Hello Folks. Little help needed here. Got my first iPhone, the XS Max and when I log in to FR the font size is terribly small. Cannot figure out how to make it larger.

Use two fingers to zoom in and out.

Like many websites, the FR page is not mobile-enabled so you have to use two-fingers to expand the text then drag around the page to read the content. Not great, but functional. Also, turn sideways to make a bit easier. That combination is the only way I can read the page on my XS Max.

The main problem is that FR looks like a website that was last updated in 1994. This site’s author is unaware that mobile devices exist.

When I FReep on my droid I turn the phone sideways for a panoramic view, I use the two finger spread from the center to zoom to the point of capturing the text, though I lose the sidebar, and I wear my readers.
You can also connect your phone to a TV (or computer screen) if you get a “lightning” to HDMI (or VGA) adapter cable.
The lightning end goes into you iPhone and the other end goes to the screen. You then will select the proper input to display on the TV. If you chose to plug into HDMI1 select that input to view it on your screen. This is better for video than text

I use Opera on Android and it works great, has wrap around mode and the text can be made any size by simply holding a finger to it and moving up and down, and it automatically wraps around with no need to scroll sideways. Awesome.

Or Jim could go to a “responsive” format for this website. Works wonders for cell phones.

The cable connection is what I do when I spend time on my boat. The marina has Wifi and I can stream movies.
Many cars now have bigger screens on the dash for navigation and there may be a hook up, possibly Bluetooth, to sync up to it. When you are parked and waiting not while driving!

Well, the iPhone is the only phone that will work with my new hearing aids which are bluetooth enabled and can be adjusted and memorized for different venues and hearing levels.
Biggest drawback was having to give money to Apple and their homo CEO.

Phone Settings enlarge for text doesn’t work for FR.

I wish FR had a usable app. But I don’t need to spend even MORE time on my phone.
