or it shows an SDK error. As a result, I have been unable to fully test the Pix4D+EmlidRX integration.

Response from developer

Hello, Thank you for your feedback. You can update to the latest PIX4Dcatch version, the issue should be fixed. Otherwise please reach out to the community channel (https://community.pix4d.com/c/pix4dcatch/93) to describe what you are experiencing. Thank you

Expensive gold

This app is extremely expensive but provides you with accurate 3d scans. I wish there was a way to export the 3d scans to a local device instead of uploading them to a cloud.

Pay to use my own RTK???

Why do I need to pay $199 a month to be able to use my own RTK NTRIP corrections and my Reach RX.

If I select RTK via Bluetooth, I am directed to a “pay to play” subscription portal. None of the recent YouTube videos mention this. I am forced to use my iPhone gps sensor or pay $2400 a year. I am a land surveyor. I need the RTK accuracy. Am I missing something or is this a bait and switch sale promotion.

Too Driven by money

Use to be able to export images to pc for free but nothing is free anymore so you lose my good rating

Amazing

Game changer !!!! Must use device!

Almost there…

Great multi function product but outputs contradict. When exporting a scan, photo geo tags are in gps (lat/lon). When exporting GCP’s, coordinates are in SPC (northing/easting). Works great when staying contained within PIX4D environment. However limits using in 3rd party software (ie Faro 3D or Leica Map 360).

Having the GCP’s export in GPS coordinates as well would be beneficial to be able to use the viDoc to pickup extra points on a scene and just add them to an existing project like a total station or gnss receiver.

* Using RTK and referring to csv outputs

Love the idea but

The app fails in so many levels, developers step your game up, stop being lazy.

Response from developer

Hi Mencino1503, Thank you for your feedback. I can confirm we are working very hard. Can you please reach out to the community channel (https://community.pix4d.com/c/pix4dcatch/93) to describe what you are experiencing? We need to know what is happening and will be able to help you better there. I see an update came 2 days after your review, and I wonder if it was able to provide any relief.

viDOC and Pix4d catch

Verry good!

Response from developer

Another app offering wishful thinking

WHAT A SCAM

After a few updates’, I can’t export either my PHOTOS or 3d models? The developer requires that I create an account.
I DO NOT WANT ANY ACCOUNTS !!!

Regardless, the app is trash as the models are of quite poor quality (and the textures are based on the embedded photos taken with a very low resolution)

Response from developer

Hi neretinus, being logged into a valid account is required to export PIX4Dcatch projects. This allows us to know who is using our app plus offers a layer of security for the user restricting who can export from the device. It is not possible to export without an account. All third-party apps are restricted to what can be accessed on the device. Currently, Apple only allows access to this lower rez imagery. Recent announcements seem to indicate this might change. While we would embrace this, we also believe that the current resolution is sufficient as well.

Hello

Need to cancel trial! Hellp how!?

App unbrauchbar

An sich ist es eine tolle App, wäre da nicht das Problem das man sich registrieren muss und ein Abo brauch. Ein weiteres Problem ist das man sich gar nicht registrieren kann. Und Kontakt kann man auch nur bekommen, wenn man sich registriert

Finally got the data processed

A quick 45sec scan took 4 days to process. Would not recommend for business applications.

Response from developer

Hello jfditxutcxdxdrt, I am sorry to hear it took so long to process. Your experience is not normal, and I wonder if you tried processing another project? I would be sure there is an internet connection, and should this persist I would recommend reaching out to our technical support and/or Community for help troubleshooting.
