Infuriatingly Broken
08/30/2022

PAR987
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
04/15/2021

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.

Drawings fail to load

Drawings always fail to load. I have them download to the device but if I’m connected to WiFi it will try to pull from cloud, no way to shut that feature off. Page will just sit there with the circle just spinning and won’t ever load. Even if I am not connected to WiFi downloaded drawings only open 25% of the time. Only way you can get drawings to load is to not have them downloaded and pull them from the cloud every time which told defeats the purpose of having them on your iPad. This way is also slow if you have linked RFIs, updates, etc to the page because it has to download those items as well.

Performance issues!

It is a nightmare to close out punch items, it constantly jumps to random dots issues, takes so long to load. Takes more than four hours to close out 100 items considering we’ve got 2500 items going to be like a month of doing this. I have to delete the app and reload it just to get it to work again it’s constantly crashing, when multiple people are working on it takes time to sync up so you can’t see where other people have been closing out issues. I’m to my wits end with this app.

• Added a selective sync feature to checklists to improve sync stability and reliability • Raised the minimum supported iOS from version 12 to version 15 • Bug fixes and improvements
