OneNote for iPad Gets Pencil by FiftyThree Support

Tom Warren, writing for The Verge:

Microsoft might be backing Apple’s new Pencil for the iPad Pro in its iOS apps, but the software giant is also supporting third-party options. One of the most popular is Pencil by FiftyThree, and Microsoft is updating its OneNote for iPad app today to support the stylus. If you’re not interested in buying the larger iPad Pro for stylus support, then FiftyThree’s Pencil starts at $39.95 (much less than Apple’s $99 Pencil). You’ll be able to use the stylus to write notes and comments in OneNote books.

Also in the latest update: keyboard shortcuts on iPad, and improvements to the app’s share extension when used in Split View. I like how Microsoft continues to blend into the iOS ecosystem, though I’m perfectly satisfied with Apple’s new Notes app.
