Highlighting broken!!!

I downloaded the Logos for iPad update today (29-Feb-2024) (note: I stupidly did this in the middle of a week long intensive seminary course).

Now I can no longer highlight text on the iPad... well, I can, but choosing a word or two is almost impossible. Logos selected the whole verse and I have to manually drag the ends of the selection to the word(s) I want to highlight. Undoing the highlight is even worse (I've actually switch to my laptop to undo highlights because I can actually do it there)

Is anyone else having problems with this? Is there a way to roll back the update???

HELP!!!!!

Press and hold = one word

Press and hold then drag = make a selection

Well, yes and no...

Works for initial highlighting, but not for choosing already highlighted text...

Yes, you can select the highlighted section from the popup menu but that's a real PAIN compared to the way it was working...

It worked the way it was... why change it to something so kludgy and unintuitive...

This update stinks!!!!

Do you know how to do a rollback?

Do you know how to do a rollback?

If you are on android, someone might be able to help. If you are on iOS, you don't have that option.

Don't think the option is available in Android either.

It’s my understanding that it’s Not officially supported, but possible. (Through side loading)

Same here on iPad. I use highlighting and Notes daily. Also noted that I cannot change the highlight color as before.

Please change it back to the funtionality pre-update.

You can read more about the new touch gestures here and vote for a change in the single-tap gesture here.

(I'm only providing info; I like the current single-tap behavior and would prefer if Logos creates a new solution for the problem discussed here instead of reverting to the past behavior 🤐)

Agree.

When was on my iphone, I was happy to see the change. But updating my ipad mini, it was still the old way ... what?! Then, I realized the mini is on an older ios.

Waiting for the new mini.

Well…now that I know how to use the new highlighting features, it works fine for my needs. I didn’t get the memo on the new feature set and mistakenly thought it was broken rather than changed.

It's a nightmare. It's literally destroyed the way I've always worked in the app. As for support, they don't even bother responding. 😥
