Wondering if it is going to be integrated into the app.  
Or is there some other app I can use to import basic scanning into the app?

I Think they abandoned that project.

Here are 2 apps you can use though.

Hey Syonty, I use scaniverse for this.

I crop and make the scan straight in scaniverse and then export as stl into shapr 3d. It works particularly well with spaces and larger objects. I have done several interior projects like this.

Thx, trying those 3d Scanner and scaniverse seem to work for my needs.
