Readdle Update Their Apps With Custom Drag and Drop

With iOS 11 days from being announced, you wouldn’t expect a great deal of big updates to apps. But Readdle have implemented a feature, that most iOS users have been waiting for – Drag and Drop.

So on their iPad apps – Documents, PDF Expert, Scanner Pro and Spark, you will be able to drag items from one app to another when using Split View.

I don’t want to write thousands of words explaining this new feature, because it just wouldn’t do it justice. Instead, you can watch Readdles’s demo video.

It’s truly impressive, and it’s what I expect a native drag and drop feature on iOS would look like. Their own implementation would of took a huge amount of work, and they’ve really made it look seamless. One point I have to make though, is that if Drag and Drop is announced for iOS 11, would this custom implementation be the best way to do it?

But leaving the pessimistic thoughts alone, this is an incredible feature, and makes me want to try out even more of Readdle’s apps.

You can read Readdle’s announcement on their blog, but if you want to know more details on these updates, and see some more examples, then Federico Viticci has written a great piece at MacStories.
