CANVAS IMPROVEMENTS - LIKE LIQUID TEXT, FREEFORM OR CONCEPTS - Pencil Bible
I am hoping to be uplifting and helpful. today I decided to purchase the bronze package because I was told that the Canvas function was what I was looking for. I had previously been working with several apps, my favorite was Liquid Text, followed by Concepts. I like to have an endless canvas for taking notes, importing pictures, drawing etc. the process I like to use is called mind mapping, if you search mind mapping sermon, and look at pictures you will see what I am speaking about.
After purchasing the package, I decided to open my app and take the Canvas feature for a spin. I looked at the setup and made some changes right away, like i made my canvas 300x300 inch since I am used to working with an endless canvas. I then tried to import a passage Ne 8:1-9:21, unfortunately it only gave me 13 verses, not 2 chapters.
I thought maybe I had done something wrong and tried several retries in different ways including using the text box at the bottom, but to no avail. I then called tech support who walked me through my issue, but never finished we got disconnected, called back and began again but after 20 min no avail again.
I like to use the functions in my current software for making multiple illustrations, including importing pictures to my sermon, the biggest issue was that I was unable to import any length, as well as import any pictures.
Let me say, I like several of the features, such as the multiple tabs at the bottom - very nice
Side bar function - nice
I realize that this is a product in progress however currently does not meet the needs that I need.
***Side Note: ***
I would be willing to pay for a on screen note writing function like the - Pencil Bible App easily $3 a month for the ability to use my apple pencil with my Bible like I do on the Pencil Bible.

This is a third-party product formerly known as DrawIO. Features available in the third party software but not implemented in Logos should be easily added. Enhancements to the base code are more problematic.
Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

Curios on your thoughts on the ability to take notes directly on the screen of the Bible like you would do an actual paper Bible.
Many people and pastors are using Pencil Bible app, I think I pay $3.99 per month for this app. I would be grateful to have the ability to do the same thing on LOGOS so that all of my notes etc. would all be in the same place.
I also think it would be a game changer as well as provide a large source of revenue to LOGOS.
Kind Regards

Draw.IO (Untitled Diagram - draw.io (diagrams.net)) does have more functionality than Canvas. It has a lot more shapes you can add, plus you can copy and paste a picture or object into Draw.io and resize it. I wish Canvas has the ability to paste an object into it. Any enhancements would be greatly appreciated!
I've had success using Canvas to create some nice Bible charts. You can see my Ecclesiastes Bible Chart in the Public folder if interested.
