VeinScan turns your iPhone camera into a live vein visualiser. It analyses every frame, recombines the colour channels into a narrow synthetic wavelength band, and boosts local contrast - so the veins beneath the skin stand out clearly on screen. HOW IT WORKS A camera sees the world through wide red, green and blue channels. VeinScan mixes those channels into a much narrower band that you tune yourself, anywhere from 500 to 1000 nm. It then flattens uneven lighting, applies adaptive local contrast enhancement, and filters out fine hair, leaving a high-contrast live map of the vessels under the skin. PIN IT IN PLACE WITH AR Found a good view? Tap ANCHOR and the enhanced image is pinned in 3D space, right over the arm. Built on ARKit - and on the LiDAR scanner where the device has one - the anchored image stays locked in position while you move the phone around it and look from another angle. Optional hand tracking follows the limb if it shifts. FEATURES - Live spectral enhancement, tunable from 500 to 1000 nm - Four view modes: Normal, Spectrum, Inverse and Vessels - Adjustable bandwidth, contrast, illumination flattening and hair filtering - AR anchoring - pin the enhanced image in 3D space and walk around it - Hand tracking keeps anchors aligned when the limb moves - LiDAR depth and surface fitting on supported devices - Exposure bracketing for steady shots - Torch control, freeze frame, zoom and adjustable overlay opacity - Collapsible control panel for a full-screen preview - English and Hungarian PLEASE READ VeinScan is an experimental visualisation tool. It is not a medical device. It does not diagnose, measure or treat anything, and it is not intended for any clinical or diagnostic use. What you see is a contrast-enhanced camera image, and how well it works depends a great deal on lighting, skin tone and which iPhone you are using. Never rely on it for a medical decision. PRIVACY Everything runs on the device. VeinScan has no account, needs no network connection, and never collects, stores or transmits your images or any personal data.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: VeinScan at none against File Explorer & Player's 4. VeinScan also leads on ads (none vs shown). File Explorer & Player's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
