Bluebeam Revu for iPad

Tools and features very limited based on what you can do on the desktop version. Poly length measuring is not possible on iPad. A great feature would be able to mark up on pdf with Apple Pencil then automatically converts from handwriting to text. Being able to customise sequence tool set would be good to.

Every engineer has OneDrive and uses Bluebeam. Why are they not able to be linked. Fix this and you open a whole new world of usability. Please and thank you.

I can’t add local files, nor join to my Australian sessions, nor add files via One Drive so it’s impossible to work with my work files.

New iPad Pro and pencil. Just doesn’t work. Waste of time. Big delay with key strokes and does not incorporate palm rest without interference. Plenty of free alternatives out there which are far superior.

This app seems to only work for US server. There is no option to select region such as Australia like the desktop version. Can you please make other regions accessible?

This app does not recognise the password attached to the account it also not syncing up with studio is very problematic. Don’t go near this app

In comparison to using the desktop application, this app doesn’t have near enough features so that you can continue a workflow with an iPad. Editing the markups by double tapping only works some of the time which leaves me with no option but to carry my laptop around site. Bluebeam needs to get more serious about investing into better cross platform capabilities like adobe does.

We have a custom status list we use as part of our drawing checking process. Works ok in the desktop apps, however cant be seen in the iPad app. Very frustrating as it’s a vital part of our workflow. Bluebeam need to focus more resources on developing this app, I would gladly pay more if they were keeping the app up to date and fixing issues when users submit support requests

If only this mimic’ed the full version and had proper development rather than current lift support

Waste of money. I purchased this app to use for engineering markups for work (engineering consultancy) - would not recommend with the current iPad app version. I use the industry leading desktop app almost daily and found this iPad app interface clunky. I had to refer to the user manual to work out a fair bit of the interface and what the buttons were. I would suggest an in-app tutorial be made available on first use, or allow the user to do this later. I played around for hours and got somewhat more accustomed to using it but it wasn’t as user friendly as most iPad apps. In hindsight the first thing I should have tested was red pen markups - these lagged behind even me writing slowly and would leave gaps which is completely unreliable and useless. I setup Studio Projects and Sessions and these worked ok between the desktop and iPad app, but again were a bit clunky to use on the iPad - the check-in and check-out process wasn’t very seamless and if I checked out on the iPad I could open on the desktop app and it wouldn’t advise it had already been checked out. This resulted in prompt saying there was a newer version, did you want to not save changes or overwrite the latest (from the ipad app). I would not trust working in a team environment between desktop and ipad apps, I feel like work would be lost / overwritten. I hope Bluebeam will take this feedback into account in future updates, but for now I won’t be using this. I’ve decide to use just a simple PDF markup app that connects to my OneDrive files instead (but this doesn’t allow for team collaboration).
