  • @Robert Kelbe   You can already use apple pencil in canvas -- just send your canvas window to the ipad from your Mac.  Canvas will now be sitting on your ipad, and if you try drawing with the apple pencil, it will work!
  • There would probably be a lot of seminary students, particularly those who study Greek, who would be happy with this feature. Myself included, although my learning is self study.
  • Please!

    I haven’t been able to use Apple Pencil in my iPad app. I tried to find a setting to use it but don’t know what to do. I would love to be able to fully use the Apple Pencil to highlight and fingers to move the page or even pinch/zoom.

    I'm using my pencil more and more for notes, so full support would be great.

    I would actually use the mobile app a lot more if this were incorporated.

    The function of the Apple Pencil in Logos is spotty at best. It doesn’t feel natural to use. I agree with others that it is also inconsistent. I get frustrated when using the Apple Pencil while trying to take notes as it will often do things I don’t expect or intend. Of all the apps on my iPad Pro which use Apple Pencil, Logos is currently by far the worst at it. Please improve this. We need to be able to lay our palms on the screen to right naturally without that triggering or trying to trigger other functions inadvertently. I don’t want the page moving or opening up other features when I am trying to write notes or highlights. Further being able to quickly highlight, underline, and write on “book” pages without a lot of crazy steps is essential for this to be effective and useful. The Kindle App by Amazon while not perfect does an okay job with note taking using the Apple Pencil. It feels less awkward and cumbersome than Logos does currently.  Apps like Notability and Goodnotes, seem to do a better job than Logos at using Apple Pencil. I don’t want to see complex pop up menus unless absolutely necessary. A quick tap toolbar that can which can be activated in a book that interfaces with the pencil and allows for quick function changes between highlighting, drawing (free hand/scribble & geometric), underlining, etc would also be good as well as being able to customize to tap functions on the pencil to do what you want like changing between highlighter and pencil or pen modes. I would like to have the ability for the Apple Pencil to write in my logos books with different inks/pencil colors shades as well as highlighters that are not only different colors but different shades or transparencies. Having the Apple Pencil respond to varying pressure would be useful as well. If I press a little harder I get a thicker or darker line, highlight, etc.  Having these “notes” and highlights save as or in study notebooks without having to screen shot the page would be better as well. The main thing is to have the pencil feel and work more naturally without a lot of effort and steps so I can focus on the note taking and not the operation of the pencil and app. I would like to be able to put handwritten notes in the margins of my books easily with the Apple Pencil that can be turned on and off or hidden end/revealed and assigned to Study Notebooks as needed. Ease of Use. Thank you!

    Any improvement would be great! Logos could be the pioneer in enhancing the ebook experience 👏🏽
  • it would be nice to be able to use the new squeeze function on the Apple Pencil Pro to access the menu of highlighting and markup features.  I frequently use different markup items and it’s a little more difficult to use them on the iPad.
