ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

3d Scanner App™ holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 3d Scanner App™ has 16K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of BerryCam for Raspberry Pi's written reviews are positive against 46% of 3d Scanner App™'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

BerryCam for Raspberry Pi ships an update every 3 months, 3d Scanner App™ every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on August 15, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
