## What is PlaneApp?

‏Also got a pedantic sense of aesthetics? Plane App allows you to capture minimalist photos of building façades. Straight lines stay straight in a fully automated way. Get rid of perspective effects and radial lens distortions on the fly. Discover the hidden beauty of every city with #planeapp.

Plane App uses computer vision algorithms to detect planes that are framed by orthogonal lines. Rectifying your camera feed in real time enables you to see how your photo will turn out before even capturing it. The algorithm does not only correct perspective effects but also radial lens distortion. That way, the straightness of lines in your scene will be preserved in your final photo. Just zoom out and see the actual transformation that is applied or let Plane App crop your photos to their ideal frame. You think you can do better than the algorithm? Drag the markers to four corner points of your object in order to refine the automatic correction.

You've got these amazing pictures of ancient façades from your last trip to Rome on your DSLR? Just import them to Plane App and transform them to minimalist pieces of art. And of course you can directly share them with your friends and followers.

### 5/5 — Perfect for an Architect

*2026-06-16, version 1.2.4*

I used it to correct photos of a building for architectural purpose and is amazing.
I find it very precise, easy, fast and mantains proportions well. Would be amazing just a small add. To add 2 measure one orizontal and one vertical maybe to stretch photo a bit and make it 100% accurate.

### 5/5 — Nice!

*2025-06-25, version 1.2.4*

Ein Steuerelement/Widget für den sperrbildschirm wäre super. Dann könnte man die App direkt von dort starten

Für schräge Aufnahmen oder bearbeiten von bereits aufgenommenen Bildern wäre es top, wenn nur die vertikalen Linien begradigt werden und die Horizontale Flucht in die Tiefe unkorrigiert bleibt

Ein umschalten zwischen normal und Weitwinkel wäre schick

Geotagging der Fotos

Automatisches hinzufügen der Fotos in einen Ordner, bspw. „Architektur“

### 4/5 — Für die schnelle Aufnahme gut

*2025-01-16, version 1.2.4*

Danke für diese App. Nicht selbstverständlich, sowas kostenlos zu teilen. Verbesserungsmöglichkeiten:
1. die Auflösung/ Qualität ist schlechter, als bei normal geschossen Fotos, die ich am Mac/IPhone manuell nachträglich begradige. Vielleicht sogar den RAW-Modus anbieten?
2. In der Mediathek landet eine Art Rohaufnahme mit schwarzen Feldern. Ich muss also im Nachgang nochmal schneiden. Ich hätte gerne zusätzlich das automatische zugeschnittene Bild in der Mediathek, um Arbeit sparen zu können.
3. andere Formate, wie 16:9 anbieten
4. gerne auch die Ultrawide- und Tele-Linse zur Verfügung stellen.
Ich habe diese App für erste Bestandsaufnahmen im Bauwesen genutzt.
Viele Grüße und weiter so

### 5/5 — Very good app

*2024-07-12, version 1.2.4*

Its just perfect. I tried a few similar app, but this works best.

### 5/5 — Does exactly what you expect

*2024-06-30*

The manual mode works with magnification and is very precise, but I only had to use it a few times because the automatic mode works amazingly well. I just wish it could save images in HEIC format.

### 5/5 — Efficient

*2024-04-13*

Simple and efficient! Love this app

### 5/5 — Perfekt - ein echter Geheimtipp!

### 4/5 — Stürzt manchmal ab

*2022-04-27*

aber ansonsten perfekt! Vorher-Nachher Ansicht funktioniert leider nicht, aber kann ja noch werden.

### 5/5 — Super smarte App

*2021-02-02, version 1.2.2*

Super App, mit den Funktionen nach denen ich gesucht habe. Super intuitiv zu bedienen. 

Dafür würde ich sogar gerne bezahlen, bitte mehr von solchen Apps.
