Note: requires a device with LiDAR. The iPad Pro, iPhone 12 Pro or iPhone 12 Pro Max currently have LiDAR sensors on them. Stray Scanner allows you to record color, depth and IMU datasets and export them to your desktop computer. For machine learning and dense mapping applications, you need a dataset to work with. Stray Scanner allows you to collect RGB-D datasets with your iPhone. The recorded datasets contain: - color images - depth frames from the LiDAR sensor - depth confidence maps - camera position estimates for each frame - camera calibration matrix - IMU measurements Once recorded, the datasets can easily be moved to your desktop computer by connecting your device with a Lightning cable and accessing the files through Finder. Put your iPhone's LiDAR scanner to good use. No more fumbling around calibrating and configuring depth sensors. Shoot datasets straight from your iPhone.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Stray Scanner at 5.0 against ApiClient's 1.0. Stray Scanner also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). ApiClient's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 75%) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.6). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Stray Scanner holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Stray Scanner has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Stray Scanner's written reviews are positive against 100% of ApiClient's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Stray Scanner ships an update every 6 months, ApiClient every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
