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.

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.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

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.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

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.
