Scrolling from with the app

I am probably overlooking this.

I am brand new to LOGOS. I am using it on a Microsoft Surface PRO 7. I am having a difficult time with scrolling. Does it not allow me to use the touch screen other than the scroll bar at the side?

Can I not use my finger or PEN to scroll the text etc?

While it's been requested, there's still no touch screen or pen support built into the app.

I have a Surface, and touch scrolling (dragging) works for me. I often use Logos without the keyboard, relying only on pen and touch (the pen is still necessary for certain things because it behaves more like a mouse). Dragging to scroll is sometimes a little laggy and unpredictable as far as speed, but otherwise works fairly well. I can't think of what might be causing it not to work for you if you...

Do you have Columns set to None to enable scrolling mode (rather than page turn mode)? Click the three dots at the top right of the resource for that setting...

Also, touch scrolling doesn't work in some places, like program settings...

I am sorry, I should have elaborated more. Scrolling on the home screen. It will scroll within like a bible or resource.

Yes, unfortunately the Home screen is one of those areas where touch scrolling doesn't work. I don't really use the Home screen, so it hasn't bothered me very much. In some places (like the Home screen), dragging with touch selects text but doesn't scroll. In other places, like resources, dragging with touch scrolls but doesn't let you select text (this is an example of where the pen is absolutely necessary!). Many of us using touch screens are hoping for more touch compatibility. It should be possible to both scroll and select text with touch - lots of other programs do it.
