Feature Request: Apple Pencil Integration for Logos on iPad

Hello,

I’d like to share a feature request that I believe would significantly enhance the user experience for those of us who use Logos on the iPad—especially those who utilize the Apple Pencil for study and note-taking.

As a regular user of Logos for in-depth Bible study and sermon preparation, I often rely on my iPad and Apple Pencil for a more interactive and personal workflow. I would love to see Logos take full advantage of the Apple Pencil’s capabilities in future updates.

Specifically, I would love the ability to:

1. Rather than the current tap-and-select method for highlighting, it would be incredibly beneficial to allow users to highlight text in a natural, fluid motion—just like using a physical highlighter. The ability to trace over text with the Apple Pencil and see the highlight appear as you move would make the experience more intuitive and tactile.
2. The Notes feature in Logos is already a powerful tool. However, incorporating support for handwritten notes using the Apple Pencil would take it to the next level. This would allow users to jot down thoughts, draw diagrams, and outline sermons or study insights in their own handwriting. The freedom to sketch or write directly within the note-taking interface would be a game changer for visual and kinesthetic learners.
3. Being able to circle, underline, or make margin notes directly in the biblical text or other resources—similar to marking up a physical Bible—would bring a more personal and engaging interaction with the Scriptures.
4. A dedicated space within Logos to brainstorm ideas, sketch theological concepts, build outlines, or even visually map out passages (like sermon arcs or chiastic structures) with the Apple Pencil would be an incredible addition. Think of it as a digital whiteboard that syncs with relevant passages or note anchors.

As Logos continues to innovate and serve Bible students and teachers with excellence, I believe implementing native Apple Pencil support would offer a more immersive and flexible study experience—especially for those who have embraced the iPad as their primary study tool.

Thank you for your ongoing work and consideration. I hope to see these capabilities added in a future release

Best regards,

Chris Stamper

I hope Logos hears this and can implement it. I agree the ability to hand write in notes as well as using pencil for highlighting and many other “mouse click” functions would move them light years forward.
in my mind it would be more powerful and useful than AI.
