Pen input for iPhone

Question

Hi,

Is there hope that pen/stylus input is coming soon to OneNote for iPhone?

As far as I understand the iPad version supports it so there is no technical reason for the lack of it (writing software for iPad and iPhone is essentially the same).

Furthermore, Android supports it. So there is no non-technical reason either.

I use OneNote extensively on Windows Tablet and pen input is the reason why I started using it in the first place.

It's a killer feature and absence make OneNote largely useless.

Thanks

Hi Ryan,

Thanks for your response. I am not sure if I really understand it but I think there is a misunderstanding.

I am saying that the Android and iPad version of OneNote supports pen input but not the one of *iPhone*.

And my question is if there is hope that Microsoft will add this feature in the near future.

I am also arguing that there is neither a technical nor a political reason for not implementing it because (a) iPad has it (b) Android has it.

Thanks
