RoomScan Pro LiDAR floor plans

Love the price and the accuracy! My biggest complaint is the inability to revise the sketches in Xactimate once you import the ESX file so I’m keeping it at 4 stars until that’s fixed

I subscribed to this exclusivily for xactimate use as it exports in ESX. Wall thinkness seems to default to 1/4" and cannot be changed that I can find. As a result wall thinkness in X8 is 1/4" and if you try and change that X8 prevents it due to overlap of area or block requiring a resize or move. The next problem is the corners. They will be out by 1 or 2 degrees and the corner cannot be changed in X8. If it's a simple square room both the wall corner and thickness can be changed/corrected, but who needs a simple sq room? It seems once the room deviates from a sq you lose the abilty to correct it. It scans great, it's just the result for X8 is near worthless.

I got the premium version yet, I’ve been struggling with this for hours. It would’ve been so much easier to just measure the rooms and draw them. In brick mode It says take more scans if you want more precise, however, the more precise I try to make it the more wavy it makes all the walls. Despite it thinking that a wall is ending somewhere if you try and scan to show, it’s not ending there it will give you errors & just won’t move the wall. When scanning through door openings, it will see part of another room and capture it, but then, when you do that next room and try and join them, it will treat what it saw through the opening as a separate area than the new room. It will not let you delete walls. Some walls it won’t let you even move. It seems you have one option to rotate a room right after it’s made. But once it’s incorrectly added to the drawing it seems that option is gone so I had to delete the room and re add it. They’re also doesn’t seem to be an undo in some parts while there is in other parts. The typical apple shake does not undo anything. Because of the problem I had with it correctly orienting rooms to each other. I tried just a walk-through of a whole floor as a “room”, however, that did not work because it didn’t seem to want to put doors in the middle of this room, so it would ignore the thickness of walls, I went inside new rooms. I have an open concept stairway with a vaulted ceiling, and it seemed to confuse the program. It did not like that I was trying to map the staircase and would not acknowledge that a staircase was there and draw the lines associated with it. When I came to the mid-landing instead of treating it as a staircase landing it tried to move the entire floor of the upper floor, down to the landing, and it would jostle the floor back up the second floor and then back down to the landing it couldn’t figure out what to do. In one scan, I did like 50 precise brick wall scans and at some point it misinterpreted something and the entire room outline rotated by 10° and despite moving the camera around so it could see that the room was not positioned as it was showing it it would not correct itself I had to do multiple undos in order to go back and get it to correct itself. I would think that the LIDAR would see that all these data points are there but just misaligned and just correct itself - but it didn’t. I was looking forward to using this, unfortunately, this just is not working out.

I have tried dozens of times to try and get this app to work properly. It will never connect rooms together through the right door. And once you’re done, scanning the room, there is no way to fix the problem and tell the app which door it got wrong.it is incredibly frustrating, because you have to rescan the room every single time. I hate it.

It worked for about five minutes. I could not measure a room. It stopped working and all I get now is a nag screen.

This app tries to disable screenshots by putting an overlay on screen and stops working completely after you take a screenshot until you buy a recurring subscription. Apple should have rejected the app for that.

makes this extremely annoying to try to use. I’ve watched the videos several times, gone through the written instructions twice, searched for helpful YouTube videos and tried scanning a hall at least 10 times but still don’t have it right. If you have many hours to play around with the app I bet it’s great because it seems to have many useful features. With trial and error you’ll eventually get it right. And if you’ll use it a lot figuring it out in your own like that probably is worth it. If you only want to spend a couple of hours creating a plan for your house then you may find this very frustrating.

No point in buying it. Just screenshot the room you want. Uninstall and reinstall.

If you want to scan one square room and get the dimensions, this app will do great. Use the Apple RoomPlan scanning (kudos to the dev for leveraging it so quickly) and away you go! If you have more than one room, budget some time and get ready for a frustrating experience. The app would identify and show scanned nooks, outdents, doors, openings, etc while scanning but the finished scan would loose much of this. I played the lottery by scanning rooms several times to try to land on a version that got most items. You can add doors afterwards, but then you’re back to measuring with tape…what’s the point of the app then? If the room is has too many transitions, surprise!! —the app crashes (iPad Pro 2021). The other big weakness was joining rooms. It would routinely join rooms in distorted locations, and once it’s joined it’s not possible (or at a minimum highly unintuitive to move them). I cancelled my trial and deleted the app. Hopefully something more stable and intuitive is on the market soon.

This app has decent functionality. However, I do run into some bugs that tend to be rather frustrating while using Apple products (iPhone, iPad). One is when I go to Start Scan, and it doesn’t give me a chance to scan the room. Instead it tells me it did not find a complete ring of walls. The 2nd is when I tap “Draw Room Manually” and it still starts the scan anyway. The 3rd is when I am currently editing a room, I hit “Done”, tap on a different room (where I can move it around), tap “Edit [room name]”, and then it returns me to the main overview of that property. I can do it a 2nd time with success, but it is rather annoying.
