I use MagicPlan on every job.  I have an iPhone and an iPad pro.  By itself, MagicPlan isnt nearly accurate enough, but  I pair it with a bluetooth enabled Leica Disto laser and get good results.  Some objects (windows and doors) don’t import correctly, so it’s not perfect, but it’s a big time saver.

I’m interested in your experiences running it on Android.  MagicPlan recently switched to an augmented reality system, and I think they focused development on apple devices.

I understand that 2020 is now collaborating with Laser Products.  They make the tripod lasers that stone fabricators use to template for countertops.  Since the LT laser devices are in the $15k range, that’s not likely to be in my budget anytime soon.

I’d be willing to invest in the “structure” system, though.  That’s an add-on laser scanner for iPad that’s only about $400.
