Speaking of Dorico, Dorico 2 for iPad is now out on the App Store. It's free and comes with many improvements, my favorite being Apple Pencil support in Read view.
When I wrote about Dorico 1.0 for iPad, I expressed my enthusiasm for it sharing similar code with the then-upcoming desktop version of Dorico 4. Basing the iPad version on the desktop code has indeed expedited feature releases. I am hopeful for the development speed that both the mobile and desktop versions of Dorico will receive in the future.
While I don't use the read view in Dorico for iPad a ton, I am excited to see the addition of annotation support with Apple Pencil. Even though it doesn't do note input, this development shows that the Dorico team is iterating fast and responding to user feedback.
Check out the Dorico release below.
