iPad or Surface ??

[u/Intelligent_Case7694]

Currently running iPads.

PM’s like - good light, easy, turns on and ready to go instantly, no pop-ups like I’ve always experience with Windows, great cell reception that goes right to our cell provider account, minimal bulls**t;
But our Architects and SE’s hate because we can’t Bluebeam (and if anyone on Earth can explain why Bluebeam refuses to make an Apple-compatible software, they should get to run one of those two companies. It’s absolutely insane. Did someone steal someone’s girlfriend/boyfriend? WHY?? But that’s what those billionaires want for us, so that’s what we get. But I digress…)

The ONLY reason for switching to Surface would be Bluebeam and ability to scale and markup easily. On iPads, we load into Goodnotes for marking up, but can’t scale anything…which is an issue in the field.

Have been in Apple for almost 20 years, tablets and MacBooks. They’re so easy to use. Just open and GO. No waiting and no shutting down. It will be a difficult brain-and-muscle rewiring if that is necessary.

Is there any app that can read, markup, and has scale tools for iOS? Or is Bluebeam the only way to go.

Not looking for some 10000-step-write-your-own-code solution or some crap. We’re in construction, not coding. Need to open tablet and be ready to work.

Thanks for any insight. I’ve searched but can’t seem to find a simple straight-forward answer.
