My notes on Android have defaulted to a super small font with v42 and I have no idea how to fix that. It's absolutely absurd and is destroying a nearly $1000 investment. Please help me get this fixed.

    I see what you mean. It is tiny. And I don't see any options in the 'View settings' either. It doesn't worry me, personally. If text gets too small, I just put on another pair of glasses 👓, but it would be good to have some choices, to be sure.

    This doesn't affect the view when you edit it, but there's a big disparity compared to iOS, so someone isn't paying attention to this on Android. My vision is not bad, but trying to use the Magnification feature via accessibility is a terrible kludge for a premium app. They dropped the ball on this.

    This problem seems to be across pop ups clicked from main sources after the v42 update on Androids. In addition to original poster's eg, others include pop-up footnotes from bible, bible links clicked from books (I am seeing this problem from my devotion book) Changing the font size doesn't affect the pop-up font size.

    I don't normally use my reading glasses as I usually am able to read books/look at my phone screen without one. But the v42 has made it a struggle to read without one

    Would appreciate if this could be fixed soon

    We have made a deliberate change that when you open a pop-up or preview window, the text will be slightly smaller than it is in any books you currently have open.  This is in keeping with how our software functions in Windows and Mac. 

    However, in Android the font for these windows is not proportional to the main text, so it can actually display much smaller. 

    After the next update, the font in these windows will only be slightly smaller than the font in the main text.

    Thanks Joe. Looking forward eagerly to a fix. I am at the age where I make more use of reading glasses, but I don't like being forced to do it. That's what I love about Logos, a print size that's normally very easy on the eyes.
