What's New in Bluebeam

August 26, 2026

- Image Capture Snap a new photo or choose one from your library and attach it to a markup. View it as a thumbnail or full screen with zoom and pan, and remove it when you're done. Works fully offline and syncs automatically once you're back online. Captures created on mobile appear correctly in Revu's Markups List and Summary Reports. - Refreshed markup details panel History and comments are now consolidated into a single timeline, comments can be edited with one tap, and the panel's title bar shows just the markup type or subject for a cleaner view.

Glorified adobe

I’m genuinely curious. What was the point of this release? We have been being warned that there was going to be a switch for over a year, yet here we are, and there’s SO many basic features missing. The line tool is gone, I can’t hide the layers I created on the PC, I can’t edit my own mark-ups, and I can’t edit my line style. My field team is refusing to use BB since the app is gutted, so now I have to go pick up paper drawings to copy into the PC side like it’s 2002 all over again. I’m at a loss for words and looking to pull my subscription in favor of Drawboard PDF, or something of the like.

Trash app that doesn’t hold a candle to other markup tools

Was so excited to see this as an app after being an avid desktop revu user. This app is clunky and has less features than the screenshot tool. Absolutely pathetic, this could have sooo much potential with something like the Apple Pencil but apparently having features and tools that free pdf apps have is asking too much for an enterprise grade tool. Really disappointed in how barebones and uninspired this app is.

Bring Revu Back

I work on an iPad without data, so I regularly sync my iPad while on WiFi to ensure I have the latest drawings, RFI, submittals, etc. This wasn’t an issue with the Revu app, however, the new app constantly logs me out, and every time I have to log back in, I have to re “download” everything, it won’t even store the last set I synced locally. This is a huge issue because it takes 3+ hours to download all this information on a project of my size. Jealous of all my coworkers who still have Revu on their iPads because it’s now basically worthless since it’s unreliable.

Bring back the old version

I’ve tried using this version of the app many times, thinking “maybe this time it will be better.” It has not. Please bring back the old version of the app or put some serious effort into making this app usable. Bluebeam for PC is THE STANDARD for the construction industry but this app is dragging that reputation down.

Get a different app

I have been a Bluebeam junkie for years, however this app is terrible. Might be good for children needing a PDF viewer that can make clouds and lines. But it barely does that. Don’t buy.
