What a dismal experience. So, tell me when does this app not crash? when does it actually stay open long enough to do anything? crash crash crash so no idea what it can do

The best 3D scanning app I've found. No account necessary, no subscription, and the Gaussian splats look very nice indeed. The only complaint one might have is that Niantic is known to use submitted data to train AI models (perhaps generative ones), but that should only apply if you post it.

Amazing concept but dire in practice. The app never loads properly when I try to sign in and the app on the Quest 3 constantly tells me there's a server error and clicking the triggers doesn't take me into any of the location 'crystals'. Would love to be able to record and upload my own scenes.

great for scanning in objects, without lidar it often loses track for larger stuff

This app is truly amazing! It offers a few great features and has no ads or anything. It just works right out of the box. Highly recommend it to everyone!

This was a amazing app! This let's me do so much. My favorite part is that how it's free and let's me use it online and more. and this will give me alot of interest! The quality is so good! I give this a 5 stars because this is a master piece. I don't even need a lidar camera! But also I really hope you guys put video or images to 3d object. Just in case I have a broken camera or just don't want to scan live and just simple instead.

app crashes whenever i want to create a 3d mesh

it's a good app, but you need a good phone to use it. I needed to buy a phone cooler in order to use it on my somewhat new phone to keep it from overheating and crashing, and it doesn't do this with any other app. other than that, it's really good.

Pros: makes neat scans, and is great for exploring the concept of Gaussian splats, without needing to sign up for yet another service that could be breached. Cons: no external processing whatsoever. It's all on your phone, and on a Pixel 5 it takes nearly an hour to refine the data. Would love to see a desktop companion program that I could USB transfer raw draft scans to, and process them there. I've got a perfectly good rtx 3070, let me throw it at the splat processing!

just crashes when it tries to I initialize the camera

While the mesh and SPLAT quality is limited I love the AR visualization option. It would be great if the app would show me when motion blur is affecting my scan or areas that do not have high image feature density so I would know which areas of the scene can not be properly scanned and need improvement
