If you browse through the app store on adroid or itunes you are guaranteed to find hundreds of apps related to the AEC industry that sound interesting. The problem is, a lot of the apps are under developed, and in some cases, pointless to have on a mobile device.

The eagerly awaited Autodesk BIM 360 Glue iPad app has finally been released! The app appeared in the iTunes store yesterday morning and was officially released on Twitter via a statement from @Navisworks around 16:00 BST. Unless you've been living under a #BIMrock the past couple of months, you will have heard a lot about BIM 360 Glue, and the app release on iPad is an exciting development from the Autodesk team bringing the cloud based management system on to the site!. 

A fantastic new site launched at the end of last week, named AEC-APPS. This is a collaboration between CASE and SOM and is aimed at AEC professionals and students throughout the world. The concept of the site is to bring users together in a social environment to, add, review, and share AEC related apps that they use and find useful with other users on the site. The ranking system allows a good overview of each app, with every member getting the chance to have their say.
