Hi...  I'm wondering if there is a way to increase the font size on the Inspire HR, so that it displays current HR, steps, and distance in a larger font.  I simply can't see things displayed without my reading glasses  (older guy...)   and I'd really like to be able to check things while exercising.   

Ideally, I'd like to configure the Inspire HR my way....   figure out the most useful data to see, and have a  way to display it.  Right now, the interface is really confusing, and 80% of what shows up are things I don't need or want. 

Perfectly happy to write code for this if necessary.      Any ideas appreciated!

For well over a year, I and others have been asking Fitbit to consider introducing any way to increase the font size including heart rate. There are so many suggestions for this. Fitbit just writes us back with a "thanks, it's not in the works" and encourage us to vote and comment on each others' posts. A very frustrating and useless customer feedback mechanism. They've lost me, my next fitness tracker will be a Garmin which has large, easily legible numbers.

I love the offer to write the code. They've lost me also. They clearly operate under obsolete ux strategy.

disappointing to learn that Ftibit ux is so bad... I am an older gal and mainly want to see my steps in a larger font., especially when I am playing golf... it is impossible to read on the home screen and certainly on the screen with the wasted space for the feet icon.  I recommend they have an Senior View option that we can turn on to make all the numbers larger and eliminate or make the icons smaller.  I do not write code so would be dependent on Fitbit to put this on their wishlist...
