## Description

PIX4Dcatch is a powerful mobile app that lets users create detailed 3D models and maps by capturing images with AR-enabled devices. Simply walk around your area to gather data with real-time feedback ensuring every detail is captured. The images can then be uploaded to PIX4Dcloud or exported to PIX4Dmatic for precise processing and high-quality 2D and 3D output. The app supports integration with third-party photogrammetry software as well.

Ideal for construction site stockpile tracking, volume measurement, and recording underground piping, PIX4Dcatch offers a complete workflow from scanning to analysis and sharing. Compatible with all ARCore-enabled devices, this app turns your mobile device into an easy-to-use 3D scanner to digitize reality with remarkable accuracy and efficiency.

## Review summary

PIX4Dcatch offers impressive high quality 3D scanning with easy photo capture and geotagging, integrating well with Pix4Dcloud. However, users commonly report expensive subscription requirements for processing, frequent login issues requiring internet, limited and unreliable export formats, low capture resolution, and occasional app stability problems that interrupt scanning. The app is suited for professionals who can afford cloud fees but is less friendly for casual or offline users.

### Pros

- Produces high quality 3D scans and point clouds with geotagged images.
- Easy and fun to use with automated photo capture features.
- Seamless integration with Pix4Dcloud for cloud processing.
- Allows exporting of files and projects for use outside the app.
- Automates photo capture and overwrites photo geotags with good results.

### Cons

- Requires cloud subscription to access processing and exports; subscription is expensive.
- App frequently logs out and requires constant internet connection for login.
- Limited export options; exporting as ZIP files often results in corrupted or incomplete data.
- Low resolution capture (only 1080p) without option to save high resolution photos locally.
- App stability issues such as warnings that halt scanning and require restarting.
