### 1/5 — Garbage

*2019-11-27, version 1.1.1*

If I can't get to a session forget about it.

### 1/5 — Huh

*2019-10-30, version 1.0.69*

Big fan of everything Bluebeam but not sure why this was released when drawings can’t be accessed.

### 1/5 — Blue Beam

*2019-09-25, version 1.0.69*

Doesn’t work, no directions nothing. Works fine on the computer but nothing works on the app.

### 1/5 — No drawings

*2019-09-08, version 1.0*

Same problem. No drawings show up when using the phone app.

### 1/5 — WTH

*2022-02-08, version 2.1.0*

Holy Zeus avocados in a pair sack.  Login for mobile and nothing is familiar and nothing is available. The mobile programmers are trash. Only option is to take you to a website with the demeaning “learn more”.  I’ve been using the Bluebeam program for years and years.  Just have a remotely similar, even just a trace of familiarity, and let us access our Bluebeam sessions via login.  

It’s like they have one programmer for the mobile and one for the pc, and never the two shall meet.

### 1/5 — Can’t open a studio project

*2021-10-25, version 2.1.0*

Can’t open a studio project

### 1/5 — Useless as a read-only tool

*2021-04-05, version 2.1.0*

Need proper Studio functionality.

### 1/5 — I simply doesn’t work

*2021-04-02, version 2.1.0*

The app doesn’t connect to sessions I’m already connected to. I tried opening drawings in the app and it did nothing. The app is a blank screen that can’t serve its primary purpose. Needs work!

### 1/5 — No Bluebeam Studio connection

*2021-03-04, version 2.0.11*

You are probably downloading this app so you can view your drawings/files posted to Bluebeam Studio. Stop now. This app is NOT designed to connect to Bluebeam Studio. It’s basically worthless unless you are the sole owner/publisher of drawings.

### 1/5 — PDF Viewer

*2020-09-30, version 2.0.11*

This is nothing but a viewer app. Bluebeam’s best feature is studio, which is really what I needed on a mobile device. Not sure what the advantage would be of this app over your phone’s default PDF app.

### 1/5 — Misrepresentation

*2020-09-22, version 2.0.11*

The pictures indicate Studio Session and Projects work. I logged in and it acted like it would. Support tried explaining how one is supposed to go through a publishing process and finally bluntly said it doesn’t work on a phone. That was a waste of time!

### 1/5 — Use Procore

*2020-08-19, version 2.0.11*

This app doesn’t come close to serving the access required for field use. If you’re in an office on one project and want to load a set of plans onto your phone so you can go see how a project is progressing this might be great. But as an inspector that monitors multiple commercial projects this app is utterly useless, which is unfortunate because the pc program is great and the iPad program is linked to blue beam so no issues accessing your various studios tied to your account. 

I wasn’t a fan of Procore at first and still prefer bluebeam’s pc layout but for ease of use in the field i would pick a Procore project everyday of the week. Ease of access is the most important factor with anything used in the field. This is an app for shiny hard hats and clean boot who don’t like Apple.

### 1/5 — Trash!

*2020-08-18, version 2.0.11*

It doesn't work, it doesn't even let me in and this is not the first time it has happened, at the company I work for we have had this problem on the iPad and the studio many times.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2019-12-26, version 2.0.1*

This doesn’t allow access to studio sessions.

### 5/5 — Works Fine

*2019-12-10, version 2.0.0*

Not sure why the negative reviews. Set up project in Studio. Downloaded app.  Logged in. Opened drawings. Just as advertised. Rocket surgery?  Nah. Operator issue...you decide.

### 5/5 — What is this supposed to do

*2019-08-29, version 1.0*

I downloaded the App, logged into my studio account, and the list to all my Studio Projects popped up. The only problem is the list shows that there are no drawings associated with any of my projects. 
There are no instructions, no “how to”, no help. Not sure what the point is.

### 3/5 — App is ok

*2020-03-06, version 2.0.6*

The app is ok, not great.  I expected there would be a way to upload drawings, specs, and RFI’s all to one location through Bluebeam but that is not the case.  I finally figured out how to get drawings uploaded but the information on the website is not very helpful.  I am using a lot of YouTube videos to figure out Bluebeam stuff.  Also, the biggest issue is that most of my hyperlinks disappear once the drawings are in the Drawings app.  Why is that?

### 3/5 — Need Maintenance on Bluebeam License

*2019-10-08, version 1.0.69*

You need the add-on Maintenance agreement on your License to get your uploads will show on the app.  This fact is not clear in any of the help menus or training videos.

### 2/5 — Needs work

*2020-07-14, version 2.0.10*

This might be the worst app I’ve used. I love Bluebeard but having to push drawings each time they are updated could cause major missed in information. Again, love Bluebeam just think this app needs to be an extension of studio. Pushing drawings can be a lot of time and effort when you have multiple projects going on.

Could almost be a full time job!

### 2/5 — No access to Bluebeam Session

*2020-06-04, version 2.0.9*

Although this is a great first step in having viewing capabilities on an iPhone, the app does not currently support BBS. Given almost all construction design is done collaboratively in Sessions, this would be a great feature to add.

### 2/5 — Drawings Missing

*2019-09-04, version 1.0*

The app say’s No drawings for any of my projects.
