[Lachlan1979]

I would appreciate the ability to adjust the size of the text on my Ionic, especially in regard to email and text notifications.

Please add possibility to at least enlarge the font for notifications. The possibillity as it was implemented in the pebble time was perfect! Now i got problems reading notifications.

I just got my Versa and love it apart from the font size of the notifications. I previously owned a Charge 2 and thought I would change to a Versa as it has a bigger screen and silly me thought that I would be able to read the notifications better. Come on fitbit at least give us an option to make it the font size bigger.

Thank you.

I agree, without readers on I can't see my messages.

I also request a way to increase font size on notifications. Loved my Pebble Round and how easy it was to  adjust font size. Somewhat disappointed with my Versa.

Can you please do something about the text/font size on the versa?  

This is such a great device,  but the font size is a huge issue

[AMTeran13]

Yes! Please consider the ability to change the font size or use black text on a white screen.   The font size / black background make notifications very difficult to read.

Well I see a hundred requests for increase font size going back over a year.  I will request it again but I am not too hopeful you are listening.

also the light that comes on when you flip the wrist stays on too short for us vision impaired need more time to focus.

thirdly whit on black should be an option.

We need an option to tap on the screen Notifications and ENLARGE the text on the Versa.  We simply cannot wear our readers while working out.  It simply is too small to see. I am constantly looking for my phone to read the text taking away the convenience of looking at my watch.  We have enlarge text options on our phones.  The actual message is even way smaller than that of who the message is from.  Maybe just a tap to enlarge and 2 taps to enlarge even more.  This would be so much more convenient.  I had a Fitbit Blaze before this and the notification text was not even this small.  Something very simple to add and make life more convenient.  Thank you for your consideration.

Since I am an older user I have issues reading the Versa messages without my glasses.  Have you considered a feature where a user could enlarge the text and possibly have it automatically scroll once or twice before stopping?  I realize this may not be practical for all messages being sent to the Versa, but if it could only be done for text messages it would be huge for me!  Thanks.

Hello @Indyherb! Thanks for sharing this suggestion, I moved it to this similar post so you can add your vote to it. Please keep sharing your ideas with us!

We should have the option to change notification colors or font size. You offer hundreds of clock faces, you should be able to alter the font size or colors!!!

61% of the US population and many people around the planet have limited vision.  Many of us use simple "Readers" or magnify glasses and do not wish to carry them while doing activity.  Fitbit needs a "simple mode" that shows "steps", "heart rate" and "time" - rotate between those 3 features in LARGE FONT so people do not have to carry glasses while walking or running.  And many people care less about tricky apps.  We want only 3 things; steps, heart rate and time. Maybe call it "Simple mode."  We want only to see "steps per day", "heart rate" and "time" but in LARGE FONT like the time is displayed.

Even with my new glasses I can barely make out the notifications the font is so tiny.  Please add option to increase font size.  I just got it and I am so disappointed. I chose the Versa as I thought I had some hope of being able to read it.

Now in my mid-forties, I can’t see the smaller text, like notifications, clearly on the screen. Please make an option to make them bigger. Also, more clock face options with bigger fonts. I saw that many others have suggested this over the past 2 years, and that it’s “not in the current fitbit plans.” Why not? Thx
