Ability to increase font size.

Those of us who see distance fine but need reading glasses could use the abolity to increase street name and POI size. It's one if the reasons why I don't use Waze as often as I'd like to.
Many thanks

    Or give us the option to change font size according to individual needs. I wear blended bifocals, and the reading lens being toward the bottom, I have to lean my head way back to attempt to read the font at the top of my map. . Taking my eyes off the road longer than I'm comfortable with. I think it can be a safety issue for people. Help us out please. Lol

    Also see threads referring to contrast sensitivity, both in the Maps themes and in the Menu. I find many things hard to read because of lack of contrast.

    Lots of drivers would benefit from the option to have the text displayed larger. Thank you!

    I'm having trouble with font in waze. They are impossible to read. Please fix this, I'm using Samsung Galaxy Pocket

    The text size explaining notifications of road hazards, etc., is impossibly small in this version of Waze on a Galaxy Nexus phone. Bring back the old size! I have to bend forward while driving to be able to read it and my phone is mounted in a ProClip holder RIGHT beside my steering wheel.

    I am 38 and I have the same problem. Font size is a critical issue in Android. I have used waze in both Android (motorola razr XT890) and iOS (iPhone). The screen sizes are the same for both devices. However, the font is much larger on iOS. Why? This difference in font size makes Waze much more difficult to use in Android. Please fix this! Thanks.

    I agree. It is important to point out that font size is an even more critical issue in Android. I have used waze in both Android (motorola razr XT890) and iOS (iPhone). The screen sizes are the same for both devices. However, the font is much larger on iOS. Why? This difference in font size makes Waze much more difficult to use in Android. Please fix this! Thanks.

    Font size is way too small on Galaxy s4. There are other screen problems with the android app on the S4 like the speedometer hides under the report button. The menu window is too small.

  • Zonan commented  ·   ·  Report

    Totally agree ! A user should be able to change font sizes according to his/her own purpose.

  • Stefano commented  ·   ·  Report

    Totally agree. Please, think who is not able to see a smartphone without glasses!

    I cannot agree more. I am a waze lover and have been using it on Iphone5 for many months. Now i Just converted to HTC One M7 and Waze experience on this phone sucks. I don't know whether it is this specific phone or just Android in General. I was actually hoping that it would look nicer on the the bigger screen real estate of HTC one compared to iphone 5

    1) The Font size for street names is so small that it is un-readable when phone is mounted on the windsheild and so are the icons.
    2) The iphone app has this feature in setting "Prefer Bluetooh" which would send the voice prompts over the my car's audio when connected with bluetooh. There is no such option on HTC one Android app. And it is a big bummer....

    Please fix these two things ASAP.

    The key font that should be bigger is at the top of screen. Google maps is bigger. Key info that should be larger is how long till next turn & left or right

    Impossible to read compared to Google Maps for Android. Is hard when following a route to know where to go at the beginning.

  • Brooom2 commented  ·   ·  Report

    I am having difficulty in reading the road alert while driving. The road alert is useless if the fonts are too small to be read and could also be dangerous for the driver as he/she will spend a longer time trying to read the messages. The road alert messages should be big and easy to read.
