SCANN3D [Beta]

Broken App. After about 6 attempts with 2 different objects I have not been able to take the 20 photos minimally required before the program loses the object and then crashes. I have other photogrammetry apps to try, this one just doesn't function. It's worth noting that I'm using a brand new S22 Ultra, so it can't be for lack of power on the hardware end.

I really wanted the app to work. The interface is simple, the tutorials are user-friendly, and the visual guides are on point. Pretty everything you'd expect from a decent app, but all the positives are immediately buried under bugs and crashes. To the developers, I'd love to work closely with you to revamp and rebrand your product. There ARE no decent scanners for Android and you guys could be the ones to take over.

This is a review for the paid app. For a phone based app, the scanner decently captures objects. It certainly takes a little of practice to figure out favorable environment/conditions to get accurate scans. The resolution will be dependent on the distance between the camera and the object. I suggest keeping the scan area to about 12 cm x 12 cm, to get a resolution of 2 mm per mesh triangle edge (at high res build). The ultra high build does not seem to be working, even with paid subscription.

It works so far. I wanted to try it out to see how it would print. I scanned a stuffed animal and it got all the details in the picture rather clearly along with the background in spots. I could not export to .stl without paying 5.99 per month with 3 days free trial. The image looked just like the animal so it probably would export fine. I couldn't get many pictures of the top of it. The software is sensitive and wants you a particular distance at a particular height & angle or the image is lost

Terrible All Around. First off, there aren't many controls under settings. You can't even do something as simple as selecting where the files are saved. The built in guide does a horrible job distinguishing between your object and the background. The app crashes every time I try to package for sharing. It won't connect to Sketchfab. Google keeps blocking the connection. I had to manually download the files and guess what, it shows up as a white model without features. 10/10 would not recommend.

So I spent a few minutes taking pictures, tried to export but can't until purchase. Why would I purchase something when I can't try it to ensure it works? You should be able to do at least 2 scans, export and see how well it works without purchase. I did that with a tv service that sucked and took forever to get in touch with someone to cancel trial, too late and was charged a month when I did cancel. No Thanks.

A total waste of time. I scanned one simple object to test it (a remote control), the results were really poor (the main reason was due to fact that the textures didn't match with the object and the mesh was very clutter). Finally, all that work to discover that after the model had been generated you have to pay in order to export it to .obj format!

App seems to have good potential but it is not there yet. It seems like you need to keep moving in one general direction around the object as changing directions seems to create poorer models. The models have very poor resolution and surfaces tend to mesh together. It would be nice if it had a better method for scaling the model and separating surface details. Great concept. Keep improving it!

I couldn't get a decent scan of anything. Even with 45+ photos taken. So I decided to try the pro feature. Figured it brags about better prints so it might be worth it. It isn't. I tried the import feature for photos. Even with 35 photos selected it told me I didn't meet the minimum requirement of 10 photos. So I tried their camera and the models didn't get any better. Also, this app is a battery hog. Don't waste your time.

I was surprised by how many people were having problems with incomplete meshes. I did some strain tests on the app with just 1 light source and crappy photos and got a surprisingly good mesh. One suggestion I have is to just keep the current legacy mode as a feature. I actually prefer it over the current modern version because you see the colors of the mesh as you move it. It's just a tiny thing but I like that about legacy mode. Maybe there's a way you could implement it into the modern mode?

Started the free trial, turns out high and ultra detail modes are simply broken. Every time I run them, Ultra crashes the app halfway through and High gives a failure message. I'm using a galaxy s7 edge, it can't be a technical limitation. This isn't a salable product. And neither the subscription-based payment method nor the pricing makes any kind of sense.

It says it is a free app but it makes you pay for a subscription to upload the final model! That's not free!!! Very buggy and failed many many times before I got one model to finally work. But now I can't use it as they want to charge me when they said this was a free app. Bait & switch!

I was pretty put off at first by the poor reviews but I decided to download anyway and I'm pretty glad I did. I've worked with 3d scanners before and for a free phone app I'm pretty impressed. I think a lot of the negative reviews on this app is because people don't know how to properly light and take the photos. I wouldn't pay the full price tho for the higher quality rendering option tbh

Good app just make the high quality mode free and also make an option to remove background stuff or remove the floor your object is on and also give an option for people to arrange photos in a way instead of just letting program do it. Like let's say I want to take a pic of the bottom of something I can flip it over take a pic of the bottom and arrange that so then I can have a full 3d model. None the less great app.

App just crashes when trying to make a model. Am pressured into a subscription immediately upon booting up but the app, and it disappoints. You are forced to sort of "dance around" an object you want to make a model of snapping photos when all the entry level scanners have the object sitting on a rotating platter and camera static. 3 day trial is way too short even though the full version is affordable. It instantly becomes a parasite on the wallet even if you are just learning it.

App has great potential! I wanted to test it out to further use it in geology and archaeology. Since these are areas with larger objects the app may work better. Once you get your model you can create point clouds and use in CloudCompare or morphological apps. | Camera interface didn't indicate auto-focus yet I'm imaging small items such as artifacts and rock samples. Can it auto-focus on a rock with a non-homegenous background...? or is it better to set a homogenous staging for the item...?

Worst experience ever, the instructions are unclear and when I try to take pictures of a model at one point, maybe after 5 pics, maybe after 19 the shutter button stops working and I have to restart from scratch. This happened several times in a row. So far I haven't been able to scan a single object

Useless. Tried many times in different lighting to scan a head. Quits working half way around, then crashed. Got it to work one time. Mesh was missing the whole left side and the top of the head came out like a white crown. Could probably get the technique right if the program was even the remotely reliable.

I tried multiple scans of a small sculpture. Impossible to use on small objects. Does not seem to understand that the thing in the foreground IS THE OBJECT. Impossible to accurately make the green dots work consistently. You have to move in dutch tiny increments, just totally unworkable. Didn't try it outside on large object, maybe that works better?

Seems good app, but… only real way seems to be a subscription :-( Dont understand why the model is not removed from the background, from the very beginning. E.g. make background transparent via standard image taken previously to the actual scan. You could easily outline the 3D object, person head or body or whatever foreground model, from the background, which for the purpouse of the scan is nothing but noise !! ??

Every time you try to use the higher quality modes the app crashes. I'm using it on an S10 with 8gb ram and enough processing power to handle what it requires. Same thing happened last year when I paid for the pro version. Waste of time. Display.land works better and at least is free.

Never got a chance to finish any 3D scan, once you start moving around the object it freaks out, says its not aligned anymore and if you try to fix it, the app shuts down all the way. Tried 3 times and never was able to make a successful model

My lighting was on point, kept my distance, despite the 1 second lag between pressing the button and taking the picture, I snapped 50 photos and the result was terrible. And then there was an internal error so I can't even view the result any more. No thank you.
