I can only access the first one. I need to access the scans which I did when it was free - now they've put a pay wall - it's basically illegal to do that in Australia it's called past consideration and it's a contract breach. The app itself was always quite slow and never captures 3d spaces very well even when you go ridiculously slow it will lose its bearings. So for an app that isn't very polished, I'm unsure why they'd put a paywall on the free stuff? Unless they're at capacity for their storage. In any case, these scans were from a previous time - if I knew id eventually have to pay to access it I would've not used this service or made other decisions. ### 4/5 — Kind of good *2026-10-18, version 7.0.6* The processing is slow but it is worth it ### 2/5 — It looks cool but it always disappoints *2026-10-10, version 7.0.5* This app always disappoints me. I might need to give it up and just get a proper lidar camera system ### 2/5 — Résultats décevant et long en traitement *2026-10-08, version 7.0.4* L’upload est long sans wifi (généralement sur les lieux de prises de visuels). Le résultat est de faible qualité ### 2/5 — Downhill *2026-10-05, version 7.0.4* This app used to be phenomenal. I’ve had it for years. I’ve used it for a very long time. I’ve used it for a lot of stuff around my house. I’ve used it for a lot of stuff around families houses, and stuff like that. I used to have so many features when I paid by the year, I was a premium user. It was cheap and I’ve had the same subscription since I signed up for this app, but for some reason I keep losing features. I keep not being able to do things. The price keeps going higher. Losing my subscription and then having to pay more to get the next subscription I’ve lost the ability to see floor plans now except once a month for free without paying for a business subscription what are y’all doing? Besides running out the people who have been using this app for years ### 1/5 — Danny *2026-09-29, version 7.0.3* Trying to 3d scan a motorcycle part and it’s just a mess would definitely not purchase ### 1/5 — Subscription scam *2026-09-28, version 7.0.2* They automatically subscribed me to the $400/yr business plan after my 7-day trial period. Obviously many companies do this on purpose to mislead anyone who wants to test the app but not commit to the subscription. Pathetic company policy and won’t be using it nor recommending to my colleagues when there are cheaper and less predatory alternative options for 3D scanning. ### 1/5 — Trash pay to win game *2026-09-28* I was almost exporting the model and suddenly need to pay to win for the textured model in other maps very trash ### 1/5 — No floor plan option *2026-09-28, version 7.0.2* I downloaded this to test out if I could scan a house and get a floor plan. Obviously I’m not going to pay for it before I knew if it worked or not. Did a simple scan of a few rooms on my house and got no option to convert it into a floor plan. After some sleuthing apparently I had to click the “floor plan button on the top left of the screen before you start scanning”. Only problem with that is… there is no floor plan button on the top left of the screen. I’m in scan a space mode, not the floor plan mode or something else. And I’m on the latest iOS. Is it a free trial thing? The website says the free trial includes 3d-> 2D floor plans so idk. ### 1/5 — Awful *2026-09-27, version 7.0.2* Impossible to use. All measurements are very inaccurate, quality is very bad, floor plans are poor. Nothing is right with this app. ### 1/5 — Not worth in 2026 *2026-09-27, version 7.0.2* Monetized and made worse as all great apps inevitably do ### 1/5 — This app is adware *2026-09-26, version 7.0.2* Wouldn’t process my object and stopped working after I closed it. It only took my email. ### 1/5 — Was great til forced updates *2026-09-26, version 7.0.2* Cant use anymore 🤷‍♂️ ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — $400 taken from my account *2026-10-25, version 7.0.6* I wanted to try and was sick when they sent the warning that I would be charged. Then they took $400. This is a scam. I’m going to try to stop the payment. I don’t want the app it’s not worth that much money. There are other apps that don’t take $400 ### 1/5 — Poor app for hobbyists *2026-10-20, version 7.0.6* Wanted to scan things around the house for fun, but apparently there is a 10 scan limit without ability to get more scans if you’re on the free plan. Deleted right away. Close out the trial screen so you don’t get scammed into a subscription. No need to sign up for trial to try it out. ### 1/5 — Buggy & expensive *2026-10-18, version 7.0.6* Froze consistently on top of the range new iPhone so clearly not fit for purpose. ### 1/5 — 30 dollars and you can’t download reports *2026-10-16, version 7.0.6* I use to love this app for simple projects, but it has gotten expensive and they have limited functionality with cost. Insane ### 1/5 — Cash Grab *2026-10-16, version 7.0.6* Deceptive subscription model, beware. You may get charged for a full subscription and you cannot cancel it. The tiers are ridiculously expensive as well. Beware ### 1/5 — NEED PAYMENT INFO FOR FREE TRIAL? NO THANKS. *2026-10-15, version 7.0.6* Too many reviews sharing how people were charged after canceling. Not giving access to my $$ to run a free trial and see if the app is worth the cost. Deleted app. ### 1/5 — Be very wary of a ‘Free Trial’ *2026-10-08, version 3.2.4* I clicked on the ‘Free Trial’ option and was alarmed to be charge about £70 for a year’s subscription. I received no response after lodging a complaint. It’s a shame as the App showed some promise. ### 1/5 — Stingy *2026-10-03, version 7.0.4* Some features used to be reasonably free, then everything became locked behind a paywall, might as well charge to download the app at this point, no point in making it free to download. ### 1/5 — Scam *2026-10-03, version 7.0.4* Do not do the free trial. They auto bill for a year after it’s done. ### 1/5 — Unusable *2026-09-30, version 7.0.3* Crashes on launch every time I open ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2026-10-19, version 7.0.6* I used this for a project and crazy what our phone could do. Was able to identify level changes and plan out a design online before I worked on my project ### 5/5 — Impressed *2026-10-16, version 7.0.4* Very pleased with the results of my first scan. It’s surprisingly easy to pick up and learn for someone like me with zero prior experience. ### 5/5 — The only scanner I ever use *2026-10-14, version 7.0.5* Incredible app ### 5/5 — Impressive *2026-10-13, version 7.0.6* It's honestly incredible how easy the app is to use and the scan quality is stunning. I'm having a lot of fun with this tech. ### 5/5 — Great company great team *2026-10-10, version 7.0.5* I did an interview in Polycam and talked about my small business and they gave me some great suggestions there a great company and I would suggest them to any contractor that I mean ### 5/5 — Good *2026-10-09, version 7.0.5* Good ### 5/5 — awsome *2026-10-06, version 7.0.4* awsome ### 5/5 — Polycam Fire Investigations *2026-09-26, version 7.0.2* Polycam has become one of my go to Fire investigative tools. It’s great for measurements capturing 3-D models and spatial relationships. My Fire investigative scans can be walk-through on Meta quest and I can conduct training all around the world with my 3-D scans. Polycam is essential for training and Fire investigations. ### 5/5 — Highly recommend *2026-09-25, version 7.0.2* Awesome application No more to say ### 5/5 — Very useful *2026-09-16, version 7.0.2* Captures site information quickly! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
