It doesn’t work.
I’m serious. It just doesn’t work. Connect to bluebeam server, then ten seconds later it disconnects because “connection lost”. Can’t even download one pdf. Before you ask, I’m on fiber with 170mbit download.
United StatesWorks for me
I use this free app in conjunction with the extreme version for desktop as a heavy civil PM. I haven’t had any problems with the app for the last 5 years, but that’s just me. All I use (or need) is the search, bookmarks, page view, and the ability to see my desktop markups. Saves me from carrying 7 sets of plans and specs everywhere everyday. I wish I could sync with the desktop app instead of having to use the cable and overwrite the files manually, but oh well. Seems like every other app or program we use requires a super secret propriety account annual subscription needing internet and IT everywhere you go… I’m glad this app just flat out works.
United StatesNeeds Updating
Works fine for viewing PDF’s but the interface is really clunky and looks like it was made for the first iPhone with its old icons. A major overhaul would be much appreciated, I’m sure they would get a lot more users.
United StatesNot as bad as everyone says - still needs a lot of improvement
This app works pretty okay, in terms of making light markups on iPad. That being said i think it needs some basic overhauls. Firstly, there’s no way to create a new blank PDF document this would be incredibly handy for making a simple sketch, but is completely absent. Secondly, going off my first comment there’s no way to add to or modify session/ project documents it appears you can only contribute via markups. Thirdly, the Apple Pencil double touch settings don’t appear to work and there’s no setting to incorporate it, and the markup tools need more of the desktop support/ functionality like editing text & other document editing features available on desktop. I think if these could be incorporated into this app it would be significantly better app in terms of usability and functionality.
United StatesVaporware at this Point
It is no longer being updated or supported by Bluebeam. Doesn’t offer access to many of iOS new features and still runs like it’s on a early 2010s iPad.
United States2022 memory issues
I see people have been reporting memory issues for years and I’m just here to say that in late 2022 the app still has frequent crashes due to “low memory”.
United StatesStrongly Dislike App
When using this strongly disliked app everyday for work to make a living, it crashes and tells me that I don’t have enough memory as well. Which is not the case because I have plenty. Gets very discouraging to use because I know in a matter of minutes that I will have to do everything all over again and again and again and again. Take the time to read our reviews and make your product / app better because guys like me use this app daily to make a living and you are making it difficult to do so.
