Increase Font Size In App Android
-
@petra-pik
I agree, fonts are too small and even with glasses, some are difficult or impossible to read on phone. Only way I can possibly see if having to do screen shot/grab so I can zoom in from photos.
Please fix this issue and give option to increase font size. -
@srivett Hello, thank you, we will consider your feedback.

@Korina ... have you a release date for this fix/feature?
This is a superb app.. but for my eyes it is essentially unusable on mobile devices -
@Irishconger Hello, there is currently no plan to change the font. This would require significant changes in the app and interface, we might think about it in the future.

As people say, windy is a nice app, but I won't be buying it while I can't read it.

Why was this feature added to the apple version, not the android version.

@V-Britt
What feature was added to the Apple version ? -
It’s the other way around, Android app has normal font size for temperature and you need a microscope for iOS . Just tried today on Android free version. I’m premium on iOS and and unpleasantly surprised.

Feel the same, would be good to be able to adjust fontsize and size of symbols like for tide,
strangly on my bigger tablet the fontsize etc. (10") is a bit smaller then on my adroid mobile (5")
Please fix / improve that asap!
Thanks Heiko -
Hey jdc007,
I totally get what you mean — those small fonts in the Windy app can be really hard on the eyes, especially when you’re checking the detailed wind data. Unfortunately, Windy itself doesn’t have a dedicated setting to increase the font size for the “Wind data” panel specifically. It mostly relies on your device’s display settings.
What has worked for me on Android is using the system-wide font size and display scaling options:
- Go to Settings → Display → Font size and increase it.
- Some phones also have a Display size / Screen zoom option — this makes everything on your screen slightly bigger, including apps like Windy.
It’s not perfect, because it scales the entire interface, but it does make that lower panel a lot easier to read. Another tip: if you just need to see the numbers clearly, try rotating your phone to landscape mode — sometimes the panel layout changes slightly and makes the fonts appear bigger.
On a side note, I’ve also used third-party apps that overlay text magnification on your screen, which can help if you just want certain sections zoomed without changing the whole display. It’s a bit of a workaround, but it can save your eyes on those detailed readings.
