Why isn’t this better?

Buggy, not responsive when using the Apple Pencil, opening files is super annoying…. Do better Revu

Better than the New Bluebeam Cloud App!

I am not opposed to the new bluebeam cloud app, but please, add the features from this app to the new one. In the new one I can’t use toolbars, I can’t integrate images into symbols, I can’t have multiple pdf’s open at the same time. Please Please Please, include these features in the new app! It will completely ruin my surveying process int he field.

Great App, but new cloud is the worst!!!

This app has been critical for everything I’ve done in construction for the last 6 to 7 years. I have no idea what the low reviews are about, but I don’t know what I’m gonna do now that they are cancellation of iOS.

DO NOT SUBSCRIBE! New cloud app is worthless!!!!

Way better than Bluebeam Cloud

I am baffled that Bluebeam is discontinuing Revu for iPad, replacing it with an extremely dumbed down version, Cloud, which apparently isn’t even a finished product reading the replies. Revu for iPad gives you most of the capabilities of the desktop version and works great in the field, and it has bookmarks! Something the Bluebeam team probably thought was useless and omitted in Cloud.

Don’t download

I just bought this for $10 on my iPad and as soon a I opened the app there is a message that they are removing it from the App Store at the end of the year. Why are you still selling it?

Lacks support

While great it still not usable. The lack of onedrive or googledrive is a massive disservice

Great App- super disappointed

This app has been critical for everything I’ve done in construction for the last 6 to 7 years. I have no idea what the low reviews are about, but I don’t know what I’m gonna do now that they are cancellation of iOS.

Do not get rid of

I’ve been using this app for 5 years as an electrician forman on multiple projects, I use this app everyday. Got a notification this morning that after December 31, 2025 the app will no longer be available. New is Bluebeam Cloud.. installed and can’t even get prints to load onto it. Please keep on the App Store.

One of the best apps on the market PLEASE KEEP SUPPORTING THIS APP!!!!!

This really is one of the best app out there. I have been using this app for over 5 years. I use it daily to modify existing plans, mark up and create as built drawings. You can also import pictures with the help of Microsoft lens. This allows you to make layout drawings with measurements from pictures. 10$ really is a small price to pay for this app. This app doesn’t rely on a Bluebeam account like the new one does. You can import pdf files from just about anything. Once you get the hang of it I think you will agree.

Response from developer

Thanks so much for your thoughtful feedback and longtime support. Revu for iPad has been a powerful tool, and we know many users like you rely on its flexibility. We're working hard to bring those same capabilities—and more—to our new Bluebeam iOS and Android apps while supporting modern devices and workflows.

DO NOT BUY

When I opened the app right after I purchased this app for $10, I got a notification that it will soon be leaving the app store entirely and to download the free bluebeam cloud app. Save your money!!

Lost opportunity to improve this tool?

Sad to hear the iPad app is going to be discontinued. The cloud does not replace the need for an app like this for quick review and markups when onsite or on the fly. If receive an email or airdrop with a pdf, how is it efficient to have to create and upload as a studio project? Bluebeam, please invest in this app! If it goes away, I’ll keep our full office seats but will migrate away from Bluebeam on our mobile devices.

Love the app…disappointed no longer being supported

This has been a great app. I use in the field daily and it has become a very powerful tool for viewing and marking up plans. It is very disappointing that you are discontinuing updates on this app before getting your new app full functional. How long will this update continue to function before no longer useable? I have logged in using cloud and it is only a pdf viewer at this point. Not much help in the field. So disappointed with Cloud.

Just Don’t

The worst money I’ve ever spent on an app… Can’t believe Bluebeam can’t do better than this

3.10.17 version works!!!!

After being unable to use bluebeam for months finally the update fixed the issue and now I’m back fully using the app in my ipad

Nooooo!! Don’t make it the last update

Bro, I use this over every other construction app, this is just a suggestion, but stick with it make it better, I love this app I do all my measurements off it and there always dead on when my mechanics double check me and I’m rite with the app an there wrong with the tape lol It has the potential and the cost is rite, it’s complex and easy to learn that has a wide range of configurations, it’s a great base for someone that has the time to invest in the app. If you don’t but you’ve done a great job on it, keep up the good work a tad bit longer, Duct guy here just an fyi… but could you do me a solid and fix the tap and snap a pic on location , seems to be bugged I’m on iOS the newest version and newest iPad Pro, great job on the app though and sticking it out this long…

Thanks so much for the love—it means a lot. Revu for iPad is built on older tech, which can cause issues on newer iPads like yours. That’s exactly why we’re building what comes next: Bluebeam Cloud for iOS. While it doesn’t have every feature as Revu for iPad yet, we’re adding support for local file access, markups, and—soon—tools like measurements and tool sets. We’re not rebuilding the same app—we’re building the one that comes after it, designed to grow with the way you work from the field. Let us know what matters most at community.bluebeam.com.

Missing functionality

I use the desktop version and it’s awesome. However adobe acrobat is far superior. There is no ability to open files from iCloud or OneDrive or even from the iPad itself. Seems like a basic function for a PDF editor. I shouldn’t have to use regular cloud or studio to access files I have on my device. Adding this one function alone would raise it to 3 stars. I want a refund.

Constant crashes

This app crashes at a rate that makes it unusable. Figure it out Bluebeam. Otherwise remove yourself from the AppStore and stop taking our money for an app that fails to uphold basic functionality.

So many errors

Just bought it, brand new iPad Pro. Errors coming up when trying to make an account. Restarted the app and it let me in. Now it says my iPad is low on memory which is not true. Feels very 2010.

Avoid. Nothing even close to pc version

I didn’t expect much from this app, but was hoping to do markups and quick take offs in field.

You can’t open local files saved on iPad
No integration with onedrive, only Dropbox and that still questionable
UI/UX is a joke.

Very Limited

Tools and features very limited based on what you can do on the desktop version. Poly length measuring is not possible on iPad. A great feature would be able to mark up on pdf with Apple Pencil then automatically converts from handwriting to text. Being able to customise sequence tool set would be good to.
