Why are most iphone 6+ adapted apps using such tiny fonts?

[Dranix]

Has anyone an idea why so many iphone 6+ adapted apps use such tiny fonts? 1Password uses a main font just below 2mm in height and the icon fonts is below 1mm. Other apps are in the same direction but none so extrem.

Do devs really think people can read such tiny fonts?

I, along with most others I am sure, can read the "tiny" fonts just fine. Use display zoom or increase the text size if you can't read it.

You really think 2mm fonts are a sensible size? How many pages of text are passwords nowadays? The screen is filled with tiny text on a huge empty space...

 

[Trebuin]

you can adjust them.

How? 1Password ignores the text-size preference...

How about that screen resolution setting that we got when we first set it up?

And lose high res in sensible apps and the landscape mode?

I got the big phone for lots of screen real estate. If you want big fonts, use display zoom. You only lose landscape home screen.

If that's not good enough, contact 1Password and ask them to make their app compatible with the global text size option - that's not an extreme request, but nothing can be done by posting about it here where most are happy.

Someone got sloppy. Complain to the developer.

At least they are pretending to try to update it for the new phones. It seems some developers do not care at all.

They aren't getting the font sizes right just yet. It's like this in a few apps. It'll take a few months to iron it out.

I actually have my settings setting the font size to the smallest, and I still think everything is too big :[

Well I don't talk about big fonts - just a sensible size like 3-4mm. Would still fit much more on screen then on iphone 4/5.

Just starting to wonder - How old are people having no problems with 2mm fonts?

Agreed. I'm sure that developers are working on issues like this.
