How to get SketchUp on your iPhone or iPad

Can I use SketchUp on my iPhone or iPad with Apperture?
Yes — by streaming SketchUp from your Mac with Apperture. The desktop app runs on your Mac; your iPhone or iPad displays its window and sends remote input back. You need a reachable, awake Mac with SketchUp installed, the free Apperture Mac host, and the Apperture app on your iPhone or iPad.
SketchUp also has a native iPad app and a web edition. Apperture shows the Mac edition you already use; extension availability depends on what is installed there. SketchUp product information.
