Bluebeam on iPad

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Revu for iPad had its faults, but the features that include importing toolkits, and capturing images associated with a markup are essential to the way my team operates and completes field audits.

It is my understanding that Revu for iPad is being discontinued in favor of the Bluebeam Cloud app. The Bluebeam cloud app feels like a lite version of Revu for iPad and loses half the functionality that is useful in the field.

I love Bluebeam but we are in the field a lot, and these updates/lack of functionality are forcing me to look into other options. Is there a plan to add features of Revu to Bluebeam Cloud?

Hi @lyds ipad ,

Thanks for your feedback. We hear you! Back in March, we shared a short update about the future of Bluebeam Cloud on mobile.

Our goal is to bring the same field workflows you rely on in Revu for iPad into the Bluebeam Cloud app. The timelines are different, but by the end of this year, you can expect:

Reliable access to files (even offline), including Studio
PDF-standard markups, just like Revu
Toolsets synced from desktop to mobile
Measurement tools designed for mobile use

You can already capture and place images on drawings. Linking photos directly to markups is planned for early 2026.

If you still have Revu for iPad installed, it may continue to work - but we can’t guarantee support after 12/31/25.

Thanks Shawn. I appreciate it. Good to know its being worked on, we love BB and every time i pull up one of my walkthrough docs it impresses the people i show it to and they ask what software I use, and I would like to keep that streak. Thanks!

Edit/Unlock markups in Studio Sessions
Please add the ability to allow some users to edit/delete other peoples comments. This can be controlled through permissions. At our organisation when reviewing drawings there is a review manager that consolidates comments before sending them back. This process occurs regardless of if we are using Bluebeam or another tool.…
Add Folders for Studio Sessions!
Add folders for studio sessions to organize the list of recent Studio sessions. Some of our clients utilize one Studio session per deliverable on large projects that have multiple reviewers. It can be quite a task to find the one studio session for a smaller project amidst the rows and rows of studio sessions per…
Bullet points & Indent text
With more people using bluebeam as a CAD/drawing program. It would be nice if bullet points/numbers points with auto text indent was a feature.
Auto Save
It would be helpful to have an autosave function for PDFs being used in Revu. Currently this does not exist and would be very beneficial.
Numbered Lists and Bulleted List
This has been requested many many times in the past by many Revu users. WHY is there STILL no numbered/bulleted list function??
Alert attendee log
It would be great be able to see to whom and when the "alert attendee" has been done. Today you can see exactly who and when markups has been accepted but there are no info at all if a markup has been alerted to someone.
Keyboard Shortcuts for Assigning Statuses
It would be a huge time saver to have keyboard shortcuts for assigning markup statuses. Numerous workflows (e.g. QA/QC and design reviews, punch/back-check) involve multiple status changes for markups, and often times there are multiple statuses (or state models) to choose from. On large projects, with 100's if not 1,000's…
