Canvas: LiDAR 3D Measurements

Apps these days… Let me use it without signing in, then convince me to sign in/pay with extra features.

I’ve been sold on the product. Not because I have used it (I know.. it’s hard to review what you have not used) but hear me out. The dedication of the development team and even the CEO on a venture like this is amazing. I was genuinely surprised to see very detailed and personal responses to negative feedback, (even from the CEO). This alone showed me a level of care to execute a product that will go beyond! I look forward to learning more on how to use this application, I look forward to the team helping me use it for the success of my business 💪.

I had a very frustrating experience with Canvas. The scan of my house was inaccurate, and when I reached out for help, they blamed me for scanning it wrong. Although they did offer to revise the plan, it was too late since I had already hired someone else—I needed the plans that day because my crew was ready to start the project. To make matters worse, they refused to give me any type of refund. I wouldn't recommend their service based on this poor customer support and lack of understanding of urgent project timelines.

Canvas does an amazing job of scanning a room. You can view the scan in the app but it’s small on a phone. Getting a file that can be used outside of the app seems to start about $30 for a room (20x16), and it’s per square foot. So give it a try, getting the file is optional.

The app didn’t work with CA. Don’t think you’ll easily get your money back for the program. I eventually gave up after several emails and just called my bank and they took care of it for me.

This app is my go to for time saving!

I am an interior designer I love using this program for remodels! My favorite part is that I don’t even need a tape measure to document existing floor plans. It saves me several hours since I don’t have to draw as built plans anymore!

App doesn’t appear to do anything on-device. You have to upload your scans and “order” some kind of analysis. No reason the app can’t just analyze on-device.

I have been using the Canvas app for several years, starting with the lens device originally and later using the IPad with lidar. Scans rooms and turns them into SketchUp models within about 2 days. Very impressive tool for clients and makes designing in 3d so easy.
