Bluebeam Revu For Ipad App Reviews

The application as a markup tool functions fine. Where it falls short is everything else. WebDAV connections still don’t work even with the newest update. I contacted their support for some insight on the WebDAV connections and to see if there is any planned support for OneDrive. I was informed that major development for the iPad app had ended and they are only working on critical bug fixes. That makes zero sense to me. Apple isn’t going to stop releasing iPads, so why are we not going to get any new features? I suggest finding an app that will continue to be better supported in the future.

Used to be great...now it constantly crashes, especially, when searching documents.

Makes my job/life easier. Don’t have the need to carry BIG rolls of drawings anymore. It used to crash (a lot) on my old iPad air2 32gb., too many files, updated to iPad pro 12" 256gb. and the problem went away. I need to mention that I bought the PC version/program for my laptop and works GREAT. Very happy with the app and the PC program.

There are more crashes in this thing than a demolition derby. I love a lot of features and could love this thing, but the crashes are incredibly frustrating. When it crashes you lose what you were working on as well. Interface could be a bit more intuitive. Better if it allowed you custom stamps on the go, not on the desktop app.

Crash crash crash. The only reason I force myself to use this app is because the markups mostly work like the PC version. The interface of the iPad app is so bad it’s almost useless. Trying to save and open files takes way too many steps and far too long to do. Way too much waiting, no drag and drop, no google drive... and the syncing feature is too difficult to use. When I try to open the help section, the app crashes and I have to delete and reinstall the app for it to launch again. Wow!

It CONSTANTLY crashes while in a studio session and trying to work with a custom toolset that was loaded.

If there’s any troubleshooting available I’d like some advice before swiping it off my iPad and re-downloading it and paying for the program again. It worked great for a few weeks and now I can’t open any files on it at all. I’ll click on it and it acts like it’s loading but then it force closes. It’s convenient to have this app on hand for work to pull measurements.

Been searching for a PDF markup and measuring tool on iPad that integrates well with a variety of cloud services, OneDrive in particular. This is not working for that. Beyond file management issues, the interface is buggy at times with odd font and icon sizes that don’t scale well on larger devices (iPad Pro 12.9) making for a poor user experience.

Ive been using the app and it has been working great until recently. The IPad updated and now ReVu crashes upon opening. Please fix!!

We use Bluebeam a lot with my company. 3D pdf ability would make field coordination so much better.

Compared to the PC, this app is sloppy, slow and has a terrible user interface. For iOS, it’s simply outdated. Incidentally, the PC is no gem. Constantly crashes, and I can’t wait for a competitor to come along and create something better for the AEC industry. Bluebeam just doesn’t seem interested in making reliable software with good UX.

I love Bluebeam Revu on my laptop, but this misses the mark. No support for OneDrive or Google Drive or iCloud. You are stuck using older cloud services. Opening a doc, editing and saving has the extra step of storing then moving to and from one of the other cloud services. Cannot drag and drop pictures from the iPad camera roll. This version does not take advantage of mobile devices at all. It is merely the computer version made to tun on a mobile device. I wish I could get my money back.

This ended up being better than most of the reviews led me to believe. It needs the ability to connect to and access a local network file share via SAMBA. Cloud solutions are nice but most of my PDFs originate on my local network server not in Dropbox or box.

Where are the flags? That is a must-have function as many PDF files that I review contain flags. Why you remove it from this app I don’t understand. Also the page thumbnails section allow only one column view. It should freely change the thumbnail view layout as you drag the grab point to the right, like the desktop version. The worst part is you can’t add an account for Windows SMB connection. If I want to directly access files from my office server, I have to rely on other apps to open i.e. “share with” Bluebeam. Fix all of these, then I will be a happy customer.

I need Bluebeam to redo this app using the new 2018 UI and adding better Apple Pencil support. I want my whole team to use this app with an iPad, but I just can’t justify it with the way it is right now. The pencil support is awful. I love the desktop version, it’s phenomenal, this is a weak area for bluebeam right now and it needs to be fixed.

Basic features work ok. The developer does not seem to care about providing updates or new features.

It’s the fasted PDF viewer for large format architectural drawings that I’ve used so far. The interface is a bit quirky, but matches the desktop experience to a reasonable extent. I like how synching works, even though I feel like I’m relearning how to commit my changes back to dropbox every time I do it. Now that I’ve used it on jobsites for a while I’ve come across some issues that are just too much of a hinderance for me to keep using it. Apple Pencil support - The app appears to have not been updated since the pencil was released. When I go on a site visit, I’m taking down a bunch of measurements and want to quickly scribble them on my drawings. The pen tool still works beautifully for this with the pencil, but often when I pan and zoom I’ll draw accidental marks with my fingers. This happens enough to be a hindrance, and is exacerbated by my next issue. I just wish there was an option to reject finger input with the pencil. Annotation options are not persistent - this one absolutely kills me. I like to use different colors to denote different types of dimensions. You can adjust pen weight and color easily enough by simply tapping the gear icon at the bottom of the annotation toolbar. But heres the thing: every time you switch away from the tool your using, save your progress, or hit undo, the settings revert back to default values for everything. That’s right, every time I accidentally make a mark when I’m trying to move my view in some way, deleting the mark or hitting undo reverts me back to the default thick red line. For a while I just dealt with this and used the defaults. Now that I’m actually working on much bigger and more complex projects I just can’t deal with this combination of issues. I wanted so bad for this app to be my go to for field work. An iPad in a tough case with a pencil is the ideal setup for me, small, portable, and no giant sheets of paper to fold up and fuss with. Unfortunately Revu just isn’t what it is on the desktop to me. Hopefully, just for now.

Buggy, laggy, dated, ugly UI, no iCloud support...honestly, marking up PDF drawings in GoodNotes is so much faster and supports full iCloud sync. Hey Bluebeam, the 90’s called, they want their code back...

Hasn’t been updated in years and has been sunsetted by Bluebeam. Do not pay for or download.

I spent a couple of hours trying to figure out how to align my text to center, a simple task some would argue; however, they would be wrong! According to Bluebeam technical support: “That feature for Text Alignment is only available in Revu Windows, not the Revu for iPad. So you would need to open that file in Revu Windows and then use the Text Alignment feature. I tested this out on my end. Let me know if you have any other questions.” My question now is did they leave it out on purpose, or is this some sort of discrimination against apple? I just want to draw a circle with a leader and some centered text, obviously this is not allowed on Bluebeam Revu for iPad users! I will be seeking damages in the form of a refund. Discrimination is wrong!!

Zero compatibility with a new iPad Pro 12.9 (2018) and notability is far superior in annotating experience. Don’t expect anything like desktop version of the software.

This app is awesome, but it’s a handicapped version of Bluebeam for Windows. As you can see the seldom updates are pretty much for stability and iOS compatibility. Would be awesom if the snapshot resolution would be updated. 150 should be minimum instead of maximum.

App crashed with several files with markups open. Now it won’t open at all.

This app should never have been released with the myriad of crashes, illogical controls, features that simply don’t work. Buy a copy of PDF Expert to see where you went wrong.

Say that the app crashes a lot is an understatement. I’ve tried having only this app running and on the good days I can work for an hour or so. On bad day every time I open the session the app crashes. I have not been able to use this app in over three weeks. As I said when it work it works well, of course there is always room for improvement.. however if you are unable to open the session you need it is simply a paper weight.

Great app, has significantly reduced time needed on inspections. However it would great if each image that gets attached to the pdf would have a unique name. Right now each image is named TmpCameraImage.jpg. Even just using the naming convention from the device being used would be great.

This app lacks a lot of the features that the PC version has and really suffers because of it. It’s basically only useful for viewing PDFs but there is a free version that does that just fine. If you could merge PDFs and copy and paste pages, I’d say its worth it. Since you can’t, it’s not worth the cash.

Overall this app. is very useful. Recommendation: Please include the ability to access file from Apple “Files” application.

The Bluebeam app constantly crashes for no reason, so you have to save markups and files constantly. I ha e tried having only single page PDFs open and it still crashes. It’s very frustrating and often makes me want to carry paper drawings instead. The app also seems to always have problems with syncing files I marked up on my iPad. Often, I have to email the files to myself and manually replace them on my computer. Bluebeam could do better with their support for the app, considering how much better Bluebeam is for the PC.

No matter what I try, when opening drawings they either partially appear or don’t appear at all. Contacted customer support and got no response. For a $10 app I would at least hope the basic functions would work!

This app is not optimized for the iPad Pro in anyway. Additionally it crashes all of the time. Bluebeams desktop client is great. They clearly have not put the same effort into this app.

This review will receive 5 starts upon the app gaining support to open and save files natively to OneDrive or the ability to work with iOS files built in files app.

Contacted support repeatedly and still couldn’t fix the problems, still haven’t updated or patched problem in months, don’t waste your time.

Just paid for and downloaded this app and can’t even fill in one document without it crashing. I can’t get past the first word without it crashing. Great app.

This program is the definitive .pdf markup tool but the developers are clearly afraid to enable basic core functionality necessary for this application to become the rock-solid powerhouse it could and should be for the field Project Management and AEC industry sectors. •Markup Objects are only allowed to be rotated in 15º increments which impairs the quality of field markups – rendering them with a sloppy appearance and an amateur result. •While the quality and versatility of markup objects is good, the inability to group objects to simply drag them to a new location is short-sighted. Again without the ability to rotate objects as a group, the developer forces the skilled CM or PM to endures far more laborious process to get marginal results. Without the ability to drag a group the user is left with only CUT and PASTE which has no precision and handle references are not used. •Sorry again folks... there is NO keyboard support for this app. Employing modifier keys for stylus or finger selection of objects is simply a more precise way of selecting or modifying markup objects without the clunky and destructive approach of touch-and-hold for a rudimentary popup menu to appear. Object size and position changes almost without exception while just trying to get a 'cut/copy/paste' task done. When you create a product that can easily provide mastery of .pdf drawing markups to the field PM/CM market sectors then it is foolish to provide it as a half-measure when the developer could completely dominate the market at 5-10 times the current price. Fully enable this product to become the de facto tool in the iOS world and you will own the world of .pdf markup for Project Management, AEC, Event Planners, Realtors and countless other professionals who rely on communicating ideas through improved use of the portable document format. Bluebeam is afraid that by unlocking too much practical capability within the iPad version of their software they will dissuade users from purchasing the desktop versions. Not True. That is simply short-sighted in 2018 when the real world of AEC is no longer glued to the desktop and iPads have become such effective PM tools that laptops simply don't go out into the field anymore. When we work in the office we will always chain ourselves to our desktops with multiple instances of our CAD software, massive project coordination documents in .pdf, across our four to six 28" monitors. UPDATE: After days of customizing my setup by building numerous markup object groups in order to develop my workflows, the program spontaneously lost all of my groups and objects with NO warning or identifiable event. This is the height of frustration and user despair – “Not another one~!”.

Are you planning on updating the app to match what is capable with bluebeam 18 on a desk top?

Constantly times out and accessing google drive storage is unsupported. I don’t have time to duplicate all my files into another cloud service to make this work.

Literally crashes every time I turn off my screen and every time I press my home button. The app has to restart every time you exit it!!!! Want to use the delete button? Forget about it, it will crash the app almost every time.

I have the same crashes and problems with "open-in" as others have been reporting in iOS 9. It is useless now. Previous versions of this app were very useful and productive tools. This is extremely disappointing because we have Bluebeam on every workstation at the office. We rely on it for shop drawing markup and design review. A rock solid mobile version is what we need. It doesn't even need to have all the bells and whistles. Bluebeam needs to concentrate on this so we can reliably use it for punchline work in the field.

Crashes constantly. Unsaved work may be lost when this occurs. Very frustrating. Also should have a tutorial overlay available and or some kind of training references.

Worked fine on my 12" iPad until about a week ago. Now I can't even open the app. Crashes constantly. Please fix this.

I rely on this app to review and mark-up drawings. Since the update the app crashes every time I use it. It has become useless to me. Secondly, if they are able to fix the crashing problem, they need to work on the handwriting tool. It is horrible. Way too glitchy. I would love to be able to write on a drawing as if using a pen.

Don't work....

First!! :D This program has completely become an integral part of my career. I use it all of the time and can no longer work without it. At the office, in the field, and on the go, this app is always by my side. And I love the fact that I can use my Box.net account to manage my drawings, because with PlanGrid I was limited to the 50 drawings I could store on their servers. Not good for me since most of my plan sets typically exceed 70 drawings. On the job site it's functionality is second to none. I just bring up the set of plans, set my scale, and I'm off! Adding pictures, annotations, and very precise measurements. Significantly increasing my workflow. I really can't say enough good things about this app. A few things I hope to see in the future are totals, curved measurements, and tool presets. But the absence of those features does not slow me down in anyway. Still a rock solid piece of software. I'd give it 10 stars if I could. A must have in the modern construction industry.

I have been a user of this app since it was first introduced. I have recently been pushed to find another to take its place. It crashes constantly, takes forever to open some blueprints, and if I try to use a hyperlink it instantly crashes. I hope it gets fixed because the apps potential is huge, but in its current version it is completely useless.

I have been using bluebeam on my PC for years. I decided to try it out for a punch list on a project and it worked out great! The app has a lot of features I haven't even touched yet. It has crashed a few times on me but I have never lost information. It also will sometimes not recognize existing PDFs previously opened, however a hard close of the app fixed that.

Brand new iPad Pro. Brand new Apple Pencil. The pen markups still do not write smoothly. Great potential, but needs help. Much like the students I teach.

The app works well, but it's time for an update to support the hi-res screen of the iPad Pro!

I've used it on site and in the office and if you have a desktop version that you were willing to pay for and you have an iPad then you need this app. It's a bit glitchy sometimes and you can't view 3d pdf's but it sure as h*** beats a roll of plans.

My thoughts and opinion seem to match previous reviews. I utilize Bluebeam on my desktop daily. However, Revu iPad is not reliable. The amount of crashes I have experienced have forced me to use other programs in the field. I contacted Bluebeam Support with my problems, and never heard back from them. I really hope Bluebeam puts more effort into their future iPad programs. As of now, unfortunately, I will not be using Revu iPad.

Not reliable... Crashes all the time. It's horrible to write with the Apple Pencil....!!

Great marking up, transfers well from the Bluebeam experience on the PC A few grievances: -having to "accept" or save after every markup -really poor integration with annotation from the Apple Pencil, which is where this app could really shine.

Absolutely terrible app on the iPad. Crashes constantly. Be prepared to have your bookmarks randomly deleted and your files corrupted. I've had two files corrupted in the past three weeks. I've had to uninstall and reinstall twice in the past four months but this still does not fix the crashing and corrupting of files problem. This app is too unstable. I've lost too much work using this app. If you do use it, make sure that you backup your work constantly.

I'm an avid user of Bluebeam on desktop. PC version is simply the best drawings application. I was really hoping that Bluebeam ipad team can write an app that matches the desktop. Unfortunately no. The app has good set of tools to markup and even measure the drawings, so I do not think there is an issue with functionality of the app. But the rendering speed is a real liability for this app. It is slow and I mean sloo...oow. it take 5-10 seconds to render the page then another 5 if you zoom in or pan - it's just unusable! I'm using Plangrid on ipad and it shows me that instantaneous rendering of big heavy PDF plans is possible! As much as I want to have seamless connection between PC Bluebeam and ipad Bluebeam, I can't due to speed issue. If somebody from Bluebeam would read this review - please talk to you boss and hire somebody from Plangrid - it would be great investment for your ipad future!

I tired to use this app but I found all the tiny buttons to be confusing and overwhelming. The features are good, but the usability is lacking.

I would love to rate this application 5 stars, I use it daily but I have a huge issue with it, it crashes way too often! So I started saving my mark ups on PDFs I was currently working on, what do you think happens?! It crashes, well good thing I saved the file to not lose any markups right!? Wrong!!! The PDF file is render invalid out of the blue, very frustrating :( I loved the app and I love how they added the option to scale just like desktop, but the app needs vast improvement in stability and accuracy, I would even pay $20 for it if they fixed all the problems and constantly added new tools and so on. I daily keep an eye on the App Store to see an update, like I said before I would gladly pay again for it if these things get corrected ASAP! Please listen to us the consumer and users, regards from the field!

Markup and tool selection is buggy with about a 30 second delay. Response time is so slow!!

Crashes when trying to open layered PDF,s. Disappointing.

Okay, I have spent too much time on this BUT, I have found a fix to the problems I was encountering and replicating regularly. While this application is the most full featured markup for PDFs, especially for those in the construction/building/design industry, the app gets flaky and unstable after heavy use. For those frustrated, try the following: backup all Bluebeam files. Delete the app. Reinstall app and then restore the files to Bluebeam. I used iExplore or something similar. What Bluebeam doesn't explain to you is that every time you open a file from mail or Dropbox or another app, a copy is saved into a "hidden" or unseen folder called "Inbox" in the app. I had over 880mb of data in this folder. No wonder the app crashed every time I tried to multitask or import a file from Dropbox. I deleted the files in this "Inbox" folder when I reinstalled the app and restored all files. In other words, I did not restore the inbox folder. Voilà, it works...with exception to,opening files from Dropbox (big disappointment). I still believe the interface/navigation of the app to change pen sizes, colors transparencies, extraction of sheets (hey at least the app can do it,even if only by email) etc., could be improved, but the feature set is unmatched.

I had thought that this app would be as good as the software, however after purchasing a new iPad due to the fact I thought my old iPad was the issue, I am reluctant to say that it is not the iPads problem. I had created an entire presentation at my job to showcase an idea around the Blue beam suite and will not be able to implement the concept. This is unfortunate at best. Let it be known this is a review of the app ONLY blue beam as a software in a desktop environment continues to amaze and revolutionize the CAD industry. Let us hope this potentially functional app will follow in its footsteps.

I use this program constantly at work, easily saving 30 minutes a day over the other guys PDF markup. Most of the time he iPad version works fine, but some days it crashes constantly. Today, that meant losing an hour of on site markup work. Is anybody reading the crash reports at I dutifully send?

Bluebeam is a superpowered desktop app, that's invaluable for our office money-handlers, but there is no way I can take this to the field to get work done. It's way too complicated, difficult to navigate between all my drawings, and doesn't give me the realtime annotating that their videos make look so easy. Nope... This is not the solution for me.

I go to search and type keyword and as soon as it loads all keywords relating to page it crashes. Please fix! This is happening on my iPad! It is the only platform I work off of as I work in the field. I hope you can fix these issues for the iPad. It's a great app, it just needs fine tuning!

This app could be a game changer, but it doesn't support the Apple Pencil, or is fully compatible with the large iPad Pro. Constant crashing with large drawing sets is frustrating. It seems it has trouble with PDF files over 30 megs. The PC version doesn't have these issues with the same files.

Have had this app for about a month now , in that time the app has frozen way too many times and each time left me in bind , have to keep restarting the app to get it back running and then I get blank pages which makes it extremely difficult to finish my annotations ,really annoying .im currently looking for a more stable non bluebeam app

I agree with the other reviewers. I have been able to find "work arounds" for most of the problems, but you shouldn't have to do this. The feature set is really comprehensive for a mobile app, but the stability issues cause the rating to drop.

Please update screen to fit new iPads. Black is seen on both sides of screen.

This is a bummed down version adapted for iPad use and for me as a markup tool it works great and is very useful. I get an occasional crash but its not something I cant deal with.

Incredibly hard to use when it crashes ALL THE TIME!!! I can’t believe how much they charge for this app when is so useless. Feels like a beta version.

This was great for a short time then it just started crashing every time I open a session. Please help...

I have tried both local and Studio session PDFs and have the same issue arise. I have a Surface Book with a full version of Bluebeam on it and never had an issue. Recently just purchased and iPad Pro 2017 with iOS 12 on it with the hopeful expectation of using the Revu app with a similar if not better experience, and am very disappointed. Will be contacting developer once the holiday has passed to see if I can get this to work. Otherwise I have a very expensive, limited markup capable device.

I use Bluebeam at the office and I just needed something that could measure my construction drawings. Works flawlessly. It has not crashed yet. I just email the plans to myself and click the box in the top right corner and click on the bluebeam app. Boom I open my pdf drawings and measure away.

Just not a good piece of software. Half the “features” cause the app to crash immediately. Don’t buy.

Painfully slow on any pdfs of a decent size. I downloaded for my 2017 iPad Pro to be able to mark up PDFs of architectural plans. Anything short of a few pages the app locks up and makes the pen practically useless. Hopefully there is an update down the road making this app not a total waste of money.

In a critical thinking time of my project, and mandated by me company, and the app will not load. I've used Bluebeam since 2010, and recommended to many people. Maybe spend less time on your "aren't we great week, and fix your software? Very disgruntled user.

Throw out all the code from the mobile version and start over. I agree with the other reviewer comments.

Every time I try to open a studio session the app crashes. I want my money back

PDF content is missing or not showing up when emailed. Huge issue as this is what the app was downloaded for. App is basically useless until fixed.

It's a shame, because the desktop version is brilliant. Bluebeam really leaving the apple community behind. The Mac OS version is the same garbage.

It does not support the higher resolution of the iPad Pro so screen real estate is very constrained and graphics are blocky. Also app is unacceptably slow, especially when pulling from the cloud or Bluebeam studio. Mark up tools and GUI are not intuitive, and is inefficient.

Need to update to support Apple Pencil with palm rejection.

The app is not like the PC version. It doesn't even have an erase tool. Connection to studio drops all the time, cause inflammation the file to close. If try to mark up, it stops to process the markup before it shows it. Makes it very difficult to draw on the pdf's. many other bugs and inadequate features. Another bad one, when opening an existing document with markups, it shows the markups on the wrong pages. It somehow moves all the markups in the document to different page. Totally useless app.

This is real sad Bluebeam doesnt seem to get the basics to work. Consistently crashes upon loading files from the Bluebeam Studio and files often open a blank pages: never rendering or giving you the option to close the file. If you want to mark-up a drawing in the field, print it out on paper like the old days as this is not the answer.

I just updated to the IOS 11 and I’m unable to use the scale feature. Every time I click on the scale my screen turns solid blue. If I drag my pencil across, it will pull a measurement but I can’t see my plans while doing it. Please help! Other than that, yes it will crash from time to time, but overall I really love this app. I think people are way too critical when it comes to reviewing an app.

If it worked, it would have been a great app to use. It crashes all the time, it doesn't send emails. And now, it lost the contents of my file that I worked on for a month. I saved it every time, but lost it all. Very sad...

The app constantly crashes when I try to open a studio session, so now I cannot do the work I need to. It creates duplicate folders and puts my synced files in there instead of where they should be. I can only access these files from Bluebeam. This is not how it should be. I like many of the features available in the app, but if I can't open up the file(s) needed then what is the point? Do they even care? I would LOVE a reply to this to show they actually view these feedbacks and care about the customers.

The screen feels very clunky, not sized appropriately for the 12.9" iPad Pro. Bluebeam is used almost exclusively in engineering field, and the lack of OneDrive support is frustrating, as every company has office 365 accounts. Giving it one star due to the screen resolution, and extra steps that must be taken to get documents through online services that enterprise level companies do not use.

Since updating this app, I can't even open the app without it crashing. It crashed a lot before, but now it is useless.

The app does not open anymore. It crashes right at the loading screen.

Absolutely love the desktop version but this app is clunky, feels dated already, poor software support for use of the Apple Pencil, picks up every little touch of the hand whilst I'm writing mark ups. Disappointed to say the least when the desktop version is so good. I'm a huge user and would love to see some major improvement on usability, versatility, interface and function ASAP.

Save a document as another name, deleted pages from that save-as file, saved it, and the pages I deleted reappear and the pages I kept are gone...

Slower response with apple pencil than other apps and no palm recognition. Bluebeam studio availibility is neat

Can't get pass the opening page! !

Bluebeam is a great program and I love the desktop version. Unfortunately this app is not as stable and has caused loss of time. As an Architect I have been trying to use the program for punch list but it does not work as advertised. The program crashes when using it in the field, the punch list label subject appear to change subject but when it is brought into the desktop and a capture summary is created the program reverts back to the original subject. I hope Bluebeam fixes these issues soon, till then it is cumbersome and disappointing.

When is the annotation placement is gonna be fixed???? Since las update the annotations don't set where I want specially the dimension scale annotations when try to set them down on a specific place and release the finger it moves up or down or sideways from the area i try to place it! so I just to love this app but now don't help me as much as it just to do it! I exchange emails with a support guy and said "it was a KNOWN issue with the placement of annotations" and the development teem was working on it... that was a month ago...

New version is seriously flawed, no longer able to open app without it crashing. Fix needed now!

So I love Bluebeam. Use the full version on my PC at work and love having this app on the go. here's the problem. It's glitchy now, Pages disappear and don't come back unless I restart the app. This is constantly. The app is not formatted for IPad Pro. The app used to be incredibly fast in processing pdfs, but now it is lagging. Markups don't use the fantastic features of the pencil. A good well rounded update is desperately needed.

Please add the ability to add and remove control points/pivot pints so we can add/subtract angle points as need during linear measurements and edit SF takeoffs. THe PC version allows you to do this so easy. Please make it so we can do this on iPad. Once we can add/remove these points, I will make it a better program for taking measurments in the field. Right now, if we miss one point, we have to start all over rather than just add one. Please please please fix. I emailed once already and clearly it never went anywhere. Also, fix crashing and bugs. Constantly saying I have low memory when I'm using my iPad Air 2. My buddy says same thing happens with his iPad pro. Fix the bugs, add the control point editing, and make this program run smooth. WE ALL PAID HARD EARNED MONEY. I EXPECT IT TO HELP COMPLIMENT YOUR PC PROGRAM NOT MAKE ME NOT WANT TO USE IT AT ALL!!!!!!!!!!

Interface takes too much of the screen real-estate. Does not use full iPad Pro keyboard interface.

Please add support for OneDrive.

Used it for several months now and I like the app. I’m a lead journeymen plumber and use it in the field to review plans, measure, markup, and communicate changes to the project manager and GC. Money well spent.

This program can’t be beat on PC. Mobile version is good, but has few bugs. I had lots of crashing problems. I found if I used the original files I had no crashing problems. If I tried to reduce file size to save on data across multiple devices, the crashing issues would appear. I tried adobe, Fox it, ect, and none are as easy to use as bluebeam in my opinion, although they could read the reduced size files, but with loss of bookmarks, and measuring ability. I like the field guys to be able to easily measure/scale, and have bookmarked files. Those features aren’t available on other devices. If I didn’t have the crashing bug this app would have gotten 5 stars. Use original file, crashing is drastically reduced.

This app crashes when trying to work with large pdf’s. When I download them off of the studio and then start trying to flip through pages it freezes and crashes.

Bluebeam has a great desktop app, but the mobile version is severely lacking. For one the Apple pen integration is weak. Other pdf editors have updated their software to support the pen. Also, it is slow and tends to crash if actually using the tools provided.
