Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros Everything works great. Easy to use and good pricing. It makes things easier. I love the support channel and the trainings. Cons Nothing so far. It could always be for free, I guess :)	Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros The tool has the ability to create 3D content in real time, avoiding having to take hundreds of photos to then make a coupling process, with Scandy Pro we do not have this problem which allows us to create a much more exciting user experience. Scandy Pro has many advantages and one of them is the easy way to make the scan and share it, you also don't need to have a device of the year, you can even use it on an iPad 2019 and it will work without any problem. We also like that all the projects we do are kept private. From the first try the results of Scandy Pro are accurate and very direct, especially if we take the time to scan the object well because it takes a very perfect shot of it. In terms of editing and filters it has the best options and its mobile application is very practical, which makes it very intuitive when handling it. High resolution, faster and more reliable scanning with features that anyone could ever want from a mobile 3D scanner. The ONLY software I could figure out to scan my face and create mini meeples of myself for game boards. It's fast, easy, and works really well. Cons One of the big disadvantages of this APP lies in not having cloud storage, an extremely important tool for everyone today, with the rest of functions we are doing quite well, but they must provide cloud service as they are a paid service. With the app we only have one problem and this is that if we delete a file we won't be able to recover it later as Scandy Pro doesn't store in the cloud or make backups, it's a feature we certainly wish they would add in future updates. They should offer some kind of mirror that comes in a physical purchase package to be able to adapt it to the device we are using with Scandy pro as this would facilitate the scanning process if done from a front camera. Sometimes also the learning curve needs to be checked thoroughly as you have to have trial/error to get the desired results due to its low learning curve with the same curve. I really like Scandy Pro so far with no experience of downtimes The UI can be a little sleeker. Versions are confusing between this and stl maker app.
