Getting started with the Flatness Check App
FARO® Flatness Check is an iPad app that works with your FARO Focus laser scanner to quickly find and document flatness variations in concrete slabs and other floor surfaces
As of April 23, 2026 the Floor Flatness app is no longer supported however:
-
Customers who already have the app installed on their iPad may continue using it as-is.
-
The app will remain functional until it becomes incompatible with future iOS releases.
-
No further updates, enhancements, or technical support will be provided.
FARO Flatness Check also enables you to visualize your analysis result in augmented reality. You can view the floor through FARO Flatness Check, and see a heat map of flatness variations superimposed onto it. This makes it easy to find places on the floor that need attention.
To get started:
- Install the FARO Flatness Check app via the App Store on your iPad.
- Flatness Check also requires a FARO Sphere XG account, if you do not already have one you can create Sphere XG Account from here
- Open the Flatness Check App on your iPad
- You will be prompted to sign-in to your Sphere XG Account (or create one).
- Once signed in, licensed users can begin using the app.
