Revo Scan-3D scanner app

I noticed when you use the app with the scanner, and also use it to convert it to a Mesh, it is very low quality, as compared to the Desktop App , and also there is no way to change the Mesh settings to be able to create a higher quality file. I hope in next update , you add the function of being able to save the file in higher quality Mesh file.

This app is terrible. I have issues with connecting to the scanner, then performing the scans. I connect power to the unit and wait about 30 seconds. Then I connect to the scanner’s WIFI. Then I open the RevoPoint app. Fir a very, very long time, up to 7 minutes, the app says, “No scanner detected. Connect a scanner.” Finally if/ when it connects, I get to the section where you set the scan settings. Once i do that and then press the button to start the scan, I get 4 spinning red dots, and one of two things happens: 1. In up to 5 minutes, the 4 round dots go away, and I can scan. 2. The spinning red dots never go away. Then I force close the software and start all over again. Sometimes I’m not able to get it to scan no matter what I do. This does not happen on the computer app. I’m running IOS 16 on an iPhone 13. I do not remember this happened when I first got the device. 2 things changed since then, a scanner firmware update, and updating to IOS 16. Once I do get a scan going, the phone app does have significantly more trouble keeping tracking of the object than on the computer. I tested this by scanning the same object using both methods. Also, not related to this app, but it seems this device in general, works much better when the scanner is stationary, but the scanned object is placed on a rotating platform. Unfortunately this isn’t always feasible unless you are scanning a small object.

I bought the pop2 Kickstarter version so at the time of receiving mine, directions on connecting to the app were a little confusing. I recommend connecting to a pc first and trying the computer program version downloaded from the Revopoint site to verify the camera works. Afterwards disconnect the camera from the pc and plug it into a wall charger. Go to your WiFi settings on your iPad/iPhone and look for the Pop address to show up. Type in the camera password. Launch the app and it should connect to the camera when you tap the New Scan button. To save out the scan, make sure the cloud point data is fused and then convert it to the mesh( I found the buttons on the left hand side after completing the scan. You will need to have something like Dropbox installed in order to save the scan off your device so you can access it. To save out tap on projects, select your scan, then share it to a file share.
