RoomScan is an app that lets you draw floor plans by just touching each wall with your iPhone.

The free version of RoomScan lets you scan walls to get the dimensions of a room; whereas, the pro version lets you add doors as you walk around and connect rooms together to create a floor plan.

Features:
• The floor plan appears in seconds, with approximate wall lengths and floor area.
• RoomScan can draw floor plans of L-shaped and complex rooms just as easily as small rectangular rooms.
• Measurements are estimated to the nearest 10cm (or half a foot if using feet).
• For super-accurate instant floor plans, use RoomScan in conjunction with a laser measure. Just tap a wall on the finished floor plan and input your measurement. RoomScan intelligently combines its own measurements with yours to create a perfect plan.
• Add doors as you walk around the room - no need to "drag and drop" them on later (RoomScan Pro only).
• Rooms are automatically connected together to create a plan of the whole floor (RoomScan Pro only).
• Choose your own custom floor plan colours (RoomScan Pro only).
• Measurements are available in metric, feet & inches and East Asian units (坪 / つぼ / 평).

You can download RoomScan from the App Store for free or get the pro version for $4.99.

Take a look at the video demos below!

Junk. I tried it on a small room with four walls, no cut outs or anything. Failed. If it can't measure a box, what good is it?

this app is a scam and a hoax. it aint worth buying even if the dev's pay you to take it... it fails misserbly in everything. i use a 5s booth with and without casing and have tried it in a lot of different locations and it ALLWAYS Fails. if it was possible i would demanded a refund with intrest.

If you look at the reviews, ALL of the iphone 5s users on pro version seem to have problems. I'm using a 4 with no case, and the free version. You gotta be fast, but it does work surprisingly well. From what I have read, the Pro version does not deliver 5 dollars more worth of product. If they improve the app to track movement better, i may consider going pro. This works perfect for estimating how much paint i will need for each room. I own my house, and built it, and DO have floorplans, but being able to measure a wierd shaped room easily is nice. All in all, well done.

I have a feeling of cases being in the way of this. I think that's why it's not working.

Tired the app with several rooms and it failed horribly. One room was apparently too large (I couldn't get to the next wall fast enough) and the other was shaped like an octagon. Maybe they tested this out in a small apartment or dorm room....

Tried the free version..."sweet" only issue I had was the speed in which one has to use the app. Video is indicitive of such.

I have tried several rooms, over several hours, and the results on my iPhone 5S are horrible at best.

Would be cool to make dimensions of the house.

Wow that's going to be a hit for sure !

gamerscul9870 - March 23, 2014 at 4:38pm

Well android, where's your app?

Bobby Meyer - March 23, 2014 at 7:36pm

Oh, better hold your tongue and check it out if it lives to their expectations in real world. Don't be so close minded and if you want to speak out, do it using your real name!

Thank you for being kind but I'm just tired of them copying.
