Improve selecting text across page boundaries

I received a tip that you can move the text up or down using two fingers, but this is a crutch. Indeed the selection should just stretch to the next page when you move your finger, as in kindle. Much easier!

Great idea...

yes, on IOS its very challenging if not impossible. it probably can be done, but its as clunky as a car about to fall apart on a back road.

Create ability to select text to copy or highlite across scrolling or fixed screens. Please expedite this for next update as it is a basic and necessary function.

I do have an update, under settings on my phone I was able to turn something off and now I can select text just fine. scrolling view on, swipe to highlight off, smart text selection on, automatic word lookup your choice,     

Good idea!  I often have problems when highlighting cross pages 

For context, I use an Android phone & tablet.

In the Logos ([Faithlife Study Bible] I assume also) mobile app & while using scrolling/flick mode, you lose your selection of text when you let go of selecting text to scroll the page. I find this problematic & annoying if I, for example, want to grab more Bible verses to Favorite, make a big clipping doc from, share it somewhere, or etc. You also can't select text & hold onto a handle moving past what is visible on the screen to add to your selection (like in some text apps or with text on a page in a mobile browser).

Another Bible app has text selection stay selected when you scroll (discovered this is the case in a notes app & probably with other apps/places too). When you scroll, the selection handles disappear temporarily till you stop scrolling & then they reappear for the ability to add or change what you have in your selection. Text selection only goes away when you tap anywhere on the screen (other than verse numbers, which makes a new selection from the verse number). Also, they have a selection menu popup tool & it disappears temporarily when you scroll but comes back when you adjust your text selection with the handles & let go of them. This functionality is awesome! I'm not sure if some of this is related to specific Android os version, but this is something your developers could implement to greatly improve this seemingly basic usability need!

Furthermore, that Bible app also allows you to continue selecting text from the handles moving upwards on the screen (albeit fast & abrupt, going too far from where you would like till you catch yourself & can move back down some).

I did recently come across "Improve selecting text across page boundaries" post for feedback, but I saw that it was made 2 years ago! I wanted this to be a new post (at least temporarily & could later be merged into that one or vise versa) to bring attention to these issues & with some details/suggestions that may have not been brought up in that or other similar feedback posts.

Thank you for reading & considering this in a near future update! God bless you all!

When a highlight continues on the next page, Logos desktop treats the two pages as two separate notes. I have to enlarge or shrink the text so I can see the desired text appear on the same page and then highlight it.

This has always been a problem for me and a serious flaw of Logos. Every reading app has the ability to bookmark/select between pages, but Logos hasn't had something this elementary for years.

It seems that when I try to select more than page of text on android, I am not able to pull against the edge of the page and scroll to select more text.

Yes, that would be great!!! I is not very comfortable to highlight, if I cannot mark a longer passage on the go!

@Robert Kelbe  Please fix this... I want to go back to Android, but can't until this issue is resolved...

Yes, very much needed. Present function also glitchy. It would be very useful, as I like marking on the go, while listening to a book.

I came here to add this exact request! This is something that I find myself doing very often and it's very upsetting that I can't highlight and copy a big paragraph. We urgently need an improvement on this! I often go to the YouVersion Bible app to copy and share big portions of the Bible because I can't do it in Logos, just because YouVersion app has this feature working flawlessly and logos don't. 

I saw another post mentioning a similar issue with selecting for highlighting. Perhaps someone in Logos support could merge these similar posts, as essentially it would be the same underlying software to make both selection or highlighting continuation past the current viewable screen possible. The two common solutions to this in other apps (which I would believe would work here) is to either recognize when a dragging motion has been continued to the bottom of the screen and held, the screen is then advanced incrementally to allow for time for the end user to process what is on the screen and then advances further until the finger (or stylus depending on device/user preference) is lifted or to simulate a mouse scroll wheel effect and continue progression through the resource (there may be pros and cons to each approach; however I feel that the general community would appreciate either approach at this point).

The reason why, I believe, this should be considered a priority improvement is that aside from personal/academic/pastoral study, the next most important ability for a believer to use this software is at church, and where individuals, such as myself, may like to use our default notetaking apps (e.g. samsung notes, apple notes, etc.) the ability to be able to take the whole block of text being read and import it into our notes is a major use-case application. My current solution is to scroll select to the end of where I can currently see, copy/paste to notes and then return and capture the next portion (however this takes more time and detracts from the ability to listen to the sermon as effectively as could otherwise be possible).

Thanks to the original poster for their post on this feedback.
