Bluebeam Revu for iPad is gone. Here’s the workflow ScaleTap replaces.
Teams that relied on Revu for native iPad measurement and markup workflows now need a simpler replacement path. ScaleTap focuses on that core job: calibrate a plan, place linear measurements, mark up what matters, and export clean proof from iPad.
What former Revu-for-iPad users usually need next
For many field teams, the missing requirement is not “more collaboration.” It is a native iPad workflow for calibrated measurements and clean handoff.
Calibrated measurements
Teams need to set scale on the sheet they are looking at and place measurements without fighting the UI.
Offline-friendly work
Jobsite review often starts in poor connectivity, so open, measure, markup, and export need to work reliably on-device.
Apple Pencil-first input
Native Pencil interaction matters when you are measuring directly on drawings instead of clicking around a desktop-style UI.

Built for the field workflow that matters most
60-second workflow
Import a plan, calibrate scale, take measurements, and export results without forcing a heavy account or desktop-first setup.
Fraction-accurate
Measurements stay readable on plan sheets and fit the units construction teams already work in.
Half the price
ScaleTap is priced around a narrow job to be done: calibrated plan measurements and dependable exports on iPad.
