Pointscape is a point cloud viewer for iPad and iPhone. Open multi-gigabyte E57, LAS, LAZ and COPC LiDAR scans on the device already in your pocket, measure on site, pin findings in 3D, and hand over a PDF report before you leave. Free to download, no account required. BUILT FOR THE FIELD Pointscape is the point cloud viewer for AEC: surveyors, scanning service firms, BIM and VDC teams, engineers, and contractors who do not sit at a workstation. Open the registered scan on site, check it against what you see, and record the finding where it sits.

Also runs on Apple silicon Macs. MEASURE AND INSPECT • Distance, area, height, and angle, with snap to point • Pin notes and issues directly on the scan in 3D • Filter by classification to isolate ground, vegetation, or buildings • Eye-Dome Lighting for crisp edges on dense scans • Color by RGB, height, intensity, or classification. Adjustable point size and shape. REPORT BEFORE YOU LEAVE • One-tap PDF report with the project address, annotated snapshots, and measurements • Works on scans that live only in the cloud, nothing to download first AI ON YOUR SCANS Add the Pointscape plugin to the AI assistant you already use, through the open MCP standard.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Pointscape at 5.0 against OrthoGraph BLK360's 1.4. Pointscape also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 4 months). OrthoGraph BLK360's advantage is ratings volume (8 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
