  1. 4/5Best mobile 3D scanner for iPhone X

    I’m kind of blown away at how well this scanner works. It’s not perfect however compared to what’s been available this is incredible. The biggest issue is not the 3D scanning, its the “WiFi file sharing” feature. While I suppose this could be useful I really don’t understand why the developer doesn’t let you just share using the expected avenues such as email, iMessage, save to phone or air drop. I don’t even know what it means to wifi share a file is to be honest... I’m still not sure how to access the scanned data. I’m guessing file size concerns have something to do with the choice to WiFi share/export your 3D scans, maybe the app isn’t very strong with managing the captured scan data? I think it would be nice to at least have other export options. At very least make it more clear on how you send/receive captured files over WiFi. Also, adding .fbx and .obj as file format options would be fantastic. Right now the .stl files are strictly catering to 3D printing apps. .obj and .fbx would be easier to share with industry standard 3D modeling applications, like C4D, Zbrush, Unity. Still giving it 4 solid stars (assuming I figure out how to accept a shared WiFi file). The quality is really impressive and again, compared to what’s available, this is amazing. Please polish and continue working out the bugs, this is a really promising app. Finally getting some use out if this iPhone X depth sensor!

  2. 5/5This is amazing and I am blown away

    This app scans quite accurately especially for it being on a cell phone! After reading some reviews I was shocked to see this app was only 2.99 and am sad I missed that opportunity but even at it’s current price it is still worth it one for real night vision and two for the quality of the scans. Some reviews stated the quality is not that great but I think they fail to see how amazing this works on there cellphone it’s not a hundreds of dollars piece of equipment designed for this kind of thing. I’ve never used a professional tool for this but especially for recreational use this is mind blowing and the developer has done there due diligence on explaining how to get the best quality images from It The only thing I am disappointed in is the one star reviews that people have given this because either they have to pay for it or because it’s not supported by there phone - dear developer I applaud your effort to keep this app from being purchased on unsupported devices and I’m sorry you get poor reviews for actually being a good person. Keep up the great work and amazing customer service. I don’t review things often but your honesty and quality of app and the fact that it’s a one time purchase not a subscription make me feel you deserve every one of the 5 stars and ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ this is 5 more for you and your team if you have one honestly and truly way to go! Edit to ask if you have ever considered or were even able to add on a view finder for Apple Watch I know it’s smaller market but it would be a very beneficial addition

  3. 5/5The best

    I have used different scanners of the years (Sense, structure Sensor) and also trialed different “big name apps” with not much success, until Heges. I started using it a month ago or so and have created dozens of scans. It’s accuracy for me is key. However, I am also very impressed with Heges, and Mr. Marek Simonik the developer. Let me tell you why: For example, the mere fact that the mirroring connects - and stays connected to another iPhone or pad - the way it does is way superior to the other apps I tried so far. This is very important since it’s just not easy to scan 360° objects without having a projection of what is being scanned in real time. Second, the vibration mode is an excellent indicator of the scanning process and status. If tracking is lost, it’s easy to know without having to look at the iPhone’s screen, and saves time. Third, the accuracy and definition of the scans are very high with the Face ID mode and the option to share/save/upload them to a dropbox folder is a very helpful feature. Fourth, the adjustability of the precision and range features enable the user to customize the app for the next scan. Fifth, being able to start or stop a scanning project by using the upper Volume button is really helpful. Finally, the quality of the support and responsiveness from Mr. Simonik are simply incredible. If I could give a 6th star, I would. Thank You.

  4. 5/5Hands down the best one on App Store

    I don’t generally review things, but I literally tried and bought every scan app on the App Store, and this one is by far the best. The biggest complaint I had about the other apps is that you had to go super slow and be extra steady when scanning or you would instantly lose tracking. This apps tracking is good enough that you can move at a pretty brisk pace (within reason for 3D scanning of course) and it doesn’t skip a beat. Also most other apps lose tracking if you have your phone stationary and are moving the object in place, such as on a turn table. Never had an issue with that using Hedges. And for the small one time fee, it makes it even better since not only does it scan faster and more accurate, you don’t have to pay a subscription to save your scans, like most other apps. Definitely worth the small fee in my opinion.

  5. 4/5Image mirroring reverses text

    App scans better when I also slowly move the phone in a ~4” circle perpendicular to the object being scanned. I expect the IR pattern is inconsistent and this manner cleans up the scan. The sensor also seems to have a regular error pattern, which indicates that an initial calibration against a flat surface could be added to the app (apple should do that as part of manufacturing and lock the calibration matrix into each phone). Many times the app will mess up if you get too close. Likely better registration using the color camera and the phone gyros could prevent that error. When using mirror option, the text also reverses. Please keep the text “normal”. The academic papers on RGB-D scanning for deformable objects have some great new algorithms to register in post processing. This app would be amazing if it could perform those algorithms, or send the data stream to the cloud for post processing. Ideally I’d like to be able to walk around my house, moving closer to some objects and further away from less interesting areas, and have the entire house rendered. It would be even cooler if I could do the scanning over multiple sessions and they would all be merged together. Does the output to STL maintain accurate measurements? Is 1mm in a scan going to be reflected as 1mm in the STL?
