Text Zoom:
If you have mild to severe vision challenges - where are my reading glasses when I need them - and you’re browsing the web on your phone, you probably recognized that

• Text flows off the screen to the sides when zooming above certain levels, requiring you to move the page from left to right in order to see what’s on it.

• Mobile web pages like search engine results, news sites and many others don’t even let you zoom in, so you have to try reading the tiny print size.

Instead of constantly looking for your reading glasses or using an off-page Reader option, now you have the best solution right at your fingertips:

BigFONT takes a different approach to text zooming and vastly improves the web experience through a new page-zoom feature with text reflow and word wrap, right on the original web page. Enjoy large-size text that stays inside your display, no matter how big it is. This eliminates left-to-right scrolling and allows for easy reading even at the highest zoom levels.

Best of all - you can even adjust the text size of mobile web pages to a comfortable level for an enjoyable reading experience.

Set up different custom zoom levels for your Safari browser from “just a little bigger” all the way to “giant” print size and activate them as needed by simply pushing a button.

This will make the print bigger on most web pages (some websites dont support font scaling) and keeps pictures and other elements in place to preserve the visual experience.

Magnifier:
Read labels, menus and everything else with tiny print. Turn your iPhone into a magnifying glass with zoom levels up to 8-times the original size. (3GS and higher)


Eye Exercises:
When looking for long periods of time at a computer screen at a fixed distance, our eye muscles and lenses lose their strength and flexibility, causing major vision problems.

Experts suggest taking regular breaks and looking at distant objects. (Not easy in most offices)

Relax your eyes by looking at the included 3D-stereogram images, which focus your vision at a point deep behind the actual picture. This is like looking at a distant object, so your eye muscles adjust the lenses, relaxing and exercising your eyes.

Optometrist Finder:
Time for new glasses? Based on your current GPS position, your iPhone will show you recommended Optometrists with satisfaction ratings and map directions to get you there quickly (works in selected places).

Ingenious App

In an ever increasingly technological world BigFONT is an ingenious idea for anyone experiencing problems reading small print on a smart phone screen. I found the install instructions easy and the App, which offers several font sizes, is user friendly. The App also has a very useful magnifying glass and some eye relaxing exercises to ease the tired eye. I highly recommend this App as not just nice to have, but a MUST have!

Absolut genial, ein völlig neues Lesegefühl und besonders faszinierend finde ich die 3 D Bilder zum Entspannen der Augen!!!!!

A rather fantastic app. Finally I can read the small print on mobile web pages. I also like the 3 D eye exercises.

Simple Idee mit toller Wirkung

Mit einem simplen Trick sorgt die App für eine vergrößerte Darstellung des Textes in Webseiten. Mehr aber auch nicht. Word-Texte, die man als Anhang einer Mail bekommt, werden also nicht vergrößert. Die Installation der Schriftgrößen und die Bedienung sind etwas fummelig: Man muss dasselbe Lesezeichen tatsächlich zweimal bearbeiten; um dann eine Webseite in der gewünschten Schriftgröße darzustellen, muss man sie erst aufrufen und dann das mit BigFONT erstellte Lesezeichen wählen. Insgesamt fehlt in der Präsentation im Store und in der Dokumentation ein Überblick, der die Funktionsweise und die Zusammenhänge erläutert.

Doesnt Deliver

I was excited to try this for my mother-in-law that had a hard time reading small front. Unfortunately, it doesnt work on blogs and the formatting just doesnt agree with most web pages.

This app is great!

The app makes a huge difference for me. There are so many web pages that zoom just fine, which are tough to read without the app. On some sites the formatting is off, but when I press reset font, all goes back to normal. It says in the app description - some websites dont support font scaling. Perhaps it’s just not possible to do anything about these sites. I didn’t find any other apps at all with a zoom feature for Safari. Even though it’s not a perfect solution, I’m really happy that I found this app.
