How to use projectwise on an iPad?

What's the best way to use projectwise on an iPad? I can't see an app for it.

I'm using projectwise web view on an iPad web browser, but viewing PDFs and documents doesn't work too well. When selecting a PDF, it opens a new tab, but presents an error message. I can open the PDF in a different way by ticking the box and selecting the download button, which opens the PDF, but not in a new tab. This makes it awkward to open multiple PDFs.

    Bentley used to have a ProjectWise app in the app store but it's been removed. No idea why. But I notice most of the apps they have in the app store haven't been updated in 2-4 years. Hopefully they're working on new versions.

    I think Bentley has 2 web (well 3 if you count the ancient web server) methods for accessing PW files. 

    ProjectWise Web View (bentley.com)

    ProjectWise Web (bentley.com)

    (These names are not confusing at all). When I use the ProjectWise Web and go to a PDF there is a ... next to the filename and one of the options is PDF review. This opens a PDF markup tool in the same window. I only tested it with a basic sheet but it seems ok? It also opened the PDF viewer if I tapped on the file icon. (Not that tapping with accuracy is possible with this interface.)

    I hope Bentley makes some kind of statement about this. I'm also hoping if they write a new app they write it so it works on M1 Macs as well.
