Considering what this app can do, the cost (free), the lack of advertising in the app , and what you get (the result), I am truly impressed. Yes, you need a mac and for some people that is going to be a deal breaker. Also the process is more involved vs some of the other apps, (no live tracking, no indicator of were you need to scan etc.) However the quality of the final model is excellent and far exceeds the beat models you can produce with more other apps for 3d scanning... Especially if you have used good lighting, captured the object well (from all angles), and have a little experience with how to do this. (A tutorial is available if you don’t have the experience) This app is more on par with extremely expensive software and delivers results good enough for me to actually be able to used in real projects and that is something I cannot say for any other 3d scanner app. (Most of them are more toys than tools and deliver models that just aren’t quite good enough for serious use or require absolutely perfect conditions for decent output ). This app is more tool than toy and delivered high quality output with mere good (not perfect) conditions. (I didn’t need special equipment to achieve excellent results).

This app is great, and it’s free! It can do all the processing on the iPhone itself, which I love. I also like that you can hand off the project to your Mac if you want even better quality. The capture guide is intuitive, as well, which I think is very important for those of us just starting out.

It's a little awkward but if you just follow directions it works really well. Ive used this to make very accurate models and reproduce hard to find broken items.
