Graphisoft’s BIMx is an interactive app for exploring BIM projects and linked documentation sets created in Archicad, MEP Designer, and DDScad. Please download to visualize or collaborate on architectural design projects on your mobile device(s). BIMx offers professional building visualization with game-like navigation to explore and visualize architectural projects. BIMx features the ‘BIMx hyper-model’ – allowing non-design professionals to explore and fully understand architectural design intent, view project deliverables, and access element-level BIM data. BIMx links the 3D model with the relevant 2D documentation layouts, providing a seamless way to view the 3D cutaway model in the context of a 2D layout — and vice versa. BIMx connects the construction site with the architect’s office for streamlined collaboration. Real-time model cut-throughs, in-context measuring, and project markups in the model context make BIMx your best on-site BIM companion. Drive the design narrative on the building site for fast, specific client feedback.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: BIMx at 4.0 against OneScreen Hype's 2.8. BIMx also leads on ratings volume (167 vs 9). OneScreen Hype's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 60%) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

BIMx holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BIMx has 167 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of BIMx's written reviews are positive against 100% of OneScreen Hype's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

BIMx ships an update every 5 weeks, OneScreen Hype every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
