User reviews

Crashes at the end of the scan.

When I hit save the program crashes, and I lose the data and video. This happens more often than not.
Otherwise great tool.

Yuck

Right out of the gate, they force you to create an account then force you to turn on your GPS… really gross thinking about what they would do with this data. It seems like it’s got a lot of interesting features for police agencies, but they got money to pay for this. I’d rather use something like 65sqan which is free and I know data ain’t going anywhere.

R3D

If you have a need to 3d scan and create scaled 3d point clouds this is the tool to use. Ideal for vehicles or small incident scenes. I’ve been using it for several years and it is an excellent tool.

Forced Update

Recently I went to use the app in a rural area and to my surprise it REQUIRED an update. I’m in the middle of nowhere with an IPad that doesn’t have cellular data and I cant use what I paid for??? I get updates are needed but they shouldn't be required for use. I had to leave the crash, find service and then update the app. Terrible planning, DONT FORCE USERS TO UPGRADE! I don’t want to be your beta tester. Also, BTW this update the camera is laggy and slow to update the screen.

Best scanning app

Recon-3D has revolutionized my workflow for evidence documentation. The ability to generate accurate point clouds from a short video is continually useful! It’s much easier to scan those hard to reach places, or get a quick scan when time is limited. Support (if needed) is excellent.

FAQ

What does Recon-3D do?

Recon-3D is a scanning application that combines photogrammetry with the lidar sensor on iPhone and iPad Pro devices. It allows users to capture accurate 3D data for various applications, including forensics.
