Piece of trash
The stopped ReVue and put an app that has a fraction of the functionality.
I work in three letter agency buildings where everything has to be password protected. This doesn’t support password protected documents.
I need to fill out forms. This doesn’t support form fields.
Luckily I still have ReVue on my tablet but heavens forbid I need a new one.

This version is horrible and I hope the old version can continue as long as possible
Massive mistake
The older version is the product every single user expects and the reason Bluebeam is so successful. No one asked for a downgrade to a web based useless product. I will never upgrade and if the old version stops functioning you will have succeeded in destroying the best pdf platform ever made. Congratulations.

Horrible
How do you remove an app that had all the functions and release this garbage? Just read the reviews and you will know what everyone needs/wants. On the app you can’t even have the same tools. Where is the straight line? It only comes with the arrow line! How do you make a one line or as built with arrows?

File access is bad
Worse than the old Bluebeam app and it was bad for my workflow. Neither can access files in Dropbox. This new app has no “stamp options
Check-In issues
Biggest issue is that when I try to “Check-In” a file that I have checked out, it takes many many attempts to get it to check by in. So far, it’s only worked once successfully…
Compared to Revue
After using Revue for many years, this is not user friendly at all. Pity that Bluebeam decided for some odd reason to cancel Revue. I am out.
All i need is OCR and Search
I will give 5 stars if I can just search the sessions.
As others have said
So I won’t re-hash those points. The one thing I relied on every day in Revu was the search function. Now I’m firing up the laptop on dusty dirty sites to use that on desktop version.
This App is Terrible!
What happened to previous version???This new version reminds me of the basic windows paint that little kids use!
Terrible app to use on site
There’s no undo button, markups are super unresponsive. Editing and deleting takes multiple clicks. CANNOT mark a dot (as in decimal point ) with the pen tool.
Check in??
Unable to check in files. Asks to save but then no check in occurs.
DO NOT USE ON IOS OR ANDROID USELESS
Why bother if you can only look at projects and can’t edit? It’s not the real Bluebeam it’s a phoney and a scam. I can prove it.
go go go!
superb ios app for reviewing & basic notations ... somewhat limited on zoom control that limit detailed notes and drawing; but it works well as a reference.
Horrible app
The desktop app is amazing ease to use and very few areas that need improvement. This app on the other hand is basically useless. The tool set I use to mark (btx file) either don’t display properly or say they are not supported. It 2026 the digital and mobile revolution has occurred. I my opinion you should just not offer this option. The user experience is terrible. Don’t waste your time. Find another tool that actually lets you work without dragging your laptop everywhere.

New isn’t better
I paid $9.99 per app for the whole company 3 years ago and they get rid of the app that was just mediocre at best and replaced it with this child’s app that is even worse. Bluebeam needs to look at the new PDF apps out there. How can you be the leading PDF viewer for construction on computer but have the worst app for the field.

Award for Going Backwards
Someone at Bluebeam should get an award for “Best in screwing up an app and making it worse” Put some effort into your app. Your loosing customers to other alternatives. “Used by construction professionals”, only the ones behind a desk cuz ya can’t use this in the field. SAD!
New app but fewer features
Since Jan 1 Bluebeam has closed Bluebeam Revu and forced Bluebeam Cloud which has fewer tools, worse interface and harder to navigate. Revu wasn’t great and crashed frequently but this is worse. I can’t fathom why Bluebeam is doing this.
<update> I’m continuing to use this with the continued updates and it still disappoints. While the developer promises to improve I am struggling to keep working. I can’t open PDF attachments that were marked up in Bluebeam on desktop because Bluebeam Cloud considers it corrupt. I appreciate that features are being added but slowly and not just a handful of features Revu had. This is a significant deficiency in function now and I don’t know how long it will take to get back base line. I’m still very frustrated and disappointed with the way this transition has been implemented.
<update 2 - 2026.09.15>
I wish I had added dates to the original review and the previous update. Progress has been SLOW. The developer is quick to respond to reviews promising future progress. This progress is measured in years though. Functionality is barely moved the needle. I recently saw that I might be able to import custom tools for reviews and/or seals but each one I try errors. I don’t know why I keep coming back to give it another shot. If this update is seen by the developer, I appreciate the quick communication and response but you need to start delivering results much faster.

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.
