'TIS THE SEASON Light up your porch with glowing jack-o'-lanterns, crawling spiders, swarming ghosts, and cackling witches — then schedule the whole haunted display to trigger on a timeline so trick-or-treaters get a show, not a static sticker on your window. EasyMapper Studio — projection mapping you can actually carry, straight from your iPhone. Turn any photo, video, or shader into a projection-mapped scene on walls, porches, sculptures, or storefronts. Warp it to fit the surface with your finger, then run it live through a projector. No laptop, no DMX rig, no QLab license — just your phone and a cheap HDMI projector. PREMIUM SUBSCRIPTION EasyMapper Studio's full feature set requires a Premium subscription. Without Premium you can install the app and explore the interface; Premium unlocks everything below. KEY FEATURES (Premium) Mapping & Warping - Corner-drag perspective transform — tap any corner of a layer and drag it to match your projection surface; the keystone/perspective math is handled for you. - Multi-layer editing — stack unlimited images, videos, and shaders on one projection. Move, resize, warp, and reorder each layer independently. - Customizable mesh grid overlay to line up empty layers before adding media. - Move tool with one-finger drag and pinch-to-zoom for precise placement. - Real-time preview that mirrors exactly what the projector is outputting. Media & Shaders - Import photos and videos straight from your Camera Roll; video loops automatically. - Built-in animated shader library (flame, auroras, and more) that warps cleanly onto any mapped surface. - Halloween effects library — pumpkins, witches, bats, crawling spiders, ghost swarm, skeleton, spooky emoji, fireflies, meteors, and fireworks, alongside year-round effects like rain, snow, bubbles, falling balls, rockets, and notes. - Audio-reactive particles and swarms that pulse and move with the music playing in the room — no external sync hardware needed. Show Control - Timeline — schedule when each layer or effect appears on a per-layer track. Drag blocks to set cues, scrub to preview, hit play, and the show runs itself. - Cue-based playback built for walk-up audiences: trick-or-treaters, party guests, or gallery visitors trigger a scene without you touching the phone. Output - USB-C/Lightning-to-HDMI output to any projector — wired for a rock-solid signal, not Wi-Fi that drops when the porch fills with trick-or-treaters. PERFECT FOR - Halloween — jack-o'-lanterns, haunted windows, porch projections, yard displays - Social media — turn a bedroom wall into a content backdrop in minutes - Live events — VJ-style backdrops, stage decoration, branded installations - Galleries and pop-ups — projection art without a desktop rig - Prototyping installations before committing to expensive software WHAT YOU NEED - An iPhone (this app) - A projector (any cheap one works) - A USB-C or Lightning to HDMI adapter - A surface to project onto — wall, window, pumpkin, tombstone, you name it EasyMapper Studio handles the rest.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: MagiScan at 4.5 against EasyMapper Projection Mapping's 1.0. MagiScan also leads on ratings volume (1.4K vs 1) and chart position (#179 vs unranked). EasyMapper Projection Mapping's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 73%) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 11 days). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MagiScan sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $5.49 per 7 days and EasyMapper Projection Mapping sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

MagiScan holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MagiScan has 1.4K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of MagiScan's written reviews are positive against 100% of EasyMapper Projection Mapping's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

MagiScan ships an update every 11 days, EasyMapper Projection Mapping every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
