Scaniverse is one of the best 3D scanning apps available that works without requiring a network connection. However, there seems to be a bug with exporting models. When attempting to export in GLB format, an error message appears stating, "There was an error preparing your scan to be uploaded." Additionally, exporting in OBJ format results in empty models. Once these issues are resolved, this app has the potential to be an incredibly useful tool for scanning objects into 3D!

The iOS app and Scaniverse generally are perfect. It's just the android app that has some catching up to do. But it's pretty new, so it's reasonable. The only issue I've been having with it so far is that it is giving me the Limited GPU processing capacity, which I don't get, as my phone is pretty powerful (i think). (Samsung S20 Ultra, Exynos) It makes the scanning really slow, making it barely usable. (for me, at least) I don't know if it can be resolved, but I'd really love it if it could.

this is horrible for scanning bodies.

Great app until I need to export or upload. Export throws up and error (except as .obj but this doesn't appear any software I import it too). Upload to Sketchfab doesn't work, gets stuck on done and appears as a draft or failed on Sketchfab. Upload to Scaniverse doesn't load when viewed. Loads of potential for this app though.

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

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

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 idea, but doesn't work whatsoever. Scan error is gone, but now training splats crashes the app on my galaxy S10. Sucks. Simple mesh option works, slow, and makes horrible meshes with holes and weird geometry. I'm sad I have to give this 1⭐. I lost my faith in this app. :/

I hope the fix fixes. I saw what you guys were doing last night, thank you. I can't wait 😍 Turn off: Manage app if unused

Works great on my pixel 8a but only for mesh mode. Splats look like a splat of dust in the air.

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.
