Assuming Dave Dunkin and his mobile team are (or will be) working on highlighting on the iOS app now or soon, I have a request for your consideration:
In other reading (eBook) apps like Kindle for iOS, to highlight something you have to follow these steps:
1) press-hold on a word to have it selected;
2) drag one of the tiny blue round "handles" to expand the selection;
3) select the Highlight option.
I personally find this very tedious and inefficient, especially step 2 (dragging the little blue round handle). I would like to propose that the Logos app follow a more natural and intuitive way of highlighting:
1) press a button on the screen to go into "Highlighting mode";
2) use your finger to highlight text, much the same way you would use a physical yellow highlighter;
3) press the Highlight button again to turn off "Highlighting mode".
Dave/Logos - Is this feasible? Is this against Apple's UI standards?
Other users - Is this preferable to the Kindle app's way of highlighting? What's your thoughts?
Thanks for considering.
