### 5/5 — Не могу оторваться!!!

*2017-10-13, version 2017.2.1150*

Очень занятная штука.
2D оно и всё остальное прога читает.
Просто для этого функция; "сохранить как файл bimx " не пойдёт.
Там нужно опубликовать гипермодель(вроде так называется) и указать папку для публикации,после просто из той папки перекинуть файл в мобилу(можно даже во вложении по email).
Удачи всем и новых открытий !

### 5/5 — Goes without saying....

*2017-05-26, version 2017.1.788*

A tool that I cannot do without. To use and discuss with contractors, clients, engineers, quantity surveyors, etc. Absolutely indispensable!

### 5/5 — Excelente medio de comunicación

*2017-03-13, version 2017.1.663*

Una ampliación muy completa y de gran utilidad para mí. Me gustó mucho la opción de subir "fotos" 360° a Facebook, pero creo que sería muy útil poder subirlas directamente a la App "Páginas", para compartirlas como Negocio, y no solamente como persona.

### 5/5 — BIMx VR Walk Through 🚶🏼

*2017-02-02, version 2016.3.533*

Just used GraphiSoft's BIMx PRO having modelled a Penthouse Apartment in ArchiCAD.  
🤔 Absolutely fabulous. Highly recommend this well thought out + intuitive piece of kit. 
🤔 Used Google Cardboard for Walkthru.  Interesting to see the quality in resolution between Cardboard + a more professional expensive headset.  Thank you GraphiSoft ✅

### 5/5 — Excelente !

*2017-02-01, version 2016.3.533*

Ha sido una maravilla para mis clientes

### 5/5 — Simply Amazing!

*2016-06-24, version 2016.1.318*

This app is just the beginning of the amazing adventure into the design process of what I love the most...
Architecture. 
Best regards.

### 5/5 — Bimx PRO

*2016-06-02, version 2016.1.318*

Excelente aplicación para profesionistas en el ámbito del diseño y la construcción. Muy útil al momento de presentar un proyecto, pues ayuda al cliente a entender la volumetría del edificio y al constructor a poner énfasis en los detalles.
Personalmente la uso como libro de planos en la obra y para explicar detalles a los trabajadores.

### 5/5 — Best of BIM!

*2016-06-01, version 2016.1.318*

This is the B. E. S. T. virtual building application E. V. E. R.! - E. V. E. R.!!

### 4/5 — Ottimo

*2016-05-02, version 2016.1.227*

Veramente d'effetto e, soprattutto, molto utile per monitorare il lavoro in ogni sua parte. Funzionale!

### 3/5 — Arquitecto Usuario Archicad

*2016-03-15, version 15.4.164*

Parece muy atractiva la aplicación hasta el momento en donde queremos hacer una anotación. Se descubre que para enviar una simple anotación sobre lo que se visualiza, se debe contar con licencia “SSA” sin lo cual es imposible su uso. (un contrato de aproximadamente 7000 euros!!).
Hace dudar de las ventajas de este programa, y de las intenciones del desarrollador , que deja a los utilizadores como simples espectadores de bellas imágenes sin poder anotarlas ni comentarlas. Tampoco permite exportar imagen a otra aplicación en donde se pueda hacer dicha anotación. Mucho que mejorar en la lealtad con el utilizador.

### 4/5 — App incredibile

*2016-03-05, version 15.4.164*

App ena la istalli ti rendi conto del grande aiuto che puoi ottenere in cantiere e con i clienti.
Serve giusto un modo per prendere appunti, la possibilità di nascondere gli elementi (ad esempio dalla palette informazioni) la condivisione con altri monitor e/o Smart TV (implementando il protocollo dlna)  per renderla  perfetta.

### 5/5 — !

*2016-02-02, version 15.4.164*

Отличная программа, для тех кто понимает. НО! С меня сейчас повторно списали деньги! Хотя до этого я покупал уже версию Pro

### 5/5 — Excellent app, solves a huge problem

*2016-01-19, version 15.4.158*

Real timesaver & productivity booster, it's great to have all key documentation on site without carrying bulky paperwork. Highly recommended

### 1/5 — En avant vers le recul...

*2020-08-25, version 2020.2.2835*

Encore un développeur qui passe du côté obscur: adieu achat, bonjour location-esclavage...
Avec comme consolation, une icône morose, un nom d’enterrement et une misérable année gratuite. 
Nom seulement l’application remplaçante a un rendu visuel à la baisse (comparée à BIMX PRO), mais en plus la navigation et l’affichage sont saccadés !
Et tout ça présenté comme un « progrès »...
Aucun respect pour toutes les personnes qui ont acheté BIMX PRO.

Réponse au développeur :
Thank you for your “no answer”:
No answer about the fact that the app you bought once and for all, is now pay per year.
No, having to use a cloud to access our models, our work, is not an improvement. 
What about when no connection!?
And the partial and jerky display that this causes is really deplorable.
And for the “free” (because you wanted to make us pay for it !?) measurement tool, I’m sure it was the most important feature to upgrade...

François

### 1/5 — Useless

*2019-11-11, version 2019.2.2441*

This app is useless

### 1/5 — Con

*2018-06-23, version 2018.2.1616*

This app is for looking at buildings, not designing them!

### 2/5 — Intersting but very unstable!

*2019-01-26, version 2019.1.2053*

The tool has potential to be very useful. However, I uploaded a very simple model and with only a few views.  The app keeps crashing while navigating through the model, even on an iPad Pro with 256mb of RAM and running on Gigabit WiFi!

I hope Graphisoft makes this more stable very soon.  I could not use this in front of a client, as it works now.

### 2/5 — Very few tools in the pro version

*2019-01-10, version 2018.2.1935*

Bought the full pro app hoping that the measuring tool was better than it actually is a few features like snap on/ off would be handy. Expensive for what you get over the free viewer so not worth the cost in my opinion

Regards Tom

### 2/5 — 2d не читает!

*2014-09-30, version 3.1.6525*

2д не читает, только модель! Зря потратил деньги!

### 2/5 — upgrade issue

*2014-03-12, version 3.0.5510*

it seems you pay for every upgrade

### 2/5 — App stürzt auf iPad2 immer ab

*2014-01-07, version 3.0.5510*

Eigentlich ist das BIMx Hyper-Modell eine überzeugende Idee und die App gut gemacht. Auf dem iPhone 5 läuft auch alles tadellos. Leider nur nicht auf dem iPad 2. Beim Wechsel vom 3D-Modell zur Planzeichnung meldet sich die App ab und schließt sich komplett. Schade! Bitte nachbessern!

### 3/5 — Crashes on Google Cardboard launch

*2020-02-25, version 2020.1.2573*

The most recent iteration of the app (both pro and standard) crashes on Google Cardboard launch.

### 3/5 — Nächste Version kann noch besser werden

*2017-06-02, version 2017.1.788*

Absolut tolles Tool für Präsentationen, allerdings fehlen ein paar kleine Features... Wünschenswert wären beispielsweise Möglichkeiten, zumindest in den 2D Plänen Notizen / Anmerkungen einzufügen; in der derzeitigen Version kann man beim Kunden zwar Eindruck machen, allerdings seine Wünsche / Anregungen nicht  überzeugend aufnehmen. Auch der Datentransfer vom Rechner auf das i-pad ist nicht befriedigend gelöst. 
Die generelle Umsetzung ist toll, auch wenn es etwas zu stark auf Show ausgerichtet ist.
Technisch einwandfrei (mit ArchiCad).

### 5/5 — Работает!

*2025-07-21, version 2020.2.2835*

Работает на стареньком iPadе!

### 5/5 — Pease keep supporting this version

*2020-07-29, version 2020.2.2758*

The graphics in bimx pro are vastly superior to the new bimx or bimx lab. Please keep this around because the either versions are unusable.

### 5/5 — Excelente aplicación.

*2019-02-16, version 2019.1.2100*

Una aplicación muy útil.

### 5/5 — Excellent tool and presentation format!

*2018-10-28, version 2018.2.1844*

BIMx Pro is allowing me to present projects that I’ve designed to my clients in a way that is very powerful and impressive.
Each client can see their project in a way that is easy for them to understand, and they see me as an architect who employs cutting edge technology for their benefit.  For an upcoming discussion, I’ve put together a slide show using BIMx Pro to show them 3D views, plans, and sections - the preparation of which was much easier than I’d imagined.

### 5/5 — Helpful for Understanding

*2018-10-13, version 2018.2.1844*

Designing a home with Visbeen Architects of Grand Rapids Michigan.  Wayne’s creativity is brought to 3 dimensions by Matt, his BIMx team member, allowing for different viewing angles and distances, both inside and outside.  My wife and I understand our design and related choices much more deeply.  This will allow us to communicate more precisely with our builder and the subs.  Also, fun to dream.  BIMx is a powerful tool to deliver a better home.

### 5/5 — Great to view project - would be nice to have some edit features

*2018-07-15, version 2018.2.1616*

It is a very nice app. It is stable and gives beautiful presentations of projects.
It would be nice to have some edit features. Specially 
- annotations after client meetings or site visits ( add comment to elements with date, maybe pictures for reference to specific tile that the client would wish or issue on construction site)
- sketch over the model with apple pencil on ipad pro would be a very good productivity feature. E.g taking a screenshot and sketching over it or directly sketching in 2d and 3d.

### 5/5 — La mise à jour ultime pour des présentations vraiment Pro.

*2018-05-13, version 2018.2.1562*

Je pense que nous sommes nombreux à avoir attendu cette mise à jour qui permet de faire enfin des présentations digne de ce nom. En configurant à l’avance toutes ses vues, il est enfin possible de préparer sa présentation et surtout de laisser l’écran devant les yeux des Propriétaires. Archicad à enfin une application de présentation de projet à la hauteur. Merci.

### 5/5 — Indispensable

*2018-05-11, version 2018.2.1562*

Si te dedicas a la arquitectura es una aplicación indispensable

### 5/5 — Maillon BIM

*2018-04-18, version 2018.1.1349*

Cet outil porte l’information ARCHICAD source jusqu’au maître d’ouvrage, sans perte de charge. Il constitue ainsi le chaînon manquant de la filière BIM.
Sur chantier, il assure une présence de la maquette numérique du bureau, avec matériaux, côtes et descriptifs !

### 5/5 — El mejor programa

*2017-11-04, version 2017.2.1150*

De Gran ayuda al momento mostrar a nuestros clientes y en terreno durante construcción.
