Limited use

The app expects ASCII PLY files but all the files I can produce are binary format, so I am unable to use the app.

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback. We’ve released a major update since your review, including support for binary PLY files. You should now be able to open and use your point clouds directly in the app.

Check the musical inspiration - always!

Aphex Twin, Radiohead - I know I’m going to admire this programming and probably anything he/she writes - can tell by the Soundtrack which is humbly nominated within the credits
