## What is SiteScape?

SiteScape is the #1 LiDAR 3D Scanning App for Architecture, Engineering, and Construction. Capture 3D scans accurate to the inch and built for construction workflows.
*REQUIRES IPHONE 12/13/14 PRO, IPHONE 12/13/14 PRO MAX, OR 2020-2022 IPAD PRO*

CAPTURE IN SECONDS
Just open the SiteScape app, hit record, and watch as a high-resolution 3D scan appears before your eyes. It’s space-age tech made remarkably simple so your team can document more existing conditions with way less overhead.

ENTIRE BUILDINGS WITH INCH-LEVEL ACCURACY
Get the full context with the only app that can accurately capture at the building scale (up to 5,000 ft² or 500 m² with SiteScape Pro) with inch-level accuracy. Instant site documentation that saves hours on field measurements for drafting and modeling.

MODEL AS-BUILTS & EXISTING CONDITIONS
SiteScape is built for construction workflows so you can seamlessly export scans to your favorite CAD programs like Revit, AutoCAD, ArchiCAD, Sketchup, Navisworks, Revizto, and many more.

SYNCING THE FIELD TO THE BACK OFFICE
Send your scan to whoever needs to see it so they can keep up with changes on the job site and get the right eyes on important issues. Share a secure link where stakeholders can view 3D scans in any web browser, on any device!

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2025-09-11, version 1.7.19*

Later our scanner works excellent I have an iPhone 12 Pro and was very pleased with everything

### 1/5 — Used to be great

*2025-08-01, version 1.7.19*

It doesn’t work anymore? When I try to scan, the screen just turns black. The app thinks it’s scanning but then when I complete the scan there is nothing captured. I tried to contact support but got no reply.

### 5/5 — Simple and surprisingly fun!

*2025-06-27*

Amazing app, with simple features! Scanning is simple, and requires no skill other than motor skills that a 7 year old could do. When viewing, it lowers the point count when moving the camera so it’s easier to se perspective. Pro Tip: the default point density isn’t even the highest, turn it up! I have one thing to say: the photo feature is great, but it should overlay the photo onto the scan, would be a great feature.

### 4/5 — App works great

*2025-03-21, version 1.7.19*

Good app, and it does a good job at doing the scans, but I wish there were more export options, like GLB, OBJ etc.. so you can use them in more software, but I understand if the purpose was specific for CAD stuff

### 3/5 — Needs progress bar for Sync to Cloud

*2025-01-09, version 1.7.16*

Stuck uploading with the "syncing" word shown, yet with no ETA or even progress bar! Not good UX in the field. 
Everything else is good.

### 1/5 — Testing

*2024-09-04, version 1.7.16*

Way too slow unless I’m doing something wrong

### 5/5 — คิดว่า

*2024-08-07, version 1.7.16*

โคตรแจ่ม

### 4/5 — Needs to be on all phones

*2024-05-11*

Can you please make I so it works on iphone 13 mini because ein tryin to make a game of my room a d I can't do it without this app so if you can please do if you can then thanks (please write back of what you can do)

**Developer response:** Hi KTBoy813. Unfortunately, SiteScape specifically makes use of the LiDAR sensor unit that's only on certain iPhone / iPad models. An iPhone 13 Pro or Pro Max has this sensor, but an iPhone 13 or 13 mini does not. Compatible devices include all iPhone Pro and Pro Max models since iPhone 12 Pro, and all iPad Pro models since 2020. We hope you understand and sorry we cannot be of more help!

### 1/5 — Newest iPhone

*2024-04-29, version 1.7.14*

Try to open, and a screen pops up saying that the app is only compatible with the newest phones and iOS. 
Only problem is that I have an iPhone15, and just did an update 2 days ago. 
1 star rating and deleting.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2023-12-10, version 1.7.13*

It doesn’t work at all. Using iPhone 12 Pro iOS 17.1.2
