Canvas Lite for Homeowners

Making me pay for a colorized canvas it’s 2023 but being for real this app is just laggy itself and it crashes if u move it around to fast. Took me almost an hour to make a canvas.

I use this app as an interior designer with homeowners who need to send me measurements of their space before I design them. I get wonderful support from the staff at campus. They always answer my emails personally, and fairly quickly. The only reason there are negative reviews is probably because the user didn’t know how to scan properly or use the app. Don’t let those reviews discourage you. I’ve used it over and over and it’s crazy good! I take these three dimensional drawings and import them into SketchUp and do 3-D renderings of their spaces. The saves me a ton of time and practically like I have another employee.

Its curvey and unacceptable

Never could get the app to scan. First, at least in this model iPhone, it forces you into rotating your phone into landscape orientation when you try to do a scan which greatly reduces its angle of view (the tutorial and media all show holding the phone in portrait, i.e normal, orientation). Second, I tried large/med/small rooms with excellent lighting. Both empty and full of furniture. At no point did the app get past the spinning dots around the “hold still” initialization portion of the 360 scan module. For S&Gs, I even mounted my phone to a tripod..can’t get more still than that! No dice. I find it asinine that they didn’t properly QC this app for one of the most popular (read: prolific) iPhone models out there.

As a design professional, it helps to have a process that enables us to capture a space quickly to study design solutions. The turnaround time is fantastic.

This app is a game changer. I’m in the middle of a garage remodel and it’s been a huge pain trying to get everything just right. I’m trying to show my contractor what I have in mind, and this app made it super simple to do that. Definitely using this when it’s time to remodel other parts of the house!

Paid 3 bucks just for my room scan just to view the file, I just wanted to save the “free” scan as an obj.

I scanned my living room. It looked ok. I did the more detailed walkthrough scan of the combined living room and dining room. I probably spent a half hour scanning the space, then another 15-20 minutes waiting for it to upload and process. It was worse than the first. It was downright horrible. The images for ceiling were splattered across the wall. The images for wall were spread across the floor. It was all mixed up. I think it wasn’t user error, I watched the tutorial…

I had an iPhone XS Max (No LiDAR sensor) and I was able to scan an entire room with great result. I got an iPhone 13 Pro that HAVE LiDAR sensor and when I do a scan, the picture came out jumbled. I tried this with different rooms and different scans and same result. So looks like the app is not updated to either work with iOS 15 OR iPhone 13 Pro LiDAR sensor. Otherwise, how can a 3 years old iPhone with no LiDAR sensor works but not a brand new iPhone 13 Pro WITH LiDAR sensor?

Generally a good scanning experience compared to competitors. Find it very frustrating that it shows me a CAD view but will not let me download it.
