Font size?

On the app on an iPad, the font size is now tiny. Is there a way to make it bigger? Even with reading glasses, it is hard to read and much smaller then my other apps

It’s perfect for me. I think it all depends on individual settings unfortunately.

I can’t seem change any settings to make the text the size it was when the app was launched, if there is a way to do this I would love to know
?

Settings and eyesight!

The font is stupidly tiny. It’s no way aligned with other apps - none of my other apps have a font this small! It’s giving me a headache

northerneast · 03/04/2025 18:14

it’s awful, whatever adjustment has been made please put it back to how it was

The font is giving me a bit of headache as I’m squinting to read it.

I’m finding it too small on ipad and iPhone as well.

Teeny tiny for me too. I have everything big on my phone and the old app mirrored this.

ErrolTheDragon · 03/04/2025 16:50

I thought it was fine before this change, but a lot of people then were complaining it was too big. Now it is too small on my iPhone, despite me having the dynamic type set to just one click below the maximum.

The iPad is just a bit small, I have the dynamic type about in the middle. Changing it doesn’t seem to be altering the size in the comment box when I’m actually editing it at all, but it’s ok.

Minieggsarecrack · 03/04/2025 16:36

Yes very tiny for me too on iPhone app, and I can’t see a way to change it on the app settings. All I can do is I make all of my other general phone fonts huge and then MN is a sort of reasonable size, but that’s ridiculous for the rest of my phone. Can you tweak it please MN and make it a feature in the app settings (along with a dark mode!)

Here is the iPad screenshot, and the guardian for comparison.

I have font set to large on my settings on my iPhone and it was way too big on the app but now it’s much better in post threads but is still massive in the menus.

Same, it’s a lot smaller here

musicmum75 · 03/04/2025 15:10

Agree, it's now tiny on the app on my phone. I doubt it would have passed any kind of accessibility audit

Hi OP,

Thanks for reaching out. We recently adjusted the font size in the app to better align with other apps. Could you describe which text feels much too small for you now?

Would you mind taking a screenshot and sharing it with us so we can ensure everything looks as it should? If you could also let us know what kind of iPad you're using, that would be amazing. Thank you!
