### 4/5 — What I've been looking for

*2017-02-12, version 2.0*

Excellent app and pretty easy to set up and use. Only wish it remembered the text size for each website.😎

### 4/5 — Works, but can be improved

*2016-10-07*

It works as described. Note that it doesn't remember the last font size, so if you refresh or go to next page, you'll have to adjust font size again which is inconvenient.

### 4/5 — Good

*2016-08-31*

This app does what it says. I like it. The main reason I needed it was that in the Apple News app not all articles would adjust to my larger font. Still in the apple news app the font extensions don't show up when you use the share icon. You have to use the open in Safari extension first. But is still easy    To use.

### 4/5 — Now much better.

*2016-07-09, version 2.0*

Very useful when texts are very small and it does a good job of increasing font size. 
However,it's rather fiddly to use. If all you had to do was a double tap on the text it would be terrific. 
Any chance?

IMPORTANT UPDATE:- The recent addition of a slider to control font size and line spacing is excellent. If you're older rather than younger-and the text is very small-this is an absolute boon! Now excellent.

### 1/5 — Don’t remember

*2018-09-24*

It works but it’s a headache also. Must adjust font size every time (After refreshing page or navigation to other page of same web).

### 1/5 — Size increase

*2018-03-23, version 2.0*

As previous writer for them fiddle to use. Me personally I’ve no idea how it works and don’t understand how to use it the terminology used not a clue. I thought everything on the screen would be an adjustable size from emails to Webb sites to shopping catalogs but no.

### 1/5 — Rip Off - Does Nothing.

*2016-11-03*

What a waste of time and $$$. This app had NO impact on the font size on the Safari page. I even did a restart of the iPad, hoping that would help. Sadly, no. And the link to their support gives NO way to contact the vendor.  More than a disappointment -- felt tricked & cheated.

### 3/5 — Reset

*2019-03-23*

It is really good if doesn’t reset to original size each time you open the website

### 3/5 — Please make this work for Safari reader application

*2017-03-11*

When I downloaded this I can't my fingers crossed that this application would allow me to increase the font size in the reader function for Safari iPad application. Unfortunately it does not and I sent a note to the company asking if they could fix this. If they do, I will give this application five stars.

### 3/5 — Good , but execution could be smoother

*2015-10-24*

Purchased this app to emulate feature in Mercury browser I love. It works as promised but it's not not as smoothly done as Mercury does it. Entire page adjusts in place , whereas Mercury only moves font.

Just to clear doesn't affect the page layout, only the text font size, and it's only good for the current view, if the page changes or you refresh the page the text revert to the original size., Mercury's font size feature the change is permanent until changed for the entire site.

While it works as advertised it's disappointing that it does work better then it does.

I hope the app improves, because I would love to see this feature ported to Safari, even its an extension.  Meanwhile it fulfills a need.

### 4/5 — not complicated

*2022-09-20*

i have good vision and often times wish that i could fit more information on my phone's screen rather than scroll around to read everything.

this app works for that, but it's specifically only for safari, not for any other app, and has to be applied manually for every page. i'm a little unnerved that the details for info tracking hasn't been specified, but the app itself seems fine.

it's definitely worth the initial cost of one dollar. i wish that more apps went with one-time purchases as opposed to subscription-based business models.

### 4/5 — Ottimo

*2019-03-21*

Molto comodo ingrandire il font

### 4/5 — Works great, could be better

*2019-01-23*

Works very well for increasing font sizes on web pages. If possible, it would be better if the increments were more like 10 or 15 rather than 25.

### 4/5 — A must have utility for parsley sighted people, however!

*2017-11-28, version 2.0*

This is just the utility I've been looking for, being partially blind I find it extremely difficult to read certain text while browsing using Safari.

I started off by creating a bookmark item which ran a JavaScript piece of code which would enlarge certain text areas on the webpage. However, this was a bit of hit and miss excercise due to the varying HTML formatted text in use on many websites. 

I came across this App while searching for another way to enlarge text on a webpage and I just think it is amazing considering that it is very basic in its use. 

I would give this 5 stars but for the lack of a configuration feature. As an example, when selecting the enlarge or reduction icons the size increments are to small for me so I end up having to press multiple times. What I would like to see is a way in setting the default sizes to my preferred sizes. Providing this function will make this tool invaluable for us sight impaired people let alone everyone else.

### 5/5 — Отлично.

*2021-09-21*

Замечательно. 
Благодарю. 
Как запомнить выбранный размер шрифта на сайте?
Что бы после обновления страницы по новому не увеличивать шрифт.

### 5/5 — Saved my iPhone

*2019-04-23*

I was ready to switch back to Android because of the inability to increase font size in Safari. Such a basic function! This app saved the day. Just read the instructions and it’s very easy to use. On certain pages, like Twitter, it only increases part of the page, but I imagine that’s due to how the page is formatted rather than the app. Well worth every penny.

### 5/5 — Outstanding app

*2019-03-20, version 2.0*

For anyone having problems reading on the IPad this is a wonderful app. Resizing the screen is not always available for many websites. This app comes in very handy particularly when reading news websites . Great for seniors!

### 5/5 — Very Good

*2019-02-06*

I didn’t know this could exist. It does work 
Shame on Apple that we have to depend on another app to be able to increase the font size in Safari

### 5/5 — Works iPhone X Safari

*2018-09-17, version 2.0*

So glad that this app works with the iPhone X, as the Safari font was entirely ti small. As usual with Apple, they completely miss some of the most obvious needs, thankful this app still works.

### 5/5 — Wondrous!

*2018-06-12*

With a couple of taps I can now increase font size to read in Safari on iOS. If, like me, you’ve been complaining at Apple forever for not building that in, here’s the solution. *So* worth the money!

### 5/5 — То, что искал

*2017-10-02*

На некоторых сайтах режим чтения не работает, а возможность увеличения шрифта в Safari отсутствует. 
Это расширение справляется с этим отлично. Рекомендую. 

There are a lot of web sites, that do nit support reader mode in safari. And there is no ability to increase font size. 
This extension do its job very well and helps me a lot!

### 5/5 — Works well

*2017-07-14, version 2.0*

Just what I needed. Works as described, and very well.

### 5/5 — Great addition to Safari

*2016-02-06*

I never review software I purchase but I had to for this instance 

I agree with a previous review that points out that the Mercury browser does the same thing but in a more elegant solution.  But if you want to use the Safari built in app this is a great solution particularly for those is us that require reading glasses. 

I believe the limitations of how Safari extensions have to be made explain the small compromises the user must put up with.  These limitations are also clearly explained in a review by another user and I won't go into it here.  

In conclusion I congratulate the developer for a great app.

### 5/5 — A perfect tool to enhance readability

*2016-01-03*

Works perfectly with Safari
