Bluebeam Cloud

Rolled out across our company heated 20 years for this amazing

Very slow and practically unusable on site. Big waste of money

Try to add a markup to a drawing but all it does is pan around the sheet when I tap/drag. No markups get added.

One of the worst construction softwares I have ever used. Completely unreliable. - takes ages to upload drawings - freezes when opening drawings - no markup tools - with perfect service and connection will not open drawings Desktop app is amazing but this it total trash. Can’t count the amount of times i have drawings uploaded and ready for site visits. Only for it to not allow me to view any drawings and just freeze up.

Bluebeam Cloud, used on a computer, is great. You can create projects, upload and share drawings, upload and share documents, create submittal logs, generate RFI’s, and create punch list items. However, when you upload items under the documents tab they aren’t accessible from the iOS app. It appears that the only functions available from the iOS app are the drawings, submittal log, and punch list. Adding a function to the iOS app to allow you to access the items uploaded under the documents tab would make this a much better app. I’m not sure why this is. You can use a browser on your iPad to log into the cloud and access the items under the documents tab but the markup features for the drawings, the RFI’s, and punch list all work better from the app. So your stuck using the browser half the time to access documents and using the app to generate markups on drawings, create RFI’s, and punch list items the other half of time. Hopefully they allow access to the documents through the app in a future roll out. It would change my rating for the app to 5 stars. Also, it would be nice to be able to attach/upload the actual submittal document to the corresponding entry in the submittal log so that it could be viewed from there. This app has potential but needs some work.

Latest update does not allow the opening of several drawings. Each time they are opened, it crashes on the app but online on the computer the dwg can be opened. There are several “punch” items that on the computer show up as shapes with not comments yet they cannot be deleted so not sure if that is causing the crash. Happens on several sheets in a session.

This would be an outstanding app if there was Apple Pencil mechanics. Other than that, using BlueBeam Cloud as a workflow solution could be a real consideration. Ability to mark up PDFs on the app is definitely there; setting up is just a little convoluted.

As other users have written. Why in the world would you not have a feature to see what we have spent years programming; our projects? I login to this and only ever see a blank screen. You can’t do anything mobile at all. Please just allow us to communicate with our studio project ALREADY IN THE CLOUD!

This would be a great little tool for the things it does, IF IT WORKED! For several months now there has been a bug in the app that will not allow Admin users to do Admin things. Bluebeam support has been responsive, but has not offered any help for this problem. How can they just ignore such a crippling problem for so long? Avoid Bluebeam Cloud. Do not use it!

But no more. With the changes to the support of devices like iPad and other OS, it might be time to consider other options. Such as Procore. Time will tell.
