Ratings and Reviews
Review feature actually removes features
Using the review feature doesn’t even allow the basic feature of adding a “issue”. even bim 360 trainers/autodesk videos state to create an issue with markups but if you do a workflow review, its not an option. Very limiting for the review process as issues are the way to track markups. Confusing why the best tool (issues) is removed from the review workflow.
Infuriatingly Broken
There are so many issues with this app that I can’t be bothered to list them all, but here are a few:
Constantly freezing/crashing, forcing reinstall action of the app and subsequent loss of any work that isn’t synced. Poor/inconsistent design that either doesn’t make sense, lacks basic features (like deleting unwanted photos from checklists), or should be basic app infrastructure in 2022 (portrait mode). Very slow performance, even when connected to high speed internet.
Finally: Absolutely atrocious offline functionality! Numerous elements/functions are either locked out or basically inoperable when offline when other apps have no issues downloading and accessing content when offline. The syncing is so buggy that you WILL lose huge chunks of any work done offline when you attempt to upload it. To make matters worse, when syncing it will flag “errors” but in the case of checklists it won’t actually identify them or allow you to do anything other than a mass “discard changes”, again causing the loss of work. Is this app not designed for construction projects? Construction sites are not typically known for their widespread Wi-Fi.
If this app weren’t mandated by GCs I wouldn’t touch it with a 10’ pole. Recommend staying far far away and pushing back hard against anyone recommending its use.
Awkward Punch Walk, Typing Blind
I (Arch) just used BIM360 for iPad on a punch walk, and man, that was the slowing and most awkward punch ever. GCs staring/waiting while I fiddled with a fiddly app. Biggest complaint: you can’t rotate the orientation! It’s all landscape mode, which may be nice for viewing plans but isn’t so nice for typing issues and seeing what you’re doing. The keyboard covers most of the screen; when you get to the “location description” field, the field is hidden behind the keyboard so you can’t even see what you’re typing. Other annoyances too, but if the app developers ever check these comments, that’s the one that really had me scratching my head. A basic functionality of any app is to be able to view the field you are typing in. Autodesk owns PlanGrid now, so maybe they’ll take some queues from their interface. I certainly hope so.
