User Reviews for Polycam 3D Scanner, LiDAR, 360

Love it.. but could love it more

Tbh i dropped a paycheck on the new iphone 12 pro for the sole purpose of using the LiDAR Scanner. After using this app and several others for about 4 months i can easily say this one is my favorite 3d scanner. Hands down the best for detailed photo-scans of objects. In the top 3 for scanning rooms and spaces. I wrote this review because i really want to see some new features introduced in the social-media platform on the app. I would love to be able to comment and share other people’s scans, follow certain users and locations, and message other profiles. Also, there is a section to add a description when posting a new scan, but this description isn’t available (to my knowledge) to its polycam viewers. As an artist, including the specifics on a sculpture i post in the description is pretty important. I hope to see these changes implemented soon! If they do, i think this app has the potential to become one of the top social medias in the future.

Very cool app but has sometimes pretty annoying bugs

TLDR: the app works well sometimes and other times can’t photo scan a slightly complicated object.This app is amazing! I photo scanned my coffee table, expecting it to produce a nightmarish and warped version of it - not least due to my shoddy photography - but I was pleasantly surprised. There are some cases where objects seem to melt into each other or it interprets a part of the same object as a different one, but since I downloaded the app mostly to mess around, I don’t mind it.EDIT: upon trying to photo-scan a couple more things, I found that the app has more bugs than I thought at first. First, I tried to scan my living room, only for the app to produce a bumpy wall of stitched together photos. Next, I tried to do a box with things inside, which worked well in my coffee table scan, but this time had holes in it in random places, while the background was fine.

Great App - Issues Need To Be Addressed

I’ve been using Polycam for the last year and have been very impressed with its capabilities, and my coworkers and I have been using it for civil engineering applications. However, I recently ran into several issues. I read on another review that you must login to use the app offline. There are many locations where I wanted to perform scans that have poor cell service and therefore being required to be connected to the internet is a problem. Therefore, I created an account. However, it appears to have lost the scans I performed prior to creating an account and now it states “Oops an error occurred. Failed to sign-in. Please check your Internet connection and try again later.” My internet connection is fine, but I’m still getting this error. I hope the developers can address these issues quickly. I had intended on purchasing this app for a many more within my organization, but now I’m skeptical. Otherwise, this app is excellent, but this issues need to be addressed soon or we will have to stop using the app altogether.

Great app why do I have to pay 10 dollars a month for it

While the free 5 captures lasted this app was amazing it is the only app I’ve seen that can do 3D scanning on this level of fidelity buuut there is a reason I only gave 5 stars you have to pay 10 dollars a month just to be able to do the ONLY thing the app can do but I have 2 solutions one I think the devs will dislike and the other the community will be eh about1. Add ads each time you send something to be modeled this will be nice because the people who pay for the subscription won’t get ads but also get the rest of the pro features 2. Make it so each day you get 1 free capture at a limit of 10 so each day you can do 1 capture but if you don’t use it it doesn’t disappear this is my favorite but I could see why the devs don’t add this one

The fastest textured LiDAR app around

Since the release of the Ipad Pro with Lidar, I've had the opportunity to test a significant amount of apps that support the new lidar hardware. When I came across Poly Cam not too long ago, I was immediately impressed by the results. The speed and quality of the captures are some of the best I've seen. Really impressed by the texture mapping, the blending of the seams are really well done, including the UV layout. The model formats currently supported will get you into any DCC application out there for further editing. Overall I love the ease of use and speed of this app and looking forward to new features and improvements from the Poly Cam team. I highly recommend giving this application a go for your capture needs.

Load screen freeze without access to internet - Slow load with location turned off

M1 iPad Pros both 11 and 12.9 inch both 1TB (16 Gb ram), iPhone 12 Max Pro running iOS 14.6. Polycam 1.5.4 - issues also in previous iOS and Polycam versions. Subscribed to yearly plan last month after using free for a short time. Free version worked as expected with internet or offline. After paying for app, it would hang at Polycam load screen for a seconds/minute or took me to touch screen,again, either with or without internet. Than few updates ago App stopped loading while offline. CAN NOT USE without internet! Deleting App (lost scanned data) and installed new version. Issue continue. Phone and tablet are portable devices that are used in remote location where cellular data or wifi is not accessible. Why is internet needed to load App? To require access to internet after subscribing is not fair. There are other free scanning Apps that work offline and without location data. Subscribed to support developer rather than free version. Free is not always Free (data farming). Hope issues are fixed in future updates.

Good app, performance issues

Firstly, this isn’t the first app I tried but so far it’s the best. I tried a scan of an entire room, but it always crashes when saving. I’ve had it successfully scan a room only once, and the result was fantastic! I’m using an iPhone 13 Pro Max. I haven’t yet tried the pro features you can buy in-app, but I am saving those for when the app can finally handle a room. My hope is that I can find a way to use this for work (not scanning rooms). Limitations of this app so far (when it works for me) are that it doesn’t scan well in low light, reflections such as mirrors or metallic surfaces confuse the app, but those are expected. LIDAR is dependent on light after all. I’d love to make this a 5 star review if it didn’t crash so much, as the pro features seem very promising. I am looking forward to seeing this app’s growth.

Pure Magic

This is an app that truly amazes you and gives you hope that technology is going amazing places. This takes me back to the primal beginnings of the App Store when crazy weird new gadgets were being made, developers brimming with passion adding new features and improvements with lightning speed. It does what it says, and it’s the best. You just hit record, point, move, and capture. Then the exporting and sharing process is quick and easy. Tying it all together is an elegant interface. Since I’ve downloaded Polycam, it’s had quantifiable, memorable updates that make it even more functional and beautiful. I can’t wait to see where it goes in the future.

App works great!!

EDIT: they fixed the bug and now the app works perfectly! Incredible app.For starters: I’m on iPhone 12 Mini, iOS 15.6 The app just hangs on the message “hold device still to calibrate” forever and never does anything. Not to mention the lack of feedback the app gives the user, of which there is none. Would be helpful to have some indication that the app is processing or something so I could tell how much longer I need to stay still. Maybe a progress bar at the very least? Or any feedback that the app is actually doing anything or why it’s asking me to hold still. When I try to close the capture window and exit without saving it doesn’t do anything except add a small message that says “saving data” which ,once again, hangs forever. I haven’t even been able to get the app to take one photo. I hope an update comes soon because in theory this sounds like a very powerful app that I’d be happy to pay for, but until then I have to give it a poor review.

cool app

it’s amazing that i can create captures like this on my phone! the app is well-designed and powerful.i’m knocking off one star because when i tried photo mode, after uploading all my photos, it failed on the server during processing. it was very unclear *why* it had failed. the first time i thought it must have just been a server error so i tried it again. and again! i finally found a little snippet of feedback about why it had failed… “make sure to get your subject from all angles”. well i’d uploaded the full 250 images it took in auto-mode so im pretty sure i had good coverage. anyway, i think putting this info, obtuse as it was in my situation, front and center when the failure occurs would be helpful.im going to try again but in manual mode, but it kinda stings a little bit that my failed captures count against my free photo captures i was allotted. i guess that’s why i’m here leaving this review so I can get some more captures to hopefully not fail with!
