Hi @Idler the software is already outdated and not supported , please download and install latest Revo Scan 5 version .

Also you can use screenshot capture in your laptop by pressing Print Screen key on your keyboard in place of taking pictures with your phone , less work and better quality .

But what I see is simple losing tracking in your scans , use marker mode if you have issues with tracking or add additional elements to your scanned scene .

I stall latest RS5 it will works better
