Bluebeam discontinued Revu for iPad. Here's what replaced it.
Bluebeam killed Revu for iPad and replaced it with Bluebeam Cloud — a browser-based tool that dropped scale-based measurements, tool chests, and offline reliability. If your field team lost their workflow, ScaleTap was built to fill that gap.
What Bluebeam users lost on iPad
When Bluebeam discontinued Revu for iPad, field teams lost the core workflows they depended on daily:
Scale-based measurements
Revu let you calibrate scale and measure directly on plans. Bluebeam Cloud doesn't offer this on iPad.
Offline reliability
Revu worked without internet. Bluebeam Cloud is browser-based — no connection, no work.
Apple Pencil precision
Revu had native iPad support with Pencil. Cloud is a web app with touch compromises.

Built for what Bluebeam users actually do on-site
60-second workflow
Import a plan, calibrate scale, take measurements, export results. No training, no setup wizard, no cloud account.
Fraction-accurate
Results display in fractional inches (5' 3-1/2") — the format estimators and supers actually use.
Half the price
At $69.99/year, ScaleTap costs a fraction of a Bluebeam license — and it does the one thing field teams need most: fast measurements.
Switching from Bluebeam?
If your team relied on Bluebeam Revu for iPad measurements and lost that workflow when it was discontinued, ScaleTap gives you back the core: scale calibration, linear measurements, markup, and reliable exports — all native on iPad with Apple Pencil.
