Hi Nancy, this has come up in a few other threads as well. Thanks for raising the question. I would love to see this as well. See also https://community.logos.com/forums/p/144642/907090.aspx

Thanks for the link Brad. The link you provided has a user who claims it does work. Can you expand on what you want to see which is different than what currently exists?

Thanks Alabama. Yes, I saw that entry from Kenneth, but I'm not certain how he's using it for highlighting. It appears to me that that the usefulness of the pencil is pretty limited at this point. I can turn pages with it, and I can highlight a single word, if I go through a multiple click sequence, but so far the pencil is less efficient than my fingers. Have you discovered additional functionality that I've missed? I hope? [:)]

I would like to be able to highlight entire phrases, circle key words, perhaps make hand-written notes, and explore anything else the creative Faithlife developers could come up with.

Currently using the Apple Pencil is no different than using your finger. It is a forgotten and potentialy powerful tool:

First it’d be nice if the Pencil was able to highlight WITHOUT having to use the pause/drag gesture that you do with your finger.
Second, utilize its pressure sensitivity capability by having access to guides within the text. This would be great for iPad with the Apple Pencil and 3D Touch on iPhones. This would be similar to the right click on desktop.
Third, utilize its pressure sensitivity capability to allow quick access to prioritized or recent resources from the library tab. This too could be available on iPhone through 3D Touch.
Finally, I would like to see highlighting shortcuts available while using your Apple Pencil, much like what is available in apple Notes currently. Would seem useful to include the option to have prioritized highlights.
