## Description

Scaniverse delivers fast, on-device 3D Gaussian splatting for capturing and sharing scans directly from your phone. Point your device, walk around for a minute or two, and the app creates high-fidelity splats and meshes with minimal fuss.

Your scans stay private by default and don’t require internet access. Share to the global map, export to OBJ, FBX, GLB, USDZ, LAS, PLY, or SPZ formats for use in your favorite tools, and join a growing community exploring the world in 3D.

## Review summary

Users praise Scaniverse for free, ad-free access, high accuracy without LiDAR, and easy sharing/export to STL. However, multiple reviews flag a problematic new version with UI complexity and irreversibility, missing crop tools, usability friction, and splat outputs that aren’t printable, plus limited small-object scanning.

### Pros

- Free to use with no ads or paywalls
- Very high accuracy/quality scans, often beating paid apps
- Works without LiDAR (uses just the camera) and supports iPad
- Exports to STL and other formats for 3D printing; easy sharing/AR view
- User-friendly / simple to use; It just works

### Cons

- Major version update introduced complexity; can't revert; loss of access to previous scans
- No options to crop 3D models
- Some find the UI hard to use or confusing
- Splat mode results are not real 3D printable models
- Limited usability for small objects / lack of turntable support
