### 1/5 — 에픽게임즈 로그인

*2026-08-04*

진짜 쌍욕나오게 ㅈ같이도 만들었네. 인증을 대체 어떻게 하라고 이렇게 개 말 ㅈ같이 만들었냐

### 1/5 — Underwhelming performance

*2026-07-28*

Ist komplett unbrauchbar mit einem iPhone 13 Mini. Gerät wird trotz freiem Speicher nach nicht mal 10 Fotos sackheiß und die App stürzt ab. Hab nicht einen einzigen Scan hinbekommen.

### 2/5 — Good Concept

*2026-06-26*

I love the concept but the documentation on Epic’s website is not up to date for the latest iOS release.  Additionally I cannot find any threads that talk about an issue I am having on iOS 26.5, iPhone 13 Pro where the 0/300 counter doesn’t increment in any of the modes.  I click the white capture button, it shows a shutter animation and I feel a vibration as if it is capturing but the counter remains at 0/300.

### 1/5 — 18??

*2026-06-25, version 1.8.1*

You have to be 18 to scan an object, what is this? This is ruining people’s dreams in wanting to do something cool, I wanted to do sm cool but now I have to wait like 4 years. Are we serious

### 1/5 — Waste of time

*2026-06-01, version 1.8.1*

Crashes during capture and during point cloud calculation. Never completed a project. Doesn’t save your data or photos taken after crash. D tier app.

### 1/5 — They broke it

*2026-05-23, version 1.8.1*

3 years ago it functioned better than it does today. I can’t seem to get anything useful out of it now. I like the addition of the camera controls but when I crop the scan and go back to capturing more images it is still trying to capture data way outside my crop.

### 1/5 — Stuck loading

*2026-05-20, version 1.8.1*

Unable to load the app. Every time I boot it up I get stuck on a black loading screen.

### 5/5 — Best scanner

*2026-05-18, version 1.8.1*

The most high quality 3d model scanner app you’ll find!

### 5/5 — Richtig gut

*2026-05-14*

Ich mache Fotogrammmetrie mit dem großen Bruder für die Workstation. Ich dachte ich schau mir das mal an, aber jetzt habe ich festgestellt, dass App echt viel Potenzial hat, besonders wenn man sie mit DOT 3-D gemeinsam benutzt.
Haltet Ausschau nach dem Workflow von Underground Mapping

### 1/5 — 계정까지 파게 만들고
