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

I have to turn my phone sideways every time I want to read FreeRepublic. They bring sideways helps make it easier to read.

That was your first mistake, if it was a personal decision (mine was issued by work).

I would NEVER recommend an iPhone to ANYONE after using it for 5 months. POS, it is.

I don’t understand this religion of Mac/Apple; sycophants. Cultists. Whatever they are, it’s not rational and certainly doesn’t meet the minimum standards for this geek.

Fyi, I have the same problem with FR. I turn it sideways but there is no other solution I’ve found.
