I’ve noticed in recent years that more and more apps only offer “small, medium, large” font size settings. My problem is simple. I am visually impaired and need VERY large fonts.

I need my font size set like this:

But instead, with more and more apps like Ivory for example, the biggest I can get is this:

I suspect that the culprit may be Swift UI, but I have no evidence for this.

Does anyone understand the reasoning behind this trend, and is there any possible fix for end users other than begging application developers to have pity? :)

Thanks!

    but as a project it feels more undead than really alive

    and it’s closed source too.

    Then it’s a no go for me. I mean, since it’s closed source I’d rather keep using my iPhone which works great and let me access every single one of the few ads I do need.
