Heges 3D Scanner - Reviews, Revenue and Downloads - Apple App Store

Description

Create 3D scans using the 3D camera (FaceID or LiDAR) of your iPhone 14, 14 Pro, 13, 13 Pro, 12, 12 Pro, 11, 11 Pro, XS, XR, X or iPad Pro! Export scans into STL, PLY, OBJ, GLB (glTF), share them and more. On older devices, you can use the ordinary camera mode or the Screen Sharing feature.

This app is *PAID* up-front. Why is it free-to-download then? To protect people with unsupported devices from buying it (more details at the bottom of this text).

Heges is divided into two modes:

= 3D Scanner (**PAID**, requires one-time In-App Purchase)
============================
- Available only for the iPhone X, XS, XS Max, XR, 11, 11 Pro, 12, 12 Pro, 13, 13 Pro, 14, 14 Pro and iPad Pro with TrueDepth camera and/or LiDAR sensor as an In-App Purchase (Why? Read more at the bottom.)

- Create 3D models by scanning everyday objects
using the selfie TrueDepth camera (FaceID) and/or the rear LiDAR sensor

- After scanning, export the models into PLY, OBJ (both with colors),
STL, GLB (both without colors) file formats

- Share exported models e.g. via built-in Wi-Fi server or
view them in the iOS Files app

- Use the physical volume buttons to toggle scanning session

- Double-tap anywhere in the live camera view to Share Screen with another iPhone/iPad,
so that you can better see what you're scanning

- View the models in AR

- You can scan in pitch-dark environment and use Heges as a night vision camera!

- Choose from the available scanning precisions — the higher
the precision, the shorter the scanner range

- To get the most accurate scans, you must use the selfie FaceID camera with 0.5MM Precision settings; do not use LiDAR if you need accurate scans

- The selfie FaceID camera is much more accurate than LiDAR (approx. one order of magnitude),
the models in the promo videos were scanned using the selfie FaceID camera of iPhone X

- Use the selfie FaceID camera for scanning fine details (up to 2 millimeters accuracy with FaceID and 0.5MM Precision settings)

- Use LiDAR for scanning large areas (e.g. houses, hallways, rooms, etc.), LiDAR is NOT suitable for scanning small objects with detail — use the selfie FaceID camera for this purpose

- Objects in scanner range are highlighted in the live view

- Switch to the passive Night Vision where there're no
explicit restrictions on the scanner range

Instructions for the 3D scanner:
- Move slowly when scanning

- Make sure that most of the captured scene is within
the scanner range

- Please read the FAQ at https://hege.sh/faq

The scanner isn't perfect and can fail when moving too fast or scanning a challenging environment (e.g. glass surfaces cannot be captured due to the nature of the TrueDepth sensor).

A NOTE FOR iPHONE 13 and 14 USERS: The iPhone 13 and 14 lineups introduced new TrueDepth (FaceID) camera designs, which produce lower-accuracy results compared to older devices.
To get best scan accuracy, consider using any iPhone 12 or older with FaceID.

= Color camera mode
============================
- Available for all devices

- Manual camera focus

- Sharing photos via built-in Wi-Fi server

= Why don't you make the app paid on the App Store? Why the annoying In-App Purchase?
============================

It's for protecting people with unsupported devices. (I wish I could make it paid directly on the App Store.)

Heges needs the 3D-sensing selfie FaceID camera to be able to capture 3D scans. But not all iPhones/iPads have the FaceID camera, so the app needs to check if your device has FaceID before it allows you to buy the app.

The App Store does not allow developers to check if your iPhone/iPad has FaceID, so the only way to check is if you download and open the app. Once you open Heges on your device, it will check if your device is compatible and if isn't, then you will not be able to buy it.

If you have any questions just drop me an email at [email protected] and I'll be happy to help you :)!

Very poor quality

A complete waste of money

Great app

Downloaded this after seeing it be used in a YouTube video. Decided to give it a shot even with the low rating. This app has absolutely amazed me with its quality and usability! Definitely worth paying to unlock the full app! Been using this to scan mine and my family’s heads so far, creating into STL and then 3D printing them 👌

Mixed opinions

For a toy to mess around with, the price is a lot. But seeing its capabilities and scan results, it is cheap if used as a tool regularly. I won’t be buying until I actually need to use it, which may be never 😅. This is a good app to showcase the lidar features from time to time so if only using for this reason it’s not worth the money imo.

No trial = no purchase

Looks cool but can’t actually use the apps primary feature without paying £8 with no trial offering. Maybe in strange but I’m not paying almost £10 for something I’m not even sure works

Nothing to do

No demo just full on option to buy it,nothing else to do.

Does not work on iPhone 13 pro

Update 17/07/2022: Before writing the review below I tried restarting the phone and I also tried reinstalling the app but neither of the two things worked in fixing the app from crashing. After the developer responded below I tried their suggestion of force restarting and this has actually fixed the app and it is now working. Lesson learned, always ask support before writing negative reviews! The app now works as promised so thank you for responding below. I’ve also changed the Review to the amount of stars deserved. 😊 Original review: I’m on an iPhone 13 pro. Paid the 7.99 to scan, and as soon as I pressed scan the app froze. I thought it would be a one off thing, but no, after restarting the app the same thing happened. I haven’t actually managed to get any scans. Would be filing for refund

No feature unless payment of £8

Any app that attempts to frustrate the user into paying money gets a 1 star from me. By pretending to be free, all features are disabled without payment.

Best 3D scanning app

I’ve used a lot of 3D scanning apps on different phones, most want expensive monthly subscription fees to use or get half decent scans and they use the cloud to process the scan, but with Heges it’s just one payment and all the processing is done on your phone, this is by far the best app I’ve used, it’s fast and produces great quality scans, it also picks up where you left off quickly if you move a little too fast. This app just keeps getting better and better with every update 👌

⚠️Beware £7.99 paywall

EDIT: After the developer contacted be, I have raised this to a 4 star, but please be aware that I haven't tested this app as of yet. The app instantly asks for a £7.99 purchase. While I respect that developers need to eat too, and I'm greatful that it's not a subscription, it would of been nice to be informed of this beforehand.

Face scanning only?

£7.99 and I can’t use the rear camera? Refund please.
