Want to capture images in more than 2 dimensions? With the rooomScan 3D Scan app, your smartphone or tablet becomes a full-fledged 3D scanner that lets you take photos and convert them into 3D models. Experience how you can create an impressive 3D model within minutes, which you can freely view from all sides. All you need is this free app. Turn your mobile device into a 3D tool for: - Very easy creation of 3D models from photos - Guided scanning of objects for 3D model creation - Creation of augmented reality content - Viewing 3D models - Create 3D models for embedding on websites - Create 3D content to share via social media or email How does the 3D Scan app work? By moving your smartphone or tablet around your object, you allow the scan app to cap-ture it from every possible perspective. Don't worry, the app will guide you through the process step by step. Once you're satisfied with the resulting photos, you give them an object name, such as "green chair," and click to upload them to the rooom system. After just a few minutes, a finished 3D model of your object has been created from your photos and is waiting for you in the app. Now you can freely rotate the 3D model, zoom in and out, and take it digitally with you wherever you go. What do you have to watch out for when scanning? Objects with transparent or reflective surfaces are not suitable for scanning. Also, objects smaller than 3 cm cannot be scanned properly by your mobile device as a 3D scanner. The maximum scanning distance should not exceed 5 meters.

Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Smart 3D Scan holds the better App Store score, 3.4 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Smart 3D Scan has 10 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 14% of rooomScan's written reviews are positive against 0% of Smart 3D Scan's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
rooomScan ships an update every 3 months, Smart 3D Scan every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on June 1, 2026 and July 7, 2026 respectively.
